Unlike back in the days when you had to line up for tickets to the movies
just to enjoy watching seeing your films on the big screen, you can actually
enjoy a movie-like experience in your very own home. With huge LCD screens,
Blu-Ray media players, Dolby Digital speakers and Ambient Cinema Lighting
properly set up in a room in your house, you can enjoy the full-fledged movie
experience without having to drive to the nearest theatre complex. Just place
some popcorn in the microwave and you can be all set for a movie night with
friends and family.
You may have the biggest LCD screen or the most high-tech speakers but if you
do not have proper home theatre lighting, the full movie experience will be diminished.
If you have a large room, you can even use a LED light Strip to light up the steps and
create that ambient glow which can be seen in movie theatres. Back Ambient lighting,
behind TV light, bulk head light, wall sconces, shelf and cabinet lights – all these can
be used to add to the atmosphere of your home theatre.

Consider the size of the room where your home theatre system is installed.
After learning about the different types of home theatre lighting fixtures that you can use, take a
good look at the layout of the room. How big an area is it? Is it exclusively used for movie
watching, or is it a living room which you would like to convert into a movie room at night? The
size of the room should give you an idea about which among the different types of home lighting
fixtures are best used to achieve your desired effect.
Top Tips for Home Theatre Lighting
Learn about the different types of home theatre lighting fixtures that you can use.
There are a multitude of home theatre lighting fixtures that you can use if you would like to create
that movie house experience.
Know how to avoid direct glare and shadows on the screen.
There are a few more rules that you need to remember when lighting up a room where your home
entertainment system is in. First, it is important to use low lights – but a theatre should never be
completely dark. Use subtle lights so that the people inside can still move around safely instead of
fumbling around in complete darkness for their popcorn or drinks. To avoid shadows on the screen,
keep the back of the TV as dark as possible. You can also avoid direct glare on the screen by using
LED Controllers or LED Dimmers.
Use fun accents to add to the theatre atmosphere.
Finally, you can use fun accents like a lit-up EXIT sign by the door so that guests would know
where to go if they want to leave while a movie is still being shown. Light sconces with film strip
designs and alleyway lights should complete your home theatre lighting system and give you that
full movie house watching experience.
Led Light strip is able to generate many
millions of shades and colours, it's easy
to operate and more important -these
colours are easy to change! LED lighting
is not just something modern. Never before
have people had such a flexible tool for any
home decorative idea!
Today the most popular lighting is the
color changing RGB one in residential
properties: coloured light can be used
to underline architectural details -niches,
windows, cornices; as mood lighting in
living room and as ambient light around
TV or other entertaining units.
The most successful lighting schemes
rely principally on concealed sources,
so that you see the light diffused over
surfaces but not source of the individual
light. By placing a LED Light Source behind
you TV unit or Home Theatre you create the
illusion of depth, resulting in less eyestrain
and a more pleasant viewing experience.
With LED Light Strips and LED Bars you
can create small pools of light whilst keeping
ambient light levels low.
RGB LED strips are an excellent option for
colour wash lighting schemes. These low
profile strips can easly be incorporated in
skirting, dado rails, picture rails or coving
to cast light up or down a wall or across a
ceiling or floor.
