Did We Just Level Up Smart Lighting? (Govee Cylinder Floor Lamp Review)

I think we just levelled up smart lighting, and when you see what the new Govee Cylinder Floor Lamp, I'm betting you'll feel the same way. The way animations are displayed with this new lamp and all the different effects, plus the design and the overall build quality of this #goveefloorlamp is impressive.

As an #rgbfloorlamp that can also produce all the white color temperatures you'd like, Govee's cylinder floor lamp is as quiet a lamp as you'd like but it can be the ultimate smart home centerpiece. I think it's an absolute torch, and it can look that way too!

It really is difficult to argue that any other brand of lighting in the consumer space is even close to Govee. My only complaint is that Govee doesn't like to talk as freely or easily with other standards as it should. If they adressed that issue they really would be the perfect consumer lighting choice.

I’m just couldn’t down the days until Amazon day to buy a couple of these bad boys. Your video cemented it for me. Thanks!

For the life of me can’t think why they didn’t release it in black

[michelleluther]

Nice! I'll wait for it to come out in black. Optic White won't fit into my decor. Thanks for the review! ❤

[oschan]

Bought it thanks to this review, keep up the good work!

Hey man, does the wire really just run along the bottom of the lamp? Does that make it seem slightly off balance? Or is there some way to tuck the wire inside? Great review as always.

So what do you think of the MuJoy Dual-Bar RGBWW Corner Lamp? It was suggested to me on reddit when I was looking u the Govee Cylinder.

[ceekay]

Can I mount the lamp shorter, for example by leaving out a tube?

I suffer from photophobia and i have trouble watching lights directly. Is the light too harsh to look at especially when all white? Thank you (sorry for my bas english since im french)

[Bigglare]

Oh I and I like how you slyly sneak in the Lutron Aurora controlling it. Tell us more about that.

Does it hurt your eyes when used like a lamp at brighter settings? It looks like a big LED bulb, and with any light bulb it’ll hurt your eyes to look at unless it has a diffuser around it.

Just watched, subbed and bought for prime day for $109. What is that knob you are using for control? Thanks

[deadmanwalking]

Just picked this up on sale for £120. Looking forward to it

Thanks for another informative video, Brian. Like others, I like Govee products and have two of their Lyra lights that I like. These folks seem to have great engineering EXCEPT when it comes to compatibility with other systems. I won't be buying any more of their products until they become natively compatible with Homekit in addition to Alexa which they've already done. It's especially frustrating to see them keep putting this off especially since there is already decent Govee compatibility through Homebridge. If users can create compatibility, why can't Govee? I'm not trying to do anything but get them moving on bringing their otherwise great products to the folks ready to buy them.

I don't like how choppy the effects are

[dchang]

can these floor lamps be used as the solo and primary lighting source for a big room? 2 of them? or will the light come out the side be too harsh on the eyes?

[brillest]

Good review! Question... You showed how you can specify different lighting effects horizontally but is it also possible to have lighting effects vertically? For example, I want the part of the lamp which faces the wall to be as bright as possible, but the part of the lamp which is facing me (if the lamp is near a desk) to be not as bright.

HI there i have a question, i just purchased the Govee TV T3 lite backlight with the Govee Cylinder Lamp, when synching them how many zones in dreamview can be assigned to the cylinder lamp ?

[Bally.]

I have been after one of these for a while as have a few products from Govee, Unfortunately not available in the uk

[MarkKeller]

Interesting, does it have a flame mode?
