I might be buying a flat soon and would like to light it up vospad stlye http://www.thevospad.com/vospad.htm but before entering into this kind of financial burden i would like to test a smallerscale system in my current bedroom. i would maybe use ten leds in total.
as i cannot drill holes in the floor to put the lights in i was thinking of putting them in the ceiling corner thus directing the light across the ceiling and maybe some of them shooting down towards the floor.
i have found these RGB leds so far, are there any more i dont know of ?

( the latter favoured as it costs half the price )
are optics required for the colours to blend or they bland even without optics ?
To avoid buying the very expensive rgb dirvers for each led i was thinking of using a high power transformer ( in order to use them with mains voltage ) set to about 3.5V and connecting all leds in parallel. i would then use 3 variable resistors, one for each colour ( each calibrated for the required current range of each colour ) to be able to change the intensity of each colour thus changing the emitted colour of the rgb.
I know that having them all in parallel with one driver may result in a slightly different colour for each led due to binningetc.. but im not that fussy at this point.
What do you guys think ? would it work, any pointers/ideas ?
Thanks
