A New Way to Watch and Feel
WiZ has introduced a lighting solution that completely transforms your TV time. The HDMI Sync Box with TV Backlight brings dynamic color into your living space by matching your lights with the action on screen.
This feature helps your environment reflect the energy of your content, offering a richer and more engaging viewing experience. Whether you’re watching an intense drama or playing a vibrant video game, your room becomes part of the moment with just a few simple steps.
True Screen Matching Without a Camera
What makes WiZ stand out is its use of direct HDMI signal reading instead of a mounted camera. By analyzing the video input directly, it creates accurate and responsive lighting changes in real time.
This approach avoids any delays, shadow interference, or reflection issues that can affect camera-based systems. You get uninterrupted, precise lighting that responds instantly to what’s happening on your screen, providing a visual extension of your content that feels smooth and effortless.
Designed for Effortless Setup
With WiZ, convenience is key. The HDMI Sync Box connects to any compatible media device, such as a streaming stick or console. Once plugged in, you only need to attach the RGB light strip to the back of your TV. The system does the rest.
There is no need for extensive configuration or calibration. From unboxing to full setup, the process is intuitive. Users can start enjoying immersive lighting within minutes using the WiZ app, voice assistants, or the included remote.
Sized to Fit Your Screen Perfectly
The Sync Box is available in two sizes to accommodate different television dimensions. WiZ offers two variants: one designed for 55–65 inch TVs and another for 75–85 inch sets, both available at launch.
Both versions come with a three-sided LED light strip that is easy to mount and aligns naturally with your TV, ensuring consistent lighting coverage that enhances visuals without distracting from the content.
Lights That React to Sound as Well as Picture
In addition to video syncing, WiZ includes a built-in microphone in the Sync Box that captures audio from any source. This feature allows lights to react not only to screen visuals but also to the rhythm and energy of your music.
Whether you are hosting friends or simply relaxing at home, the lighting adjusts with the beat, creating a full-room ambiance that matches your audio experience and elevates your space without requiring additional hardware.
Customizable Modes That Suit Every Mood
WiZ provides four preset sync modes, each offering a distinct lighting style. Cinematic adds warmth and intensity for movie nights, while Vibrant emphasizes bold transitions. Relaxation provides soft, gentle tones perfect for winding down.
Rhythmic brings your music to life. You can also manually adjust the brightness, color saturation, and transition speed. This flexibility ensures the lighting reflects your personal style and activity, whether you’re watching, listening, or simply spending time in your favorite space.
Seamless Control
WiZ gives users several easy ways to manage their lighting. The app offers full access to settings and syncing options. For hands-free control, voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant are fully compatible.
A dedicated remote is also available for those who prefer tactile interaction. No matter your preferred method, the system is responsive and intuitive. You can switch modes, adjust settings, or activate syncing with minimal effort, keeping your focus on enjoying the moment.
A Clean and Focused HDMI Connection
WiZ offers a single HDMI 2.0 input, which simplifies wiring but requires an external HDMI switcher if you use multiple devices.
This design choice prioritizes simplicity and affordability, making the system approachable for anyone looking to enhance their setup without the need for a complicated arrangement.
Expandable to Fill the Room with Light
The system is not limited to the included backlight. You can connect additional WiZ lights, such as bulbs, bars, or floor lamps, provided they support both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Once linked, all lights synchronize with your screen or audio input.
There is no fixed limit to how many lights you can use as long as they are on the same Wi-Fi network. This allows you to customize your entire space for immersive lighting from every direction.
Gradient Light Bars Add a Layer of Versatility
WiZ’s Gradient Light Bars offer multicolor effects that can run simultaneously across segments. Each bar is independently controllable, giving users the ability to craft unique lighting arrangements.
These bars can be mounted vertically beside your TV, laid flat on a shelf, or hidden behind screens. Their compact form makes them ideal for smaller setups or accent lighting, helping to build atmosphere without taking up much space or drawing too much attention to the hardware.
Elegant Floor Lighting That Blends In
The Gradient Floor Light is designed to be both functional and decorative. Its slim build fits neatly into corners or behind furniture, delivering wide-angle illumination without standing out.
Like the bars, it features a multicolor segment design that displays several tones at once. It comes fully assembled, so users can simply plug it in and place it where it works best. This light brings vibrant washes of color to any space, enhancing both ambiance and aesthetics.
Preset Scenes for Everyday Life
Built into the WiZ ecosystem are a variety of preloaded scenes designed to suit specific moods and events. From Party to Fireplace to Ocean, each mode uses carefully selected color palettes and transitions to set the right tone.
These can be activated with a tap and customized further if desired. Even without syncing to music or video, these scenes make it easy to bring personality to your room, whether for entertaining guests or just enjoying a quiet evening.
Compatible with All Major Smart Platforms
Thanks to Matter compatibility, WiZ products can integrate with major smart home ecosystems, including Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa, though some limitations (e.g., delay, feature parity) may apply depending on the setup.
This interoperability ensures that your WiZ lights will function within your broader smart home setup, eliminating compatibility concerns and allowing you to control everything from one familiar interface.
A Realistic Alternative to High-Priced Options
WiZ is often compared to Philips Hue, and for good reason. Both brands are owned by Signify and share a commitment to quality lighting. However, WiZ focuses on accessibility, offering similar functionality at a much more attainable price point.
This makes it a strong choice for users who want immersive features without a major investment. While there are some feature differences, WiZ holds its own as a dependable and affordable home lighting solution.

Compact Hardware That Packs a Punch
The Sync Box itself is small enough to fit into most setups without rearranging your devices. Despite its compact size, it manages to control an impressive range of lighting effects with ease. Its reliable connection, low profile, and quiet operation make it ideal for entertainment spaces of all sizes.
It is a thoughtful blend of performance and design that supports your content without introducing new clutter.
