Light and cinema have always enjoyed a symbiotic relationship. Cinema room designs can range from slick and stylish to fun and simple, but essentially the room has to accommodate many people - parents, children, the entire family and friends - and provide the right mood for every type of movie genre.
For many, a cinema room is a bespoke, dedicated room for watching movies. These types of spaces can be created in garages, basements, lofts, spare bedrooms, garden rooms – in fact, almost anywhere!
One thing is for certain, the lighting is essential to create the right mood for when viewers are ready to watch a movie and there are various ways in which this can be achieved.
The question is what type of lighting can be used to create the desired moods and style in each cinema room?
Make it a Smart Cinema
At Aurora, we have purposely designed and produced a new wireless smart lighting solution that is affordable, extremely easy to install, and very simple to use. It can transform living spaces by creating a variety of moods and scenes through different lighting and control options.
Sold in starter kits at wholesalers nationwide, Aurora’s AOne Bluetooth Connect.Control is a system that allows homeowners to control their lighting with a remote control (and/or an app should they want access to more advanced features). What this means is that anyone who would like to transform their cinema room (or their whole house) with smart lighting can easily do so.
Smart Bluetooth GLS Lamps
If you would like to add wall fittings or table lamps to the cinema room, GLS lamps are perfect for illuminating rooms and areas where ambient lighting may be needed.
Aurora’s AOne Bluetooth GLS lamps can bring warmth and colour into the room, easily controllable via the remote control or the app.
Smart Bluetooth LED Strip
Aurora’s smart LED strip is ideal to use and create various moods in a cinema room. Placed around doors, on stairs, around the skirting boards, along the seating aisles, the options with LED strip are unlimited.
The Connect.Control LED strip comes in a starter case and can easily be cut to size and extended.
Smart Bluetooth GU10 Lamps
Adding Aurora’s Smart Bluetooth GU10s to a cinema room can bring some drama with a variety of colours, a bit of directional lighting, as well as subtlety when installed into the ceiling or fixtures.
To create a stylish look and feel with stunning effects against the walls, we recommend our fixed Primo architectural downlights, which are now available to purchase with a fire rated can. The baffled design offers a low glare solution, which can be used with the smart GU10’s inside, ideal for ambient cinema lighting.
Easy & Instant Set Up
Connect.Control is our new Bluetooth wireless lighting range - the easiest way to begin your smart lighting journey.
As soon as you receive your kit(s) just open the box and replace your lights with the Connect.Control lights and place your strip wherever you think you may like some added subtle lighting. Then turn on the remote and take control of your lights. There’s no hub to set up and you don’t even need to download the app.
Connect.Control smart lighting is extremely easy to set up with the existing fixtures and fittings that most people have in their living room already.
Once lighting has been replaced with Connect.Control lamps, you can select six RGB colours and use the five pre-programmed scenes. Setting brightness or adjusting the colour temperature can also be managed from the remote, taking the room from warm to cool. This allows an array of different colour temperatures throughout the day, for example cool mornings and warmer evenings.
Advanced Features by Downloading the App
To make even more scenes or create schedules, App Control is available by downloading the Aurora BLE App. This means that you can enable the lighting to come on automatically according to the time of day, and whatever colour you like!
What’s more, if you’ve got the music on whilst entertaining people, why not place the phone next to the speakers or play your own music through your mobile and let all the lights change in sync with the beat? Whether it’s a fast disco beat for a lively night or a slow beat for a mellow evening, it can adapt to whatever your mood.
