1. An electronic device comprising at least one processor configured to:
determine a delay variation parameter representing a variation in delay between a fragment of audio and/or visual content being rendered and a light effect synchronized to said fragment starting to be rendered,
determine whether said delay variation parameter exceeds a user-selected-certain threshold;
automatically select one or more light effects, from a reduced set of light effects which are less sensitive to delay variation based on said user-selected certain threshold, to be rendered simultaneously with an audio and/or visual content item when said delay variation parameter exceeds said user-selected certain threshold, and to select said one or more light effects further based on a genre of said audio and/or visual content item, and
cause one or more light sources to render said selected one or more light effects simultaneously with said content item.
