Actually, the lighting is remote controlled, and can automatically change colors.  It is tied into the lighting around the sink, so whatever that color is, the underside of the bar is.   ;D

Benevolance:
Did you use anything special for the lighting? When I was designing a bar for our place (before I admitted there really was no room) I had checked out the Ikea dioder multicolour lights. Did you use something similar?

Zakk:
Ew.  No.   Not a real big fan of IKEA. 

I used a 5M strip of ultrabright LED's someone steered me to to on ebay.  The cool thing was with a little cutting and soldering, you can make the strip of lights reach almost anywhere.  I just cut open some CAT5 cable, and used that to bridge the gaps between the strips, and from the strips to the controller.  The strips are self-adhesive, but under the bar I cut some plexi and screwed it over the strips just in case anyone tried to pick at them.

The power converter had to be spliced to work, but other than that, the stuff is amazing!

Benevolance:
I was just reading the product descriptions and those strips are unbelievably awesome. Cat 5 for wiring the lights together? Wouldn't you want something a little lower gauge? Did you buy one of the kits that included a controller and power source or did you use your own?

Also, I meant to ask whether you did the bar top yourself?

javeryh:
Awesome setup.  Is that a real brick wall or did you make a faux one for the effect?  Either way, I love it.   :cheers:
