The Latest in Home Theater Lighting

Schedule Now

Home theater lighting shouldn’t be an afterthought when you’re designing your own in-house entertainment space. Lighting a home theater is different from illuminating other living spaces. This applies whether the room is a purpose-built theater space, or a converted room like a garage. Lighting sets the mood before the entertainment begins. Once the show starts, simply “dark” isn’t sufficient. Here are some lighting ideas for creating the right ambiance before the show and the best viewing experience during it.

Central Control

All home theater lighting controls can now be integrated into a single system that interacts with every light in the room. You can execute overall room dimming as well as adjusting individual bulbs or sub-systems like floor lighting anywhere in the theater — all without leaving your chair to reach for a wall switch. Selectable lighting configuration options display on a small screen incorporated into a hand-held remote or appear as a menu up on the big screen.

Adjustable Temperature

Look around your local theater and you’ll notice that the room is never totally dark, even while the film’s playing. A controlled amount of ambient light is always present. The color temperature of bulbs utilized in a home theater is important, particularly those providing ambient background light. For best viewing conditions, ambient light should be at a color temperature of 6,500 degrees Kelvin. This provides optimum color fidelity for the image on the theater screen. Dedicated dimmable LED wall and floor lights provide ambient light and can be dialed to the exact color temperature and brightness to support faithful color on the screen.

Architectural Lighting

Emphasizing the interior design of the theater — without compromising optimal viewing conditions — is also a goal of home theater lighting. Fully dimmable, flexible LED tapes or ropes with adjustable color can be strategically installed to cast indirect lighting that accentuates interior design details. They can also add theatrical mood scenery such as a field of stars on the ceiling.

"Ernie & Mike did a superb job on my new furnace and A/C installation. Despite having more than a day’s work to do, they came in and stayed until the job was done. They were organized, efficient, and protected the rest of the house well. Got both furnace and A/C installed the same day. Ernie was courteous, informative, and clearly knew his job better than anyone I’ve encountered before. The units look so good guests now get The Tour of our new system. Apollo is clearly not a fly-by-night company. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a new furnace and/or A/C."

"I called Apollo because of a water leak I thought I had in our upstairs shower going into the kitchen. Robbie came and assured me everything was fine & looked at all the other plumbing. He ended up changing a few pipes for our washer & clearing a drain. He was very nice & knowledgeable with all my questions. I ended up signing up for the care plan & was very happy with my service."

"The team at Apollo exceeded my expectations. As a business owner, my attention to the details and commitment to providing excellent service is high. From the sales rep. to the installation team, everyone’s performance was outstanding. For example, the installation team went to great lengths to protect our floors, placing floor runners and across the wood floors and up the stairs. They even were spot washing walls upon their departure. I highly recommend this company."

"We scheduled an estimate AND a tune-up. We knew something was wrong with our furnace, but hoped we could make it through the rest of the season. Upon telling Bill what our furnace was doing, he warned us immediately what the possible outcome was going to be; a cracked heat exchanger. He watched the flames roll backward, tested carbon monoxide levels, which were so high they meter’s last reading was 5,600 before saying “high”. He immediately shut it down, tagged it, and explained that with levels that high and children in our home he wanted off right away. He continued his inspection and showed us via a camera that not only was it cracked in multiple places, but had holes all over it. He gave us a few options for repairing it; his knowledge as well as genuine concern was beneficial and refreshing. Luckily we also scheduled an estimator, Micah, to come too and we were able to get costs between repairing and replacing (with several options). We decided to replace with a much higher efficiency furnace and one sized properly to our home. Hands down, not only did they both provide us great service and knowledge, but without sounding dramatic, they may have saved our lives. This was our first time calling Apollo, but it won’t be our last."

"Apollo is an excellent company. I always receive great service. Alex A. was professional and friendly. He kept me informed during the process of checking my furnace and heat pump to make sure they were working properly. The company makes sure you are notified who is coming and when they are on the way. All my interactions with the company have been wonderful."
