Pics look really good.  Chris Bond was kind enough to sell me his job lot
of
color kinetics cove lights (6 of them and 2 PSU) for my project.  As of
last
weekend there all wired up in the shower ceiling behind my plastic steam
dome. I don't have your DMX controller but I've set them all on the same
colour cycling process over 1min 30sec.  You'd be supprised how well they
keep in time with each other, it takes about 6 hours before they are even
slightly visibly out of sync.  I finished of the PSU box Chris and bought
and mounted both PSUs in one box, added a Neon and output sockets.  I run 3
lights of each PSU.

Anyway I'll post some piccies and hopefully a video when I can (I'm hoping
to buy a video camera soon).  The lights are quite subtle even with the
steam going, but if you had a shower at night with the outside bathroom
light off it all gets a bit x-files :-)

The boards look really good.  Keep us updated.
