Govee x Evangelion gaming light kits review
Even as a lover of RGB lighting, I admit that gamer lights have gotten kind of ridiculous, and it's amazing. Sure you can use lighting to have a subtle splash of colour, but if I'm going to have an RGB lit battlestation then I want the works, and wow is Govee's Evangelion themed kit exactly that.
The line includes two different kinds of anime aesthetic wall mount lights, as well as gaming light bars to splash colour all over your room. All together they create a package so over the top even Nerv would be jealous.
Each piece is available separately and comes in its own sealed black box with red imagery from Nerv, the company in the anime. Get past that and you get to the brighter purple packaging themed after Unit 01 with its vibrant green trimmings to match. Inside each set has a little envelope with more Nerv call backs including a QR code to scan to download exclusive themes for the lights in the Govee Home app. I usually prefer minimal packaging but exploring these lights as I opened each box was actually quite exciting. This is one of those products where opening it feels like a part of the experience.
The housings for each light are predominantly Unit 01 purple with themed touches like circuitry or lineart in the matching green. They're quite striking and even if I wasn't a big fan of the anime I think I'd still want these just for the look. It's not that common to find purple accessories, let alone ones this cool to stare at.
