It’s crazy this guy has 2.25k followers and most “tech” reviewers under that have 1M+ followers are not half as thorough, to the point, objective as this guy. Great video!
The fact that you talked for a good 30 seconds before even getting into the product and answered everything I needed to know about 30 more secinds in is wild. Hugely underrated. Subscribed whether I ever watch your channel or not again based purely on this.
Just purchased the Lyra. Got it on sale, so I'm happy about that. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Much appreciated. I hope it's a great purchase :)
I like these kind of tutorials. Fast and compact. Too often these kind of tutorials which can be answered in less than 5 minutes takes 10min+ because host just loves his own voice too much. Thanks. Im going to buy lyra.
Thank you!! Was debating which to buy on sale today and I just couldn’t figure out the difference. This was exactly what I needed. Is to decide between this and the cylinder one….
Thanks Adam, We're trying to find good ambient lights for our podcast but most reviewers beat around the bush quite often, very direct and to the point, thank you!
I have a 55 inch LG OLED TV and the Govee TV Backlight 3 Lite. Will the Basic lamp sync/Dream View with 3 Lite and match colours with the 3 Lite as colours change on the TV screen ? Thank you.
Great video. I totally agree, I too prefer the looks of the basic lamp, only because of the base. I don't understand why they went with such a big base for the lyra. But the lyra is clearly the better one. Dangit Govee.
Really good video. Thanks for taking the time to put it up for me and everyone else. It's always nice to find videos and information that help us solve problems.
Thank you for reviewing both. This is a great comparison. The Lyra right now is $150 but the basic is $60 on a Prime Sale. So definitely going with the Basic as it is so much more affordable.
@@1Frst693 I know, but they have sales all the time. I'd wait until a sale, just periodically check. That's how I've done it and now covered in Govee products
Does the basic have all the RGB capabilities of the T2 dreamview? I just want something to match. Dont need the floor lamps to do more than the backlight strip
So I've got 2x Lyra and both do the same thing: in music mode, the lights do their own thing, they only sync with the music I am playing if I turn the mode from the app to use the microphone from my phone. Everywhere I read about it, it says it has its own microphone - where?
Great video! I'm looking to shine color from my ceiling onto a wall painted flat black. This style lamp is an option. I don't want to see the LED diodes so I'm wondering if there are LEDs that point or are cut at an angle. In other words, if I'm looking at that wall I just want to see the effect of the light, not the LED diodes. I'm wondering if i need to install a small piece of wood across the ceiling to physically hide the LED strip. Thoughts?
Great review! I’m brand new to Govee lights and just starting my research. I want to try the TV backlighting but was curious if these corner lights could be linked to work with the TV backlighting.
Yes, you can link all of them. I have the t2 tv backlight and it is incredible. I have it synced to 16 ft govee led strip in a custom TV stand I built. It is incredible. I added 2 govee bulbs. You can sync them all and even chose the position in room with the app. Let's say an explosion happens on the left of your TV screen, all the lamps on the left will display the explosion. Now I want to add these lamps. The others have been amazing, great quality, very customizable and worth the price.
Does the basic one hookup to the t1 dreamciew setup Mt brother has? I want to buy the basic light and have it be immersion but I can't find any info on the basic. Will the basic work with the t1 in dreamview?
Just bought the basic version, and I'm a little disappointed with the diffuser. I have it situated facing the corner of the room and I can differentiate between each LED bulb that are lit with different colors, for example with the "Fire" scene in the Govee app. Not sure if the Lyra has the same issue but feeling a little buyer's remorse atm.
Hey Adam! Thanks for the video. I have some doubts and I already went over Gove's website, Their community and Reddit but no answer. Can I have 2 or 3 Floor lamp basic that move/sync at the same time as some live music? I believe that they don't have their own mic, but they use the one from the phone. I like the looks of the basic one, minimalist and not bulky. Thank you!
Nope. My cheap Walmart standard floor lamp for$7 works better with a govee color bulb. Under$20 for that set up. I mean these r cool but all they r, are the normal led strip on a pole. U can make it yourself with govee and some PVC fittings from home Depot for half the price. 🤔🤷 Why not
Too bad the Lyra has a ugly silver color that doesn't match anything. They need to make it all white, or all black. Both would be ideal. Good review, thanks!
Give this man an award for not only answering ALL our questions, but for doing it in less than 5 minutes. THANKS ADAM!!!

Great video! Answered my questions in a matter of minutes! Appreciate the hard work on this 😊
Thank you! Any other smart lights you've been looking into?
Thanks for the video, it’s so refreshing to see straight to the point info!!!! 🔥
Excellent review. Keep going, and you will be one of the best on RUclips.

Which one did you buy ?
Thanks Adam, We're trying to find good ambient lights for our podcast but most reviewers beat around the bush quite often, very direct and to the point, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!! Can't wait to see what it looks like
The Lyra now has a black version that has a remote control too and it looks amazing!
Wow that's awesome!!! Didn't know they released that. I have the Floor lamp 2 and floor lamp pro now and need to go back and compare all 4.
I have a 55 inch LG OLED TV and the Govee TV Backlight 3 Lite. Will the Basic lamp sync/Dream View with 3 Lite and match colours with the 3 Lite as colours change on the TV screen ? Thank you.
Did you ever find an answer? I'm also wondering the same.
Other comments have said it all. Thank you for the full coverage but to the point video!

Thanks for the sub!
How does this connect to the TV? I want these lights but do i also have to buy the camera/box? I want the option for the color to match the TV
Great work Adam! Thank you for this awesome video
Glad you liked it!
This dude should have more subs

Man, now that was a good review with information..thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Hey, can i connect those lights with philips ambilight tv? Are they going to match with how tv changing lights or?
No it will run separate with a govee sync box
Hi 👋 Please tell me , can i use it i Europe with 220V ?
So I have the t2 led tv lights. That are rgbic.. my queen if I get the Lyra that is rgbicww will they still match well? Or not?
The software should take care of the difference
Thanks for the review! Lyra is on sale for $89 right now. Guess that means I’m buying two
wow that's a steal!
Great video. I just bought the Lyra for $89 through the Govee website, so you can find a great deal if you don't want to spend $150
I think the Lyra is getting phased out soon with new models incoming
Yeah looks like it. I don't think I can justify the $150 expense, and not sure I see the value compared to the Lyra
How do these compare to cheap Amazon floor lights?
build qualityt and material used? are plastic or aluminium?

Is there a timing function so I can use it as a sunrise lamp as well?
Yes!
How turn it off or on?? Lyra with remote but basic? No touch off or on

I'm not sure. You might reach out to Govee on social media!
@adam-talks-tech I'll do that, thx for the quick response
@@necrozfynezt let me know what they say. I haven’t looked much into dreamvidw
U want them to pair up? Yeah that works so they all work together. I think the bulbs are also paired
Is there a new one coming out this year?
I think they did come out with a black Lyra
I just picked up 2 Lyra’s in all black and I love them!
Just purchased 2 basic versions. In the packaging it does say wifi but it inly works on the 2.4 Ghz not the 5Ghz band.
Yeah a lot of smart home stuff in this way.
Can we get a review on lyra vs cylinder please?
Personally I don’t like how the cylinder looks so I haven’t bought one :)
Do you know if either has a light rising and dropping with music sync? Kinda acts like a sound/volume meter
There’s a few effects similar to this. The app gives you tons of choices
Can they be since to tv backlight?
I wouldn't buy these for TV backlights, but they would look great to the side of a TV.
They do pair but not with the cheaper systems
No basic is brilliant and definitely fits in my space 🎉
It definitely gets the job done!!
My question is what is the weight of the base of each lamp?
Lyra weighs a little bit more but i don’t have a good way to get you the weights.
Just bought the basic version, and I'm a little disappointed with the diffuser. I have it situated facing the corner of the room and I can differentiate between each LED bulb that are lit with different colors, for example with the "Fire" scene in the Govee app. Not sure if the Lyra has the same issue but feeling a little buyer's remorse atm.
it might just be too many individual pixels in that scene, but I can see what you mean.
Killer review. Well done.
Thanks for watching!!

I haven’t messed with syncing them
Which is better for movie watching dreamview?
I haven’t used dreamview
Movie watching
So if you set the lamp to white is it bright enough to use as an everyday lamp you'd use for reading etc?
Yes! Would be great for reading.
Nope. My cheap Walmart standard floor lamp for$7 works better with a govee color bulb. Under$20 for that set up. I mean these r cool but all they r, are the normal led strip on a pole. U can make it yourself with govee and some PVC fittings from home Depot for half the price. 🤔🤷 Why not

I got the basic light for $28 on TikTok shop with a bunch of discounts they were throwing at me for the first ourchase
Thank you!
You’re welcome!!

Good review, thanks!
Good point. Silver is definitely a little out dated in the tech world. I got the corner lamp in silver just to match the Lyra.
Silver is sleek and stylish. Nowhere near outdated.
Lyra $109 basic $60 today
I can just throw on govee dream color lights on some pvc and call it a day. I'll save half the price
