I have enjoyed Govee products in the past. These are decent. I don't like that I can see the leds shine through the bottom when I turn the down light off. I think I can get them to do what I want using Home Assistant. The app needs some work.
When I saw this light I knew it would be great in the hall, I haven't tinkered with it much yet so maybe it can but I wish the upward light could be on without our the main down facing light.
The light is pretty good, but when you compare it to the larger model it leaves a lot to be desired. The app control isn't as fine tuned, it's harder to control the top ring vs the downfacing light. And the patterns aren't nearly as detailed.
Just keep in mind it's not the same light just smaller, it's also way less capable, and can't be controlled in a group along with the larger lights.
I love the simplicity and control. It looks so simple at a glances and my guss are suprises as after a few drinks i turn on the clube lights and the party begins.
