Decide where to add mood lighting.
The best place to add mood lighting depends on what kind of vibe you’re going for… If you’ve got a TV in your man cave or games room, add some Govee smart lights around the edges of the screen to create a more immersive experience. Sync them up with your favourite video game or movie for some extra fun. By backlighting the TV screen, you are able to reduce eye strain by adding ambient, comfortable lighting.
For a more subtle effect, add some Govee lights underneath your furniture. This will create a soft glow that adds some extra depth to your space.
If you’re lucky enough to have your own home theatre, or games room, add some Govee lights around your seating. You could even choose a colour that matches your favourite game or movie to really immerse yourself in the experience.
Installing the lights is easy, simply peel and stick the LED strips wherever you want. We’re talking round the skirting boards, ceilings, behind shelves, you name it!
