Its 3D design offers many different customizations, much more than other smart light panels offer.

It’s also incredibly bright, vibrant, and responsive to app and voice commands.

It certainly makes a strong case for it.

But it seems that time is over.

The connection ports and the linking cables are just as robust.

There is a control box included if you prefer to be tactile.

And it’s pretty accurate and on point.

Something that Nanoleaf light panels have that none of Govee’s offerings comes with is panel touch control.

It’s a cool feature but something most people won’t miss.

So you’re not missing out on much not having it on the Glide Hexagon Light Panels Ultra.

It can get pretty convoluted until you get used to how it works so I advise exercising patience.

Once you get the hang of it, the possibilities are endless.

Each Govee Glide Hexagon Ultra panel comes with 129 lamp beads inside, according to Govee.

And believe me, they’re more than enough to give it that capability to display multifaceted 3D lighting.

It displays most colors accurately as well.

It responds just as quickly whenever you’re turning it on or off, or changing light presets.

And that’s the case here as well.

Still, it’s plenty bright for most situations, especially if it is placed strategically.

The question is, is it worth it?

I’d say yes if it’s possible for you to afford it.

Unfortunately for UK and Australian customers, it’s not available in those countries at the time of writing.
