Although I'm not interested in strip lights ( I just don't strip as much these days ), your presentation was very professional as always. Great job, Brian!
Brian. I loved the Govee Strip Light comparison video, as well as your other Home Automation videos. As a long-term Govee Beta-tester and product user, I truly appreciate the work you do to help inform the community. My only comment is that your voice was in mono and sounded far away during the installation segment of your video. I'd like to suggest you consider a stereo wireless microphone setup so that your audio quality is consistent throughout the video for the future. Thank you.
Thanks so much! You and my team said the same thing. 🤣 Little insight for ya: I always do things first, improve later. Right now I'm still getting the feel for these videos and will improve as we go! I have a mic that works and will get it in there eventually ;)
That'll be interesting to hear about! I'd love to hear how it goes. You might need a couple just to give enough light for the whole room, but I bet it's really nice
Great video! I’m still torn between the two for above and below kitchen cabinets and drawers. Specifically I want a warm 2700k light. Which of the two would you recommend to better reproduce that warm light without going reddish? I made the mistake of mounting the neon rope light 2 under my kitchen drawers and the colors are nice but it simply can’t reproduce that warm light I want. Thanks for the help in advance!
I am thinking of getting the govee strip light 2 pro to fit wrap around the edges of my celling wall. I would like to know if several of the light strips can be connected together as one?
With the pro light strip 2, or either really, can you " sync " 2 strips together to run effects across both and have it look like 1 effect? Like if you took 2 of the light strips ( either length ) and ran one right to left, and then the other left to right ( basically having them come together at the end to get them as close as possible ) can you use the Govee app to " sync " it to make it appear to run the effects across both strips as if it were 1 BIG strip? I hope I'm explaining myself right/clearly so you get what I'm saying. Like say a red/white Christmas effect, could I get that to run across 2 strips and have it look like it's all running left to right, across all 64 feet of the strips?
Some were from our tests, others from an independent lab test done. Depends on the exact data you're talking about. I confirmed all numbers as being relatively accurate (as in I got similar values...we measure in a different environment and in a different way so it doesn't come out the same). I never provide results without testing.
Nice! I'm not a huge light strip fan, but I've been considering installing some across the top of my cabinets (like you) and on top of my entertainment system... but I'm still not 100% sure I'm ready 😊
I just temporarily put them there. The cables are something that I have to deal with better if I'm going to install permanently. I think that takes a proper electrical plug in the cabinets and drilling through. That's another day!
is the strip light 2 pro extendable? they don't mention it on the govee website itself (or I must've missed it) and this would be a dealbreaker for me. I need 2 light strips, 2 just under 2 meters and 1 just over 2 meters so If I could take the cut-off segments from the other 2 to extend the last one to just over 2 meter it would save me a good amount of money
@@stijnrousch4319 up to 10m :) Cut points for extension are less common than cut points just for shortening, so just understand it might be a foot before you get an extension point
Thank you, Brian, for another informative tutorial. The new Govee LED strips seem to be excessively expensive. However, considering the technology behind the strips, the cost may be justified for some. Sidebar: Your new residence is beautiful. Kind regards, T. Phoenix, AZ USA
@AutomateYourLife i appreciate the reply and overall review, but I only say the length (3m/5m). I need to know the width and depth of the strip to find out if it will fit in my existing cutouts on my custom shelf. Would you mind measuring it when you get a chance? It's not listed on their site either.
Excellent video! You have stepped up your game, or I just wasn't paying attention! Regardless, no offense intended, I appreciate all you do for your viewers.
Good to see they’re actually trying to produce light with accurate colors. My rgbic Backlight 3 Lite and light bars have laughable color reproduction(even with saturation down and any white balance setting). Govee must know because they refunded me no questions asked
It's right in the name there! RGBIC. RGB only means it's difficult to accurately reproduce all the colors. This LuminBlend tech will really change the game, and I hope other makers are paying attention.

Gah, $100/16 ft, $100/9 ft respectfully… I’ll wait 10 years when the price comes down 😳
Times are tough! Do what's right for you!

Hopefully these strips will go on sale during Black Friday
We can dream! It doesn't happen that way usually with the new releases, but maybe a bit!
I think they're 30% off now though
Hi Brian - Can the COB strips be joined together to make them longer?
@@ttwardle sadly, not those ones. New Tech so it'll take a few revisions yet I think
Nice video as always Brian. The COB looks really nice!
Thanks Josh! It is really nice. Impressive tech!
I'm going to use these as my primary light source for my living room.

@@RaudiRaul I think if you're looking for accurate color reproduction in low saturation (whites), then get the Strip Light 2 Pro. 😃👍
Do you inow if you can install these as undercabinet likes directly to wires or does it have to be plugged in?
@@JeffreyVerret well it has that barrel connector at the end, so as long as you have that ready inside your cabinets, you're good to go!
I am thinking of getting the govee strip light 2 pro to fit wrap around the edges of my celling wall. I would like to know if several of the light strips can be connected together as one?
It goes up to 10m. :)
For Strip Light 2 Pro: How do you connect the strip which was cut?
Normally you'd solder them together. If you don't cut, there are pins and you just buy another strip and attach through the pins
With the pro light strip 2, or either really, can you " sync " 2 strips together to run effects across both and have it look like 1 effect?

The short answer is no. You could try to make it happen through the diy effects and turning them on at the same time, but...it wouldn't work out well
@@AutomateYourLife ok thanks for the reply!
Where did you get the brightness information from?
Some were from our tests, others from an independent lab test done. Depends on the exact data you're talking about. I confirmed all numbers as being relatively accurate (as in I got similar values...we measure in a different environment and in a different way so it doesn't come out the same).

What I'm really saying is that it's worth that long consideration!

Thanks Thomas! Have a great day!
Govee seems to be going upscale.
@@HansAramburo for some of their products, yep! These pro level ones for sure
are these out now? where do i buy it
Links!
Whats the width and depth of the cob light strip pro?
I think it's in the unbox part!

hey Brian have you use heimdall app ?
I have and do.
@@AutomateYourLife can you make a video how to use it ?
What’s the profit margin on these $100 light strips?
9015%
@@AutomateYourLife I believe it
Excellent video! You have stepped up your game, or I just wasn't paying attention! Regardless, no offense intended, I appreciate all you do for your viewers.
Thanks a lot! I'm just trying to be helpful in every one of our videos and I think we were missing that a little bit last year
@@AutomateYourLife Doing a great job, imo. Can't put my finger on any specifics, but your vids just seem more relevant to me.

another set of great products from govee, but the govee app is still awfull and they really dont seem to care about it

Ahahahaha yep!
