Exactly as advertised. I was able to put together the lamp, set it up in the Govee app on my phone, chose the color scheme I wanted, and then connect it to Alexa without any issues. All of which took around 30 minutes. The instructions are straightforward, but when putting it together you must follow the sequence for the light strip exactly as described or you end up with a bulge which will cause you to start that step over. The only real hit is that the lights aren't as bright as I was maybe hoping for, but it is still brighter than other brands I have tried so far.
I like this light for ambient lighting and mood lighting depending on the situation. I don’t recommend this light in a bedroom Because the light doesn’t fully turn off. There’s a very faint glow to it and it doesn’t turn off unless you completely unplug/ cut power to it. In complete darkness it is bright enough to notice.
