If you’ve always loved the idea of ​​the Philips Hue Go portable light but can’t justify it $100 + priceRecently, Govee released a much cheaper alternative, which is… Classic Govee table lampAnd she’s already getting her first discount. Now, you can choose the rechargeable smart bulb from Amazon For $63.99 ($16 off), making it less than half the price of Philips’ portable smart bulb.

The wireless light features a built-in 4,800 mAh battery, which can last up to 30 hours with colored lighting enabled, although that drops to about five hours when using brighter white lighting. This isn’t quite the same as the Philips Hue Go, which Philips says can last up to 48 hours on a charge, but on the flip side, the Govee is brighter, offering up to 500 lumens of brightness. It’s also lightweight enough to easily carry from room to room or bring outside, though you’ll need to be careful outdoors as it lacks the Philips Hue Go’s IP54 weather rating for protection against rain and splashes.

Additionally, Govee supports adjustable color temperatures ranging from a warm 2,700K to a cooler 6,500K, and as with many smart lighting products, it offers a plethora of fun colored light effects. You can have it sync with music while hosting 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 also type prompts describing the ambiance you want and the lamp will create matching lighting effects for you. The bulb also supports Matter, which means you can control it through major smart home platforms.
