In this review, we evaluate several LED lighting solutions from GXTrust<\/strong>. As one of the three subsidiaries of Trust International<\/strong> B.V., GXTrust focuses on a comprehensive range of gaming accessories. Recently, they’ve expanded their product line to include three lighting solutions designed for versatile applications, ranging from general room illumination to dedicated gaming setups or even party environments. Unlike lighting systems such as Philips Hue<\/a><\/strong>, these GXTrust lights are not designed for subtle or naturalistic lighting. Instead, they offer impactful and stylish lighting designed to make a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After thoroughly testing these lights through assembly, configuration, and extensive use, we’ve identified several key strengths. However, we also noted some shortcomings that impact the overall user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Common Features<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These fixtures share a number of features. The following is a summary of their common functionalities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All three models offer four control methods: the TrustWifi app, the included remote control, physical buttons on the fixture itself, and voice control via Google Home<\/strong> or Alexa<\/strong> after initial linking. Notably, the digital setup of the GXTrust lights was remarkably straightforward, functioning correctly on the first attempt without any issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A significant drawback is the lack of Matter compatibility. This prevents integration with platforms like a Philips Hue bridge for unified lighting control. While the lights can be assigned to rooms within Google Home, effect customization within the Google Home app is not supported. Consequently, users may need to manage multiple apps, depending on their existing smart home ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GXTrust \u2013 Neon Rope Light<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Neon Rope Light offers an elegant aesthetic and is capable of generating smooth, flowing lighting effects. In some instances, it can even produce a calming ambiance, particularly when paired with soft, ambient music, potentially promoting relaxation and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Neon Rope Light can be affixed to surfaces using the pre-applied adhesive tape on its back or mounted with screws and small mounting brackets. While adhesive mounting may be tempting, it’s worth considering the potential for wall damage upon removal, as opposed to using screws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
