The LED array also acts as a low-resolution display capable of displaying custom images that appear less pixelated as they are softened by the light diffuser.

It also features Govee’s new DaySync system which can automatically adjust the brightness, colors and color temperature of light throughout the day to complement circadian rhythms and reflect your local conditions including the timing of sunrise and sunset.
