great cage would love to build one similar some day

No builds pics sorry, but glad to help where I can. The LED lighting I used is by 'White Python'. Its quality kit, don't what its like compared to stuff off eBay but it is expensive. Like most of these LED kits you can add / remove selections. Its held in place using stick on magnetic strips which work extremely well. You just need to make sure you don't leave any small loop or overhang with the cable as they'll have them down in no time! They also cost peanuts to run and give a much cleaner crisp light. I use the white ones but I've seen blue and red being used to great effect.

I wouldn't bother lighting the sides as well, you'll find a strip across the top gives ample light.

Cool, at that price it's worth a try. If they don't work out you can always have a disco

The SMD LED light are extremely bright. I have a set on my motorcycle and you can see it out side in the middle of the day.

I checked out the white python kit on their website. Quality kit! I use rgb strips and like the option to change colors.
