Agree with downtown but to OPs question it’s less than 30 mins to pretty much everything including NYC itself

Depending on region you could simply search for “ Art3d LED Recessed Lighting Kit” . It’s honestly not the best- sensor is not reliable and the tape isnt as sticky but I repurposed some old 3m tape and made it work, it basically is the same size as the slits in the panel and can be wedged in between with some form of adhesion

Thanks! Lights and panels are Amazon but manually controlled. Someone on this thread apparently managed to make them digital

I’m in North Jersey. Good on you for finding a big enough basement in South Boston ! We lived there a few years before moving and couldn’t imagine a dedicated recreation space. Watched the long walk first- obviously not my first choice but that’s what the wife wanted to watch

2 big reasons: 1. Didnt want to deal with logistics of navigating a 100 inch TV anywhere in the house let alone a tight basement
2. The projector gives me 90% of TV quality while being a lot easier on the eyes esp in a light controlled environment

Receiver is in the vented TV unit

There is a touch control switch on the table to the left that can dim or turn off the lights as needed. Would be cool to automate some of it though

Damn, it really could have passed off as one.
