Thank you so much for this Video. Exactly what I was looking for. All the Important Information and functions about the govee strip. Just ordered 10 Meters 🎉❤ your room looks great btw
Thanks for the Kind Words.. Awesome they are excellent strip light enjoy your project my friend... You could also use the affiliate links you could save some money in future. I have non affiliate there too if you prefer Amazon Etc enjoy and have a great evening
FYI, since you ran a single strand instead of using 2 strands around each corner the spacing between the LEDs means you have 2 LEDs facing each other at the corners & why it's too bright in the corners. Instead use 2 strands & stop 1strand on 1 side of the corner & start 2nd strand on 2nd side of the corner & LED spacing balances out & not doubled up in the corners :)
I Know mate ideally the strip should be in sections but these are expensive, I didn't want to cut this strip id rarther add another later and the Hot spot seen in the footage doesn't show to the eye the camera show s it worse your right though there are 2 diodes pointing toward each other in the corner because of the angle they are fitted which does create a brighter area
@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 I actually love the hotspot effect so much! I'm actually bummed to learn it doesn't show as such to the naked eye! Love your content BTW, great clean well shot and informative for sure. This is my first video to watch and I subbed right away. Thank you for the great content 🤜 keep up the good work!
Hello, good evening, I have 2 questions, 1: what version of Hardware do these lights support? 2: can they be synchronized with a Govee TV immersion model H6199?
hi mate yes thay can be sync'd up and i believe they can be sync'd with Razor Chroma on PC etc so technically they should sync to the PC and everything but i dont use Razor products at min so have no reason to use that feature and Yes they can be paired with TV lights envisisual kit so i assume they can also be to the immersion kit ! i dont have one just yet but intend on geting and testing some soon i hope that helps answer your question
@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 Does the star projector have green laser stars, and do they stay on all the time once on? I have a (cheap) galaxy projector, but the stars are green and they go on and off simultaneously and it annoys me so much haha
There is a small built in Microphone on the LED s reciever Most RGB kits have these now its like a small mic on one of the sides but The controll function comes from the app the reactive sounds come from the strip so the strip couldnt use Voice commands on its for Eg
Can you please tell me what the "with" is from these strips? Around 1 cm or so? I honestly can't find it on the specifications page. Thanks in advance!
How did you setup the corner of the raceways? It only comes with horizontal to vertical corner things and not horizontal to horizontal I want to set mine up like urs but not sure how to do the corners of the raceways I bought the same raceways you got but only comes with corner things going from horizontal to vertical
Hi mate theres a couple of ways you could do it i didnt use a corner piece i cut the channels at 45 degrees inverted so my corner is 90 degrees total each piece of raceway is cut at 45 so they join its not a perfect sealed joint but its good enough you could also buy extra accessories for those angles but its down to your space and design choices really if you have a hack saw or proper bench saw it can be done very neatly
Thanks i appreciate that ! but yours was good to I think after watching things back a few days later i often forget to mention things i wanted to mention, its part of learning i guess but you too dude keep up the good work Craig Is a Awesome Name btw 😂
My head is in a spin mate!!! I've been looking at all sorts of LED lights for my stairs & landing over the last few days, & I was about to pull the trigger on a full Aqara setup. You may be able to put me in the Rembrandt here? Can I use these Govee M1 lights in conjunction with 2 motion sensors? One at the top & one at the bottom of my stairs to trigger the lights when movement is detected in those areas? I have an Amazon Echo device but I don't know for sure if I can get the results that I want? Any help would be greatly appreciated & I thank you for your time sir.
Hi, Interesting question, i think it would be possible in theory but you would need some sort of trigger and to leave the lights on automatic, As they Do remember there last setting. There is no way to do in the govee app that i know of, But I know Google can automate it for when you arrive home etc... so i assume it can be done with Alexa or some other sensor of some type maybe you should also look at WLED and using a wifi module thats programmable thats also another option but i am also looking to add some abiant lighting to the Stairs so I may have a project soon Thats similar :) I hope that helps answer the question My Friend have a great Day / Afternoon
@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 Thanks for replying mate, I really appreciate it. I'll have a mooch at WLED as an option. Fingers crossed 🤞you do a video in the future addressing the motion sensor activated lighting. These Govee M1 lights certainly look the best of the bunch, yours look 😙👌
How Close should i place the m1 music mic from sound source! I have 3,5x3,5 home theater and thinking of placing the light strip behind me against the wall in the bottom, ae opposite site of my speaker. But i think there is plenty of sound in the room for the govee mic catch it
tbh mate the mic is quite sensitive mine for eg: is top corner and mic runs down the wall and hidden under a shelf the sound bar is also the opposite side of the room and it picks up even quiet audio quite well even being at around 5 to 6 meters away i dont think its a problem in normal sized rooms if its going to be too close to the speaker you can also change mic to your mobile device and customise the volumes incase of any issue but it shouldnt be a problem to place anywhere in the room really My Friend ! thx for taking the time to comment and have a Great Day
👍I m working On a Full In depth video ''How to use Govee app and its advanced features, so people can get the most out of the Govee App and their lighting set up's. It will be Out Soon my friend, thanks for taking the time to comment. I hope you have a Great Day / Evening
yes mate there is a socket each end plug and play there are also markings every few inches to cut to length if required. because of the price though i would recomend finding alternative route to use the full length unless you dont mind wasting the cut offs You could also use FEB8 for a discount in govee store if your in the USA before 6th of feb enjoy 👍
I've picked up a 65.6' set of Govee, and didn't need the last 10' of Nodes. Can I buy just the Govee controler? and power supply so I can use the last 10' some where else?
I don't think so But they do have the solder pads so if you was comfortable you could use them in some other project with a seperate power supply but you would lose the Govee app controll im interested to know if a basic controller would still work in this kind of use case so i will look into it but you could power them up yes as for govee power supply and controller you would need another kit my friend !
This video gets a thumbs up from me simply for the shirt at 06:06 🙂 UTV!!! Seriously though, nice video. These look a bit too bright for what I'm after. I'm happy building my own using WLED and soldering strips, etc... but for those looking for an all-in-one solution, these look very good. Not cheap, as you say, but not Philips Hue stupid pricing either.
UTV mate love that ! they are bright at full setting for sure but they can be toned right down there is so much to customise tbf i didnt show them in a mid setting as i maybe should have id take them over Hue but yeah hopefully they come down to the 80 90 mark then they would be outstanding value i love WLED open source too ill have some projects coming on the Channel soon i hope
Did you happen to read the terms and conditions? What to get someone’s thoughts on them. I bought some Govee lights but don’t want to allow access to my phone. 😕
Hi no i briefly scaned over them but not read through tbh but you have 2 options, you could use them still as stand alone the controller functions as a remote but you would have to cycle through and physically go to the strip to make changes if you don't allow access on your device im pretty sure you lose most of the functionality but they do work as stand alone Maybe Govee could do a unique set with a stand alone remote for Users who wish to not sign the privicy policys
There a led light strip man.... 😂 And I'm sure they don't care what's on your phone and I doubt there's anything interesting on your phone anyways, but if I could provide a solution, maybe you could get a 2nd cheaper phone with none of your important info on it strictly for there app and others that's you don't trust with sensitive information, that's what I do, I have a s22 ultra, and a iphone 13 pro as a backup
@@afrolintln7677 exactly people these days 😪 I just bought a couple iphone 14 pro just to keep them around, you never know how you could need a extra phone
Unfortunately I dont have the T2 to test with at the moment but im almost Cirtain it does sync with the T2 TV kit yes lets say im 99 % sure my friend and you can dim the brightness in the app so that shouldn't be an issue !
Nice video mate, just 1 question, can you see the spots from the leds through the diffuser or does the diffuser work well to create a seamless light strip?
You can see see the hot spots slightly on my difuser when i do them again i will either use a better difuser or they are ways to completely eliminate them customising the difusers further if you want pure color the rope light or something custom with very dense led spacing would work or if your reflecting the lights off something that would also eliminate the hot spots in most cases
@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 thanks for your response mate, it's very much appreciated. I have a profile that is only 12mm deep, might go for opal / milky diffuser or alternatively test the leds stuck on the side wall of the recessed aluminum profile so its indirectly not seen when looking at them and hope for the best. My design is a rectangle in the middle of a ceiling within a recording room so that's why I was aiming to want them seamless. I went for the govee m1 leds because of the available options / scenes it offers. Thanks again for your help.
I am thinking of getting these. If i am getting multiple do I buy an extender or what. And will they connect in the app or do I have to control both separately. And do they look good if they go on the ceiling (bedroom for example) This is my first time purchasing leds so sorry if they are stupid questions. Thank you
They are not stupid questions at all my Friend : ) Okay so yes you can connect them but they can only do 2 strips per power supply so for eg if you want 10 meters you simply connect the 4 pin connector at the end of the LED strip into the socket on the end of the other and only use one power supply But not all strips have this feature luckily these Govee M1 do have the connector built in 2 strips max though and yes you simply update in the app it will ask you to update the length of the strip very simple to do once you can navigate the app as for looking good thats personal taste but i think they look amazing on the top of my wall and i still have them there and on right now they look great in my opinion : )
Im not entirely sure to be honest im not familure with Aqara i just googled it and i will have to do some testing my friend ! sorry.. i dont know much on this at the moment
Yes it has white as for a dedicated white im not to sure but the white is decent its not a blue like with some cheaper ones. it is pretty much full white and bright
There are little visable areas with a Cut line as longs as they are tuned off while you trim the strip it wont damage them mate just take your time and it will be fine My Friend also dont forget to update the length of the strip in the Govee app or some themes may not work correctly tbh though They normally know and update / adjust acordingly on the first use ... i hope you enjoy the leds and the evening Vibes my Friend have a great Day / evening
If I was too buy 3 sets of the m1 too go around the room is it just a case of plugging them in too each other? coz I don't like the idea of soldering them together.
yes at each end there is a socket you only ned to solder them if you cut them for projects etc but yes to extend them they plug strait in Also you can then update the length in the app so its seemless transitions not sure on the length limit though hope that helps answer your question
@@inletbrewboat I was only able to connect 3 sets which is a grand total of 45 ft hope that helps? ✌️ Just too let you know I'm not a grand master of technology there maybe anthour way ? but I wanted the most easiest way possible.
@@mrpucklepops4447 i tried connecting 3 strips and updating the length but didnt work for me. Is there anything else that i need to do to get it to work?
not as far as i'm aware my Friend ! They can be paired up with the 4 pin socket on the end but i think they are limited to 2 strips per power outlet so it would be 10 meters...thats 2 strips together so technically you would need like 4 sets to do your thing but Govee did update the curtain light from 2 together to 3 then 5 so there maybe a way around it but as far as i know its 2 x 5m as there isnt power injection i hope that helps... Awesome Name btw 😁and Have a Great Evening My Friend
Hi Yes you can Add 2 strips together the only thing would be joining them you would either need a femal 2 way connector or those clip types if you wanted to get technical even solder them... theres several ways you could join them as for how many im not entirely sure...2 definately, 3 maybe ? you can refresh length in the app to update it for seamless changes
depends on the size of your Kitchen but in theory yes as you can connect two strips together on one power supply for a total of 10 meters so if the kitchen is around that size but i believe 2 strips are the maximum on one power supply my friend !
@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 after some research, you can actually place more than 2 using “groups” (within the app), once you add in another power supply. But yes, max 2 per transformer. Thank you!
I have some goove strips unfortunately maybe my Google nest audios glitch while playing spotify. Seems the connection from the goo é strips messed it up
Hi Tbh Not sure whats gone wrong there but you can always reset the connection see if it fixes the issue i will try to replicate the issue see if its a bug or something else
@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 I tried everything. I was 3 weeks in contact with both google and Spotify we tried everything and still no fixes. Until I was like OK let me unplug these lights to see and bang after some minutes no issue then I plugged them back on and I got the issue again. Goove said they gonna refund me and I can keep the lights after 2 emails lol. I just asked if could be from the lights and what I could do. If they want to refund it's because they know there's issues with them. (it's not the ones from your video, it's a 5m strip with rbg and a mic for reaction to sound) but yeah unfortunately I can't find other ones I can buy I guess. Philips is so expensive :/
Hi yes you can do pretty much anything you like with it i use the white setting when i need brighter light in the room its dimable too so you choose the modes you like
Hi ! Yes you can get it down from bright white to a warm like a night lamp effect, it doesn't display Kelvin though its just a slider but yes it can be customised to pretty much any colour and its fairly accurate athough if that would be the only purpose i would recommend and much cheaper option like a COB LED strip these can be very good for white s and warm tones i hope that helps answer your question my Friend Have a great Day !
Hi mate so normally i would use a corner segment and rejoin the strip but in this case the aluminium channel makes the corner tight so it just holds with some manipulation but for a cleaner look i would normally use the corner joint s really cheap and effective
@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 I am so confused by videos on Amazon about the Govee m1 and some other videos here on RU-vid. So Govee m1 cannot be cut and soldered or use one of the cut and clamp corner connectors?
@@kccustodes2618 no They can be cut i just wouldn't because they are expensive but Yes you could cut and solder like any other rgb strip and there is actually a socket each end so two M1 strips can go together anyway without any need for solder etc hope that helps
@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 Thanks sir, but I'm still confused how you created a 90 degree downward turn with the strip. Did you just curl the strip and shove it into the channel? Also is there a 90 degree corner connector for the aluminum channel or is it just bumped up against the end of the top one?
@@TylerMiami Hi Mate ok so the left top corner is just a normal fold and basically Yes to get the desired bend on the right side the side i think you mean ? i heat the strip slightly with a heat gun very delicately and fold it to where it needs to be it worked in this case but i would of prefered a corner piece if i did it again you can get joints but they are difused plastic i have got some and have more LED videos PLanned Hope that helps answer your question
Hi mate so sorry i did mean to link them and forgot Updated now with latest available check description i added both black and silver channels i hope this helps
Thanks for reply asking.. what you do at the corners because there cant be use any L shape or 90 degree corners because you dont go down fron the corner you go around and i dont find the corner thing for this application at the ceiling. I ask because i have a rgbic and govee said no cut it. I know cut its the way but in rgbic its risky i dont want to assume that let me know
Thanks for taking the Time to comment Yes you can change direction , Gradient, effect, colours, and more they are easily the Best LED Strip i have to date and i have quite a lot The M1 are way up there
hi my friend it is the Blisslight Evolve i have a video here for it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gyva4EzLrdM.html&pp=ygUTYmxpc3MgbGlnaHQgZXZlb2x2ZQ%3D%3D
I saw comments on Amazon from one of the corner connector products saying you can use on rgb govee but never does it work on rgbic govee (like the m1). But then I see videos saying you can do it but I have yet to see video where they do it and it works.
@@kccustodes2618 ok ! noted my friend i Will try make a Video linking the corner connections to find out in that case if all your connections are good and in the correct order with the strips used i dont see why they don't work tbh
no Internet required Mate ! they can be controlled via Bluetooth too and technically Yes you could use them on a Camper as long as there is a Power supply But Govee actually have Strips especially for Vehicles which may be better suited though i havnt tested those
@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 yeah thanks for the info. So the govee app is bluetooth then? it shouldn't be tough to do on a rv as these lights are 24v dc. If you have 12v in the rv you just need to mount a dc/dc converter somewhere to be a dedicated power supply for 24v as a constant power source. Finding bright reliable lights was one of the hardest issues I faced but these M1's look promising.
@@NigelM18 Yes it has Bluetooth connectivity and Wifi if it loses Wifi it auto connects via Bluetooth so in your case it would just default to bt They are 100% the Best all in one Led Kits I have owned and tested so far for brightness and color depth 👍
Its the Evolve lamp from Blisslight mate is just out of shot but i made a video on that too if you wanted to see it Just search Bliss light Evolve Star projector ! have a great day My Friend
Depends on your need s my friend I can recommend both but in different circumstances for channel or main lighting M1 you can add second strips and cut to size etc Rope you can not but they look better on walls than the M1
Hi, they are aluminium Raceways with Difusers Available on Amazon heres the link ... amzn.to/3PK6zWj Good luck on your project My Friend have a Great Day !
yes my friend you can change brightness and sensitivity and even the modes plenty of custom options with these M1 strips they are still my Best LED strip almost a year later I hope you have a great Day
theres a few options my friend Govee directly Delivery make take slightly longer or Amazon i left affiliate links in the description where you may get a bargain Govee M1 is the name and i used Aluminium raceways bought seperatly also linked my friend 👍
yes there is effects like that and you can also customise your own if your not happy with the effect or need a slightly different look these LED s dont give off any Flicker im using a Galaxy S23 and Sony V5 No flicker but in slow motion you will almost always get some sort of stutter in the light unless you have controll of the shutter speed i hope this helps you in some way and Have a great Day
Not directly but if you have the T2 tv kit they can sync upto that so enhance the theme and effects in movies etc I hope that helps answer your question my friend have a great day
@@avijitjha1614 I agree the camera hanging off the TV isnt the best i believe ther is A HDMI version but im not sure who made it ... Also a way around this would be making custom themes and sync them up via dream view but the problem then is you loose the immersion for eg: a green TV screen wouldn't mean green light it would kinda be random colours or personalised but there not going to match movies etc not without some sort of direct link my friend
Yes my Friend 2 x 5M Strips are perfect together.... be sure to update the strip length in the app though to get full effects on the full length of the strip Thanks for taking the time to comment i hope you have a great Day / Evening
not that im aware of but i would have look into it and maybe I could suggest it to the App development team to see if they can look at it in the future i know they are compatable with google assistant etc so in theory i suppose theres a way to do it via aqura or some sort of third party bi pass
yes there are cut point along the strip as long as the scissors are a reasonable size there should be no issue make sure yo unplug them before cutting and also i used normal Kitchen scissors on my projects no problem have fun !
there are links in description my friend Amazon Non affiliate Govee Official are affiliate but you may save money on the Govee links They are all down in the description 👍
Not with this kit you can use them on a TV if you wish but they would be wasted in my opinion you could also do your own custom theme to suit your movies etc but tbh the Dream View back light TV kit would be better suited
no unfortunately not, The Test Phone.. its the Samsung J5 2015 my old old mobile but hardly any apps work on it anymore properly lol i used to keep it for testing but we had to upgrade it well spotted though
Yes mate difused With the aluminium race ways and white trim but i would recommend looking for better ones as i want to change these they are ok but not perfect
@@fruityice1873 I left some Amazon Links below for the difffusers if you check out the page there should be some suitable ! try to get thicker or white diffusers if you want to elimanate the lighting hot spots 👍
Im not sure i understand but if you mean Can you Use Apple Products Phone Tab etc Yes i don't have I phones to test them on but yes there compatable with apple
Those look awesome. But the price, is way more than im willing to pay. They're on sale 20% off, and its still 80 bucks for 16.4 feet. Thats a big fat no from me. I can get 64ft of the govee rgbic for less money that 16ft of this one.
I agree they are pricey. But they are miles better brighter more color and shorter led spacing than any other all in one strip they are kind of in a league of there own and can't be compared to the basic strips
Im wondering actually that people still use google home 😂 Idk if you tryed apple, first, it reacts lightyears faster 😂 Second, you can dictate letters or really complex sentences, where google will fail and google can't do letters anyway 😂 Basically it's disgusting, because google started first with all that speech assistant, and you expect that it's good 😂 But once you tryed Siri, you will realize how freeking far in the past google is, the differences are night and day 😂 At least for German speakers like me. Maybe that's better for English speakers. However i didn't seen anyone longtime having a google nest or something like that old crap 😂 Otherwise, you're clearly goovee hyped, but the m1 is indeed a good strip and you made a good video either! Personally i still prefer wled with 144/m, 5meter long ws2815 strips, powered from both sides 🙈 The problem with that goovee stuff is, that leds are combined. Means that the effects need to be fast, to make it look seamless.... With my 144/m ws2815, described above solution, you can have really "slow" fluid effects, that are relaxing! Not that super fast effect speed crap, because the lights are combined 😂 That's probably great for a showcase, but not for day to day living 😂 Cheers
I know apple is Faster but i left apple at I phone 4 when they started Stopping me from repairing my own stuff plus a mac we took into the store with a damage space key they striped it put it back non working and said it was our Main board buy a new one ! it worked before i went in the door just a space bar not reg Apple to me are one of the worst and i would ever use them again i hope someone else can make chips as fast as them though unfortunate but yes im stuck with alexa and google lol until Jarvis is finished lol Some intricate Led Kits can be more fluid i saw Chris Maher do a awesome video on these type of strips but govee have impressed me with this one and although normally there needs to be fast movement with Govee fluidity This one looks good even slowed down unlike my Desk which kind of stutters to the next colour on slow chaser etc
@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 i know, the m1 is pretty good, i didn't complained. Just personally still prefering ws2815 for the "atmosphere" wall relax light task. Sry, dunno how to say that in English 😂 About Apple, idk why you are mad at them for not repairing your stuff. Tbh, no other company would either. Believe me, all companys are shit, some are just shittier 😂 And it will get much worse in the future 🙈 Cheers ✌️
yes my friend there are cut marks along the strip i will be making another video on the cutting and joining extra strips to explain it in more detail we will working on that shortly
@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 im in dire need of a lightstrip that can be cut, very thin and flexible , 5 Volts , connects with usb A or C and has an on / off switch on the cable itself , not a remote. Do you know any that fits all these needs? Iv been searching for ages
@@poti732 if your going to be using custom lighting and building your own things Yes switches are handy and needed in most cases ok i would go with a thin strip not the rubber protective ones unles you need protection or outdoor use they can bend totally and still be fine they also have cut marks and things to help you re join solder or customise in other ways but you will be limited with modes there is a brand called enteenly led they have usb connection a switch and can be cut and bent i have them on my TV depending on size they will be ideal if you need 5 meters or more i would look for something the same but longer I hope that helps point you in the right direction if you get stuck i can link some for you .. Have a great Day
I have Never been payed a penny by anyone tbh neither would I if it wasn't True i wouldn't upload it I have over 60 sets of RGB and various Amazon Ebay Kits The Govee M1 Is The Best i Have ever seen. Im not saying there isn't better at all in the world there could be But to me these are the best i have seen or tested in every way although they are pricey
They are My friend ! even almost a year later and several other kits tested the Govee M1 Are still the best kit I have only now they have Matter AI too on the new models so there even better in my opinion
Maybe i came accross as complaining i was just pointing it out as Govee also like to know these little details and things like this so they can provide overall better service for everyone and these tabs have since been fixed to better ones I didn't really Mind it I was Just pointing it out My Friend, Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment and I hope you Have a Great Day !
they are more expensive than most but i have tested over 50 LED kits and these are head and shoulders above anything else except WLED but thats custom lane this is all in one but i get it they are pricey save 20 % with my link and keep an eye for a sale you can get them around 50 60 pound
Isn’t this a roll of £29,95 led in a £70 incredibly useless beautybox? You reviewers really have to start critting manufacturers when junk is just unnecessary junk that drives the cost up.
i get the point but These are The Best LEDs Iv seen upto now and Used im all for budget kits too but this is a premium set not a typical set for that there is a extra cost to consider anyone who knows RGB wouldnt take a 29.99 set over these because the 29.99 set cant do what these Can the box is a beauty box but again it was a nice exerience and i appreciated the quality theme Throughout
@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 anyone that knows LED barely takes a looks at govee as they can get these types of led for about $10-$15 for 5 meters (60 LEDs per meter), without a controller. While the Govee probably have the best store bought controller it's not worth an extra $50.
@@AnhtoanNguyen128 i agree mostly ! i said in the video you can achieve this much cheaper, if A you know what your doing with Controllers Voltage supply etc B Be prepared to build it... but for those who want to buy a kit ready to go i can promise you i have Never seen LED s that are as bright as this and with all the features of community sharing effects and so on as diverse although a little pricey but yes you can build something that does the same much cheaper
@@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5 MY reply was not to take away from what Govee offers, as its a good product. They way you speak of their lights almost sounds like they are paying you to say those words. While its a good product my point is only to illustrate that the value of price vs product is very high. The lights they sell is about $15 from a different company. They are charging people an additional $55 for the controller and integration.
