Lighting ideas according to application

Streaming
Enjoy series evenings to the full

The perfect lighting setting makes series evenings even cosier. Thanks to dimmable lighting, the brightness can be adjusted to suit your personal mood - from a soft shimmer to a pleasant brightness. Warm white and subtle colour tones create a relaxed atmosphere that is easy on the eyes and increases comfort. This immerses you even deeper into your favourite series and lets you enjoy every scene in complete comfort.

Gaming lighting
Improve the gaming experience

Immerse yourself even more intensely in the game and achieve a completely new level of immersion: Dynamic lighting effects adapt to the action in real time and make every action look even more vivid. Thanks to music control, the light reacts to sound effects and provides atmospheric background music for gaming sessions. The RGB colour change synchronises with in-game events and enhances tension, dynamics and emotions.

Technology fans & smart home users

For technology fans and smart home enthusiasts, lighting is now even smarter and more convenient. Thanks to the seamless integration of many TV lights with Philips Hue & Co., the light can be easily controlled via an existing smart home system. With Alexa and Google Assistant, a voice command is all it takes to create the perfect atmosphere - without any switches. The Wi-Fi connectivity enables flexible operation via app, whether from the couch or on the move.

82 - 95 inches: 640-700 cm

70 - 82 inches: 550-610 cm

65 inch: 430-490 cm

43 inch: 275 cm

32 inch: 198 cm

Cleaning

Clean the TV set and in particular the surface on which the LED strips are to be mounted. This ensures optimum adhesion. To do this, wipe the back of the TV with a lint-free cloth to remove dust and dirt.

Attaching LED strips to televisions

Installation is simple: you attach the LED strips along the back of the TV. There are several ways to fit the LED strips precisely: Most LED strips can be cut to size at marked points. Corner connectors then connect the strips together. Another method of installation is the folding method, in which LED strips are folded at the corners (90° folding). This method does not require any additional connectors.

Control LED with television

After downloading the appropriate app from the manufacturer, the connection can usually be established in just a few steps via the app's Menu. To do this, the TV backlight is connected to the app via WLAN or Bluetooth. If the connection is active, colours, brightness and effects can be conveniently controlled via the mobile phone. Many apps also offer timers, music synchronisation or even voice control via Alexa or Google Assistant.
