Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, today announced the launch of the Philips LightTheatre in India, a groundbreaking smart lighting solution designed to transform home entertainment into an immersive, multi-sensory experience. The system dynamically integrates lighting with visual and audio content, enhancing movies, music, and gaming for consumers seeking holistic, next-level entertainment solutions.
Building on over a decade of success with Hafele’s Loox range, Signify addresses the evolving need for advanced room illumination by bridging the gap between inconsistent local options and inaccessible international brands. The Philips Smart Entertainment Range delivers a complete, all-in-one solution, providing a cinematic experience in the comfort of home.
The Philips LightTheatre system is powered by advanced HDMI Sync Technology, which reads signals directly from any HDMI-connected device. Lights respond dynamically to video and audio in real time, projecting ultra-accurate effects onto surrounding walls. Compatible with Philips gradient light bars, gradient floor lights, and other Wi-Fi connected Philips smart lights, the system creates a holistic immersive experience, turning ordinary viewing into a captivating “light theatre” environment.
The system offers versatile features, including:
- Immersive HDMI Sync Technology: Analyzes video and music signals for real-time dynamic lighting effects.
- Easy Plug and Play: Quick, effortless setup with existing home entertainment devices.
- Multicolor Gradient Segments: Wide spectrum of customizable colors for tailored lighting atmospheres.
- WiZ App Control: Full control via the WiZ app, including brightness adjustment, scene selection, and four preset modes—Cinematic, Vibrant, Relaxation, Rhythmic.
- Expandable Ecosystem: Link multiple Philips Smart LED lights to the HDMI Sync Box for simultaneous syncing with TV content.
- Voice Control Integration: Compatible with Google Assistant, Alexa, and Siri Shortcuts for convenient hands-free operation.
C Arun Kumar, Head of Consumer Business, Signify, Greater India, commented, “Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. In India, where digital entertainment is increasingly central to daily life, the quality of content experience matters more than ever. Philips LightTheatre transforms ordinary viewing into immersive, cinematic experiences, enabling people to truly feel every moment. Whether watching sports, movies, or listening to music, LightTheatre blends technology, emotion, and lifestyle seamlessly.”
By integrating HDMI Sync Box, TV backlight strips, Philips gradient light bars, and gradient floor lights, the Philips LightTheatre creates a fully immersive environment. Lights can automatically respond to on-screen action, ensuring uniform brightness, precise color representation, and smooth gradients. Users can tilt lights up to 90° and rotate 355°, providing versatility in achieving both functional illumination and atmospheric ambience.
Designed for both architects, designers, and homeowners, the system combines performance, flexibility, and aesthetic appeal. It allows users to craft personalized lighting schemes, enhance interior design, and elevate everyday entertainment experiences. Whether for movie nights, gaming sessions, or music listening, the Philips LightTheatre transforms homes into truly interactive entertainment spaces.
With its launch ahead of the festive season, Philips LightTheatre positions Signify as a leader in connected, immersive home lighting, reaffirming the company’s commitment to innovation, enhanced user experiences, and the future of smart home entertainment in India.
