The Mech Cat Ambilight System is a dynamic lighting kit for sim racing with two LED floodlights and a power supply, compatible with SimHub, Prismatik and the Adalight protocol.
It captures the colours shown on screen and projects them in real time around your cockpit, visually extending the simulator image. Built on Adalight, it works both as a classic screen-capture Ambilight and with effects synchronised to in-sim events through SimHub.
