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 as a way to achieve full performance. You should 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 the whole vary of choices accessible to you.

The associated fee 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 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 dimension or portability that comes with Bluetooth audio system, and it should not go exterior as it isn’t designed to face up to 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 will be controlling it largely through your cellphone or voice, which I believe some shoppers will not wish to do. And generally it’d simply be simpler to depart it in a specific setting as an alternative of going by different choices. What makes it enjoyable may also at occasions really feel like work; too many selections might be an excessive amount of time spent with the lamp. You possibly can 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 recommend studying about it upon buy and investing time organising automated timers and most well-liked settings for fast entry.
