Are these the lights? https://www.amazon.com/Philips-White-Color-Ambiance-Double/dp/B07GXB3S7Z

Those are dope.

Yes! They are HUE play lights

took about a month, but it came together nicely. 4 Billy bookcases (plus 4 of the single-cubby extensions because I have 10 foot ceilings). add baseboard and shoe moulding, make vertical trim pieces between the bookshelves, add some vertical height, and crown moulding - just as classy as a true solid wood built-in!
for the picture lights, i actually bought some on amazon, disassembled them and cut them down to size with a hacksaw, and then mounted just the head part through the fascia board.

I'd go with the BR30 3rd Gen or Par 16 and a accent uplight. I just did this same thing in my living room and I like that they get brighter and look more like a spotlight than the bloom.

Here's what they look like:

You could get one of those picture lights that shine down on it. They have them battery operated and with remotes - starting at $18 I just found some.

WARING: Very expensive!

Also, they require a Hue Bridge to function.

Also, it only works on PC.

Very good. This is a good example of incorporating your interests into the design of your place and making it look put together.

If you wanted to make a slight tweak, putting gallery lights onto the frames would give you a nice indirect lighting source for the room and really bring out the posters at night. The track lighting is a little harsh, so those along with a cool floor lamp by the couch would make the room look real good at night.

Here you guys go!

They look like the Philips Hue Play: https://www.amazon.com/Philips-White-Color-Ambiance-Double/dp/B07GXB3S7Z/

This should work, but I'm pretty astonished by the price. I just saw this the other day though, and am thinking of giving it a shot: https://www.amazon.com/hz/reviews-render/mobile-media-feed/B07GXVNBRZ?physicalId=61sWHXMHuPL&imageExtension=jpg&reviewId=R36K6F4VH9I672

It’s Phillips Hue lighting and then run through an HDMI sync box lol. Kinda expensive but looks super sick.


These are the lights behind the TV Philips Hue Play White & Color Smart Light, 2 Pack Base kit, Hub Required/Power Supply Included (Works with Amazon Alexa, Apple Homekit & Google Home) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GXB3S7Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2nhTDb51J48BW

Oh and as far as lighting to match your screen check out the Phillips Hue Play bars — https://www.amazon.com/Philips-White-Color-Ambiance-Double/dp/B07GXB3S7Z

I have retrofitted two kitchens with LED under cabinet lighting, both before tiling the backsplash, each at a cost under $100 USD. The first has been going strong for almost 10 years.

First, IMO under cabinet lighting is task lighting. It doesn't need to be dimmable and doesn't need to be RGB, just go with a warm or cool temperature depending on your preference.

This is what I suggest - I assume you are in the U.S...

1. Run 18AWG Low Voltage LED Cable 2 Conductor Jacketed in-Wall Wire from the back of a selected base cabinet through the wall(s) to each contiguous span of upper cabinets. These wires can terminate in a small box in, or under, the cabinet. The wiring also can be daisy-chained if needed. For example, a wire can be used to connect cabinet spans that are separated by a small distance, say by a range hood.
   
2. Wire a switched 110v outlet into the same base cabinet. This only needs to be operated by a single switch,, probably over the counter, or near an entrance to the kitchen area.
   
3. Use LED 5050 Flexible Strip Lights, Warm White 3000K 16.4ft 300 LEDs (or whatever color temp you prefer) inside Litever 6-Pack 3.3ft/1 Meter 9x18mm U Shape Aluminum Channels with Diffuser cut at custom lengths to match the widths of cabinet spans. These should be mounted at the front of the cabinet and a small wiring channel used to hide the wiring under the cabinet were it runs from front to back.
   
4. Drive the LED strips by a LEDwholesalers 12-Volt DC Waterpoof LED Power Suppply Driver Transformer with 3-Prong Plug, 60W, 3204-12V (or something similar) mounted in the base cabinet with the low-voltage wiring and switched outlet.
   
   I used these items. This setup is simple and inexpensive, any one component can be replaced easily if it fails, and it can be controlled by a smart switch of your choice.
   
   If you want mood lighting, then you can wire 110v outlets above the cabinets and use one, or two of Philips - Hue Play White & Color Ambiance Smart LED Bar Light to shine on the ceiling, or use Philips Hue bulbs in your recessed light cans.

I just picked up the new light bars. They work great, even better than the old AMBX gaming lights I had years back!

They do change color! It comes with a remote where you can choose what color and brightness. They just stick on the back of the tv and are powered via USB.

Now if you wanna get real fancy with it, Philips makes a light kit as well. Stronger light and you can control it with your phone and there’s a TON of customization options too.
