LED Strip Lights for TV Backlighting

Give the screen a calmer backdrop

Create a controlled halo behind your television or monitor, with discreet placement and separate dimming for the way you watch.

TV backlighting concept
Lighting concept

A light behind the screen changes the surrounding wall as much as the screen itself. Aim for a deliberate, even-looking backdrop and keep bright sources and cables out of sight.

Plan the detail

Considered before
the lights go on.

Plan the light position, mounting and complete system around the way the room is used.

Use the screen and wall as your starting point

Measure the screen and the available rear mounting area, then note the distance to the wall. A close wall-mounted screen will give a different spread from one on a stand. Check the TV manufacturer’s instructions before attaching anything to the casing.

Respect vents, brackets and movement

Keep strips and cables clear of ventilation openings, ports and mounting hardware. Allow for the full movement of an adjustable bracket without stretching connections. Do not trap a driver behind a screen unless its access, clearance and ventilation requirements can be met.

Choose the glow and the controls separately

Fixed white, adjustable white and RGBW create different effects. Decide whether the backlight should dim independently of other room features. The products below do not imply picture-reactive effects or automatic synchronisation with your television.

Choose the lighting effect first, then check the strip, controls and installation together. These swatches explain the choices; they are not photographs of a product’s light output.

WW

Warm white

A softer white-light mood. Compare a sample with the materials and other lighting in your room.

NW

Natural white

A more neutral white-light appearance. Check the selected product and test it on the surface you want to light.

CW

Cool white

A cooler white-light appearance. Consider how it works with the room’s finishes and existing lights.

CCT

Adjustable white

Change the white-light tone using compatible CCT controls. The available range depends on the selected strip.

RGB

Colour

Explore colour as a decorative layer with a compatible strip and controller. Keep practical task lighting in the scheme.

Explore colour

What about RGBW? RGBW combines colour with a separate white channel. The white tone and control options depend on the product. Compare RGB and RGBW strip options and check the complete system.

Swatches are illustrative, not exact colour temperatures. Screens, surfaces and installation details change how light appears. Colour availability and suitability vary by selected product.

Useful to know

Your questions,
considered.

Will these strips follow the colours on my television?

The strip products shown do not by themselves provide screen-synchronised lighting. They use an appropriate compatible controller; any screen-reactive system would need its own separately verified specification.

Can I power the strip from the television’s USB socket?

Do not assume so. The listed strips use their specified supply voltage and need a suitable power supply. Check the exact product requirements rather than connecting them to a convenient socket.

Should the strip go around all four sides?

That depends on the rear mounting area, bracket and the effect on the wall. Measure each usable run and plan corners and cable exits without covering vents or forcing tight bends.

Can I use the same idea behind a computer monitor?

Yes, as a lighting design concept, subject to the monitor manufacturer’s mounting guidance and clearances. Check reflections, rear controls, ventilation and movement of the stand or arm before fitting anything.
