I recently decided to get rid of all the traditional lighting in my home and replace it with smart bulbs, panels, and switches. Govee is one of the top 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. It made perfect sense to check out the company’s products, especially during 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.
Enter the Govee lamppost.
It’s normally a pricey option at $150. But this Prime Day, Amazon has reduced the price to $90. A black version of the lamp is available for $100provided you use the $50 off coupon (instead of the previous $40 coupon). With both options, you can choose the version that best fits your home and its aesthetic while still getting a solid smart home deal.
Like most smart lighting, the Govee floor lamp uses RGB LEDs to deliver pretty much 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 love 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 all your Govee lights together to work in tandem while you watch a movie. It’s a lot of fun to see all your lights working in sync with a movie like Dune Or Mad Max: Fury RoadEven without backlighting, all your lights are easily controlled by a single app, or by Alexa and Google Assistant.
