DIY LED?

I'm looking to put LED lights behind the tv as in the Philips ambilight tv, could anyone reccomend somewhere to pick these up or anyone that has done this.

Would there be a vast difference between say a 9" cathode as opposed to a 15" I dont want the light behind the tv too over powering just something that gives a subtle glow.

thanks

cathodes and leds are two different things.

I do realise but i was just thinking they would perform the same job fairly equally

well I managed to find LED strips today at B&Q £44.

This is the effect, looks better in person but you get the idea

There are various settings whereby you can have it cycle through or just stick to one colour, depending on what you want.

Forgot to mention this is a bedroom setup.
