A lovely lamp. Great for colour and mood setting but the big plus is when used for a working light. In either warm or cool white, it is really bright much better that previous smart bulbs I have owned.
I like the Govee system quite a bit, linked up super easy to my google home and has a nice govee app, its super bright and says what it is, I have to recommend as its so simple and I love i
I love that the bulb because it can be controlled with app on your phone. Also, it is very bright and it can be dimmed down if you prefer. Overall it is a great quality product. My daughter is very happy with the bulb.
I absolutely love this so far so good. Super easy to set up through my Google home app or Govee app also. Lots of different themes, colours ect. Can also change to my music playing also. Also bulbs don’t go hot which is brilliant. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend. Great seller too no issues.
Pros:
Simple and easy to use, following the instructions and you’ll be hard-pressed to go wrong. The light itself is much much brighter than expected, for comparison I also have 5m Govee led strips in another room and this one smart bulb is probably comparable to those all on its own.
Cons:
N/A
Overall score:
10/10
These are way better than my old smart lights. The red light is actually red and some blue, purple hybrid like my old bulbs. They’re so much more responsive, worked seamlessly with google home and with touch portal (macro software I use at my desk).
My only complaint is the app. It’s sooo slow and one of the sliders for changing the colour of the light is right where I swipe up to exit the app and when I swipe to exit, I exit the app but also change my bulbs to be blue. So I have to go back in the app and reset the colour and then leave the app carefully without changing the colour. So anyways, now I just use my google home and forget the app exists
Currently my go to brand for bulbs, the integration with triggers is weak and while they have support in theory for a Govee motion sensor you can not, it seems buy one! It is possible although as all things smart home are, possible using a convoluted combination of hubs and other eco system apps such as ittt.
Used for a lamp in the Livingroom. It’s great being to connect to Alexa and is now “voice” controlled. Great when the on off switch Ida little hard to access. The Govee app is simple t set up and connect the lamps. I have found NO issues at all in its setting up and use. Many a great feature through the apps presents and youroen options.
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 only concern with this light is privacy. I didn’t realize it will connect to my Wi-Fi – meaning it is communicating with some servers somewhere and potentially collecting data. I had another govee device – LED strips, and these were communicating via Bluetooth only. At first I thought that it’s not much of a deal, but then I realized lamp can use connected device microphone and that gave me some uneasiness. On the bright side, seems like there is no microphone on the bulb itself, thus this privacy concern potentially can be avoided by killing the app when not in use or restricting microphone usage. Reading online seems like other people are a bit concerned about Govee’s app data collection, but that’s another topic, not fully related to this review.
TL;DR: pretty good quality lamp bulb for a comparably low price. Good brightness on illumination mode, no flickering and colors are vivid.
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.
Even if you just want a standard white light bulb I’d still recommend these, as soft white is the default colour so you don’t even need the app, just plug and play. They pair with alexa flawlessly as do all the Govee products I now have. A nice product at an affordable price thank you Govee.
