As impressive as the star ceiling is, I am more impressed by your wife’s patience. WOW! Another great example of how not to be afraid to try something you don’t know, I am sure many will now be inspired to give lighting effects a go, they can truly transform a normal room into a work of art.

Nice work. All the effort resulted in an impressive result.

This ceiling is amazing!!! Amazing!!!

That looks amazing

Looks awesome! I've been wanting to do this for awhile but settled for an all blk wall and created a long narrow panel across the top of the wall with some fairy lights flickering, budget but still had the effect. It's my bedroom/snack bar/home theatre in 1 but I keep thinking if I panel the whole ceiling it will feel too dense in the day. Enjoyed your vid anyway. Hopefully I'll make a decision soon! I love watching home theatre DIYs.. they're just cool :)

Those Chinly light units are a very good choice I think. It's perfect that you can connect a couple of them and synchronise them as a group. A question: When you have to do it all again, would you still use hot glue? I've read that silicone kit is the way to go. That way you don't risk damaging the fibre optic strands with the heat gun.
