RGB Gaming Desk Archives

If your gaming space doubles as a functional room, such as a home office, it's nice to have light that can transform the room from a bright and functional workplace to an exciting battle station. Use smaller lights placed around the room that you can turn on and off based on the task at hand: use more lights to increase the brightness for a more focused task and less light to help you relax or set the tone for your next adventure.

Bright idea: Thee Philips Hue White ambiance collection, which includes smart fixtures, light bulbs, table lamps, and more, helps you find the best warm-to-cool white light for different tasks. Each White ambiance light comes with preset Light recipes — different shades of white light specially chosen by lighting experts to support you throughout the day. Set the lights to a cool blue daylight for your household tasks and use warmer, dimmer tones while you game.

For a truly immersive experience, you can use the free Hue Sync desktop app to pair your lights with the content on your computer screen. With Hue Sync, your lights mimic the content on your screen, dimming, brightening, flashing, and changing color based on whatever is going on in your character's world.

Bright idea: Install the Lightstrip plus, a self-adhesive flexible strip light, under the edge of the desk or around your computer screen and pair with Hue Sync to get a subtle yet impressive experience. When you're not gaming, set the Lightstrip to any of 16 million colors to set the perfect mood.
