Govee RGBIC TV Light Bars, WiFi TV Backlight with Double Lighting Beads

Having previously purchased the original Govee RGBW light bars a while ago, I always felt they were a bit small for a 65 inch TV. Those original Govee light bars (H6056) are about 27cm high from the base when used vertically behind a TV, and I place them on transparent perspex stands. Our OLED TV is a bit fragile to want to stick these on the rear, so having them positioned freestanding on acrylic stands makes it easier to experiment with their positioning. These ones (H6046) are about 43cm high when mounted in their bases and provide a much brighter and more even illumination behind our 65 inch TV. I usually use them set to well below 100% brightness which should also keep them running cooler and prolong their lifespan. These are really simple to set up. There's a traditional wall wart type power supply which plugs into a small control unit and then the lights (which are joined on the same cable) also plug into the control unit. After you've installed the Govee app on your phone or tablet, simply press the pairing button on the control unit and within less than a minute you can get them set up in the app. Whilst the app itself is very versatile in terms of being able to control each light independently, including setting the colours and relative brightness of each segment and saving your own 'scenes', I do find it a little non-intuitive in places. You can set both light bars to either white (continuous choice from cool to warm white) or RGB mode, but not a mixture. They are extremely bright in white mode at 100% brightness and will easily light up a room. In RGB mode you are able to either set all segments of the bar to a single colour, or indeed choose individual colours for each segment. You can also have different combinations of colour and brightness for the left and right bar. Once you've configured your favourite selection of colours and levels, you can save this as a scene. The app also includes many built-in preset scenes, as well as some lighting effects that change colours automatically. There's even a sound operated mode that will use the built-in microphone of the control unit or your phone to change the light patterns on the beat. It's also easy to control these from your favourite smart speakers. After installing the Govee skill on my alexa app, I was able to fully control the brightness, choice of solid colours and switch them on and off from my smart speakers. The lights will remember the last setting, so you can set a colour scene in the Govee app with mullti-colours and then just turn them off and on, or set the brightness, with an Alexa command. Overall these are the perfect mood light for a larger screen TV and I would thoroughly recommend them.

Fantastic - love the music mode. Can control via Alexa and also Apple watch too.

They’re very lightweight and plastic feeling but still look really nice. I bought them on a deal, I think there was 40% off so took a gamble and I love them. The colours are lovely, so many different colours on the spectrum to choose from with so many different settings. They’re connected to my echo show so I can control them by voice and have added them to a routine called ‘study time’ where it turns my computer and lights on. I have them on my desk to help light up the desk area while I’m studying and they give off a lovely calm ambiance. Will definitely by more when they go on sale again. I hope my review has helped someone out there.

I've had several Govee Light Bars including the previous iterations and all have been great and this white version is an excellent improvement on what came before. They're thinner but due to the added height the vibrant colours noticeably spread much more in the areas you place them. The app is really user friendly and easy to customise any patterns/themes you have going on in your space.

We got these for desk/console set up, kids love to change the colour themes via the app which is so easy to use. We have three Govee light products within the home and highly recommend. Great value for money too.

Great lights although the pads are not strong enough to hold them to the back of the TV. Shame.

Lights themselves are so good when paired with the TV only downside is the stand feels and looks so cheap other than that the rest is good quality.

I love govee products and have purchased a number of them over the years. They are always great value over Phillips hue etc whilst offering a great range of features fir the connected home. Rather than the usual adhesive strip lights the light columns in this kit are easy to install at the back of your tv with the supplied adhesive brackets or either side with the supplied tower bases. A great selection of lighting modes bring atmosphere and ambience to your room and viewing
