Very cool, very easy.
I bought the Govee H600D series lights for my wife, who wanted to be able to control each of our recessed can LEDs. After setting them up, I feel in love with them!First of all, setup of the lights in the app is super easy. You install the lights, download the app, search your product and turn Bluetooth ON on your phone, turn on the lights and it finds them. **I will say it is a little cumbersome to set up each light one at a time, but once done, things are easy. I only had eight lights, so not too bad.Uh, lots of colors, with some kinda generic presettings called “Scenes” and a color wheel to select any color, plus a few preset solid colors. A DIY mode, but I haven’t played with that. Music mode is pretty cool, see video.A problem I ran into that others might is my light switch. I had a dual switch setup with a dimmer on one. So, the type where either switch turns the lights on and off and one switch dims them. First, I installed the lights on the unaltered switches and got lots of flickering. Researched and found out dimmers are not compatible. So googled if I could just replace a dimmer switch with a regular switch and it said I could, but when I went to swap it out, I realized it wasn’t going to work. The number of wires didn’t match what was on the new switch. Further research revealed that a dual switch setup does not use a regular switch, but instead uses “3 way” switches. So I bought a 3 way switch and put that in. It wasn’t obvious how to do it, but here’s what I did that worked for changing a 3 way dimmer switch to a 3 way switch with no dimmer:!!!IMPORTANT LIFE PRESERVING MEASURE:***FIRST: turn OFF power at circuit breaker. THEN, try to turn lights on with the light switch to verify that power is OFF.***If lights turn on, you have the wrong circuit breaker tripped. Go back to circuit breaker panel and find and trip the correct breaker. If lights DO NOT turn on, you have no power to the switch and it is safe to work on.Bare copper wire coming out of the wall socket is Ground and goes to green screw. Then, there are 3 more wires, which may be any combination of white, red, black, or brown, as far as I can tell. That doesn’t matter for these instructions, but it might be a good idea to mark the common wire with a small flap of electrical tape, just in case for future use. Remove the wire that is attached to the existing switch hole or screw marked “Common” and attach to the new switch in the same spot, “Common”. These are the only two connections that are marked. The other two wires left over are “Traveler” wires and go to the two remaining holes or screws. In my experiment, it didn’t matter which wire went to which remaining hole or screw. I DID google “what happens if you wire a 3 way switch wrong” and the results said it would simply malfunction and would need to be rewired correctly. So, no real safety issues as long as your connections are proper and your wires are in good condition.**Caution: be careful not to damage wire insulation while removing and reinserting wires into holes on the outlets.Once you have swapped the wall switch, reinserted into the wall, and secured with screws, return power to circuit by untripping the circuit breaker switch you previously turned off.Enjoy playing with your lights!Addendum:A couple of things I’ve noticed since install:Sometimes, when set a “Scene”, not all of the lights in a group respond. You must then change the Scene again and then back to the one you wanted in the first place. Not a big deal really.Bluetooth confusion:It seems only one phone can be connected to the lights at a time via Bluetooth, which is a little limiting.“Scenes” are billed as “flowing lighting effects”, but many seem to be just a single color of light.I still like the lights, even though the trade off is fun effects for reduced ease in normal use functionality. Plus, the kids think they’re really cool.

Great product to replace hot gu10s
I thrifted this Jesco lamp and the regular bulbs got super hot and didn’t feel safe (maybe I’m. being paranoid) so I bought these bulbs. I use a lot of Govee lights and they’re always great. The lamp is beautiful and the colors are vibrant. Since it woeks with the Govee app I didn’t have any hassle setting it up and just had to select the bulbs that were auto-detected. I do wish I could group the bulbs in the app so I could change them simultaneously but maybe there is and I’m. Just not finding it. 😂

The GU10 Smart Bulb market is slim pickins, but this is the most consistent one I’ve tried
These are probably the best bulbs on the market for those of us who have GU10 track lighting, but also want it to integrate with the rest of our smart home setup. Finding Matter-enabled bulbs that work with Apple Home is hard. I think I found one other, and that one kept disconnecting and eventually the bulbs would become in-connectable Evan after reset. These Govee ones, on the other hand, have been holding up week. Occasionally one of them will randomly not change its color during an automated change, but they at least stay connected to my hubs consistently, and always respond appropriately to manual changes in the Apple Home app at least.Anyway, if you’re here you already probably know you don’t exactly have a lot of options. This might actually be your only option for smart GU10 bulbs at times. But it’s a decent one, and Govee is one of the better Amazon keyboard-smash-name brands out there, and I hope they continue to succeed and achieve mainstream recognition. I’ve bought other products from them and they are very good, long-lasting, consistent and high-quality across the board. Excellent value.The lights feel way brighter to me than the advertised lumens would suggest. This has been true of all the GU10 track lighting I’ve used though. Not sure if it’s because there’s four of them, because they’re downward facing and unshaded, or something else inherent to this type of lighting. But these are no exception. The regular light is very bright and the colorful light is a good bit dimmer (which I have also found to be the norm for GU10 track bulbs).

I replaced my ceiling lights with the these bulbs and the upgrade was well worth it. Setup through Matter was quick and the bulbs connected without issues.The RGBWW range works well in a ceiling fixture. Warm white looks clean for daily use and the colour modes add flexibility in the evening, or spontaneous party.Response time through the app and voice control is fast once connected, although the Bluetooth connection is weak.These bulbs work well if you want smart control and flexible lighting in ceiling fixtures.

I work from home and I like being able to set a ‘morning mode’ and still have strong light of varying warmth throughout the day. Sync’s with our other Govee products allowing us to set presets for the rec room for all devices and other rooms including a govee humidifier.Apps works good but a couple very minor annoyances. The software continues to improve.Until I went to replace my old halogens with these, I forgot how hot the old bulbs actually got!I’d recommend these

Great smart lights
