Yes, I believe in a low-grade backlighting behind a TV display, which can alleviate eye strain. However, I shoot for pure functionality for my own setups, and don't use it myself, shooting for an ideal complete darkness.
No, I don't like colored lights for HT use. Alters the perceived picture. Save it for souped-up car competitions.

Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley. - Pleasantville
Well the picture is way over exposed, so I imagine in person they aren't near as bright. Really they should help with contrast but it just depends on how distracting they are. If they are much dimmer then they appear then it would be ok.
Phillips did a similar thing with a TV to increase the perceived contrast and it works pretty good.
I'm partially with Chris here. If you're going to back-light your display, go with 6500K lighting (ideally with a flat black or as close to neutral grey wall).
If you want to do coloured accent lighting in your theatre it can be a nice touch on the walls by the seating, under any raised platforms/steps etc. But in my opinion... keep it the HELL AWAY from your screen :lol:
Yeah there just resting on the back of my display just wanted people's person thoughts and feelings on them I'll be mounting them under my coffie table and one in my gear rack so I can see what the bloody hell I'm doing
