What I did not like concerning the Govee Desk Lamp 2 Professional

Excessive value and technical consideration

One clear draw back is marketed up entrance: you need to connect with a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi community so as to achieve full performance. You’ll have restricted choices when on a 5 GHz community; there are additionally handbook buttons on the unit for pairing and energy, however these do not enable your complete vary of choices out there to you.

The price could positively be a deterrent for some. A excessive price ticket means it is positively an funding, though it is price remembering you are placing cash in direction of a high quality lamp and a high quality Bluetooth speaker. There are some limitations to the latter; it does not have the compact dimension or portability that comes with Bluetooth audio system, and it should not go exterior as it isn’t designed to resist the weather.

I will additionally grant that, for some, all of the choices might be too overwhelming. To totally get pleasure from every little thing the lamp gives, some effort and time ought to go into testing all the assorted mixtures it comes with. You will be controlling it principally through your telephone or voice, which I believe some shoppers will not wish to do. And generally it would simply be simpler to go away it in a selected setting as an alternative of going by way of different choices. What makes it enjoyable may at occasions really feel like work; too many selections might be an excessive amount of time spent with the lamp. You’ll be able to create your individual sample of colours, and whereas that could be an thrilling possibility for some, that is an instance of an additional characteristic that I simply do not discover that compelling.

I would recommend studying about it upon buy and investing time establishing computerized timers and most well-liked settings for fast entry.
