I hate buying products off Amazon with funny brand names because you never know what you will get until it arrives and you open the box. With that said, I am impressed with this product as it seems as good as the Govee stuff and at only 1/3rd of the price. It was in fact easier to assemble than the Govee counterpart and seems to go brighter.
It comes with a switch button that you can put somewhere, and DOES come with a remote control though it is somewhat buried in the packaging, the seller will send you an email clarifying this when you order. You must install an app on your phone to change the colours. There is some additional port on the switch that I believe lets you plug in a smart home controller if you want one of those wall switch setups. Note that you cannot do this with the Govee – at least not the one I have.
I chose this device because it supports Tuya/Smart Life and I wanted everything to be controllable through HomeKit. No more opening this app for this device, and that app for that device. This process was a bit arduous due to the friction involved in setting up HomeBridge with Tuya (Smart Life). This is not a criticism of the product itself more the IoT Control Platform that it subscribes to.
So to summarise:
* This is a high quality product at a low price,
* If you’re looking for a simple on/off setup this will be more than fine for that
* If you’re looking to integrate it with a controller that looks to be fine
* If you’re looking to integrate it with Google/Apple/etc ecosystem this is possible but requires patience and reading various documentation
* I have not tried this with Alexa but it says on the box it supports it, I would defer to the Tuya/Alexa documentation for tha
My Son has these lights next to his gaming setup and it looks really good when it’s on. The effects are great and has many different colour modes. There’s a setting for pretty much any occasion and make a really nice bit of ambient lighting.
Highly recommended if you are after something like it.
The lights themselves are great – although the microphone seems to pick up sounds whenever it feels like it so could be better. The connecting app seems to lack a basic feature that I would have expected of static split colours on a single bar (rather than rolling/moving multi colours) and no way to customise these either apart from a single colour at a time. Overall they are great lights but the app lets it down a little.
very good item, lots of light and great for creating good ambiance lighting.
These are well made compact vertical mood lights, that are comparable in height to a table lamp, but being a pillar design take up less room.
This means you can place them in a variety of locations, as well as that suggested by the product images, next to a tv or pc.
A little assembly is required, but it is very straight forward. Screw the main body of the light onto a weighted base. Honestly less than I was expecting, based on similar products.
Power and control is via a USB C socket, with a plug and lead running back to a joint control unit, from which an identical twin lead runs to power the second light. This is also the power lead that ends in USB A plug.
So as is often the case – you’ll need a free socket for that.
There are basic controls on the box, on/off, mode, and music.
Music works with sounds, so the lights flash reacting to the intensity of the noise, no sound, no light.
The limiting factor on placement is then two fold, the length of the USB C twin cables to the lights, and then the length of the USB A Power cable.
The lights further can be controlled by either a thin remote, which comes with a cell battery included, and is a familiar format, or by an app.
I found the bluetooth app was okay, but you are limited by bluetooth range.
I think at the current price of 29.99 these are a fun thing, when they are inert they look a little plastic, but once lit, they add colour and are fun.
I chose these light bars for our grandsons gaming area and he is very pleased with how they perform.
I’ve added some photos and a video clip which my 10 year-old grandson took himself after setting the whole thing up by himself from without any input from me, he chose to use the app to control the lights.
The set up was achieved in around 10 mins and it is very simple to use.
You can control the lights 3 different ways, via an in line switch, remote control or via an app, all very easy to do.
These do run from the mains or if available can be run from a power bank, so they can be very portable if you are having a BBQ etc and some music in the summer with no mains electric available.
You can set these to music, auto, change the brightness, there are loads of things to play around with to get different effects.
As for the quality, it sort of looked a bit cheap and cheerful in the box but on closer examination it is really very good, the back of the light is made from what seems to be aluminium which gives it a good amount of durability and strength.
The bases are very light so you may find it a little top heavy but you simply use the double sided adhesive pads provided to keep them in place I don’t really think there is a better solution for this other than having 2 extremely heavy bases which is not practical.
Overall we are very pleased with them, they look great in his gaming area and very good value in my opinion.
These light bars arrived well packaged.
What’s in the box?
2 X Light Bars.
2 X Light stands.
1 X USB Light controller.
1 X USB to DC cable.
4 X 3m sticky pads.
1 X Remote Control.
1 X User manual.
You don’t get any power adapter in the package, so you will have to supply your own USB plug for these to work. This was not really a problem, because I had loads of plugs lying around.
They made the back of these light bars from aluminium, which was nice to see, because most of these light bars are made from plastic, so these light bars have a premium feel compared to the rest of their competitors.
I was wondering if these lights would run off a power bank, and to my surprise they did & worked flawlessly!
The remote is great and works at a good distance, there are lots of modes and 3 music settings, and an auto mode, along with controlling the brightness levels and timer functions, etc.
They also have an app & it’s called magic lantern, and it’s well worth downloading, as it opens up the lights to even more capabilities.
These light bars represent great value for money, and in my opinion, they are worth every penny of the asking price.
This set of light bars are really nice to go either side or a monitor or TV or in my case my daughter just uses them to have a mini disco in her room.
I like the simple bar with a screw fit stand that goes in the bottom and it has the modern and universal USB-C port near the bottom of each bar so that makes plugging the cable in very easy.
The cable powers both bars as it splits in two and then it has a little control box with buttons for on/off, mode and music. so that’s the first way you can control the bars.
The next way is via the remote control which has loads more options and you can change speeds etc while the last way is via the app, it’s a shame the app is bluetooth only and not wifi as well so you do have to be in range to change them but for most uses this should be fine. Its a little clunky and I would have preferred it to use one of the more universal apps like smartlife but it does the job ok.
Overall, for 29.99 they are nicely made, lightweight so portable and can be powered from a powerbank if needed so I do think they are value for money.
Bought these for my son for Xmas for his pc set up. I was a little unsure as I thought they were a little expensive for what they were, however my son is very impressed!
These have alot of different light combinations, easy to use and look very smart when he is gaming. So i suppose a happy son makes a happy mum.
I have added this item to my starlight projector to create a really nice ambience in my living room. These are all low energy pieces of equipment, which is important during the current energy crisis. I would highly recommend these lightbars.
These led bars are amazing and a lot better than I expected after reading some reviews. They are very bright when set on full brightness and work perfectly with sound reactions when watching a movie. I don’t use the remote as there are little options on it but the app is so much better and the functions lists are endless! I love these light bars that much that I have just ordered another 2 sets to go with my gaming PC and in my bedroom for my PS5!
I honestly thought that the quality would be 50/50 due to the low price but this product is without fault. The brightness is spot on, there are probably too many settings to choose from which isn’t a negative. The response from the music setting is near enough perfect and the simple USB connection makes it a very easy product to use. I have recently used them whilst hosting a Halloween party and no other lights were needed!
Exactly as described, easy to build and great light .completed my set up nicely.
Great for streams or even lighting realllly bright turn them down to a lot of diffrent combos line these DEFINITELY CHEAP AND WORTH it these would cost atleast 40 pound for how good they are I love these thing
I bought two packs of these for different bedrooms and the kids love them and to be fair there actually very good for the price
Excellent RGB lights at a good price with a simple to use remote control.
Not yet tried the app that can be used for more granular control but they are easy to assemble with a heavy base for stability and a doddle to use.
Have brightened up my home work/leisure desk!
I just brought these so it gives my pc set up more of a comfortable setting.
These were easy to use and set up, have so many modes and different colours and easy to control on your phone!
The only downside is I wish they were a little more brighter. But apart from that they’re perfect!
