Something that Nanoleaf light panels have that none of Govee's offerings comes with is panel touch control. Most of Nanoleaf's panels can be used as a sort of switch to control compatible smart home devices, but Govee has never offered this functionality. It displays most colors accurately as well. I've always found that some color smart lights are not as good at displaying some colors like light purple or lavender, but I haven't found that to be an issue here. There is a control box included if you prefer to be tactile. It comes with three buttons (one for power, another for cycling through nine colors, and the last one to toggle Music mode) and a mic, which lets the kit listen to ambient sounds when Music mode is on. To disable the collection of data for processing with Google Analytics, you can install the opt-out tool here That's right; you can set the Glide Hexagon Light Panels Ultra to respond accordingly with light effects for whatever audio is playing in the room, which adds another fun aspect to it. And it's pretty accurate and on point.
Each panel is made of robust plastic, with a clear acrylic facade - instead of the matte front on the regular Govee Glide Hexa panels - that gives it a glossier finish. At 4 inches per side, it's also slightly bigger than a Glide Hexa panel, meaning that you'll need a bit more space to accommodate the 10-panel kit. Each of the sides and lines on a panel is not just bright and vibrant but also capable of movement, allowing the panel to accurately display every lighting effect accessible on the app and gradually change colors as well. Bear in mind, however, that smart light panels are not the best at properly illuminating a room, at least not at the same level as traditional overhead lighting. And that's the case here as well. I have found that the Govee Glide Hexagon Light Panels Ultra can be bright enough to light a small room, but not enough to read in unless you're sitting directly in front of it. Still, it's plenty bright for most situations, especially if it is placed strategically. Govee Glide Hexagon Ultra: Price and availabilityWhile you can pretty much control the Govee Glide Hexagon Light Panels Ultra via the control panel alone, using the app to customize it opens you to a whole world of possibilities. The Govee app is the motherlode of smart light customizations, giving you a whole catalog of preset light effects grouped into two categories - Music and Scene - so you can choose the effect that suits your current mood. It's a cool feature but something most people won't miss. To be honest, I've never used this function on my Nanoleaf panels since I've got most of my smart home devices connected to Alexa anyway, and voice control is just much easier. So you're not missing out on much not having it on the Glide Hexagon Light Panels Ultra.
As its name implies, each panel in the Govee Glide Hexagon Light Panels Ultra kit is hexagonal in shape. Unlike other hexagonal light panels out there, however, it comes with three sides and nine lines that light up to create that 3D effect. And they're all customizable with color and lighting effects, making this smart lighting kit the most dynamic of them all. Related: Hands-on with Govee Neon LED Light Strip: Take Your Room Ambient Lighting Into Another Level HEXlights Remote Controlled Wall Lights By Emberela A big smart home fan, I've been a smart home user for a few years, with Philips Hue light bulbs being my very first smart home device. I've also been testing smart home devices, from smart lights and smart speakers to smart appliances like robot vacuums and heaters, since owning my first light bulbs. They’re also a type of smart lighting, so they’re quite different in many ways from the stationary lights of the past. Like most smart lighting kits, hexagon lights are sleek, lightweight, interactive and touch-sensitive panels shaped like a hexagon. They’re capable of changing color and dimming. Hexagon smart panels are usually also app-controlled and can be turned on and off as well as dimmed or color changed remotely using a smartphone. Each Govee Glide Hexagon Ultra panel comes with 129 lamp beads inside, according to Govee. These lamp beads use RGBIC (RGB+ built-in Independent Chip) light so they can display not just 16 million colors but also rainbow lighting effects.And believe me, they're more than enough to give it that capability to display multifaceted 3D lighting.Testing the Govee Glide Hexagon Light Panels Ultra for a week, I used it as my main lighting for my living room. Although I've set up many smart light panels before, I started with carefully following Govee's setup process to see how easy it is to follow for the uninitiated. I also made sure to test its features, utilizing the Govee and Alexa apps as often as possible, and its performance, especially when it comes to illuminating my space, responding to commands, and displaying all the available customizations. While searching for creative lighting options beyond your average light fixtures or lamps, you might’ve come across the trend of hexagon LED lights. Hexagon lights have grown in popularity as a way to create more ambient lighting in a space, with their colorful glow and interesting geometry.
