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

Excessive price and technical consideration

One clear draw back is marketed up entrance: you need to connect with a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi community to be able to acquire 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 permit all the vary of choices accessible to you.

The fee might undoubtedly be a deterrent for some. A excessive price ticket means it is undoubtedly 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 would not have the compact measurement or portability that comes with Bluetooth audio system, and it should not go outdoors as it is not designed to face up to the weather.

I am going to additionally grant that, for some, all of the choices will be too overwhelming. To completely take pleasure in all the pieces the lamp provides, some effort and time ought to go into trying out all the varied combos it comes with. You will be controlling it principally by way of your cellphone or voice, which I feel some shoppers will not need 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 also can at instances really feel like work; too many decisions will be an excessive amount of time spent with the lamp. You may create your individual sample of colours, and whereas that could be an thrilling possibility for some, that is an instance of an additional function that I simply do not discover that compelling.

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