Watching prints in my dimly lit dining room is difficult on my eyes. So, I set out to light my print bed. This idea went from a desk lamp, to white LEDs, to the current seven color surround lighting. Included are a cover for a switching circuit and LED mounts.

I am using 5050 RGB LEDs. This allows for the following color mixes:
Red
Green
Blue
Cyan (Green + Blue)
Yellow (Red + Green)
Magenta (Red + Blue)
White (Red + Green + Blue)

EDIT 1/14/2015: I have added a schematic, a BOM, and some instructions in response to the number of views and downloads within 24hrs of posting.
