I love the tapestries! As for lighting I think even just plain string / christmas lights would do a lot. I think I may honestly recommend just trying some of these first and then moving on to more if you aren't satisfied. You could probably get some good ones from stores for cheap if you're willing to get a little halloweeny. Otherwise, I just got a bunch from 1000bulbs which were super cheap. They probably aren't great quality, but they've lasted the 3 weeks I've had them pretty well. For strips I've been very satisfied with my $12 Walmart light strips. If you want something more I know a lot of people like projectors like this night sky one or this wave one that I think could both look pretty good there.

right on right on.

In my experience those lighting things are kind of you get what you pay for ish, while LED's are a dime a dozen for sure.

this is the projector I have and it is very pixelated for your computer screen or movies but for milkdrop its perfect, it just has to be very dark.

But more like the other things your looking at I would suggest a UV LASER!! it instantly makes anything that glows in the dark, well glow or just your plain OG green laser if you can't be trusted with ultraviolet eye damaging power.

MOAR LASERS

I would suggest some glow in the dark pigment to mix with paint or glue for any and all places. Or you could paint a surface and draw on it with the UV laser.

My friend got this from his sister as a gift and left it at my house and, while kewl, I could buy much much much more mind blowing stuff for $100.

Would also recommend a fog machine, lava lamps, backlit/neon artwork. Oh and I did notice even with the laser and led strip on there wasn’t a whole lot of light on the tapestries so I’d say just for a bit more ambient lighting a Phillips hue would be a good investment. I’ve still got some stuff to do to tie it all together but it’s a good start lol

Thoughts on this newer model? Not sure if it’s worth it considering I have a speaker already, but it says best seller and I really like the slow and intricate movement in OP’s video.

I am getting way too excited now! I am running Windows 10. I will make sure to spam you if questions come up. I am looking at these items.
One Two

Not sure which lighting system yet, but definitely going with the string lights. Suggestions are welcome!

Red/Blue Laser

Fog Machine (Need to buy fog juice)

Sky Light

Not super cheap but pretty worth it. Just careful with fogger it can set off fire alarms. We had to cover them with plastic bags and Rubber bands. I would suggest using on the top floor of your house. The lights were Philips hue light bulbs I put in lamps but that isn't really necessary I just like going over the top.

This projector makes your ceiling look like space and is awesome to look at. It is by far my favorite tripcave purchase.

This is a little bit of a pricey combo but these two lights combine to create a really sweet effect

Wave Lights + Star Projector = The Astral Sea

The visualisation is from this Tycho set youtube video actually: https://youtu.be/dEP0Gi8kZhg

It's wonderful to listen to while tripping\^\^

​

Normally I use the milkdrop visualizer on winamp for other songs, it's my favorite. This is an example of what it can do: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mvqf7vvew089adn/VID_20180922_211442.mp4?dl=0

I will make a full post detailing my whole setup with info of where to buy the various stuff later tonight!

EDIT: For those reading this expecting an update on the room tour, I'm probably not gonna do that just yet because there are a few things I want to change around still and it doesn't feel completed yet, here are the links for the projector and the borealis light:

Unfortunately, I can’t help much - I believe they were discontinued, we got them from a neighbor after their cat passed away. They’re these ones though:

Maybe you can find something similar! The cats love them!

I have one and it's also 3D with glasses on. It's good quality, I'd recommend it.

Thanks. :) THis is actually slightly outdated too, I've since added a bunch more LED lights, blacklights, a LED changing skull and a plasma ball among a lava lamp. Still working on getting it finished and a new, better video will be uploaded.

And to answer your question, I got the Star Projector from Amazon. I know there's different brands but this should be it: https://www.amazon.com/Parrot-Rotating-Twilight-Hollogram-Projector/dp/B01518B1NK/

There’s 3 lights on the ceiling but the main blue one with the green dots is the skylite. It’s my favorite one

The moving “aurora” laser. Shout out to u/lewisearnst for the inspiration on this one.

These are the stationary spots, one red and one blue.

I also have a projector instead of a television. I can project visuals to accompany music, watch live music, movies, etc. It really adds to the trip cave.

Skylite on amazon

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BEWL0F2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So right now this is what I have:

2 sets of multicolored string lights with several light pattern settings, with one set wrapped around the perimeter of one wall and underneath my desk and the other wrapped around the perimeter of my ceiling and spiraling down my color changing floor lamp. And then I just got the rotating disco ball light the other day for that circle effect. It was much smaller than I was expecting, but has a wide range with the light.

Now I just need to hang stuff on the walls! I have several abstract paintings I was thinking about putting up. Maybe get some glow in the dark stars or something, too.
