Govee TV LED Backlights H6182

The media could not be loaded. I had a 6ft Antec single color white strip on my 50" plasma that really bothered me that it only covered the sides and top, leaving no light coming from below the TV so I took a flyer on this kit. Install was easy once I figured out the trick to peeling the backing off the 3M adhesive. I found that slightly pushing/compressing the end of the strip made it easier to get a fingernail under the backing. I used the included clips and a few pieces of 1x2" clear packing tape in certain spots to make sure it stuck (did the same with the Antec strip and was still holding strong after 5 years).Got everything back up on the wall and connected, plugging strip into one of the two USB ports of my set and all the strip would do is flash red ever second or so. Started emailing Govee support to see what's up and after a few minutes my Panasonic TV came up with a warning message - "USB device under powered" or something like that. Unplugged from the TV and into the included wall wart and BAM! brilliant LED illumination.Don't know what one of the other reviewers is saying about not being able to get it white and only purple. His picture looks purple and mine kind of do as well, but can say in person it's damn near pure white. The 'music' setting is pretty nice (see video) as it uses a mic to pickup ambient sounds and reacts. My 7 year old daughter likes yelling at it to get it change colors :-)App works well and connects via bluetooth quickly.Overall bright and seems built well.

Installed last night. Nice packaging.There's an app in the App Store (iPhone, also for Google but didn't try that) you can use to adjust the brightness, and the colors instead of using the wired remote. If you add the Alexa skill you can also control all of that with your voice which makes the most sense because I don't want to get up from the couch. But it's pretty amazing for the price, honestly. You pick a single color and all lights change to that same color. It's a cheap device, don't ask if it does some higher end lighting feature, like different colors on different segments, people. Don't be that person.... It can also pulse to the music but didn't use that because I'm not a teenager....Now, it is a cheap device so who knows if it will last a year or what. It does the job. If you pay this little you should be fine if it doesn't last forever, people..... it's been a day, but I'm more than satisfied for the price....There were only some minor issues;- If you pull off the paper that protects the adhesive backing, you might get no adhesive at all. It's easy to accidentally pull off the adhesive, and if so, you can use the clips or some tape to hold it.- Lights not super bright, but I only run them at 20% power so don't care- It's one long strip with 4 elbow bends so you can't trim the strip or extend it, so check your TV size- It can take USB power from your TV, but if I you switch lighting settings a few times my Panasonic Plasma gets upset and says the device is taking too much power and shuts off that port. Solution is just to use the included wall plug for power. This probably depends on the TV model. I use Alexa to turn it on / off instead.

These work perfectly, and with the Govee app you can preset the control to your likings. It has so many colors which makes it so fun. These are easy to install too.

If you plan on using these lights for a TV or monitor and plan to use the USB port to power them, do some research. I bought these for a 34 in LG monitor and planned to use a USB port on the back to power them so I wouldn't have to worry about any more cable management. When I first got the light strip I plugged it into a wall outlet before unspooling the whole thing to test them and everything worked great. However, once I plugged them into my monitor's USB port, I started having issues: it couldn't connect to my Wifi (yes I had my 2.4Ghz separate on my router) and every time I tried to change the color to a more whiter/brighter shade via the app, it temporarily lost all connectivity, including Bluetooth. It did this every single time.I went back and forth with customer service and as it turns out, whiter shades of color require the most power. And ultimately it was discovered that my monitor wasn't able to provide sufficient power to achieve this brighter colors. Customer service was great and helped me track down the issue. Once I told them I bought the lights solely for my monitor USB they were very understanding and even went so far as to offer a full refund.With all that said, overall these are pretty good lights for the price. If you plan on using these with the power adaptor and a wall outlet or if know your TV or monitor USB can fully power the lights, then I don't think you will be disappointed!
