At last TC is back, my first post back on here since it went down! I am looking for some ideas for my Bar I am starting to build in our house we have recently moved to, We have a big Basement area we are going to use which has some awful flourescent lights up which will go and i will putting some Lahala matting and lots of Tapa/nautical lights we have from our bar in our old house, But i also need some subtle/hidden lights for "daytime" use so i can go down there and see things! So just looking for ideas for stuff if anyone has done similar, here are pics of what i am working with[](Uploading P1360066.JPG…) |

Most of the posts in this forum started as "similar." You're gonna need the rest of the room designed before you can really start thinking about how to light it. |

Yes i agree but i need to run cabling in the ceiling and put battens up and on top of that put ply/Lahala matting so just after pictures on how other people have done their bar, I have ideas for general look of it but the lighting cables will mostly be hidden so they need to go up first |

I think dimmable/controllable cove lighting around the room could be cool. Imagine having app-controlled RGBWW strip lights that you could take to bright daylight or tungsten during the day, but a nice moody twilight glow in the evenings. |

That metal beam is perfect for what you need as you could put dimmable lights in them on both sides then cap them with a frame and have a plastic covering that could be gelled any color you want. Also, one of the panels could be a white light on a different switch/circuit for clean up in the room so you can see what you are doing. |

Thanks for the ideas, If anybody has some pics of their bar done with "mood lights" and "Main lights" that would be great |
