RGB LED lighting is all the rage and the Dutch company has taken advantage of the growing interest in this technology to expand its catalog with the Trust GXT 902 VYBZ, a set of light panels in the shape of hexagons which are characterized by very easy installation and configuration.

As many of our readers already know, this is not a new product. RGB LED lighting systems of various shapes have been on the market for a long time, but with this product The trust sought to differentiate offers a balanced solution that combines good build quality, low weight and high-quality RGB LED lighting.

I know many of our readers are turning to this type of RGB LED lighting systems to customize their rooms and workspaces, so I wanted to try out the Trust GXT 902 VYBZ kit. In this article I will tell you my impressions and everything you need to knowso don’t stop reading, I’ll get straight to the point.

External analysis and first contact

The Trust GXT 902 VYBZ construction kit consists of a total of 9 hexagonal parts. It is no coincidence that the Trust chose this shape, it allows to create different patterns in an easier way and also covers a larger area and can accommodate a better lighting system.

And speaking of quality, every hexagon it is very lightbut the sensations it conveys to the touch are good and I did not notice any weak points. Despite their lightness, the structural strength is good and they are designed to be configured and installed in a very simple and intuitive way thanks to the contact system that It is inserted by pressure.

It’s very simple, hexagons have a total six contacts on the back that we can use to interconnect. This makes it easy for us to create different shapes and patterns, although in this case, since we have 9 units, I think one of the most prominent is the straight line ending in a circle, which is the one I’m going to show you in this analysis. .

In addition to nine hexagons, we can find a kit of arrow links which indicates the direction in which they should be placed, set double-sided adhesives to stick the hexagons on the wall if it is smooth, power adapter, remote control and main control.

If we want to install the Trust GXT 902 VYBZ kit on a wall that is not smooth we have a set of screws which will be placed in the contact link areas. There are other options, if you don’t want to put nine screws in the wall, you can put a smooth sheet of paint you like, screwed or on a hook and stick on it, for example, hexagons.

The remote control is simple, but it does its job, even if it is we can use a free mobile application available for iOS and Android to control the Trust GXT 902 VYBZ kit. It is very simple and intuitive and very light.

Experience of use

We have it in the box everything we need To configure and install the Trust GXT 902 VYBZ kit, we will only need a screwdriver in case we do not want to reach for double-sided adhesive to attach the hexagons to the wall.

The first thing we need to do is think what shape we want to create with hexagons. For this analysis, I’ve decided on a small straight line ending in a circle because it’s a surface that I quite like and that I think looks very good.

Once we are clear about the shape we need connect the hexagons one by one. We use connectors for this, which must be oriented in the direction indicated by the arrow. The first is located in the main control. These connections transfer signal and power to each hexagon and snap into place.

Links are very easy installation, and if we make a mistake, we can easily remove them without having to worry about breaking them because they are quite flexible. Once we have all the hexes plugged in, we plug the socket into the socket and check that they all turn on correctly. In my case, everything went well the first time.

Once we have checked that everything is in order, the next step is to download the dedicated Trust application for iOS or Android, depending on the smartphone we have. We can do that control more deeply lighting hexagons and creating new patterns and effects in a very simple way.

We can also use the included remote control, but it is much more limited and in the end the best option is to use the app. This app It will automatically connect to hexagons and our Wi-Fi networkwe will only have to wait a few seconds for the process to complete and that’s it. There are no major complications, but I recommend being close to the router, otherwise the process may fail.

The quality of lighting offered by hexagons it is very good. We can regulate the brightness intensity and create a large number of effects and light cycles with different colors. Each hex can display a different color so rainbow type effects are completely viable and with different cycles and paths.

With this kit, we have so many customization options that we can create different lighting environments with just a few touches. Light coverage and brightness meet expectations and in general The feelings that the kit conveys are positive.

Final remarks

In general, the build quality of the set is good and the same can be said for the lighting it offers. This is it fully customizableboth by color and route, effects and intensity, and the dedicated app has everything we need to get the most out of the set.

It’s also very easy to build and use, and like I said, it comes with everything we need so we can have it up and running in minutes. A good product that has only one “but” and that is the selling pricewhich undoubtedly could have been tweaked a bit more which would have made it much more competitive.

Today we can find many solutions with very different prices on the RGB LED lighting market. The Trust GXT 902 VYBZ does many things well, but it’s positioned in a price range that is, frankly, complicated, because we are talking about a product that costs 129.99 euros including VAT.
