I recently committed to ditching all the traditional lighting at my place and replacing everything 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. I needed something different than a smart bulb for my living room, though. I needed verticality.
Enter the Govee Floor Lamp.Â
This lamp is pretty costly at $150, but right now, Amazon is offering it for only $100Â a few weeks ahead of the Prime Big Deal Days sale. Keep in mind, the silver version is available to everyone for $100 when you clip the on-page coupon. But only Prime members can get the black version at that discounted price. With these two options, you can choose the version that better fits your home and its aesthetic and still enjoy a solid smart home deal.Â
Like most smart lighting, the Govee floor lamp uses RGB LEDs to offer just about 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 enjoy 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 its connection to other Govee products. If you own the Govee Backlight for TVs you can link up all your Govee lights to work in tandem as you watch a movie. Having all your lights working in sync with a movie like Dune or Mad Max: Fury Road is a lot of fun. Even without the backlight, all of your lights are easily controlled by a single app or Alexa and Google Assistant.
