A lot of possibilities but the app doesn't allow to do much

I bougt this just for the white leds in the upper ring, i had a couple of 12" and those disappointed me as the rgb ring can't be turned on with the ww center light, neither this one, you're stock with ww_cw light or color light there's no possibility to mix them
Besides the lack of options to configure its a great product, after power shortage in the middle of the night they don't turn on unless you want to.
I've been using the Govee 12 inch ceiling light (little brother to the 15 inch pro) for some time now and when this came out I jumped on it right away. I can say right off the bat, this is a very polished product. The brightness and quality of the colors is very noticeable. I used to get the slight buzzing noise from the unit when certain scenes were configured. I don't get that buzzing noise from the 15 inch Pro model. Very happy and will buy more for other rooms.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A bit disappointed

What I was looking for was bright white light from the bottom (the illumination mode) and being able to do a color-right at the top (color mode). You can control the sections individually with regards to power (one can be on while the other is off) but they always share the same mode. You're either in color mode, which gets you light out of the bottom which isn't so bright, or lumination mode, which is white light which is bright.
I don't understand why you can't control the sections individually to have color + illumination.

Unpractical features.

How does the light not have adaptive lighting built in? Also sunrise and sunset simulations would be a no brainer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I sent this light back because it was absolutely terrible compare to lifx ceiling light. Not only was the lifx brighter and better color saturation its also way cheaper very disappointed in these light. It was so bad I took a video of the lifx ceiling light and govee ceiling which has almost identical form factor and it clear which one is much better. It wasn't even close
If you don’t have the goove app, you’ll have limited access and won’t have cool features. I don’t want to download another app just to have full compatibility and control over my light when I could just use Apple Home.
