Kreatives farbenfrohes LED -Umgebungslicht

I'm totally new to RGB lighting and this is my first chance at trying out a product like this: VZF's NEO 1 is an ambient RGB light bar that reacts to music and sound from the environment.

UNBOXING

The unboxing experience is pretty nice, I liked the materials of the box and it contains all we need: the ambient light bar itself, a power cable, a little pice of plastic supposed to be a stand to prop the light bar up and some adhesive paper to stick the light bar wherever you want.

There's also a piece of very high quality paper with instructions and a QR code for the use of the light bar: they're only in Chinese, so I had to use an app to translate the content. The QR code redirects to a WeChat service probably, but I don't have a WeChat account and weren't able to create one, so probably I'm missing out on some features of this light (this is most probably to activate the 1 year warranty). Problem is WeChat is not really something used outside of china, so I think no one in the west probably could really use the light bar to the maximum of his potential.

FEATURES

There's something that immediately threw me off: for some reason I thought this was a battery powered device, so after the unboxing I tried immediately turning it on, with no luck, and only after connecting it to a power source thanks to the included usb-a to usb-c power cable I was able to turn it on and start experimenting.

The device presents two light sources, the biggest one on the front and one smaller on the…

The packaging was pretty decent. The instruction manual was completely in Chinese which made it hard to understand but I just translated it. It picks up noise and the light works based off of it. Its pretty cool when you go for road trips or during a karaoke session to lighten things up. I wish we could use it independently as a light source though. That feature would've made it soo much better. Also the option to use it on battery instead of always having a power source would've made it better.
