Review on ๐Ÿ  Govee Smart Dimmable Assistant: A Decorative Equivalent by Vickie Kraus

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Easy to set up for a non-technical person!

These bulbs are pretty neat. I was a little nervous about ordering these after reading some negative reviews. The lights arrived today, downloaded the app, followed the instructions in the app, 10 minutes later my lights were registered and working with the Govee app and Alexa. I bought these to play around with different colors and brightness levels and was not disappointed. One month update: I still like the bulbs, but the color choices are pretty minimal. Govey claims the lamps can display 4.3 million colors or something like that. The app's color wheel can represent 4.3 million colors, but the lightbulbs themselves definitely can't. You can make maybe 20 colors. I would really like a dark red color, but the onions can only be pink. Try to choose blue and you will end up with purple. Choose Orange and you will get Yellow. Choose yellow and you get lime green. Choose green and you get teal. Small changes to the wheel don't seem to make a difference. In fact, LEDs themselves are simply not capable of rendering all colors. Still happy with the bulbs but they cost half the price of Phillips bulbs for some reason.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
