My favorite smart bulb is almost half off during Prime Day
I recently decided to replace all the traditional lighting in my home with smart bulbs, panels, and switches. Govee is one of the best brands in the smart lighting business right now, and has made a name for itself as an affordable alternative to other smart lighting brands like Philips Hue. It made perfect sense to check out the company’s products, especially on Prime Day.
This story is part of Amazon Prime DayCNET’s guide to everything you need to know and how to find the best deals.
Meet the Govee floor lamp.
Normally it’s a pricey option at $150, but on Prime Day Amazon has lowered the price to $90. A black version of the lamp is available for $100as long as you use the $50 coupon (instead of the previous $40 coupon). With these two options, you can choose the version that best suits your home and aesthetic and still enjoy a solid smart home deal.
Like most smart lighting, the Govee floor lamp uses RGB LEDs to provide 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 can barely see it, just a small base and a thin line of metal. The focus is on the light rather than the structure.

Another big selling point is the connectivity to other Govee products. If you Govee Backlight for TVs you can connect all your Govee lights to work together while watching a movie. It’s really fun to have all your lights working in sync with a movie like Dune or Mad Max: Anger RoadEven without backlighting, you can easily control all your lights with a single app, or with Alexa and Google Assistant.
