truthfully when I worked on the specifications and order for this job they told me that the lighting helped eye fatigue. I said I dont care I dont want it.
As you can see, it was installed. Today we unplugged those lights

the screen is up. and for those who know I follow a certain football team....... And yes, adjustments need to be made. The projector was to install today too but there was no lower mount plate - plus the down pole was too long for my taste. tomorrow we adjust for that and then - hopefully - start audio and video

Hope you use the lights when the screen is off. Go Leafs/Lions look is a winner.
Hip to your trip.

Absolute BS, Ricko. Are they still going to bill you for that install and if so, I wouldn't pay it since you originally nixed it!

IMO, a cheap remedy for eye fatigue:

EYE DROPS!

I’ve read that that sort of “backlighting” makes viewing easier on the eyes. My setup doesn’t allow for that, so I haven’t tried it.

It is easy to test this. Watch TV or Films from a Projector on screen in a dark room without any other lighting and then switch some indirect lights on. This is much more comfortable for your eyes.
Because of this I bought my TV from Philips which has a so called "Ambilight" function that illuminates around the TV in various colours or in segmented colours associated with the picture on screen:
