Before Christmas: Amazon offers Govee light strips and more cheaper

In a good 11 days Santa Claus will be at the door, then it will be Christmas Eve and the Christmas tree will shine in the room. In order to ensure the right Christmas mood, there are also individually controllable light strips, which are now available from various manufacturers. The Canadian start-up Nanoleaf originally started the trend, and since 2017 Govee from Hong Kong has also been offering flexible wall panels, albeit at a lower price. Shortly before Christmas there is now a campaign on Amazon that gives you 30 percent cheaper access to many Govee products. If you want to save, however, you have to hurry, because the voucher code can only be redeemed until December 18th at 11:59 p.m.

Objects can be individually illuminated with the at least five meter long LED light strips. There are no limits for your creativity. 60 LEDs are available per meter, each of which can light up in its own segment. In the large Govee test by the PCGH guide, numerous products, such as the Glide Wall Light, were able to convince with their luminosity. In addition to the option of controlling it via remote control, you can also control the LED strip via the Govee Home smartphone app and via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. With the Govee LED Strip, an IC chip ensures that several colors can be displayed on one light strip at the same time.

In addition to light strips, Govee also offers wall panels, TV backlighting, fairy lights and smart lamps. The portable table lamp competes with the Philips Hue table lamp, for example. Compared to the Signify brand’s bedside lamp, the Govee interpretation has an on/off switch on the back. In addition, the lamp from Hong Kong does not need a bridge, but has a built-in Wi-Fi module and thus offers a more stable connection to the smartphone and to Alexa devices, such as an Amazon Echo. For a limited time, Amazon is offering the Govee Wi-Fi LED table lamp at a 15 percent discount.

At a height of 1.45 m, the lyre shines in different colours, which can also be matched to the music if desired. In order to be able to offer the background color for the Christmas spirit, a microphone is built into the base, which can analyze the music being played, if you want. Govee announced a cooperation with Razer this year. Govee products can now also be controlled with Razer Chroma RGB.

In the future, other Govee products will be enabled to be integrated into the Razer ecosystem. How to light up the gaming room together with Razer products and Govee lights:

• First, the Govee lights must be added to the free Govee Home App smartphone app. In addition, the lights must be connected to the WLAN, although the app only supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and not 5 GHz.
• The PC must be in the same WiFi network as the Govee lights.
• Now start the program Razer Synapse 3 and the Govee Desktop App.
• When you have found the lamp to be controlled, it should remain switched on. The last step is to open Razer Chroma Control and from now on you can control this Govee light with the Razer program.

On the contrary, at Nanoleaf, there will be no updates to existing products as of this writing. As a result, previously purchased smart home products from Nanoleaf become electronic waste, at least if you want to rely on the cross-manufacturer smart home standard Matter. The Canadians only guarantee compatibility with new Nanoleaf products.
