 what's up guys this is the brand new govi lights they're the govi flow plus light bars i'm super excited to try this out this is essentially the successor to the govi flow pro lights now this one doesn't have a camera that needs to face your tv to light it up it's without a camera it's brand new let's go ahead and unpack this see how it looks see how it performs how to set it up i'm going to connect it to my laptop and also to my tv to showcase how it looks let's go ahead and look at some of the key specifications before we begin and let's get straight into it now these are rgb ic color lights which basically allow you to have independent control of the light bars essentially what that means is you can have a rainbow effect along one light strip inside the bars which is awesome this also operates between 2200 and 6500 kelvins on the tungsten scale 16 million rgb colors and it works with voice control on both alexa and google now this goes up to 400 lumens of brightness and it has a 25 000 hour lifetime of its led lights some of the highlights you can see on the side of the box and i will be showcasing some of these as well so let's go ahead and see what's inside right so there's quite a few accessories that are in the box these are the lights themselves you can see they're pretty compact but they will light up to be very bright these are connected to a single usb-c cable which goes into a control box and before i get into that other accessories include the power adapter two stands for the lights and then you have two clips that allow you to use the 3m stickers on the back to basically horizontally or vertically connect this to the back of your monitor or your tv this is the control unit here so if i can just showcase you guys the buttons on there you have the power button you also have the color button there then this is the music and the dimmer button the bottom button allows you to turn on the music mode which actually picks up the audio in the room and it displays that onto the light bars in different effects and you can cycle through those effects by pressing this button as well you can also cycle through single colors by pressing the middle button and i'll showcase that all you have to do is simply connect the ac adapter into this control unit plug that in and then you also have the usb port on the side of the control unit and you plug that in there if you want it to mount this control unit there's also a 3m sticker at the back of this as well so you can put this onto your tv your desk your monitor wherever it is convenient let me go ahead and plug this but before i do that i'm going to just connect these to the stands now there's a few ways you can mount this i've got it standing up in these vertical mounts here you can also have them sideways if you'd like without these mounts and then you can also stick them to the back of your monitors using the little mount here that clips up to the back of this like so and then you use the sticker and you can mount it vertically or horizontally so i'll take this off from now and i'll just showcase to you guys how to use this so i've got them both connected to the control box there's a blue light indicating that it's now powered so you can actually use this without the app but i will showcase this in a second to get the full capabilities of what you can achieve with the app as well but let's just go ahead and press the power button you can see it turned on now i've got kind of a pink ambient yellow color glow on this if i just change to the single color do it now red if i cycle through you'll see that will change color green blue and you can just keep pressing on the control box and you actually don't really need to have the app if you wanted to get up and running straight away so it works out of the box and it's so easy to use i can go ahead and use the music button to turn on the voice commands and now every time i speak you'll see that it sparks up i can change the effect so now it's on sort of a rainbow color every time i'm speaking this transitions through all of the different rgb scale colors on the actual light bars which i think is pretty cool so when i do connect this to the tv i will set it to music mode so it bounces to the audio that's being received by the tv let me go back change it to the single color and what i'm going to do is now connect this using the app so if you download gov home app you need to remember the model number which is going to be very quick and easy for you to search so i've already connected this but all you need to do is go into the plus on the top right and search for the model number which is h six zero five six and you'll see gov flow plus light bar if you don't see it just go and update the app to the latest version and you should see it in the list so i have it connected let's go and connect it here there we go it's connected so you can see there's a few options here you've got the effects lab the timer the brightness and the different modes these are the key things that you will be able to do with the light bars let's start with effects lab if you go into that you can see there's a whole bunch of different categories that you can try to find the right colors to match whichever mood you know if you're looking for maybe let's say some flowers and you want to put this in your bedroom then you can search for the flowers to match whatever flowers you might have in your room so let's find a nice blue you click on that you'll see it automatically changes so this is very you know fun to play with if you go to ingredients you know you have different types of foods and you can try to find a color that matches that so you know if you wanted to get like a nice orange color you can search for pumpkin and then tap that and then you'll see it change that color so that is the effects lab you also have the option for a timer so let's go into timer here you know throughout the day you can set specific times for it to do different types of color schemes and different color settings which i think is pretty great this is also great if you want it to light up when you wake up in the mornings the different modes as i mentioned if i select music this one you can cycle through different options so right now it's using the sync from my phone microphone if i switch over it's now syncing from the devices microphone which is internal to the flow light bars so i think that's really great and then you have different options of the sync so you've got energetic you got rhythm strike and you have vibrate you can change the sensitivity level and you can select if you want it to be auto color or not if you choose from your phone you can also switch between party dynamic and calm modes so lots of options there the next mode color this is obviously the standard one which you can go and play around with different types of color options you want to set on this but what i like about this is that you can see the individual light bars there you also have the options to change the colors of the different segments in a single light bar so at the moment you can see i've got them set to 56 percent now if i click on recommended color schemes just above that in here you can set the style so there's different categories so you need to go from modern science fiction refreshing whatever it may be you know i'll go back to gorgeous i'll select maybe a nice red and then hit the configuring color scheme button there at the bottom and that will change accordingly if you wanted to go to the next group there's a next group button just on the bottom there which actually cycles through the different color schemes if you wanted to find one that just really fits the type of purpose you're looking for now you'll notice that only this one is changing colors but it's because i've only selected one light bar so that's really great you can independently control the different types of color schemes for each light bars if you select both at the same time and then go into the color schemes this would actually align both of them to be exactly the same and pretty much the possibilities are endless the next mode is scene so this is actually one of my favorites you know this cycles through various different ambient immersive scene experiences through these categories you know if you choose candlelight maybe you've got this near your dining table you're having some dinner this really you know brings a very nice ambience to the room you can change it to romantic mode which cycles through this nice purple pink red type of coloring you've got aurora for like the northern lights DIY this gives you the option to set this up by creating your own set of colors to match whatever ambience you're trying to create in your room so plenty of different options and the one thing i really like about this is that it automatically as soon as i created this and connected it to the bluetooth for the first time assigned it to my amazon alexa app and now it's already by default in the app so i can use my voice commands to turn this on and off so let me put my phone down and i'll showcase to you guys turn off the flow plus lights quick and easy turn on the flow plus lights now i didn't need to do any other setup in the alexa app separately it was all done directly from the gov app which i think is great so there's so many things you can do with this you can use the control box you can use the app you can use voice commands i'm so excited to this let's go ahead connect it to my laptop and also my tv and see how it performs so as you guys saw it was very easy to set up with my tv and also on my desk behind my macbook pro and it just really pops the room and it also pops your viewing experience it really immerses you into whatever you're watching so if it's any videos films tv shows i'm pretty sure once you set this up you're not going to be able to watch anything without some lighting in the background these are real good competitors there's something like the philip's few lights which are very expensive in terms of pricing check out the
