Dislikes: Not Govee's fault, but it would be nice if Alexa understood the variations of colors, she doesn't understand the color Teal, and on occasion has an issue with Orange. Haven't gone through all the color shifts possible, but sure I'll find more that Alexa doesn't understand in time. Only other dislike I have, again, not Govee's fault, but Alexa doesn't understand the "Dreamscape" mode where the bulb(s) can pick up sound with their built-in microphone, so they can automatically color shift to the music you're playing. Would have been nice if Alexa could access that aspect of these bulbs using voice commands, but I couldn't get Alexa to comply with entering that mode for these bulbs.
Likes: I can voice control the bulbs with Alexa and can shift intensity or color, within Alexa's comprehension, so at least the basic control is available. But if I want the lights to hear music or sounds, I have to use the Govee Home App to do that. Minor inconvenience, would have been nice if Alexa could have been used for this option as well.
Set up in the Govee app can be a bit daunting, but once you understand their Control App and get it linked to your Amazon account, set-up is fairly easy to do, and easy to add to Alexa once that hurdle is done.
Lights are very bright at 100%, much better than I expected, especially with the White color, I have to use it at 10% when using my computer because it's glaring at 100%, the 10% setting is ideal for my computer table lamp to use while on my computer. If not using the computer, 100% lights up my living room very well, even at 50%, the bulb lights up my living room area very nicely, but still too bright for being on the computer. LOL
These bulbs are very nice, seem to be easy to use and set the variations of color easily (in the Govee App), like stated in my dislikes, Alexa has some issues when asking to change the color on some colors, again, minor annoyance if using Alexa for full control of these bulbs. I have 2, one in a living room lamp and one in a small table lamp on my nightstand. Alexa turns them off and on nicely, sets intensity easy enough, Alexa only has issues when requesting certain colors to be used, like Teal, and sometimes Orange.
Other than these things I consider minor annoyances, these bulbs work fantastic, due pretty much what you want them to do. And I can definitely recommend them.
