Govee Floor Lamp 2 with Matter, RGBIC Warm Cool White LED

This light is fantastic for our smart home
I usually don’t leave reviews, but this light is great. It is simple to assemble and provides enormous amounts of effects and different lighting looks. The fact that it is Matter compatible makes it incredibly versatile for a wide range of smart home platforms. Google Home,Amazon Alexa, Apple Home (which I use), Samsung Smart Things, and I’m sure there are others that I am not listing. I highly recommend it. Also Govee offers amazing customer support. I had an issue with a product from Govee and they immediately resolved it with efficiency. Great company, great product!

Amazing lights!
I bought two of these for my office to help with lighting during early morning or evening hours. These lamps are not only pleasing to look at but are nice and bright. I love how many options you have for lighting with just the remote but you have even more options with the app. The only thing I wish you didn’t HAVE to do is download the app to control them or have 2 lamps to be able to have them both on/off etc. That being said they are amazing lamps, super easy to put together & setup. I did both lamps, install the app & get each lamp setup on there within 45min to an hour. I’m sure we will be getting more Govee products in the future so having the app isn’t too bad though I would prefer not to have an app just for lighting.

Fantastic LED Floor Lamp 2
Wow. This lamp is bright and the white lights are BRIGHT. Lights up my entire car collection. The music feature responds immediately when music is played, even softly. The LED strip is easy to install and the magnetic clip holds the remote securely. Well worth the money.

The Perfect Product
This light is bright and convenient. Can control with my phone. Also has a broad range of colors and even themes or events. Remote is nice as well although I find my phone easier to use. Worth the money.

I own two Govee Floor Lamp 2 units and have been enjoying them. These are really neat lights capable of a wide variety of colourful effects and modes. You can also use it like a normal lamp, too; I’ll talk about that first.It’s a minimalist design that slightly looks like a giant toilet bowl brush. My mother pointed that out, and now I can’t unsee it! But I think the lights look fine. You have a light strip that slots into a groove in the main tube (which you assemble yourself with six tiny screws and an included screwdriver), and there’s a base that itself has several LEDs all the way around it. If you didn’t yet know, every single LED in this lamp is individually addressable, so you can spend all day picking specific colours for each one (in the app) if you want!As a basic light, you will definitely not want the bare LEDs facing you—this light is clearly intended to be used facing toward a lighter-coloured wall or a corner. They are blindingly bright when facing you directly. That said, these lights are rated at 1725 lumens, which you’ll only get at a very specific setting (some shade of warm white), and they don’t really fully light up a room the way a typical lamp might. If your goal is to provide blindingly bright workshop-style lighting in a room, these aren’t ideal—these are much better for indirect accent lighting.That said, for some dim lighting, these are wonderful as you can set them to a wide range of shades of white or colours, and they go quite dim (with some caveats, which I will mention later).There’s an included remote that can be stuck to a clip that you can install anywhere along the shaft of the lamp. The remote is handy for basic, coarse lighting adjustments, switching it on/off, etc., but in most cases, you’ll want to use the excellent Govee Home app, which offers a wide array of features.The Govee app unlocks an insane array of lighting effects, including adjusting the colour of specific segments and the light’s base, preset themes, which can animate and have adjustable animation speed, music mode that can use a built-in microphone to respond to the beat of music, and a “DIY” mode that lets you create all sorts of crazy effects, even using the help of some sort of “AI” LLM. However, my results with that have been underwhelming.I like the “finger sketch” mode that lets you drag across a representation of each LED in the lamp to create extremely specific patterns and colours on all the lights. The control and capabilities that you have from this unit are amazing.The lights’ colours are very bright and vivid. There are also enough LEDs and sufficient diffusion that the colours of different LEDs blend and mix really well. Govee definitely knows what they are doing when it comes to making a product like this, and the quality of the lighting and the app are extremely good.One limitation of this product is that if you want a really specific colour at a really low brightness, the fidelity of the colour you get may be lacking. This is a common problem with RGB LEDs due to the granularity of the adjustments of each of the red, green, and blue components. Unfortunately, I can’t get the “barely there, dim orange glow” effect I sometimes enjoy, as the lights end up looking yellowish or red. This probably isn’t a dealbreaker for most people; you can work around this by “Finger-sketching” a few of the LEDs at around 6% brightness, but then you can’t easily recall this using HomeKit.It’s possible to group multiple of these lights and run them together so that the lights are synchronized. I have two of these, and it’s a great way to use them. In the Govee app, you can create a group and control them just as you’d control a single light, although there are a few features that you don’t seem to get in this mode, like the handy “snapshot” feature, which lets you quickly save and recall a setting.One feature that was important to me was the Matter support, which allows these lights to work with HomeKit. My first attempt to set these up with HomeKit was difficult, and I couldn’t seem to get it paired. After resetting the light, the pairing in the Apple Home app went much more smoothly. If you intend to use Matter or HomeKit, I suggest taking care of that first before setting up the light in the Govee app, which you can do after.That said, HomeKit can’t harness the full potential of these lights. You can turn them on/off, brighten/dim them, and change colours. But what you can’t do is set fancy scenes or effects to recall using Home or Siri, which is a shame. It’d be nice if you could create nice effects or multi-coloured presets and then export them as themes to HomeKit. Nonetheless, Matter integration is useful, as I often just use these as accent lights that show a single colour.Overall, I’m happy with these lights and think the pricing is reasonable for what you get (despite the weird coupon/discount situation that seems to change daily), at around $130 CAD. It’s the price of a couple of Hue bulbs but with way more power and capabilities. For some fun and flexible accent lights, you can’t go wrong with Govee!

Great colors and faster response time than my previous smart lights. Getting more.
