Aug 14, 2023

These lights are set to dazzle

If you're a fan of funky lighting, you are probably already well acquainted with Govee's huge range of products. From wall panels, LED strips, smart bulbs and more they specialize in immersive lighting for your gaming setup that all sync seamlessly with other smart home devices like Alexa and Google Home. We've reviewed the Govee Hexagon Pro lights before at Windows Central and were impressed with how easy to set up. Not only that, but how impactful they were once installed — well now we may be about to get more dazzled, as Govee has announced it's launching an Ultra version of these lights, and you'll be able to buy them from September 25 in the US.

Govee Glide Hexagon Light Panels Ultra It's most ambitious lighting product yet, these Govee light panels use a new 3D surface and line design to light up your gaming area in a more dynamic way. They will be available to order directly from Govee on September 25, and will also be sold through Amazon.Buy at: Govee | Amazon (coming soon)

You might be wondering why these lights are so expensive, compared to Govee’s other products. Govee is known for being a more affordable alternative to its main competitors, such as Nanoleaf, but these lights have some unique features that justify the $349.99 price tag. For starters, they have 129 LED beads in each panel, which is three times more than the previous versions, making them ultra vivid (hence the name).Govee also claims that this is the first product in the industry that combines line and surface illumination methods, creating a stunning 3D effect that adds depth and dynamism to your gaming setup. These lights would be perfect for streamers who want to impress their viewers with their eye-catching workspace. Besides these selling points, the lights also offer:

Setting up the Govee panels is very simple and they work well with your existing smart home products. However, you do need a flat and clean surface to install them, such as a standard wall, glass, or wood. In our review, the previous panels didn't take well to wallpaper but Govee does advise against this. The kit comes with 10 panels, but you can combine up to 21 of them in one design if you really want to go wild with your lighting. The lights will be unveiled officially at the 2023 League Championship Series which takes place on August 19, no doubt because of their appeal to gamers, and we hope to see more images of them in action. So far, we think these lights look great, and look forward to seeing what designs people come up with when they hit retail on September 25. We bet they'll look great with those crazy curtain lights Govee just launched too.
