If you’ve always liked the idea of the Philips Hue Go portable lamp but can’t justify the Price $100+Govee recently launched a much cheaper alternative, the Govee Classic Table Lampand you are already receiving your first discount. Right now, you can pick up the rechargeable smart lamp at Amazon for $63.99 ($16 off), making it less than half the price of Philips’ portable smart lamp.
The cordless lamp features a built-in 4,800mAh battery, which can last up to 30 hours with colored lighting enabled, although that drops to around five hours when using brighter white lighting. That’s not as long as the Philips Hue Go, which Philips claims can last up to 48 hours on a charge, but on the other hand, the Govee is brighter, offering up to 500 lumens of brightness. It’s also light enough to easily transport from room to room or take outside, although you’ll need to be careful outdoors, as it lacks the Philips Hue Go’s IP54 weather resistance rating for protection against rain and splashes.
Additionally, Govee supports adjustable color temperatures ranging from a warm 2700K to a cooler 6500K and, as with many of its smart lighting products, offers plenty of fun, colorful lighting effects. You can sync it to music while greeting people, or switch between different preset scenes to set the mood, many of which are organized around specific moods and themes like “romance,” vacations, and more. Through the Govee app, you can even type prompts describing the ambience you want and the lamp will generate corresponding lighting effects for you. The lamp is also Matter compatible, meaning you can control it through all major smart home platforms.
