Decision:

As a designer, I got this on a whim after seeing it online, and it's been a blast for adding some flair to my space. I use it while I'm working or just chilling, and it syncs up nicely with my other smart stuff. A tip: play around with the voice commands for quick changes when you're busy. It's not perfect, but it's an acquired taste that grows on you. Overall, it's a solid pick if you're into customizable lighting without going overboard.

• Pros: I love how easy it is to control with the app and voice assistants, and the way it bends into any shape makes decorating super fun. The lighting effects are really dynamic and respond well to my commands, which is too cool for setting the mood in my apartment.
• Cons: It doesn't work with my home's faster internet, which is a bit annoying, and sometimes the automatic effects based on my inputs feel a bit off or glitchy. From what I feel, the material could be a tad sturdier for the price.

Decision:

Before I got this, my living room was pretty plain with just basic lighting, and I wanted something to spice it up for parties or cozy nights. After installing it, the difference is night and day—it's like having a proper workhorse for ambiance, transforming the space with vibrant colors that flow and shift. I use the app to control everything, and it's straightforward even for a beginner like me, though I could be wrong about some settings. The flexibility means I can wrap it around furniture easily, and the voice control is a nice touch for when my hands are full. Overall, it's a solid choice for DIY projects, adding a fun element without being too complicated.

• Pros: The lights are extremely easy to set up with the app, bending into any shape I want without a fuss, and the colors change smoothly in all sorts of ways, making my living room feel lively and fun. It works well with voice commands, which is super handy for quick adjustments.
• Cons: It doesn't connect to some Wi-Fi networks, which was a bit frustrating to figure out, and the material, while soft, could be a bit sturdier for long-term use. Sometimes the automatic effects don't quite match what I expect, feeling a bit off.

• Pros: the govee neon rope light is quite a game changer for setting up mood lighting in the living room the softer material makes it easy to bend into any shape you can think of and the way it changes colors and patterns is just mesmerizing from what i feel the app control is a breeze and being able to use voice commands is a nice touch the ai lighting bot is a fun feature that adds a personal touch to the lighting
• Cons: not being compatible with the faster wifi is a bit of a bummer especially when everything else is so high tech the price point might be a bit steep for some but from what i feel its worth it for the features
