I recently decided to completely remove the traditional lighting in my home and replace it with smart bulbs, panels and switches. Govee is one of the best brands in smart lighting right now and has made a name for itself as an affordable alternative to other smart lighting brands like Philips Hue. However, I needed something other than a smart bulb for my living room. I needed verticality.

Discover the floor lamp from Govee.
Normally it is an expensive option at $150. But luckily Govee has many sales throughout the year, and right now Amazon has the silver version of the lamp for only $80. The black version of the lamp is a bit more expensive and is currently on sale for $100 thanks to a $50 coupon on the site. With these two options, you can choose the version that better suits your home and its aesthetic, while still enjoying a solid, smart home offering.
Like most smart lighting, the Govee floor lamp uses RGB LEDs to create virtually any color you want. We chose green to complement the green in our living room, but it also changes depending on the time of day. What I like about this lamp is its low profile: you barely see it, just a small base and a thin metal line. The focus is on the light rather than the structure.

Another big selling point is the connection to other Govee products. If you have the Govee TV Backlight You can connect all your Govee lights to work in sync when you watch a movie. It’s a lot of fun to have all your lights working in sync when watching a movie like Dune or Mad Max: Fury Road. Even without a backlight, all your lights are easy to control from a single app or Alexa and Google Assistant.
