thanks for the info, these will do for the time being.

last video is a lot better. I would try led strip lighting/led downlights. last longer and get a better type of light from them

Ah ok, get some good pics up when its all done will be interesting to see.

Im still contemplating getting surround speakers for my set up, but i hate wires and it puts me off :/

the lights werent fitted, i just wired them up to make sure the adapter idea worked.

they will be recessed into the side of the wall, 2 either side of the tv, and hopefully get some 'cool blue' bulbs, so its not as bright.

thats the one ive ordered. seems to do basically what I need, and is half the price of others!

thats what im gonna need for my games room

This one?

Auto Power Strip ES-UK1002


This is what I meant

"The main control equipment (PC or TV for example) is plugged into the control socket, your peripheral equipment is connected to the auto sockets. When the main equipment is turned off the unit senses the drop in power levels and will automatically cut the power to the auto sockets. When the main equipment is turned on again the process is reversed."

i found one, from watts clever, order now so will see if that does it

thanks for replies :)

This?

Not sure if they'd turn on automatically or just off though

Or get a remote control one

It is yes, I remember seeing an extension lead designed for a pc thet you plugged the PC into a specific socket on the lead and when it detected current drawn it turned on the power to the other plugs. so when you turned off your pc, all the accesories turned off automatically. If you find one of those you could do what you want to do.

is it possible to have 4 spot lights turn on automatically when i turn on my xbox?

if so, what do i need to do/buy?
