What I did not like in regards to the Govee Desk Lamp 2 Professional

Excessive price and technical consideration

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 the complete vary of choices accessible to you.

The fee could positively be a deterrent for some. A excessive price ticket means it is positively an funding, though it is value remembering you are placing cash in the direction of a top quality lamp and a top 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 completely take pleasure in every little thing the lamp provides, some effort and time ought to go into trying out all the varied mixtures it comes with. You may be controlling it largely by way of your telephone or voice, which I feel some customers will not need to do. And generally it’d simply be simpler to depart it in a specific setting as a substitute of going by different choices. What makes it enjoyable may at instances really feel like work; too many decisions might be an excessive amount of time spent with the lamp. You’ll be able to create your personal sample of colours, and whereas which may be an thrilling possibility for some, that is an instance of an additional characteristic that I simply do not discover that compelling.

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