Gaming Lights
Gaming room lighting is built around colour, control, and atmosphere. RGB LED strip lights behind monitors, desks, and shelving give you full colour customisation to match your setup or your game.

Choosing the Right Gaming Room Lighting
The best gaming setups use bias lighting behind the monitor as a starting point. An RGB LED strip light stuck to the back of your screen reduces eye strain during long sessions and adds colour that reacts to what you're playing if paired with a compatible controller.
From there, build outwards. LED strip lights along the back of your desk, under shelving, or around the ceiling line create depth and fill the room with colour without any overhead glare. Aluminium profiles give strip lights a cleaner, more professional finish if you want solid lines rather than visible LED dots.
For the easiest upgrade, smart bulbs in existing lamps or ceiling fittings give you full RGB colour and dimming through an app or voice control via Alexa or Google Home. No rewiring, no installation - just swap the bulb.
If you want something more unique, hexagon LED light kits and LED light sheets let you create custom wall features and signage. Both are modular, so you can start small and expand over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are gaming lights and how do they enhance gaming setups?
Gaming lights are LED lighting solutions specifically designed to create immersive atmospheres for gaming environments. They typically feature RGB colour-changing capabilities, allowing you to sync lighting effects with your games or create custom colour schemes that match your gaming aesthetic. These lights can reduce eye strain during long gaming sessions and create a more engaging, professional-looking gaming space.
What types of gaming lights are available for different setups?
Gaming lights come in various forms including LED strip lights for behind monitors or desks, bias lighting for reducing screen glare, RGB panel lights for wall mounting, and smart bulbs for ambient room lighting. Popular options also include LED light bars, hexagonal wall panels, and addressable LED strips that can be controlled via apps or synced with gaming software for dynamic effects.
Can gaming lights be synchronised with games and music?
Yes, many modern gaming lights support synchronisation with popular games and music through software like Razer Chroma, Corsair iCUE, or Philips Hue sync. These systems can react to in-game events, health levels, or audio frequencies to create immersive lighting effects. Some gaming lights also work with streaming software to enhance live broadcasts and create more engaging content.
How do I choose the right gaming lights for my setup?
Consider your gaming space size, desired effects, and budget when selecting gaming lights. For desk setups, LED strips or bias lighting work well, whilst larger rooms benefit from smart bulbs or panel systems. Look for lights with good colour accuracy, smooth dimming, and compatibility with your existing gaming peripherals or smart home systems.
Do gaming lights help reduce eye strain during long gaming sessions?
Properly positioned gaming lights can significantly reduce eye strain by providing ambient lighting that balances the brightness difference between your screen and surrounding area. Bias lighting behind monitors is particularly effective, as it reduces the harsh contrast that causes eye fatigue. Simple Lighting's gaming lights offer adjustable brightness and colour temperature to create comfortable viewing conditions.
Are gaming lights difficult to install and set up?
Most gaming lights are designed for easy installation without requiring electrical work. LED strips typically use adhesive backing for quick mounting, whilst smart bulbs simply screw into existing fixtures. Many gaming lights are plug-and-play with USB power options, and setup usually involves downloading a companion app for customisation and control.
What's the difference between RGB and RGBW gaming lights?
RGB lights combine red, green, and blue LEDs to create millions of colours but may struggle with pure whites, often appearing slightly blue or pink. RGBW lights include a dedicated white LED chip alongside RGB, producing cleaner whites and better colour accuracy overall. For gaming setups where you want both vibrant colours and quality white light for general use, RGBW is typically the better choice.
Can I control gaming lights with voice assistants like Alexa?
Many modern gaming lights are compatible with voice assistants including Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. This allows you to control brightness, colours, and effects using voice commands, which is particularly useful during gaming when your hands are occupied. Check product specifications to ensure compatibility with your preferred voice assistant platform.
