Inside every set has a bit envelope with extra Nerv name backs together with a QR code to scan to obtain unique themes for the lights within the Govee Residence app. I normally choose minimal packaging however exploring these lights as I opened every field was really fairly thrilling. That is a kind of merchandise the place opening it appears like part of the expertise.
The housings for every mild are predominantly Unit 01 purple with themed touches like circuitry or lineart within the matching inexperienced. They’re fairly putting and even when I wasn’t a giant fan of the anime I feel I would nonetheless need these only for the look.

Subsequent, I went for the wall lights, which are available in a number of totally different configurations. This set is 6 bar lights and one in all every a triangle and sq. connector. The bar lights include tabs so you possibly can slot them into one another on the ends, and the connectors enable for offshoots and angles. These are a bit fiddly to place collectively as a result of the tabs snap misplaced actually simply, however as soon as it is on the wall and supported I had no such troubles.
The connectors and bars make your design choices a bit restricted, so chances are you’ll need to determine your design earlier than buying. I used to be yet one more sq. connector away from an enormous H preliminary, and the triangles offered extra of an R or Ok. It makes the growth package a very tempting addition, and I like that Govee has these choices so as to add on to this show so I am not simply caught with making one other big buy for a number of extra items.

The Glide Y lights are a bit extra toned down, with purple plastic casing over the entrance. These output extra mild to the aspect and are far more about lighting your wall than your self. The Y form lets you get plenty of protection out of the 5 panels included within the pack, in a wide range of shapes. I discovered the tabs on these simpler to attach as they weren’t holding as a lot heavy plastic, and there is a versatile one included for wrapping the design across the wall. These maintain collectively with out as a lot assist required because the wall lights so they are a bit extra versatile for experimentation.

Each of those wall mountable lights have a themed connection to the ability cable, versus a boring fundamental plug. I do know I am a sucker however I simply love an excellent element like that. The cable will get boring after that although, that includes a 3 button controller for fundamental choices on a standard black wire, that results in an influence brick. This outputs through a determine 8 to the plug although, which is very helpful for avoiding energy adapters for various areas.
The Govee themed set of Evangelion battlestation lights have gotten to be one of many coolest collaborations I’ve seen in a very long time. They’re comparatively simple to get arrange and kick alongside in concord all collectively, mirroring your display screen, or alone doing their very own factor. Like most of Govee’s choices, these aren’t the most affordable gaming lights. For the benefit, versatility, and simply glorious aesthetics, in addition they aren’t that pricy at $200/£200 for the 6 bar set, which needs to be the good of the lot. The entire package is slightly below $500 RRP, which does not really feel too terrible contemplating you are getting mirrored display screen lighting.
