Philips Hue, Govee, or DIY for reactive and game room RGB/LED lighting?
I'm building an office/game room and even though I'm a grown man in his 40s, I'm still a fan of RGB/LED lighting as long as it's tasteful and not overdone.
I'm using Philips Hue Slim Downlights https://www.philips-hue.com/en-us/p/hue-white-and-color-ambiance-slim-downlight-6-inch/046677609375 in my drop ceiling and I have some Nanoleaf Hexagons https://nanoleaf.me/en-us/products/nanoleaf-shapes?srsltid=AfmBOoo0iiYsSVWTxGGLK4XjeJsP8IhTempX20w4NOwCxUL1XvJkw_6q&variant=46030036664554 on the wall behind my monitor, but I want to **add an light strip behind my desk**, **add reactive lighting behind my PC monitor** and also **add LED lights to some shelves**.
I've built an ambilight system for my TVs using SK6812 LEDs and HyperHDR https://github.com/awawa-dev/HyperHDR (and WLED https://kno.wled.ge ) and it works great so before I add any more lights I'd like to get the communities opinion.
My goal is to use the lights for reactive lighting (during gameplay, movies, music) and also bias lighting.
Do you think Philips Hue is worth the expense (with it's limitations but it's great Hue Entertainment Sync) or just DIY using RGB LEDs and continue with HyperHDR, etc. (or maybe go with something cheaper like Govee)
