Colour Changing Backlighting for TVs

You may have seen the Philips Ambilight TV. It has a backlighting system that changes color depending on the colours being shown on the screen.

Below: A Panasonic Plasma Backlit with our Colour Changing LED Tape. It livens up any room with or without the TV being switched on giving the appearance the TV is floating.

A Panasonic Plasma Backlit with our Colour Changing LED Tape

Our Flexible RGB LED Tape is ideal for creating a similar effect for the TV you already have or for lighting a home cinema system.

Please note that this system is not controlled by screen colours. The colours can be set to colour phasing, fixed colour, or sound responsive (with controller) regardless of whether the TV is switched on or off.

Tape removed from housing, non-waterproof

The LED Tape tape has a depth of just 5mm. The 3M self-adhesive backing makes it easy to apply to most smooth surfaces by simply removing the backing paper.

Unlike many poor quality systems on the market our RGB Tape can show the full spectrum of colours and can be fully controlled by Infra-red and sound response if you choose.

Waterproof to IP67

All Tape lengths apart from the 6 Meter size have connectors at both ends making connecting different lengths and corners easy.

The glassy resin coating provides protection from dusty environments, it can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth.

TV backlit using our Colour Changing LED Tape

The LEDs used in the tape are RGB SMD LEDs, which have LED Emitters in the 3 primary colours Red, Green, and Blue. By mixing various levels of each colour upto 2.1 million colours and shades are possible!

Safe low voltage - 12vdc.

The LEDs produce a wide light dispersion (120 degrees) which gives a reflected glow similar to that of neon from nearby surfaces and objects. There are no dots or hotspots.

Below: just a small selection of virtually unlimited colours.

The tape can be cut / joined to make any length you need, connections and cutting points are at 3 LED (100mm / 4inch) intervals. Full instructions are included.

The RGB Tape is supplied pre-fitted with 230mm (9 inches) of connecting wire and a plug on both end, this allows for different lengths to be easily connected together.

Control

The LED Tape is controlled via the ICELED Flexidriver, it has a standalone mode which allows a gradually colour phasing, any colour can be locked by briefly switching the power off and back on within 1-2 seconds, to unlock simply repeat.

Even more control is possible including sound activation by using the ZAP+ or ZEN Controller. A ZEN will allow you to control Brightness, Hue, Saturation, and audio response levels.

For simplicity we would recommend the ZAP+ Controller. Advanced setups such as zones will require a ZEN Controller. The Tape can also be linked to any of our other Mood Lighting products.
