Creative Ways to Use Color Changing RGB Lights Around Your Home

Lighting is not just practical. It can affect us physically and psychologically, and can be used to produce accents as well as to set a mood, just as effectively as it can be used to accomplish tasks.

Our color changing RGB lights are some of our clients’ top choices for accent lighting. Here are some creative ways you can use them around your home.

Under Cabinets

Under cabinet lighting is a great way to implement RGB strip lights in your home. Adhesive RGB strip lighting can easily be mounted to the space underneath cabinets. For this type of application our RGBW or RGB + Tunable White Lights are the go-to choice, as they can be used for both accent and task lighting.

This type of lighting is also an effective way to add light to the workspaces in your kitchen that are overhung by the cabinets, such as over the counters or sink. They can help you see what you’re doing better, and can be much gentler on the eyes while producing less glare than brighter overhead lighting.

Under Shelves

While shelves can give you a great opportunity to expand your home’s storage space and keep things organized, they also cast shadows, which is inconvenient when they are over counters, desks, and other workspaces.

Installing color changing RGB lights under shelves in these scenarios can both improve the appearance and feel of a setting, while giving a little bit of light to the space underneath.

Behind the TV

Bias lighting around your TV can help relieve eye strain while watching at night, while also giving you the freedom to customize the mood to match the setting.

Plus, accent and bias lighting placed on the wall behind the TV (or directly to the back of the TV) can be used to produce accent lighting in the room when the other lights are off, and, as mentioned, will produce less glare and be less harsh than overhead lighting.

Around the Vanity in the Bathroom

Color changing RGB lights are perfect for ringing the vanity in your bathroom. They’ll provide the perfect lighting for when you’re unwinding at the end of the day or for creating a spa-like atmosphere for taking a bath. With adjustable outputs and colors, you can create the ideal lighting, regardless of the time of day. Brighter blue and white lighting can be used to help you wake up in the morning and warmer yellow and red lighting can help you wind down before bed.

Behind the Headboard/Under the Bed

There are a bunch of great ways to use RGB lights in your bedroom, and two of the best are underneath the bed or, if your bed has a headboard, behind that.

Utilizing RGB lights underneath the bed, around the perimeter of the skirt, can help create a cozier, welcoming atmosphere, and with color changing RGB strip lights you can customize the mood of the setting.

The same goes for mounting the lights behind the headboard. Both instances will give you the ability to create a lounge-like feel, and since the lights will be out of direct line of sight, will impart a gentle, glare-free glow to the room.

In Your Game Room

You can use RGB lights in your game room as both accent and task lighting, or to set the mood to create the perfect environment for gaming.

Use RGB lights as bias lights around or behind your monitor, under your desk or chair, around the perimeter of the ceiling, under shelves, or a combination of any of these.

RGB + Dynamic Tunable White LED Strip Lights are perfect for late-night gaming, as you can adjust the color, temperature, and brightness to provide the perfect amount of ambient light to set the mood and reduce eye strain.
