 What's up guys, I'm a huge fan of lighting and today I have a very special video. This is the brand new lighting set from Govee, it's called the Govee Glide Wall Light. I'm so excited to try it out. This is actually a tube light that has a rainbow color effect in there. It uses RGB IC, IC standing for independent control. I've reviewed a lot of light strips, light bulbs that all have a single color capability in them, but this one has a multi-color capability as part of its chip set. As you can see from the front of the box, there's seven interchangeable pieces, which I'm going to set up and showcase to you guys how it looks. And then I'm also going to use an app to control the different lighting effects. And one of the key things that I really like about it and one of the standout features is that you can also use voice control to turn on the lights and set some scenes and all kinds of things which I'm going to showcase in this video today. As you can see behind me, I have a TV and I have a couple of floor lamps just on the corners of the walls. I'm going to be setting this up just below the TV on top of my TV stand. I already have some lighting set up there, but I'm missing a piece of lighting underneath the TV between the TV and the light stand. So let me go ahead and turn that on just so you guys can see where there's a gap. Alexa, turn on the open plan lights. There you can see it looks beautiful and I'm a huge lighting fan. Like I mentioned, let's go ahead, open this up, set it up, play around with it and see what it can do. So inside the box, you have six connecting pieces. So with the tube lights, you have double sided Velcro tapes on each one. And each one of them has a pin and a connector for putting each of these on either side. And then you have a rounded corner connector. So if you wanted to have this with three pieces long, go round and then three more pieces down, then you can do that like a nice L shape or you can do it however you like with the combination of the six pieces. If you didn't even want to use this, you can essentially just have all six in one straight line. You also have a power adapter at the time of this video. It's only available in the US, but it will be available in all of the markets. So if you do buy this and use it outside of the US, then you might need to use an adapter. Then you also have a control box as well, which you need to plug the adapter into. There's a quick start guide and a user manual as well just to get up and running. One thing that is really recommended is to just connect it while you're setting it up on the table before you put it up on the wall in its permanent position. Just to make sure everything works because once you do put the tape and connect it to the wall, it might be a little bit more difficult to take it back off. So let me go ahead and put these pieces together just to test out to see if it actually works as I expect. So all you have to do is just slot the pin into the connector. Just need to put a little bit of force with your wrist. You'll hear it click into place. There we go. So I've done four pieces horizontally and then two pieces vertically down. So this is the shape that I will be testing it at. So let me go ahead and connect the end, which also has a connector there. And then you just plug this in. Put this into the wall socket and you're ready to test it out. So let me go ahead and plug it in. OK, now I'm going to go ahead and switch this on so it should light up the entire tube. There we go. Perfect. Now you just need to make sure when you are connecting these, put a little bit of pressure with your wrist when you are connecting them so that there's two connectors that clip into place. Once you've done that with all of them, including the corner piece, you should be ready to go. Now at this stage, I'm now going to set this up just above my TV stand right there at the back. But to take them off, you need to be careful and not to break it. So just be careful when you're just unclipping them at each of the ends. So I'm going to go ahead and do that. And then I'll run through the application and set it up on the wall behind me. So as you guys can see, I've now connected it against the wall just above my TV stand there. I'm going to connect it to my app, but let me go ahead and turn it on. And I will set this up along with you guys for the first time and let's see how easy it is. So let's wait for this to get enabled. There we go. How cool does that look? So the first thing you need to do is get the GoV Home app from the App Store. When you go in here, you have to search for this as it's not currently there in the menu. H6062, Glide Wall Light. Let's select this. And if you don't have an account, you have to just quickly register. So let me go ahead and do that quickly. As you can see, it's picked up there at the top. So you select this, it will connect, give it a name. So I will call it Glide and there you go. It's pretty much there. So now you can use this to set various different scenes. I think there's more than 28 different scenes that you can set it at. I have a lot of Philips Hue lighting in the house as well. And scene modes are one of the key things that I really use on it. The lights that are in the corner of the room and behind the TV is a mode called sunset. It's got very nice, warm ambient atmosphere to it. This is something that you can do with the GoV Glide Wall Light as well. So as you can see here from the app, you've got Effects Lab. Let's go in there and see what's inside. You can choose from basic colors. There's pretty much any colors you want from the RGB scale. You can go to Ingredients. So let's see this cucumber one. There you go. You can choose the different colors of the green in that cucumber. Let's go to bread, tomato. You can see there's pretty much endless possibilities really. You can choose various different things here. Now what I'd like to do is try out the multicolor lights on this as well because I've got a lot of lights that I can change to single colors and they look great. But I want to have this rainbow effect which I think is just so unique. So let me go ahead and find that. So when you scroll down a little bit you'll see there's an option there for gradient. You toggle that on and then you can start selecting different areas on this to be different colors. So I've selected the first couple of tubes to have a bit of green in there. Now if I select the middle two and maybe do that as yellow and then let's say something along the bottom I'll do that as purple. That's kind of the gradient scale that you can create and I think that's just really cool and if you just wanted to save this as a preset then you can also do that as well. So if you go to the bottom and do save color you can do save the entire effects by selecting all the colors and that whole tube click on confirm and that's saved right there at the bottom. So this is a really cool way to play around with the different color options on there. Of course you can also adjust the brightness so right now it's at 100% you can see the slider there bring that down a little bit. It goes very dim and it's a little bit easier on the eyes especially if you're watching TV anywhere near the lights. There's also a timer option so you can set this to be on and off automatically which I think is great. You can also this is something unique as well if I go to music it can actually sink to the music that you have and you can play it from inside here you can play it from the background but right now it's actually picking up my voice as the music is picking up the audio from the room so if the TV was on this would bounce to the video and that's pretty cool. I'm here in this room by myself and it's basically picking up my audio waves so I'm really impressed with that and the response rate of how quickly it picks me up is amazing. Now that is really cool and you can also change the levels of the music sink as well so you see on the app here it's currently energetic you can go to rhythm, strike, it will meet in the middle, oh wow that's pretty cool. First time I'm seeing this vibrate, hopping, hello testing this is the hopping audio and I really like all of the different colors that just pop up and the last one bounce. So this one is bouncing from one side while the other one is coming in. If I continuously speak then it will obviously fill up the entire bar if you have something playing on the TV then obviously that is something cool as well. So many really good things on this app it's just amazing like how it works straight out of the box I had no problems it was one of the easiest light setups I've had. I've been around the Philips Hue lightings in the past and it's been very tricky. Now if you go to the scene tab there's plenty of different scenes that you can play around with this is the one I was mentioning I think there's around 28 of them and whatever type of ambient type of lighting you need you probably find it in here so right now it's currently on ocean blue if I go to forest it's a nice little green you've got a gradient of all of the different tree colors. Sunset glow this is one of my favorite ones it's got a nice orange red ambient kind of warm colors to it rainbow obviously this is the one that everyone would probably try to play around with in the beginning because you want to get as many colors as possible into these tubes and let's go through some of these meteor that's quite interesting one so you've got a little meteor shower there Aurora Borealis so the northern lights that looks pretty cool you can cycle through loads of these there's life there's emotion festival there's funny ones so pretty much endless possibilities you can even create your own there's a DIY tab here if you wanted to automatically change the lighting according to your own custom effect settings then you can also do that and create the shortcuts in here so I'm super impressed with this let's go ahead turn off the lights and see the full capabilities of how this looks when all the lights are off one other thing I wanted to mention as well to you guys if you don't have your phone with you you can also control this via voice control so I've just binded it with the Amazon Alexa app as well so now I can turn it on and off using my voice Alexa turn off the glide light there you go you can turn it on and off and change the brightness levels if you wanted to change the scene or any of the settings or go into music mode you have to do that via the app but this is exactly the same as any of the other smart lighting that I have in the house and it was very easy to do just click on the Amazon Alexa settings in the Govee home app and it works out of the box Alexa turn on the glide light to 100% there you go super bright super responsive and I'm very impressed with this now this comes in at just under $100 which I think is an absolute bargain for this type of capability the amount of money I've spent on these very basic Philips Hue lights like the light strips they're way more expensive than this and have less functionality so I'm quite amazed at what this can do for that price point even better I've got a discount code for you guys if you just wanted to get this even more cheaper so go ahead and check out the discount code and link in the description below if you like this review if you like these lights make sure you give this video a huge thumbs up I'm a huge fan of lighting and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have a lot of cool lighting videos in the near future plus I have new videos out every week for all things tech make sure you subscribe so you don't miss those ones and I will catch you guys next time take care
