My Govee Lighting Setup: What I Use in My Space
Published Sep 10, 2025 by Eric Maclean
🟦 1. Govee Glide Wall Lights
These are the centerpiece of my setup. They mount right on the wall and instantly make the room feel more dynamic. I’ve got mine arranged in a zig-zag pattern behind my monitor, and they sync perfectly with my music or game sounds.
Why I love them: When I connect them to LumeAlert, the whole wall lights up in my team’s colors whenever they score. it’s like having a live scoreboard on my wall.
🟨 2. Govee LED Strip Lights (M1)
No lighting setup is complete without LED strips. I have the Govee M1 strips running along the back of my desk and the edges of my shelves. They’re super bright and give off a clean, even glow.
Why I love them: On game days, the strips glow in my team’s colors with LumeAlert. Every goal, touchdown, or home run feels even bigger when the whole desk flashes with it.
🟩 3. Govee Hexa Light Panels
Mounted on the wall next to my TV, these hexagon-shaped panels add a modern, futuristic vibe. I usually run them in my team’s colors on game nights.
Why I love them: The Hexa panels explode with animations through LumeAlert every time my team scores. it turns a regular game into a full-on celebration.
🟥 4. Govee Floor Lamp
Tucked into the corner of the room, this one is subtle but adds depth. It’s great for ambient lighting when I don’t want the whole space lit up.
Why I love it: With LumeAlert, the lamp glows in my team’s primary color during the game and pulses when something exciting happens. it sets the mood without being overwhelming.
🟪 5. Govee Smart Bulbs
I’ve swapped out a couple of regular bulbs in my ceiling fixtures with Govee smart bulbs. They tie into the rest of the setup and lets me fill up the whole room when my team scores.
Why I love them: When my team takes the win, these bulbs flash in victory colors. it’s the perfect way to cap off the night
Beyond Sports
While I use my Govee lights mostly with LumeAlert to bring game days to life, they’re also fantastic outside of sports. Whether it’s setting the mood for a movie night, adding a vibe to a party, or just creating a relaxing atmosphere at the end of the day, these lights are super versatile. That’s what makes them such a solid investment. They’re not just for sports fans, they make everyday moments better too.
