Few moments in sport match the F1 start. Five red lights, a held breath, then they go out and the field launches. Race RGB lets you feel that moment in the room around you, not just on screen.
Because Race RGB follows the live race feed, your lights turn green the instant the race goes green, and keep reacting to every flag for the rest of the session.
From lights out to chequered flag
Green the moment the race goes live
Yellow and double-yellow for incidents and waved sectors
Safety car and Virtual Safety Car
Red flag for stoppages
Fastest lap and the chequered flag to finish
Want to fine-tune it? Personalized Reactions let you set the colour, effect, brightness and hold time for each flag.
Start lights questions
What are the F1 start lights?
At the start of an F1 race, five pairs of red lights illuminate one by one. When all five are lit and then go out together, the race begins. "Lights out and away we go."
Can Race RGB do the lights-out sequence?
Race RGB reacts to the live race feed, so your room follows the race in real time, including going green the moment the race goes live.
Will my lights flash for every flag, not just the start?
Yes. Green, yellow, red, safety car, VSC, fastest lap and the chequered flag all trigger your lights, with reactions you can personalise.
Which lights work?
Philips Hue, LIFX and Govee today, with Nanoleaf coming in 2026.
