    Tiles we put on wall looked grey/white in shop but in bathroom which has no natural light, they have a pink tone which matches nothing else . Noone told us we should bring tiles home as colour changes depending on light etc. Bathroom has no natural light. Someone said led lighting could change the tone to a more yellow or orange one? Anyone know how best to do this?

    Do you need to plug in? It's bathroom so no power outlet . Or do we need to get it wired up? Thinking of getting for living room anyway, looks amazing

    Yes it would have to be plugged in. You can get bulbs also but they wouldn't have the same effect.

    They're pretty good. I have about 8 meters of them in my kitchen (along the top & under neath & they look fantastic when lit. Considering getting another couple of meters this upcoming Black Friday to run along the baseboards to reflect up from the tiles. The key is to keep the actual strip out of sight & use reflected light.
