Our New StarEFX™ Starlight Kits Have Arrived!

16th Sep 2022

LightEFX is pleased to announce our new products, ‘StarEFX™ Starlight Kit’ and the ‘StarEFX™ Starlight Acoustic Foam Panel Kit!’

Our team has been working tirelessly to create the perfect solution to get affordable starlights in your home.

While StarEFX™ already has starlight solutions such as the ‘Modular Panels’ and ‘Integrated Ceilings,’ we wanted to create a product that gave you more creative control over where and how you want to design and display your galaxies.

Options are limitless in what you can create with our starlight kits. Add starlights to your acoustic foam panels, desk, shelves, and more.

This kit is perfect for gamers and streamers who want to add personal touches to their lighting and furniture set ups. Tie in the theme of your room and stand out from the crowd. Make your streaming background memorable and entertaining for viewers, with the ability to change and adapt it whenever you want. Have complete control of your room's theme by creating a galaxy background, outlining one of your favorite game characters in starlights, and highlighting figurines and decorations. This kit is designed to adapt easily to your lighting needs so you can choose where and how you want to place your starlights.

Level up and achieve your design dreams in your one-of-a-kind gaming or streaming setup with the StarEFX™ Starlight Kits.

Idea Concept

The idea behind the Starlight Kit originated from wanting to create a product that changes how people buy acoustic foam panels.

Many people need soundproofing or sound absorption for gaming rooms. When searching the internet for acoustic foam panels, we found it is a minimal market, with the most popular foam panels being the charcoal square foam panels. When designing a gaming room or streaming setup that needs soundproofing, the most you can do is change the shape and color of the foam panels and then choose how you want to display them.

The idea then came to us of ‘what if we could give people an affordable way to add starlights to the charcoal square foam panels?’

Thus, after trial and error, we created the StarEFX™ Starlight Kits.

The kit is easy to install, and the fiber optic cables push through the foam panels without damaging or ruining the sound absorption.

This kit has completely changed how we see the classic charcaol acoustic foam panels. The panels can now be used as a canvas where you can add starlights into any design you please. When lit up, the panels transform and become the room's feature or tie in the room’s aesthetic depending on what design is created.

After playing around with the finished product, we realized that not only can this product be used for foam panels, but with the small modular design, they can be used for much, much more.

Sustainable and Cost-Effective

The Starlight Kit has been designed as a ‘pay as you need’ concept. Each kit comes with 28 fiber endpoints or ‘stars.’ This reduces material waste for smaller projects while also being cost-effective for customers. If you only need the 28 stars, you’re good to go with the one kit. For projects requiring more stars, Starlight Kits can be purchased with a power link cable. This means you can connect up to 25 starlight kits and power them all with the 1 power supply and consequently only have minimal cable management.

With 24 Starlight Kits all linked up, your designs could have up to 700 stars (endpoints) all powered up by 1 power supply.
