A star panel is a fiber-optic ceiling accent: a panel with tiny points of light that give a home theater the look of a night sky. This collection has four SoundRight fiber optic star ceiling panels, in square, framed and round styles, for anyone planning a home theater star ceiling or searching for a star light panel or media room star ceiling. The panels are finishing touches for a home theater decor plan.
SoundRight Fiber-Optic Star Panels for Home Theater
SoundRight Fiber-Optic Star Panels come in a few styles. The SoundRight Fiber-Optic Star Panel is black, and the SoundRight Framed Star Panel adds a frame in two colors. Both come in 4' x 4', 4' x 6' and 4' x 8' sizes. The SoundRight Round Star Panel and the SoundRight Deluxe Round Star Panel are round, with a choice of two colors, one for the border and one for the inner trim.
How the Star Panel Lighting Works
The standard and framed panels use preinstalled fiber optic stars lit by a light box. The product pages say a 4x8 panel comes with everything included, including the light box, which has a white or color-changing wheel installed so the stars can change from one color to another. Panels usually come with 6 feet of fiber optic cable, and the box-style frame houses the cable. For the other sizes and for the round styles, check the product page for what is included.
Acoustic Star Panels for a Media Room
If you're searching for acoustic star panels or a sound absorbing star ceiling, the answer depends on the style. The two round systems pair the star panel with accent paneling that the product pages describe as the SoundRight sound-deadening wall panel, designed to keep echoes in control. The standard and framed star panels don't list an acoustic function. For plain wall treatment, see our acoustic wall panels.
Planning Power and Installation for a Star Panel
A star panel needs power for its light box. Mounting questions go to the design team, and any electrical work, including wiring the light box to household power, should be done by a licensed electrician. The product pages say custom sizes are available for your ceiling: call for a price quote.
