Special permission for filming - and they are using bulbs rather than LED's :)

Might get away with white on the front, amber on the side and red on the back... so long as it doesn't blind people. :)

Get yourself a few strips of the LED's ordered, even if you don't need them now, get them ordered and look at them every now and then, you'll get other ideas on how to use them and mount them. I've got a nice length of ali lipped channel which lets me slide the strip of LED's in to it and holds them well - something like that would be perfect for the door step.

I think you can get automated RGB remotes but with 4 places of white-colored you would still get white-colored ?
