Matching the color and intensity of your lights to your games and peripherals can make a noticeable difference in your gaming experience. If you want to add to the atmosphere of your game, bouncing colored lights off the wall behind your monitor can be a good idea, as they can add to the light between your foreground and background.

Most of the best smart lights for gaming support standards like Razer Chroma, which allows them to change color along with your game without needing any extra setup on your end. The White and Color bulbs are the best and most popular of the Philips Hue bulbs. You should keep going with more and more lights from the lineup once you have a single product.
