As most of you know I love to try out new lighting products. My house is full of some amazing new tech from companies such as Philips Hue, Lifx, Wemo, Belkin, Samsung, and others. We try them out so that you can be well-informed, of the best lighting products out there.<\/p>\n

One of my newest DIY back-lighting projects was how to have some ambient lighting for the back of my TV. I figured light strips were the ultimate way to go, since they were so user-friendly, and gave out such a nice spread of light. But who makes the Best LED lights for behind a TV?<\/p>\n

The short version is for the price NexLux<\/a> makes the best behind TV LED light system for the money. I settled on checking out 4 different TV light strip Kits. Nxxlux vs LedGlow vs Loominoodle vs Govee due to ease of installation and many favorable user reviews.<\/p>\n

LED lights for behind TV, NexLux Review<\/h2>\n

If you just want a simple plug and play back-lighting for your TV, then NexLux has that covered well. They do a USB powered with Strip Light kit. It’s not controllable via Wifi, but it will turn on automatically when the TV comes on. A predetermined color is set with the supplied 44 key RF remote control. There is also an optional Wifi module which we will go into later.<\/p>\n

Just set your favorite color, and that will turn on each time the TV is watched. Having a back-lit TV really helps set the ambiance in the room while watching your favorite show.<\/p>\n

With 3 different sizes available (1m, 2m, and 3m lengths) to suit most high-definition TVs, NexLux have you covered. The 3m backing tape is a nice touch as it’s very sticky, so your light strips won’t fall off over time like cheaper Chinese ones.<\/p>\n

This is the TV LED back-lit kit I went with in the end. Mainly due to its great value and slimline hidden features. My Samsung 65 inch TV is wall-mounted, with power coming in from behind the TV. I wanted a totally streamlined, hidden install.<\/p>\n

NetLux also has the option to include a WiFi module to be able to work with smart mobile phones using the Smart Home app.<\/p>\n

This Light strip can also be powered by any device with USB output of 5V, such as your computer, desktop, laptop, tablet, or compact USB car jump starter<\/a>. You can also take it outside with your portable phone charger such as inside a tent.<\/span><\/p>\n

You are also able to change the brightness with the remote so that it can be super bright like shown above or turn it down to enjoy a more special ambiance TV scene.<\/p>\n

Govee T2 Automatic color changing<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you are after a more fancy responsive color-changing system then have a look at the Govee T2<\/a>. It is more expensive than the other options mentioned here but the colors will change to the live TV picture color.<\/p>\n

In short, it used a camera to look at the TV image and send the color signal to the light strips. It’s real time and makes a fantastic effect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The LEDGlow accent lighting kit is another well-made TV back-light system that first looks complicated with all the parts. But it’s actually rather simple to set up as it’s simply plug-and-play.<\/p>\n
