    A Groovy Govee Hi-tech Programmable Lava Lamp

    The Govee RGBICWW Smart Table Lamp is a great addition to work desk, living room, or bedside table. After plugging in the lamp and trying out the controls on the top, I downloaded the Govee Home app onto my iPad. I added the smart lamp to the app and created a user account. The app asked if I wanted to be a Savvy User to enjoy more privileges. Well, I guess, and accepted. After accepting, the app displayed what Savvy User's receive. (Special promos, etc.) Personally, I would think it would be good to show this first. But, there is a "Yes, sign me up!" confirmation button on this form. I confirmed and then selected the smart lamp from a list of devices. The app connected to the device and allowed me to change the device name. Next came a connection to my Wi-Fi network and then a version upgrade to the app. This only took a minute. While the lamp itself has some nice basic functions from the controls on the top, the real power of this smart lamp is in the Govee Home app. Be forewarned - you're going to spend a lot of time playing with all the possible settings from the app. My only complaint is the lack of instruction of how to use the DIY mode. It took me about an hour to figure it out. Once I did, I was thrilled to create a mode based on an evening I spent in a Seattle night club listening to Jazz. I grabbed the colors from a photo of that night and used the music mode to create the DIY. Then I shared my creation with the Govee community. The app also comes with the Govee Light Studio for viewing the DIY creations shared by other Smart Lamp owners. Device Features • On/Off button. • Music Mode button steps through different music response modes. • Switch button steps through different colors. • Brightness increase and brightness decrease buttons. • Over 16 million color options. Govee Home App Features • Provides remote control of the Govee devices. • Effects Lab for selecting colors and themes. • Timer for setting On, Off, Wake up, and Sleeping timers. • Brightness setting from 1 to 100%. • Mode selections are Music, Color, Scene, and DIY (Do It Yourself). • Music mode syncs colors with the device mic or phone mic, with options for mood, sensitivity, and color ranges. • Color mode for setting the current color based on manual color selection or from the phone camera. • Scene mode for setting the lamp activity based on themes and mood. My fav is Kitchen Aromas. • DIY mode for designing your own color schemes and movements. Includes finger sketching, or selecting from any of the available modes. Overall, I am very happy with the Govee Smart Table Lamp. This is an amazing piece of technology that is now integrated with some of my life activities. I have two recommendations for making this a better product: One: Provide some instructions on how to create DIY modes and Two: Make this a rechargeable portable lamp for easy movement without bringing the cord.

    What a cute smart lamp. This lamp is not only useful as an adjustable light, but is so cute with all the different scenes you can enjoy. As a table lamp for lighting purposes you get all the adjustments as you would any other smart light, from bright white to nightlight dim. And all the RGB colors too. But that's just the beginning of this lamp. Once you open the app, you'll see plenty of options. Music mode where you can adjust and set your color scheme, sensitivity, brightness. It works very well picking up the music and the dancing lights are fun. Scenes, there are so many scenes to choose from. From sunrise to dreamland there is something for everyone. Pacman chasing dots, a tank of fish, or just one goldfish if you prefer. A fire, a train, or just some soothing floating clouds. Whatever your mood you're sure to find something to match. If not, and I can't imagine you won't, there is DIY mode. Set your own colors and save them. If you have a color theme in a room and want to match it, take a photo with camera color recognition. And, of course, since it's a smart lamp you can set it up with Google or Alexa to use voice commands with. Everyone will want one for their own room. So cute.

    The Govee – Aura Smart Table lamp is a simple, FUN take on a desk lamp. I honestly was not expecting this much functionality out of a desk lamp (even if it is SMART). The overall setup was extremely easy (props to Govee). Inside the box you have your normal literature, the power cable, and the lamp itself. Once you plugin the power to the lamp and then into a power socket, its on! After, you need to download the Govee Home app from your app store, follow the setup instructions (which take around 5 minutes or so), and start customizing. The app comes with pre-installed color profiles that you can choose from, which are separated by different categories. You can have the colors change based on your current mood, the music you are listening to, or one of the 16 million color options. The app itself is sort of a remote of the lamp, which is cool. It has sleep times, brightness adjustments, and even a DIY color scheme that you can share with others, which is a simple, but brilliant idea. Overall, the lamp is a blast to use, and I could not be happier with its functionality. Excellent work, Govee.

    This is my newest companion to a good nights sleep. The center button on top allows me to turn the table light on for night time trips to the bathroom. I have the tier set to gently wake me before my alarm goes off. Like the morning sunrise. I can even have it slowly turn off at night by using the 15 minute timer that dims the table lamp. For more playful times, the microphone picks up the ambient sounds and provides a Kaleidescope of colors. Using the app to create or call up scenes is handy. Govee Aura is Alexa and Google Assistant responsive. I have either turn my lamp on or off without having to touch it. Very handy when entering a dark room. Even handier when leaving in the morning and can't remember if I turned it off. Just ask Alexa to do it. A few of the cool uses I found was the CANDLE scene. Just like it sounds, the dinner table's new center piece flickers like a candle. perfect for late night patio parties. (Just bring it in at the end of the party. Its not water proof.) Makes a great reading lamp. Pefect for mood lighting when watching TV.

    The best light ever!!! We received it couple of days ago and decided to use it for a few days before we can use it. It has a very modern, premium look that goes well with Apple devices. It's not bright enough to light up a room, but it works for what I want it for. We use it mostly as bedside light and then as night lamp in my kids bedroom. Packaging was great, it came nicely packaged and has two things, the power cord and the lamp. The lamp is in a glass shell which seems pretty well built. Installation was pretty straightforward. This is my first Govee product, so I did not have the app which I downloaded. You then open the app, it shows up as a new discovered light, follow the prompts and then it gets added there too. ( This is required for Google and Alexa compatibility). There are 5 buttons on top face of the lamp: 1 power button (turns on/off), two buttons to increase/decrease brightness (remembers the last color/brightness),1 button to switch to music mode and 1 button to switch between modes (see pics). It provides a natural light and I can change the color via the app or Amazon Alexa or Google home or if you don't want to use any of the above, you can just use the buttons. I've only linked it up with google home and so far had no issue while using it with voice command. Pros: 1. The lamp is very easy to use. 2. There are infinite light combinations. 3. You can turn on the lamp in any color in the morning and in the night (low brightness in the night, high brightness in the morning, different colors) 4. The Govee app is as easy as it can get. It's pretty good for putting any color you want, its just works flawlessly, the ability to change the white light is pretty nice too. It's pretty bright too. Cons: I can’t think of any at this point, I have used the product for a few days, if there are any issues I will revisit and update the review. This lamp has become a big hit and we are planning to buy more for other bedrooms! It's a great product and works very well! I am very pleased with this. I would highly recommend it to others.

    Aura RGBICWW Smart Table Lamp - GOVEE Govee’s 21st century table lamp is a mood changer. Although it has a great collection of pre-programmed light scenes, it has a DIY mode that lets me pick my own colors, or draw patterns which are then applied to my light. (I wish there were more complete instructions about this. I’ve got to do some research because it looks great.) Turn the Govee Aura on with the top panel power button or use the downloaded GOVEE App. After I linked it to my Google Home I could even control its features with the typical voice commands. (It works with ALEXA, too) This is especially useful when using the lamp at your bedside. From the App I let the Govee Aura pulse to music it “hears” with its built-in mic. Or, instead, I could select from 43 pre-configured light scenarios that ranged from subtle and soothing to more vibrant, hyperactive rhythms. Brightness or color saturation are all easily controlled with the dimmer setting. It’s fun. It works reliably. It adds immensely to a party, an after-dark backyard poolside setting or a romantic dinner. Hey, you can just create a relaxing setting for yourself after a long day. The App lets me create a schedule, so I don’t have to think when I’m suffering brain drain. Like I said, it’s fun.

    A fun and useful lamp

    When I was young, I always wanted to have a lava lamp but never bought one since I couldn’t justify purchasing a device that only performs one non-essential thing. The Govee RGBICWW Smart Table Lamp is basically the modern equivalent of a lava lamp that can also function as a regular table lamp. The package comes with the smart lamp, a USB-C power adapter and a user manual. Setup was very simple and consisted of downloading the Govee Home app to your phone, setting up an account, plugging in the lamp and connecting the app to the lamp. I found the process to be very easy and quick. It was also simple to link my lamp to Alexa and now I can control the lamp with my voice. With Alexa, I can turn the lamp on and off and have it display any color or scene. The app comes with a lot of pre-built effects/scenes and features and you can also create your own effects/scenes. You can set a timer to have the lamp help you wake up or go to sleep as it gradually brightens or dims the light. The lamp allows you to adjust its overall brightness. You can also set the lamp to respond and sync to music to create a fun atmosphere. If the pre-built effects/scenes are not exactly what you want, you can even create your own scenes. You can choose from many different colors, movements (clockwise, counterclockwise, up, down, twinkle) and speed. You can even use your finger to create custom shapes (such as drawing the shape of a heart) and the lamp will actually start displaying that shape. The one thing that I noticed was there seemed to be a small dead cylindrical region with the movement of lights. I don’t notice this when using the lamp as a regular table lamp where it just displays a stable white light for reading. But for other light modes where there is movement of lights, there is a cylindrical region where the moving lights never seem to go. In other words, the moving lights don’t seem to be able to sweep the entire 360 degree circumference of the cylinder. Overall, I found the Govee RGBICWW Smart Table Lamp to be a fun and useful device.

    Digital Lava Lamp? Yes, Please!

    A very cool addition to my smart home collection! I find it to be more of a digital lava lamp than your typical room lamp. It really shines in its ability to display complex defused LED patterns. Switching the unit to solid colors does yield enough light to add illumination to a room, but where’d the fun in that? The companion app is easy enough to use for its basic settings and to get going. Do a little reading and spend some more time in the app and you can take advantage of some cool advanced features. From brightness control to custom colors and effects, to a music more that can use either the built in or phone mic to take its cues. The construction feels a little cheap to me, but considering the price, I think it can be overlooked. The physical lamp buttons on nice to see in a world app only controlled smart devices. I found myself using the On/Off button rather than the app regularly. Hardware buttons also include scene switching and brightness control. Overall, a cool buy to help add a little ambiance to a desk or bedroom. Not exactly a game changer, but something I would recommend to anyone looking for a cool RGB room addition.

    Light Up Your Life a Little!

    I’m a total sucker for smart devices and lights, so obviously this Govee Aura lamp was an easy choice for me to try and it didn’t disappoint. The Govee Aura isn’t very big and primarily constructed of plastic. It comes with a power adapter and weighs next to nothing, so I wasn’t really expecting much when I took it out of the box. What it ended up being was one of the coolest little lamps I’ve ever had the pleasure to play with. First off you’ll want to plug it in and download the Govee Home app. That will allow you to pair the lamp with your phone and eventually get it on your wifi network if you want to control it with something like Alexa. This process was super easy and the app will guide you through it without any issues. There was a firmware update for the Aura that actually provided a few more “scenes'' for the lamp, so that was a nice surprise. Once you get into the app, it will allow you to turn it on and off remotely, adjust its brightness and select its different modes. It also lets you create your own designs right there on the app, which I haven’t played with because I don’t have a creative bone in my body and don’t like the feeling of shame. The modes let you cycle through different color and movement patterns, which range from pretty simple to intricate. Some patterns look and act like a lava lamp, while others mimic falling snow or a fish tank. Yes, this is as cool as it sounds, but you can totally just use this as a basic RGB lamp or have it set to a static color. The brightness of this lamp really surprised me as I didn’t expect it to get as bright as it did. I actually had to turn it down to about 50% so it wasn’t hurting my eyes in a dark room. This will definitely fill a room with color and the coolest part of this lamp is that it has a microphone on it so that the lamp reacts to sound. This means that when you’re vibing to your favorite music, your lamp can pulse, quiver and strobe to the beat. Being that I’m a boomer, I turned that off right quick, but you may really enjoy this feature. Maybe I was just too sober to truly enjoy it, but I’m glad the feature is there and even has an option to use your phone as the microphone, in case you’re a little further away from the lamp and it’s having trouble picking up sound accurately from it’s onboard microphone. Overall this lamp is a pretty awesome addition to any game room or office. I can’t see anyone not enjoying the Govee Aura to be honest. Sure it’s not a bluetooth speaker or able to be used wirelessly, but it’s a fine lamp with a multitude of colors, patterns and options that won’t leave you disappointed. I’m only going to knock a point off for it’s construction, because at the advertised price I definitely think the build quality could have been just a little bit better.

    Love this little lamp. Recently I've become a huge fan of Govee products for the living room area. Decided I wanted to get some cool lights in the bedrooms and replace some super old "bulb" lamps. I purchased 3 of these, one for each bedroom and I have to say they are great. They are plenty bright, and the scenes are great. I only have 2 complaints. 1 1. The app is a bit cluttered and confusing but that isn't specific to this light itself, that is more of a Govee issue. 2. The prices change worse than gas prices! Literally every other day there is a different price. $45 seems to be the lowest price for this lamp, so I wouldn't buy it for anything more than that.

    This is the neatest tech product I've acquired in years. First, set up was a breeze. Second I can't believe how many features this "desk light" has (shared between many Govee "Smart" products). I frequently complain about things that could be improved by manufactures/developers. Well for possibly the first time I've run into a product with so many features, functions, options I'm truly impressed. And this table lamp might be the single product that they offer that can take advantage of so many of the features. I don't know the density of the led's inside this lamp, but it is sufficient to give you a 360 degree "moving light bright" type image, although more abstract, but that's fine. First I watched it dance to the music (in 4 different ways, which can be adjusted) I was mesmerized, since my college days I've always wanted a light that truly responded to music/sound. Now I have it and want another. I could stop right here, I'm so satisfied with its different settings responding to sound, it awesome, get one you won't be disappointed. But the software does so much more, withing the color setting you can literally pick any color you want or you can use your phones camera to select a color from an object. Then you get into scenes, where there are currently over 50 predefined scenes (based on Nature, Life, Emotion & Repose). All are interesting. Then you get into a section called DIY that allows you to create you own scenes, near as I can tell there are not any limits you can create and name as many as you'd like. This could be used like finger painting with younger kid or to help develop the artist in older kids. Make mom something special for Mothers day, make a theme for a party, a centerpiece for Christmas etc, etc. This gets into another embedded app called Govee Light Studio, which allows you to upload images (shared or private) that could be incorporated as a part of your drawing/scenes. It has a sections called: AI Image effects, Color Treasure bag and Color and Personality, this studio offer so many ways to be creative, and then bring those ideas in to you smart light, or to be used with other Govee Smart light products, the options are enormous and the ability to share them with multiple other smart products, means this could grow and grow. You get a world of opportunities with this smart table lamp. But back to my dancing music....

    The Govee - Aura RGBICWW Smart Table Lamp is a great addition to any smart home setup for it's cool colors and features and it makes me look forward to the future of smart home products. The Govee smart lamp is very light and has different programmed buttons on the top of the unit that allow you to cycle between colors or just plain white light as well as adjust the brightness. There are modes that react to sound, and you can adjust the sensitivity in the companion smart app. The app gives you a ton of presets, custom color patterns as well as the ability to update the lamp firmware and pair it to your existing Google Home or Alexa smart home setup. Being able to turn on the lamp with my smart speaker as well as add it to my home routines is great and I'm no longer having to get up to turn off the lamp. There are only a few things that I would want in a future revision such as a dimmer brightness setting as the 1% value on this model is still rather bright and a larger model maybe 4-5 feet tall that you can stick in the corner of a living room or on the sides of a couch and a model with a speaker built in so you can bring the party and good times with you anywhere! Overall, I'm very happy with this smart lamp and am looking forward to future models to add to my setup.

    The Govee - Aura RGBICWW Smart Table Lamp is quite simply, a party ready to start. Simply load the free smart phone app, choose from 43 Scene Modes, Music Modes, or Warm White and you are ready for the festivities. Aura works with Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant. This allows you to control the light hands free. Try this: "Alexa, turn the lamp off in 10 minutes." Aura makes a wonderful bedside light. You can even set schedules, so the light will progressively dim as you drift off to sleep. You can program this lamp to wake you with solid color or flashing lights. My favorite feature is using the built-in mic; this portable desk lamp can coordinate beautiful colors to your favorite music. There are 4 music modes that allow your music to come alive with light. The free app enables full control of the colors, brightness, scheduling, and so much more. Aura measures about 4" wide X 8 inches tall & weighs about 2 lb. When turned off, it has a white appearance that blends with any decor. CONCLUSION: This lamp represents the ultimate "Cool Factor!" The colors are vivid, it complements your "smart home", features a plethora of settings to personalize your experience; there are so many things to love. I highly recommend it!

    This is a fun little LED Table lamp that connects to your smartphone to be controlled remotely. The colors are vibrant and varied. At its brightest, it can illuminate an entire room. The novelty display modes (Aquarium, Snow, etc) are fun to play with, but I can't imagine them being used for an extended time. Most are just blurry shapes moving in a pattern, but it's still a neat feature and is what would be expected for the price point. Added bonus that you can program it to turn on and off at specific times.
