A 160cm Artiss RGB LED TV cabinet works in Australian streaming lounges when power boards, HDMI runs and LED cable exits are planned before the TV sits on top — map wall outlets to rear cut-outs, leave service slack, and keep RGB controllers reachable without sliding the whole unit.

Who this is for
This guide is for households running a wall-facing or cabinet-mounted TV with a streaming stick, console, soundbar and maybe a modem nearby. It suits open-plan lounges, media nooks and bedroom gaming setups where cable clutter shows. Australian renters who cannot chase walls still benefit from tidy rear routing and a power plan that avoids daisy-chained boards behind closed doors.
Darrah Opens lists Artiss 160cm LED entertainment units in finishes such as black gloss RGB and white matt LED — choose ambience versus a calmer daytime look before you buy.
Specs and measuring checklist
Use the product listing for exact weights and drawer counts. As a planning baseline for the white 160cm LED unit on Darrah Opens: overall about 160 × 38 × 50 cm, tabletop capacity listed up to 80 kg, and TV fit guidance up to about 65-inch class — always re-check your SKU.
| Check | Measure / plan | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Wall width | Cabinet 160 cm + breathing room each side | Skirting, doors and curtains need clearance |
| Depth | Unit depth vs walkway and rug | Avoid shin-hits on the front edge |
| Outlet map | Height and offset of GPOs behind the unit | Align with rear cable exits |
| TV footprint | Stand width and depth on the top surface | Keep mass centred; respect listed top load |
| Soundbar | Bar width vs shelf/front overhang | Prevent hanging past the cabinet face |
| Anti-tip | Wall stud or solid fix points | Required in homes with kids or pets |
Power and cable checklist
- Map every device that needs power: TV, LED controller/PSU, console, soundbar, streaming stick hub, lamp.
- Prefer one quality power board with surge protection — avoid stacking boards behind closed doors.
- Leave HDMI and power slack for service pulls (cleaning, swapping consoles).
- Route LED and controller cables so they are not pinched in drawer runners.
- Keep ventilation paths open for warm devices — do not seal consoles in unvented cupboards if the design is open-shelf oriented.
- Label HDMI ends at both sides once the layout is final.
Step-by-step outlet and layout workflow
- Dry-fit the empty cabinet against the wall and mark where rear openings line up with outlets.
- Place the power board on the floor or a rear shelf zone that stays accessible — not buried under carpet.
- Run HDMI first from TV to primary source, then add a short extension only if needed.
- Seat the TV centred on the top; confirm the stand sits fully on the surface within the listed capacity.
- Connect RGB / LED per the listing (some units use app or remote control). Test modes before loading drawers.
- Load media drawers with lighter items forward; keep manuals and spare remotes in one labelled tray.
- Fit anti-tip hardware before kids climb or pets jump up.
- Photo the rear for future troubleshooting — saves pulling the TV later.
RGB vs calmer LED daytime looks
| Priority | Lean toward | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Evening gaming ambience | RGB LED cabinet | Colour modes for movies and games |
| Clean daytime lounge | White matt LED / subtler glow | Less visual noise when lights are off |
| Mixed household | RGB with an off/white mode | Check modes on the listing |
| Soundbar-first setup | Either — measure depth | Lighting does not replace acoustic placement |
RGB helps ambience; it is not a calibrated professional bias-light kit. If you need cinema-grade bias lighting, treat cabinet LEDs as decorative extras.
Common mistakes and safety
- TV overhang past the cabinet sides or front — keep the stand fully supported.
- No anti-tip kit in family homes.
- Power boards in closed unventilated cavities with high loads.
- Zero HDMI slack so every console swap means moving the TV.
- Blocking LED cable exits with tightly packed rear clutter.
- Ignoring listed top and shelf capacities (for example, open-shelf and drawer limits on the white unit listing).
Dust the top before seating glass or glossy TV feet. Soft cloths only on gloss and matt melamine faces.
FAQ
Can RGB replace bias lighting behind the TV?
It adds ambience but is not a calibrated bias-light product. Use it for mood; rely on correct TV brightness settings for eye comfort.
Will a soundbar fit?
Measure the bar’s width and depth against the cabinet front and any open shelf. Some bars prefer wall mount above or below the screen instead.
How wide a TV can sit on a 160 cm unit?
Follow the listing. The white 160 cm LED unit notes fit guidance up to about 65-inch class and an 80 kg tabletop capacity — confirm for your exact model and TV stand size.
Do I need a wall mount as well?
Cabinet-top placement is fine when capacity and centring are correct. Wall mounting is a separate decision for renters who cannot drill or for very large screens.
Where should the RGB controller live?
Somewhere reachable without sliding the cabinet — a drawer front zone or side gap works better than trapping it behind the TV.
What about gaming consoles and heat?
Give consoles airflow. Avoid burying them under closed doors if they run warm during long sessions.
Can I place the unit in a bedroom?
Yes if walkways and anti-tip needs are met. Keep LED brightness considerate for sleep — use off or dim modes overnight.
How do I hide modem lights?
A small open shelf with a fabric cable tidy can reduce glare without blocking vents — never seal heat sources in airtight boxes.
