Setting The Mood With Home Theater Lighting

Home Theater Lighting

Correct home theater lighting plays a crucial role in setting the right atmosphere for your home theater. Most would surely agree that for the best movie experience in the home theater, viewing should take place either in total darkness, or under very low ambient light, i.e. either with the lights switched off, or significantly dimmed. As already indicated earlier, light plays a critical role in the home theater. Too much ambient light in the room, as well as outside natural light coming from windows, can create glare on direct-view displays and washed-out images in the case of projection systems. In particular, projection systems would ideally require total darkness for the best image quality.

Home Theater Lighting Control Systems can range from a simple wall mountable dimmer switch that allows you to control the brightness level of an individual light or a series of connected lights, to the more sophisticated yet substantially expensive programmable lighting control systems that can control multiple channels - thus providing individual control for the different lighting fixtures in the room. These systems generally rely on the popular X10 Protocol to control the different lights. A single X10 transmitter can control up to 256 different devices. Among the prime advantage of X10 based systems is that they make use of either your existing electrical wiring to send information to small X10 receivers connected to your lighting fixtures, or wireless technology.

Why HDTV?

Digital technology has changed virtually all areas of our daily lives. From the way we communicate with each other, to how we do business, shop, listen to music and play games; all our routine activities, even extending to how we pay our bills and taxes have been digitized! So it's hardly surprising that digital television has now come into our homes.
What's remarkable is that the arrival of digital TV has been delayed so long.

You'll enjoy picture quality 2 to 3 times better than your current analog set with sharper images, richer colors and virtually no noise or ghosting. Part of the HDTV standard is Dolby Digital® surround sound. Network specials, sports, and movies can all be delivered with cinema quality sound. HDTV sets use a method of producing the on-screen picture that effectively doubles the amount of picture information you see.
