My favorite smart bulb is almost half off at Amazon
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.
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 luckily Govee has a lot of sales throughout the year and right now Amazon has the silver version of the lamp for only $80The . black version of the lamp is a little more, currently on sale for $100 thanks to a $50 coupon on the page. With these two options, you can choose the version that best suits your home and its 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 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.
