Guide to gaming room smart lighting
How should I light my gaming room?
The focus of your gaming room lighting should be your screens, your desk and the area where you sit when you’re gaming. Also consider introducing game room lights that will be located behind you while you’re gaming. They’ll give a sense of surround lighting and an even more immersive experience, especially for any friends or family who are spectating.
Which smart lights work best in a gaming room?
Lightstrips are the obvious choice for your gaming room setup. They can be easily attached to the back of your monitors and fit single- or triple-monitor setups. They’ll create a stunning colourful halo effect against your wall. You can also bend and cut lightstrips to fit along your desk, furniture and baseboards to give an immersive glow all around your gaming room. In addition to lightstrips, you can add any Philips Hue colour-capable lamps to your gaming room light setup by adding them to your Entertainment area in the Hue app. Play light bars are a versatile addition to your gaming room — lay them down or stand them up alongside your monitor. Add a Signe table lamp at the side of your PC gaming setup for an added gradient of colourful light.
How do I sync my game room lighting with a PC or TV?
Once you’ve got gaming lights in position, you’ll need to sync them to your computer or TV so that they’ll dim, brighten and flash along with all the on-screen content. Use the Philips Hue Play HDMI sync box with any TV, the Hue Sync desktop app for PCs, and if you have a Samsung TV from 2022 or newer at 60Hz and 120Hz, you can use the Hue Sync TV app.
