UpDown 2 vs Wall 2

Both are Govee wall lights, the UpDown 2 a cost tier above the Wall 2. The difference is one cone or two: the UpDown 2 lights up and down at 600 lm each, while the Wall 2 washes in one direction at 1500 lm.

Govee

Wall 2

2 LIGHTS · 1500 LM EACH · IP65

The single-direction version: a flat panel that washes the wall it is on. Brighter on paper than the UpDown at 1500 lm, but it is one cone, not two, which is the whole difference between them.

The differences that matter

Direction: the UpDown 2 throws a cone up the wall and a cone down it from one box. The Wall 2 is a single-direction flat panel that washes the wall it is on.
Brightness: the Wall 2 states 1500 lm per light against 600 lm for the UpDown, though the UpDown lists 1200 lm a pack across both cones.
Zones: the UpDown has 4 addressable zones and the Wall 2 has 2, so the UpDown can colour more separately.
Accent: the UpDown adds an RGBIC accent strip and lists 2700K to 6500K white, Alexa, Google and Matter.
Weather rating: the UpDown is IP66 and the Wall 2 is IP65. The UpDown is listed for beside a door or on garage piers, not along the roof.
