Govee RGBWW Smart Light Bulbs, Colour Changing LED Bulbs

I used these to replace a couple of Philips hue bulbs that had got to the point of not going off completely anymore, a common problem I understand. I thought I would give these a go as the Philips bulbs were a few years old anyway. I paid less than have the price of a single Philips white bulb for both these coloured Govee bulbs. I found the app very easy to use and they linked to my Alexa automatically once I had paired the Govee skill to my Amazon account. The first thing I noticed was that they are brighter than the Philips bulbs but that may be down to the age of those. I like that I can change between warm or cold white and everything in between. I will rarely if ever use the colour changing feature but it is nice to have and works from voice control. The best thing however is how fast they respond to commands, they are linked via wi-fi rather than the home hub and respond instantly to commands unlike the Philips bulbs which always had a noticeable delay. I will definitely be buying more of the Govee brand.

After a love hate few years with Philips Hue system and tear induciong times adding and removing the hue lights from alexa over and over again for it to only work half the time I tried a cheap govee bulb. What a difference, it simply worked out of the box, paired with Alexa and the colours are fantastic. I instantly bagged up ALL of the Hue lights, threw ther bridge out and replaced the entire house with Govee bulbs for less than the price on one Hue colour bulb. every single one has been simplicity and works well. Should have doe it years ago. Sometimes you get what you pay for and other times the lower priced stuff is mazing. Govee is simply amazing. (The rope lights are great too)

The price and the functionality of this lightbulb we Govee app makes me wonder why I never considered more expensive brands. The integration with other systems Google and Alexa is very good, and the bulbs themselves gives a bright, and crisp light with lots of variance in both colour and intensity. The only problem I can see is as a night light. It is still a little too bright, but all the other scenes are very good.

We bought this light about a week ago for a ceiling light and a lamp. We set up the app and tried it out and it worked great, you could set it to party mode or you could put it on meditation mode and relax. They both worked fine for about half an hour but then the lamp bulb conked out, we tried the app and the Alexa and after those didn’t work we contacted Govee who told us to see if it was better in an hour or so and I’m glad to say that it was.

I loved how you could change it to loads of different colours and also how you could set routines like for it to turn on at when you get home from work. you could see all the different possibilities with these lights as you can link them to lots of other smart devices like TV’s and echo’s. Unlike some of the other more expensive alternative’s like Phillips or Samsung smart bulbs these lights are affordable and work just as well. Overall I think its Affordable, easy to set up and good quality.
