We’ve already rounded up the best Philips Hue deals of Prime Day, but if you’re looking for something a little more budget-friendly, Govee’s latest sale is worth checking out. The company has heavily discounted several of its color-changing smart lamps, including the Table Lamp 2 ($53.99, down from $79.99), Floor Lamp Basic ($59.99, regularly $99.99), the portable Table Lamp Classic ($55.99, down from $79.99), and Uplighter Floor Lamp ($125.99, down from $179.99). I own all but the Portable Table Lamp Classic and regularly recommend them to friends.
No matter which lamp you choose, you’re getting a similar experience. Each supports millions of colors and adjustable white light, comes with a variety of preset scenes, and can sync its lighting to music. You can also create custom scenes, schedules, and automations in Govee’s app or control the lamps with your voice using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Plus, with the exception of the Floor Lamp Basic, they all support Matter, allowing them to work with other major smart home platforms too.
The biggest differences come down to size and where they’ll fit best. The small Table Lamp 2 is ideal for a nightstand or desk, while the portable Table Lamp Classic swaps the power cord for a rechargeable battery, making it easy to move from room to room or take outside onto a patio. Just keep in mind it isn’t weather-resistant, so you’ll only want to take it out when it’s not raining.
The Floor Lamp Basic and Uplighter Floor Lamp, meanwhile, are both designed to brighten larger spaces. The minimalist Floor Lamp Basic is the smaller and slimmer of the pair. If you want something more dramatic, the taller Uplighter offers three independently controllable lighting zones that can project different colors onto your walls and ceiling at the same time.
