Gaming lighting
The right light for gamingThe equipment in the gaming room is almost as important as the game itself. Only the right lighting makes the gaming experience perfect and improves immersion. We reveal which light sources are the best for gaming and also show how to set the scene equally well for games and gamers for live streams.

Gaming ceiling lighting
The gaming room also needs soft ambient lighting that is unobtrusive and recedes into the background before the actual game. In principle, this can be achieved with any ceiling light or pendant light where the light can be dimmed at the touch of a button to switch to gaming from one minute to the next. LED panels, whose light is pleasant and glare-free, are also particularly popular with gamers. We achieve the best gaming setup with ceiling lights and panels with RGB colour change, where we can change the lighting scenario at any time - this creates the perfect immersion for every game.

LED strips & neon silhouettes for the gaming room
Indirect lighting with LED strips is simply part of the modern gaming experience. For YouTubers and live streamers, too, the gaming light that futuristically emphasises the architecture of the room is a must. The good thing is that LED strips can usually be cut to size with scissors and simply stuck to smooth surfaces such as TV stands, tables or monitors. You can then create the right lighting ambience for the respective game using a remote control or smartphone. Another feature for real gaming rooms are neon silhouettes or LED illuminated signs that are unmistakable: Here, all signs point to gaming.

Gaming floor lamps
Classic, minimalist or futuristic: floor lamps are the perfect additional light for gaming, because they not only provide light but also look good. If you already know that you want to set the brightness in the room a little lower for certain games, dimmable floor lamps provide the perfect setup. Colour-changing RGB floor lamps invite you to play outside the actual game: we can change the colour of the light at any time using a remote control or smartphone and create the perfect scenario for gaming.

Gaming table lamps
Nothing is easier to integrate into a gaming room than a table lamp. It is often already on the desk before the home office workstation is transformed into a gaming station from one moment to the next. Then dimmable table lamps are important for adapting the light to the new activity. Gamers who have hardly any free space on their desk can use clamp lights to get exactly the light they need without using up precious desktop space that is actually reserved for gaming hardware.

Smart home lamps for gamers
There is no better light to create the perfect gaming atmosphere than smart home lighting. It offers the full spectrum of modern gaming ambience, from saved, coloured lighting scenarios for each game to animated lighting scenes. The light sources are controlled via app or directly from the gaming chair via voice. When it comes to smart home systems, gamers today have a wide range of top brands, each with their own individual range. Very popular with gamers is Philips Hue, which has also developed a lighting series specifically for the gaming scene with Hue Play. Here, the light automatically synchronises with the game to create completely new entertainment experiences. By the way: If you want to try out Smart Home with your normal ceiling, wall or table lamp, all you need is a smart light source.

What goes on in the background of the gaming room for streamers is almost as important as the game itself. Many streamers use a table lamp that illuminates the gamer and models them out of the darkened room. Important: The light must be glare-free, which should not be a problem with LED table lamps with a diffuser. Effect lighting such as that from Nanoleaf, which changes in the background during the game and adapts to the game content, is also very popular.

The fact is: only the right lighting makes gaming an all-round experience. But there is plenty of room for individual tastes. In principle, the light must not dazzle or disturb the game at any time. You should also always leave a discreet backlight switched on behind the monitor - this relaxes the eyes. You should also avoid light colours that are too bluish from 5,300 Kelvin upwards. This is because they can disrupt the biorhythm and reduce the quality of sleep. But of course we know: There is no sleeping in the gaming scene!

Expert tip: Immersion
No daylight, no bright ceiling lighting: darkened rooms are part of gaming. Anything else destroys the atmosphere of the game! This makes artificial backlighting all the more important - the more unusual the better. Every gamer finds their own individual setup over time, but you should leave all options open. LED strips are a good starter, especially those that can display the full colour spectrum via app or remote control - and adapt to the game I'm playing. This blurs the boundary between the gaming room and the virtual world and the gaming experience is perfect!
