Why are you looking for lighting above the TV? To add some reflections on the screen? Wait, I see, to highlight the set up, and then turn them off to watch the TV.
If you want to add something try adding a second VP100 above the TV for even better center channel/TV anchoring.

I think a nice 16" ceramic panther with a 7w bulb behind its red plastic eyes would be nice.
In the 50's people used dimly lighted "sculptures" on top of the "set" so you wouldn't hurt your eyes watching in the dark.
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

On a similar, but slightly less tacky theme to Bob, you might be able to put some LED strip lighting around the perimeter of the display to increase the apparent contrast during viewing.
I actually leave my kitchen light on when I watch movies so I have some ambient light behind the display. It works very well.
When I first got the display, my son complained it was too dark when we watched without any light.

I will add some pics of my set up with the room lights off and LED's on. I installed them for looks and wow factor, but it does help eye strain when watching in the dark. I purchased Cyron lights with their remote as my Harmony can control the lights. Real cool effect!

The light is more suttle than the pic shows. [img]http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z161/dabears_rule/DSC00348.jpg[/img] I am not looking for picture enhancement. Just something cool to put on the wall. I would add a center channel above the tv but that would require removing studs.
