My favorite smart bulb is $50 off during Amazon’s Labor Day sale

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 at the moment 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.

Meet the Govee floor lamp.

Normally it’s an expensive option at $150, but right now Amazon has the black version of the lamp for only $100 during the Labor Day sale. The silver version of the lamp is also on sale for $110, but you have to manually check the box to apply the $40 coupon. With these two options, you can choose the version that best suits your home and its aesthetics 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 pair all your Govee lights to work together while watching a movie. It’s really fun to have all your lights sync up with a movie like Dune or Mad Max: Fury Road. Even without the backlight, you can easily control all your lights with one app or Alexa and Google Assistant.
