360° Photo Booth Lighting in Lebanon with TM1934 RGB Pixel LED Strip Case

Photo Booth Lighting in a 360° photo booth does more than simply illuminate the platform. Because the camera moves around the subject, the LED lighting installed around the booth also becomes part of the final video.

 

For this project in Lebanon, the customer wanted a 360° Photo/Video Booth that could do more than display one fixed color. They needed different colors and dynamic lighting effects that could change the overall look of the platform.

To achieve this, the project used a TM1934 addressable RGB LED strip with a compatible controller, allowing the lighting to change with different effect settings.

The customer’s original requirement was simple:
How can we make the 360° platform display different colors and turn the lighting itself into part of the video experience?

This project came from a customer in Lebanon and involved a 360° Photo/Video Booth with a rotating camera setup.

As the camera moves around the person on the platform, it captures the subject and the surrounding environment from different angles. This means the lighting installed around the booth can also appear directly in the recorded video.

For this customer, the goal was not simply to provide basic illumination.
They wanted color and motion to become part of the overall visual experience.

So when selecting the lighting solution, the question was not only whether the LED strip could change color, but also how the colors could change and what those effects would look like on camera.

A 360° Photo Booth records movement from multiple angles, so the lighting remains visible throughout much of the video rather than appearing in only one fixed shot.

White lighting or a single static color could provide basic illumination, but that was not what the customer wanted.

They needed the platform to change color and create more dynamic visual effects.

With a conventional RGB LED strip, the whole strip normally displays the same color at the same time. If it is set to blue, the entire platform appears blue. Change it to red, and the whole strip turns red together.

The customer wanted more flexibility than that.
So the real question was not:
“Can an RGB LED strip change color?”
It was:
“How can the lighting around the 360° platform create more flexible color changes and dynamic effects?”
That requirement became the key factor in selecting the lighting system.

Based on the customer’s need for changing colors and dynamic effects, we selected a TM1934 addressable RGB LED strip together with a compatible controller.

For this project, the customer received the following LED strip configuration:

Item	Specification
IC	TM1934
LED Density	60 LEDs/m
Voltage	12V DC
PCB	10mm Black PCB
Waterproof Rating	IP20

The TM1934 solution was selected mainly because the customer wanted more than basic RGB color changing.
They did not want every video to have the same visual appearance. Instead, they wanted to create different colors and effects for different settings and events.

Using a programmable lighting system made that possible.
Rather than keeping the entire strip static, the controller can be used to create changing color patterns and dynamic effects around the platform. This is where programmable LED strips offer a clear advantage in this type of application.

For this project, the important point was not how many technical features TM1934 could offer on paper. What mattered was whether its control method matched the lighting effect the customer actually wanted.

We have already covered the TM1934 IC, specifications, control features and available configurations in a separate product guide, so we do not repeat all of that technical information here.
