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

Excessive price and technical consideration

You should have restricted choices when on a 5 GHz community; there are additionally guide buttons on the unit for pairing and energy, however these do not permit your complete vary of choices out there to you.

The associated fee might 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 would not have the compact dimension or portability that comes with Bluetooth audio system, and it should not go exterior as it is not designed to face up to the weather.

I will additionally grant that, for some, all of the choices may be too overwhelming.

You will be controlling it principally through your cellphone or voice, which I feel some customers will not wish to do. And typically it’d simply be simpler to depart it in a selected setting as a substitute of going by different choices. What makes it enjoyable may at instances really feel like work; too many decisions may 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 function that I simply do not discover that compelling.

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