Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Govee Glide RGBIC Smart Wall Light Bar for Gaming and Streaming - Music Sync Home Decor LED Light with 40+ Dynamic Scenes - Multicolor Customizable - Works with Alexa and Google Assistant - 6 Pcs + 1 Corner by Kip Ruach

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great results but some limitations

Bought TWO sets of these lights. It was the perfect amount to bypass one of my acoustic processing panels in my home studio. I really like her. They're bright, vibrant, and the app is pretty easy to use with lots of great customization options. I give it 5 stars but there are some limitations of the system that you should be aware of: - You cannot link more sections together than are included. I tried using only one power supply/controller with more than 7 links included in the kit. It only illuminated a section of the 8th module. This is what is shown in my picture with the lights on the floor. The angle adapter can only be used in one position. If you follow the signal from the power cable at the traffic light, you can only turn right. Of course you can rotate it 180 degrees and go the other way, this will determine where you run the power cord. I succeeded since I have an acoustic panel to hide the wire. As far as I know, you cannot change the scenes of multiple systems at the same time. You need to connect to them one by one and change the scene/color. It's not a problem for me, but the process is slowing down. The Google Assistant integration MAY NOT be as good as the Alexa integration. I've seen videos on YouTube of people using Alexa to change SCENES to lightbars. I can use my Google Home systems to set the light bars to a static color, but I can't figure out how to tell it to set a scene where the colors are dynamic. Possibly, but I haven't figured it out yet. If I can figure this out, I can create Google Home routines to set the scene on both my Govee light strips and my Phillips Hue lights at the same time. Right now I'm just leaving the same scene because it's troublesome to switch everything in the room.

Pros
  • Glide Sconce Shape Customization: Connect 7 interchangeable Glide sconce segments in any order to create a sconce shape that suits your style. And if you have more than one Glide set, group them together in the Govee Home app.
Cons
  • Low maintainability
