The old ceiling was nailed to the rafters. Recent pluming problems> have me ready to tear it all down.>

I was thinking of putting up a hanging ceiling. I want to paint it> black and poke holes for backlighting to come through like a star> field. I have 4'x 8' sheets of clear plastic (for vacuum forming> ramps) that I will cut into 2'x 4' tiles. Staggered around the> ceiling (no to close together) I want to put these up with Translites> behind them. The clear edges will be painted like a matt around a> picture that does not fit in a frame.>

In the rafters I want light but no heat. I was thinking of some kind> of 12 volt system so I can have quite a few bulbs casting down at least> over each translate. Maybe around 20 translites.>

I think you all get the idea. Will it look stupid? Is there a fire> hazard having plastic tiles? Let me know what you think. Maybe it> will just look stupid.>

Here is a company that make 24 volt star ceiling tiles> http://www.ccl-ligh­t.com/docs/indoor/st­arpanels/index.html>­
