    Loved it! You really don't need the bed (background music) for two reasons:
    1. The singing makes it WAY harder to pick out your voice.
    2. I only ever hear beds used for stuff that would be boring otherwise... But this review is really good! You're borderline devaluing yourself by putting the bed on... ;-)

    To make things easier I stick to Philips TVs, the signe I will order separately. This looks amazing and I got all my living room lightbulbs from hue and you can create really good lightshows :D.

    i just got the table lamp and maybe it’s bc my first philips hue product but i’m sold!! thinking about getting the floor lamp next but have been deciding whether to move to the govoo ecosystem which is much cheaper since i plan on getting multiple

    • @ManchesterTechGuy
      @ManchesterTechGuy  2 роки тому +1

      Hi, if you're planning to get multiple I would definitely go with the Govee. I have one Govee floor lamp and one Philips Hue. If I was to get more lamps, I'd pick the Govee. The remote you get with the Govee makes the lamp usable for people who don't want to download the Govee app.

    Bought one of these. Arrived and would not turn on. A Reddit post showed a unit that was delivered to a user the same day and he opened the unit up and found the power wire not attached to the PCB.
    Opened my unit up - because they would not verify I would receive another if I sent it back for warranty - and sure enough - red power wire was not connected.

      That's pretty shocking Richard. Wonder if it was a bad batch since someone else received a faulty unit on the same day. They should really give you a working unit if you receive a faulty one and take the old one back, no questions asked.
      Is it fully functioning now?
