Note: This version doesn't have pure white (but you can mix colors to get it), and it doesn't sync with your TV screen's visuals (but the sound mode's a sweet alternative).
Got 3 ways to control your TV LED backlight: You can use the button, the remote, or the app to control LED lights for TV—pick your favorite! The app is super cool; it lets you tweak the colors super fine, switch up scenes, groove to music modes, sync with sound, and even get creative with DIY settings.
Pro tip: Grab the app from the App Store if you're on iOS, or Google Play if you're on Android. Just search for "illumi home" and you're good to go!

The button control is like your basic choice for the TV led lights. It's simple: just press the button for basic stuff.
Remote Control
We've stepped up our game with the remote. It's got 24 buttons, and the interface is way easier to use (we've updated the remote totally). With the remote, you can tweak all kinds of settings for your TV lights.
App Control
Pair your TV lights behind with the app for smart control. The "illumi home" app takes it to the next level. You can control the light with finesse and unlock a bunch of cool features, like DIY mode, detailed scheduling, sound mode, and more.
Installation Steps
Installation Steps
1.Before you dive in, make sure your behind TV LED lighting is working by testing it out.
2.Clean and dry the spot where you're going to install the LED TV lights.
3.Plug it in. It's good to go with a TV USB port at 5V/1A, a phone charger, or a power bank that puts out 5V/1A.
4.Peel off the backing from the TV background light and stick it along the edge of your TV. If you hit a corner, just bend the flexible connector wire gently—don't bend smart light strip itself.
5.Once you've got it set up, use the app on your mobile device to unlock all the features of the light strip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this LED TV backlight a good gift for someone who isn't very tech-savvy?
Yes. Most non-technical buyers complete the solo installation in about 15 minutes, and the included IR remote works just like a TV remote — no app, no Wi-Fi, no learning curve required to enjoy it.
Would this make a thoughtful housewarming gift for new homeowners?
It's a popular housewarming pick because it instantly upgrades the most-used room in the home, requires no tools or electrician, and ships in compact packaging. It feels more personal than a generic gift card.
Is it a good Valentine's Day or anniversary gift for a partner who loves movies?
Yes. Couples who watch movies and binge shows together love the shared ambiance, and the music-sync mode makes it feel romantic and immersive — far more memorable than a typical bouquet.
Does it come in nice packaging suitable for gifting, or should I wrap it myself?
The product ships in retail-ready packaging that is presentable for direct gifting, but many buyers add a ribbon or place it in a gift bag for special occasions like birthdays and holidays.
Can I ship this as a last-minute gift and have it arrive in time?
Yes — it's lightweight, compact, and easy to ship. Many retailers offer expedited shipping, and since installation takes only 15 minutes, even a late-arriving gift can be enjoyed the same day.
What makes this a better gift than a regular smart bulb or table lamp?
It combines three gifts in one — a TV upgrade, a party light, and a decor piece — for a price often under $10. Few gifts in that range deliver this much 'wow factor' the moment the recipient turns it on.
Is it appropriate to gift to an older parent or grandparent?
Absolutely. The simple IR remote with batteries included means they can use it immediately without a smartphone, and the auto shut-off feature means it never needs to be remembered or turned off manually.
Can I personalize the colors or include a custom message for the recipient?
The app lets you save custom color scenes and schedules, so you can pre-set a favorite color of the recipient before gifting, making the experience feel tailored and personal right out of the box.
Is this a good gift for a gamer friend or family member?
It's one of the most popular gaming gifts on the market. The music-sync mode reacts to in-game sound, the 16M colors match any game theme, and it works for both console setups and PC monitor setups.
How does this compare to gifting a soundbar or other TV accessory?
A soundbar improves audio only during use, while this strip transforms the room's atmosphere 24/7 — during gaming, movie nights, dinner parties, and even quiet evenings. It offers more visible daily impact for a similar budget.
What if the recipient already has LED lights and doesn't need another set?
The 4 length variants, music-sync technology, and app-controlled scenes make this feel like a step up from basic LED strips, and it doubles as a TV backlight, party light, and decor accent — a versatile upgrade even for LED owners.
Is there a return policy if the recipient doesn't like it?
Yes — it is covered by an 18-month warranty, and the customer service team is known for proactively offering refunds, giving you peace of mind when gifting.
Will the recipient need to buy anything extra to set it up?
No. Everything needed is in the box: the LED strip, IR remote with batteries, adhesive, corner wires, and USB cable. They can install and enjoy it the moment they unwrap it.
Is this safe to gift to a household with small children?
Yes. It runs on 5V low-voltage USB power, stays cool to the touch, and has an auto shut-off feature, making it a worry-free gift for families with curious kids or pets.
Can I gift this for a holiday like Christmas or a birthday without it feeling generic?
The 16M colors let the recipient match it to holiday themes — red and green for Christmas, pastels for Easter, team colors for sports fans — making it feel custom and thoughtful for any occasion.
Does the product feel premium enough to gift, or does it come across as a cheap novelty?
Customers consistently describe the build quality, brightness, and color richness as exceeding expectations for the price point, making it feel like a premium gift rather than a budget stocking stuffer.
How do I install the LED strip behind my TV?
Clean the back edges of your TV, peel the adhesive backing, and stick the strip along the rear perimeter starting from the USB port end. Use the included corner wires to bend cleanly around each corner — no tools, cutting, or connectors required. Most people complete installation solo in about 15 minutes.
How do I connect it to the 'illumi home' app?
Power the strip on via USB, enable Bluetooth on your phone, open the 'illumi home' app, and the device will pair automatically. From the app you can choose from 16.8 million colors, set timers, save custom scenes, and activate music-sync mode.
How do I use the music sync mode?
Activate music mode either from the app or the IR remote. The built-in microphone picks up sound in the room, and the lights pulse and shift colors in real time to match the beat, bass, and rhythm of music, games, or movies.
Will this strip fit my specific TV size?
It comes in four length variants — 6.56ft for 32-43 inch TVs, 9.8ft for 43-55 inch TVs, 13.2ft for 32-65 inch TVs, and 16.4ft for 55-75 inch TVs. The 13.2ft option is also commonly used for 75 inch sets with the corner loop technique.
Can I use this on a computer monitor, not just a TV?
Yes. Many customers attach it to the back of computer monitors for desk bias lighting, gaming setups, and office mood lighting. The 5V USB power and adhesive strip work on any monitor with a clean, flat rear edge.
What's included in the box, and do I need to buy anything else?
The box includes the LED strip, IR remote with batteries, USB power cable, adhesive backing, corner connector wires, and additional adhesive cushions for clean corner installation. Everything you need is included — no separate purchase required.
Is it safe to leave plugged in 24/7?
Yes. The 5V low-voltage USB design is energy-efficient, runs cool, and is safe for continuous use. The auto shut-off feature also turns the lights off automatically a couple of minutes after the TV powers down for added peace of mind.
Will the adhesive damage my TV or wall when removed?
No. Customers report the adhesive peels off cleanly when it's time to replace the strip, without leaving residue or damaging the TV finish or wall surface — making it safe for renters and frequent redecorators.
What's the difference between LED strip lights and a smart TV backlight kit?
A general LED strip is typically a single-color or basic RGB light used for decor anywhere in the home. A smart TV backlight kit like this one is purpose-built for bias lighting behind a TV, with app control, music sync, TV-powered USB, auto shut-off, and corner-friendly installation designed specifically for screen use.
