Blue lighting for my room?

Where can I find some nice blue lighting for my room? I'm not looking for a blue bulb or anything but something to add a good looking blue around my desktop. It could be a strip of lights or even some type of lights pointing in the general direction, although I'd prefer it behind or under my desk.

If I don't find anything in a reasonable price, what I'll do is buy some cold cathode lights and use the socket on my Antec PSU on the back to connect them to, which would work just fine, except I'll have cords from my PSU hanging down which I'd like to avoid if possible.

You going for some kind of rave effect or something? I'm really not picturing how blue lighting could look good.

Just use the cold cathodes and go to radioshack and buy a 12V dc converter that puts out the required amps.

Well, behind my computer and under my desk it would look pretty cool. I've seen a picture of someone's desk here on ATOT do that and one of my friends has it so I know what it looks like

The pic that you're referring to... ( I remember you posting in the thread)...

The lights weren't really blue. His camera's white balance was either off or confused. I'm pretty sure he said the lights were just normal from.. can't remember the store.

To get blue light(to your eyes), you're going to have to get blue bulbs or a light that has a very high color temperature (10K or more).

i used to have a blue bulb in my room, in my reading lamp, use red now, the blue was a tad too bright if i woke up in the middle of the night and needed to get a drink or whatever.

my friend had a blue light as the only light in his room...being a drug addict wasnt enough, to see the guy in a blue lit room at 2 in the morning was freaking scary.

I don't want this pointing in my direction AT ALL. Maybe something lined up at the top of the underside of my desk pointing light down and back behind.
