Collection: TV Lights

Lighting that reads your screen

A TV sync backlight is a light strip mounted behind your screen that reads the video signal in real time and throws matching colour onto the wall. Bright scenes fill the room, dark scenes stay dark, and the picture reads as wider than the panel it's playing on.

Every Mitsuko TV kit syncs through an HDMI sync box, included in the box. That matters: a sync box reads the actual video signal travelling to your TV, rather than guessing from a camera pointed at the screen or a microphone listening to the room. It's the difference between lighting that tracks the picture and lighting that approximates it.

What you need plugged in

Because the sync box sits in the signal path, you need an external source running through it — a Fire TV Stick, a set-top box, a Blu-ray player or a console. Your source plugs into the sync box, the box plugs into the TV.

If you only watch through your TV's built-in apps, there's no external signal for the box to read and the lights won't track the picture. This is the single most common misunderstanding about screen sync lighting, so it's worth being certain before ordering. Do I need a Fire TV Stick for a TV backlight? covers it in full.

Choosing your kit

AmbiMotion 2.1 Pro — three HDMI 2.1 ports

Most sync boxes take a single HDMI input, which means a console, a set-top box and a streaming stick end up sharing one port and you swap cables to switch between them. The AmbiMotion 2.1 Pro carries three HDMI 2.1 inputs, so everything stays connected and nothing downgrades on the way to the screen — 8K at 60Hz, 4K at 120Hz, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos passthrough, with VRR and ALLM supported across all three ports.

Its strip also runs 60 LEDs and 28 chips per metre, roughly 50% denser than typical market backlights. Density is what keeps colour transitions smooth across a large panel instead of blocky, and it's the difference you notice most on a 65-inch screen and up.

AmbiMotion 2.1 — HDMI 2.1, single input

The AmbiMotion 2.1 is the same HDMI 2.1 sync box with one port instead of three. If you run a single source — a console or a streaming stick, not both — this covers it without paying for inputs you won't use.

AmbiMotion 2.0 and 2.0 Pro — HDMI 2.0

The AmbiMotion 2.0 handles 4K at 60Hz, which is what most streaming content and most TVs actually deliver. The AmbiMotion 2.0 Pro steps up the strip and the output for larger or brighter rooms while staying on the same standard — one HDMI in, one out, so it suits a single-source setup.

Not sure whether you need HDMI 2.1 at all? Do you need an HDMI 2.1 sync box for your TV backlight? explains when it matters and when 2.0 is enough.

Sizing your backlight

Mitsuko TV kits cover screens from 27 to 120 inches across three variants — up to 65 inches, 65 to 90 inches, and 90 to 120 inches.

Measure the perimeter of the back panel, not the diagonal. The number on your TV's box is the corner-to-corner measurement, while the strip runs around all four edges. Choose the variant that covers all four sides with a little slack at the corners — falling short leaves one edge dark, and overshooting means doubling the strip back on itself, which creates bright spots.

App and voice control

Every kit is controlled through the Smart Life app — scenes, schedules, brightness and colour in one place. Alexa and Google Assistant are both supported, so your lighting ties into whatever you already run at home.

Beyond the screen

TV backlighting is where most setups start. Light bars either side of the screen, wall panels behind it, and strip lighting around the room all sync to the same source — so the whole space moves with the film rather than a single glowing rectangle. For a full cinema setup, see Home Theatre.
