About
The Govee COB Strip Light 2 Pro (models H1AA2 for 6.56 ft and H1AA5 for 16.4 ft) is an indoor LED strip that uses COB packaging at 1,344 LEDs per meter. Govee says its recessed triple-layer LED design spreads light evenly so the strip glows as one line.
Color comes from RGBWWIC LEDs with Govee's 16-bit LuminBlend+ blending and 16 ICs per meter for segmented effects. White light is rated at 540 lumens per meter, with a 1000K to 10000K range and a 92+ CRI. Govee lists 97 scene modes and 16 music modes, DreamView sync with other Govee lights, and AI Lighting Bot 2.0, which turns a spoken, typed or photo prompt into a lighting effect.
It mounts with acrylic adhesive and has cut marks every 6.5 cm; Govee notes that once cut, the strip cannot be reconnected or extended. Control is through the Govee Home app, the control box or voice, and Govee lists Matter, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and SmartThings compatibility.
