GoveeLED Smart Light Bulbs, 1000LM Color Changing Light Bulb, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Light Bulbs, Work with Alexa and Google Assistant, Dimmable RGBWW A19 75W Equivalent Smart Bulbs, 2 Pack

Let’s get the obvious out of the way: if money is no object and you want top-tier smart lighting with rich integrations and full color control, go with Philips Hue. But when I needed at least 24 A19 bulbs, the cost of Hue alone was pushing $1,000 and that’s before adding the BR30 bulbs and required hub. Altogether, I was looking at nearly two grand just to light my new house. I wanted a smarter, more affordable approach that didn’t sacrifice quality.Enter Govee.A few weeks back, I spoke with a business owner who specializes in smart lighting installations. He mentioned he now exclusively works with Govee products and that was all the endorsement I needed to give them a shot.There are currently two “current” versions of Govee’s A19 bulbs available (as of this writing): a 1000-lumen version and a 1200-lumen one. Anything else is outdated. The brighter option costs more than double the price per bulb ($19 vs. $8.50 at the time of purchase). Since both run on the same 2.4GHz Wi-Fi + Bluetooth tech, I chose the 1000-lumen bulbs and saved over $250. For the price, they’re surprisingly bright and very capable.Setup was quick and painless. Honestly, screwing in the bulbs took longer than getting them online. You connect via Bluetooth through the Govee app, and from there, you can get the bulbs to join your Wi-Fi network instead. That said, the app itself could use some polish. It works, and the controls are intuitive, but the interface feels a bit like a no-frills knockoff brand.Once the bulbs are up and running, though, they perform great. Color changing is smooth, and they integrate nicely with Alexa and Google Assistant (though not HomeKit). While you won’t get all the advanced features outside of the Govee app, basic smart home automation works just fine.Bottom line: if you’re willing to spend thousands on lighting, Hue is the gold standard. But if you’re looking for solid performance at a fraction of the cost, like I was, Govee delivers. I outfitted 24 A19 and 12 BR30 bulbs for around $300, and I have no regrets.

I’ve tried several smart bulb brands over the years, and Govee’s LED Smart Light Bulbs genuinely stand out in terms of brightness, color range, and ease of use. From unboxing to full control via app and voice, setup was fast and frustration-free—a big win for anyone who’s dealt with overly complicated smart home devices.💡 Brightness & Quality These bulbs are seriously bright—1000 lumens makes a noticeable difference, even in larger rooms where standard bulbs tend to underperform. The RGBWW design gives you access to true warm-to-cool whites in addition to vibrant color options, which makes them suitable for both ambient mood lighting and practical everyday use.📱 App Control & Smart Integration Connecting to both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth gives you versatility depending on your home setup. I used the Govee app and had both bulbs connected and grouped within minutes. The app interface is intuitive, and automation scenes and scheduling are easy to customize. Integration with Alexa and Google Assistant worked seamlessly—voice commands like “turn on the lights to 50% in blue” executed without delay.🎯 What Stands Out Most:• Super bright (1000LM) output, great for reading or workspace lighting• Quick setup and reliable connectivity• Wide range of color and white temperature control• No hub required — just app and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth🔍 Minor Notes for Buyers: While the app is excellent, some advanced automations require a Govee account, so keep that in mind. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting for those who prefer completely local control.💬 Overall, this 2-pack offers exceptional value and performance. Whether you’re just getting into smart home lighting or upgrading your current system, these Govee bulbs are a strong pick for functionality, brightness, and control. I’ll definitely be expanding my setup with more of these.

I’ve been using Govee light bulbs for a few days and they’ve quickly become one of my favorite smart home products. Setup through the Govee app was simple and connected easily to Wi-Fi without needing a separate hub.The color range is impressive and the brightness levels are more than enough for daily use. I really like how customizable the scenes are, and the scheduling features work exactly as expected.What stands out most is how stable the connection has been. Other smart bulbs I’ve tried would randomly drop off the network, but the Govee bulbs have stayed consistent.Overall, these are a great value for the price. They offer a lot of flexibility without overcomplicating the setup or the user experience.

Every light in my house that will take this style bulb has one of these in them. But this was our hased for my brother he kept telling me no I don't need em that's stupid and I finally ordered him some and he's said "ok these are pretty sweet I love being able to turn off lights in the other room from my phone you got me." So yeah I recommend these to anyone. 5 stars

I’ve been using the Govee 1000LM for about two months in my home office and bedroom, running them daily. They’ve added a dynamic touch to my lighting setup, offering both functionality and ambiance

Finally light bulbs that work properly on Bluetooth connection alone. I’ve tried so many color changing lightbulbs and they never fully work the way they’re supposed to, a big reason being they all need 2.4 GHz WiFi which I’ve never had. These lightbulbs require that if you want to do certain functions, like turning them on no matter where you’re located, but all I want was for them to change color, as bright as they can go, and be able to do it on my phone. The app is easy to use as well, absolutely in love with these.
