Amazon Prime Day deal: It’s the final hours of Amazon’s Prime Day sale, and we spotted this incredible deal on my favorite smart lamp. The Govee Floor Lamp 2 is down to just $100, a 39% discount, saving you $65. The lamp’s RBG LED lights can be configured to let you create any colors or patterns that you like. But act fast to score this deal, as the sale is ending soon.

Why I like this Govee light in particular
Like most smart lighting, the Govee floor lamp uses RGB LEDs to offer just about any color you want. My family chose green to complement the green in our living room, but it also changes depending on the time of day. What I enjoy 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.
You can put a Govee floor lamp anywhere you need to spice up the lighting in your home.

Another big selling point is its connection to other Govee products. If you own the Govee Backlight for TVs, which CNET’s Russell Holly wrote about here, you can link up all your Govee lights to work in tandem as you watch a movie. Having all your lights working in sync with a movie like Dune or Mad Max: Fury Road is a lot of fun. Even without the backlight, a single app or Alexa and Google Assistant easily control all your lights.
Does the Govee floor lamp make a good gift?
As a big fan of Govee products, I think its lighting makes an excellent gift for others and yourself. If you know someone’s decor style well, the floor lamp would be an excellent choice since it has such a slim profile that would fit every room I can imagine.
Otherwise, an ultraportable, color-changing Govee table lamp that has both in-person tap controls and on-device app controls is also a big winner since the person lucky enough to receive the lamp can bathe themselves in the glow of pretty much any color combination and pattern they can imagine. There are also these Govee color-changing light bulbs that can spruce up virtually any compatible setting.
My buying recommendation
Without a discount, this tall and thin smart lamp is a bit of an investment at $165, but it’s still considerably cheaper than a Philips Hue equivalent. Available in both silver and black, the Govee Lamp 2 is currently 39% off for Amazon Prime Day, bringing its price down to $100. While we’ve seen a deeper discount before, this model is newer and includes Matter support, higher lumen output and additional upgrades over its predecessor. That makes it a no-brainer.
