A desk or couch, a screen, a good chair, and light in layers.

  • Light behind the screen, a tall light in a corner, one piece on the wall.

Go up the wall, not across the floor.

  • A wall lamp or mirror keeps the desk clear.

Where should lights go in a gaming room?

Behind the screen and in the corners, never right in front of you.

  • Light in front of you reflects on the monitor.

Cool blue or purple while you play, warm and dim when you wind down.

  • Every smart light here changes color from the remote or the app.

The cost depends on how many layers of light you add.

  • Start with one light behind the screen.
  • Add a floor lamp, then a piece on the wall.
Do these lights work with a PS5, Xbox, Switch or PC?

Every light here works beside any console, with nothing to connect.

  • They plug into an outlet and run from a remote or an app.
How do you control them?

Every light here comes with a remote.

  • The mirrors, Linea, Nexus and Aura wall lamps also run from an app.
