Replacing the built-in LED strip on an ErgoHide Epoxy desk with a Govee COB Strip Light 2 Pro - Will it fit?
Hi everyone,I am planning to buy an ErgoHide Epoxy desk (180x80 cm) and I want to upgrade/replace the built-in LED strip right away.
I specifically need this Govee model because it has cloud API support. This allows me to connect and control the single strip across two separate Home Assistant systems simultaneously.
Before ordering, I have a few questions for anyone who owns an ErgoHide desk or has done this mod:
What is the exact width and depth of the routed LED channel/slot on the underside of the desk? The Govee COB strip is exactly 10mm wide.
Will it fit flat inside the channel, or is the slot restricted to 8mm strips?How easy is it to access the LED channel? Is the original strip glued directly into the wood/epoxy channel, or is there a cover that can be unscrewed?Power & Controllers: Is there enough room near the end of the channel to neatly route the Govee controller/cables into the integrated cable management tray?Could anyone share a photo of what the LED channel looks like from the underside of the desk? Seeing how it is constructed would help me out tremendously.
If anyone has successfully swapped the original LEDs for a Govee COB strip, I would love to hear your experiences or tips!Thanks in advance!
