With Govee, you get much of the same experience with 10 bright and beautiful hexagon panels, all for only $199.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to flexible connectors and an ingenious mounting system, the Govee Glide Hexa\u2019s are more customizable than most. You can even wrap them around corners, but don\u2019t forget to think ahead for which side of the hexagon goes where. Once you get started, you\u2019ll quickly find that the options and designs are almost endless. And when you turn them on for the first time, you\u2019ll be amazed by the bright glowing good vibes.<\/p>\n<p>You can change each Hexa panel color individually, add beautiful color gradients, sync them up to music, or select from a wide array of pre-sets in the app to set the ambiance or get any party started.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setup_and_Install\"><\/span>Setup and Install<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117178 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/05\/fbb83ef5.jpg\" alt=\"Installing Govee Glide Hexa light panels\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cory Gunther\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Inside the small box, you\u2019ll get 10 tiles, all the connector ribbon cables, a power adaptor, a control box, extra sticky pads, an alignment tool, and even a level to ensure everything goes smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>On the back of every panel, you\u2019ll find the primary input port for power, plus five additional numbered ports which send the power out to the next Hexa through a ribbon cable. Unfortunately, you can only use one cable for each hexagon, which slightly limits creativity and layout.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the connector cables are over 6-inches long and flexible, which gives you a little slack to still think outside the box and come up with a fun design. Each Hexa connects to the next one, and the app has to be able to trace that line of power to light them all up.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s great about the Govee Hexa is that the light panel easily snaps on and off the mounting bracket. That way, it\u2019s easier to install and line them up, connect the ribbon cables, or make adjustments if you mess up as I did. The included alignment tool and bubble level were huge time savers.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117180 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/05\/07d85264.jpg\" alt=\"Govee hexa lights on a wall\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cory Gunther\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Those sticky pads, which come pre-installed, are extremely strong and can easily take the paint off your wall. As a result, I used some command s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>s for easier disassembly later as I plan on testing more layouts and adding a second pack for a string of 20 panels. On the bright side, I\u2019d rather have strong adhesive strips over weak ones, which is a common complaint with some LED light strips.<\/p>\n<p>Each Hexa panel is about 7-inches wide, and the corners are 3.5-inches long, meaning you can quickly cover a good four feet of the wall with vibrant colors. You\u2019ll notice little raised feed on the back of each panel, which helps with installation and ensures they\u2019re all the same distance from the wall for a clean, smooth look.<\/p>\n<div

shows which numbered port (between 2 and 5) each ribbon goes in as you place them on the wall. The company even added a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> instructional video to the setup wizard, saving you some headaches.

Just look how pretty they are.<\/p>\n<p>As we said earlier, each translucent panel has feet on the back, so they\u2019re raised about an inch away from the wall. This results in the light bleeding through and out the sides, which helps fill the room with rich colors. Additionally,\u00a0Govee is using multiple RGBIC LEDs inside the panels, which offer tons of color gradients, smooth transitions, and various colors on any panel at any given moment.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117182 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/05\/494494ce.jpg\" alt=\"govee glide hexa sits off the wall\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cory Gunther\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Instead of one color on each panel, these can have multiple colors that change on the fly. The \u201cfire\u201d or \u201cbreathing\u201d options inside the app will probably be your favorite, where the lights flicker or \u201cbreathe\u201d with a lively effect.<\/p>\n<p>And because there are several LEDs inside each panel, the Govee Glide Hexa gets insanely bright, almost too bright. Thankfully, you can customize the brightness inside the app. Otherwise, at night they can be pretty blinding.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to an in-line microphone on the power cable, you can pair the panels to a phone or computer or just let it listen to music and match the beat. The real-time sync works great, but the microphone can be overly sensitive at times, even after turning down the sensitivity, and picks up every little noise, instrument, or vocals. Still, it\u2019s a nifty feature that you\u2019ll surely enjoy.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Govee_Home_App_Has_Endless_Possibilities\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">The Govee Home App Has Endless Possibilities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll need the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.govee.com%2Fgovee-home\">Govee Home app<\/a> to do everything, from the initial setup to controlling all the colors, light shows, or pairing your panels to a music source to match the beat.\u00a0 There are no inline controls, aside from an on\/off switch, so you don\u2019t have to mess with the app all the time. However, if you want to make adjustments or change the color, the app is required.<\/p>\n<p>The dedicated app is excellent when considering all the options, controls, pre-sets, and light configurations. It makes it reasonably easy to adjust colors on the fly. It\u2019s so feature-packed that there\u2019s almost too much going on, to the point that you\u2019ll need to spend some time getting familiar with everything.<\/p>\n<p>As expected with most smart lights, you can quickly add a timer, adjust the brightness, change the light modes, pick a custom color palette, or choose from a wide array of pre-sets. You\u2019ll find tabs for music, color (with an entire color wheel for precise color combinations), and dozens of \u201cscene\u201d options ranging from sunset glow, fire patterns, relaxing moods, or even a disco mode that gets pretty intense. Thankfully, Govee has a photosensitivity and seizure warning pop-up to warn you before selecting some of those wild options.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117186 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/05\/90f86ced.jpg\" alt=\"Govee Glide Hexa panels orange fire setting\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cory Gunther\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I like that you can change the direction of the lights and animations. Inside the app, there are buttons for left, right, up, down, inwards, or outwards. That way, you can change the effects in addition to the colors and styles. And with the Glide Hexa, those directional options work on music, too.<\/p>\n<p>And if you really want to get creative, Govee has a DIY section where users can customize literally every aspect of the light panels or try setups from the community.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the app is almost too bloated. While you\u2019re inside the dedicated Govee Glide section controlling your lights it\u2019s fine, but once you exit, you\u2019ll find banner ads, a storefront, requests to join the Govee community, and other stuff that gets in the way of an otherwise seamless experience.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the app is also pretty finicky and occasionally frustrating. I\u2019d accidentally hit back and have to start over, wait for the Glide Hexa to pair again, then try to remember whatever menu I was in trying to customize the lights. And occasionally, it\u2019d lose the connection and have to re-pair before making further adjustments.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Few_Things_Missing\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">A Few Things Missing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117193 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/05\/26a8a3d5.jpg\" alt=\"Govee Glide Hexa panels blue and white\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cory Gunther\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Overall, I\u2019m very pleased with the Govee Glide Hexa light panels and love everything the setup offers. That said, a few things are missing, minor tweaks, if you will, that could make them better.<\/p>\n<p>For example, each hexagon has five ports on the back to send power to the next hex, but you can only hook one up to each previous panel. If Govee let us add 2-3 going out in different directions, it\u2019d open up even more creative designs. However, that could be a power and design limitation more than anything. But Nanoleaf does let you connect more than one power adapter to its panels, so it seems like something Govee could address.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d also like to see slightly smaller hardware borders around each panel, giving the lights a better overall look. Plus, wouldn\u2019t it be cool if you could make the border one color and the inner section a different color. If so, I could turn these into an NFL logo or something neat. And again, compared to Nanoleaf\u2019s Shapes lines, Govee\u2019s solution is much thicker (but also less expensive).<\/p>\n<p>And finally, the other significant omissions are Apple Homekit or PC support. While the Govee Glide Hexa\u2019s work great with the Google Assistant or Alexa, iOS users are left behind if they\u2019re deeply entrenched in the Apple ecosystem. Plus, you can\u2019t sync these up to a desktop PC as you can with Phillips Hue or the Nanoleaf, which would be an excellent way for gamers or Twitch streamers to control everything without constantly using the mobile app.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_4\">Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117194 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/05\/9125af02.jpg\" alt=\"Govee Hexa panels glowing blue\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cory Gunther\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">These can get so bright they\u2019re blinding. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Govee Glide Hexa Light Panels have vivid colors and superb lighting, making them vibrant enough for any space.
