New Govee Strip lights
The Govee Strip Light 2 Pro uses the company’s LuminBlind Color Control System and supports five-way color control. It features 5-in-1 RGBWW light beads and can be segmented into as many as 10 sections per meter. Govee includes more than 100 preset scene modes and 16 music modes with the Strip Light 2 Pro. The strip can be controlled through several smart assistants, such as Amazon Alexa and google Assistant.
The Govee COB Strip Light Pro is the company’s first COB solution. COB stands for “chip on board.” If you’re into tech and want to geek out about the how and why COB lights provide unique advantages, I suggest reading the breakdown by Ultra LEDs. But if you just want to focus on why you should consider them in your home or office, COB light strips provide a smoother light that’s diffused and does not have visible spotting. The COB Strip Light Pro also has RGBICW LEDs and you can customize it with up to 12 segments per meter. Like its Govee siblings, you can control the COB Strip Light Pro with the Govee Home app or through a smart assistant.
