Govee RGBWW Smart Bulbs, Colour Changing WiFi Bulbs with Music Sync, 54 Dynamic Scenes, 16 Million DIY Colours WiFi & Bluetooth Light Bulbs Work with Alexa, Google Assistant Home App, 2 Packs

​I recently swapped out some old "dumb" bulbs for the Govee RGBWW Smart Bulbs in the B22 bayonet fitting. These are Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled, so they work with Alexa and Google Home without needing a separate hub. ​The Good (Pros) ​The standout feature is the sheer range of colours and the quality of the "WW" (Warm White) light. Unlike cheaper RGB bulbs that struggle to produce a natural-looking white, these can go from a very cozy warm yellow to a crisp, bright daylight white that’s perfect for reading. The Govee Home app is one of the best I've used; it’s packed with pre-set scenes like "Sunrise" or "Movie Night," and the music sync feature—which uses your phone's mic to pulse the lights to the beat—is a fun touch for parties. The connection is very stable once set up, and the integration with Alexa is seamless, allowing for quick voice commands to dim the lights or change the mood. ​The Bad (Cons) ​The initial setup can be a bit of a faff, especially if your router isn't strictly separated into 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, as the bulbs only connect to the 2.4GHz frequency. I had to retry the pairing process a couple of times before they finally "caught" on the Wi-Fi. It’s also worth noting that these bulbs are slightly taller and chunkier than a standard old-fashioned lightbulb, so if you have a very shallow or tight lampshade, they might stick out the top a little bit. Finally, while the white light is very bright, the saturated colours (like deep reds or blues) are naturally a bit dimmer, which is typical for smart bulbs but worth keeping in mind if you wanted a "deep blue" room to be fully lit up. ​Final Verdict: For the price, Govee offers some of the best smart lighting on the market. The app features and the quality of the warm white light make these a fantastic upgrade for any home, as long as you have the patience for the initial Wi-Fi pairing.

This smart B22 bulb is a great upgrade if you want more control over your lighting. Setup was straightforward using the Govee Home app, and once connected you can control the bulb from your phone or with voice assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant. That makes it really convenient for turning lights on or off, dimming them, or changing colours without touching a switch. One of the best features is the huge range of colour options. The bulb supports up to 16 million colours, along with adjustable white light from warm to cool tones. It’s easy to switch between relaxing warm lighting, bright daylight for working, or colourful lighting for gaming or movie nights. Brightness is also very good for a smart bulb. With roughly 800–1000 lumens, it’s bright enough for everyday use while still being energy-efficient since it only uses around 9W of power. The app includes useful extras like preset scene modes, timers, and scheduling, so you can automate lighting for things like waking up in the morning or dimming lights at night. There’s also a music-sync feature that changes colours with sound, which is a fun touch for parties or gaming setups. Pros: • 16 million colour options and adjustable white tones • Works with Alexa and Google Assistant • Bright and energy-efficient LED • App control with timers, scenes, and automation • Fun music sync lighting mode Overall, this is a really versatile smart bulb that’s easy to set up and fun to use. Great if you want to add colourful, app-controlled lighting to a bedroom, living room, or gaming setup.

I'm quite familiar with Govee Lights, as I've purchased quite a variety of them over the years, with this being my most recent purchase. I had LED bulbs previously and decided it was time to upgrade to something with a little more pizzazz. I purchased these, and they arrived the next day (thanks Amazon!) and were packaged in a neat little box, with the bulbs being very well protected. The box included all the warranty, safety and operation instructions. Installation was a breeze, and setup was just as easy (for me at least) since I already had the Govee Home App installed for the other Govee lights I already had. Basically you just switch on the lights, pair them over Bluetooth with the app on your phone (you'll need to pair each light separately), punch in your Wi-Fi password and you're done. The app is also super easy to use, with a plethora of colour, scene, timer and brightness options to choose from. You can also pair it with Alexa or Google through the app for some excellent hands free use. With Alexa you can cycle the colour, brightness and power (with it being very responsive and hassle free), controlling each individual light, or all of them as a group. Just make sure to place them in a group in the Alexa app if you want to control them as a together if using more than one. The bulbs also feature a music function that sees the lights respond to sound/music. I had to take a star away because while it seems like a nice feature on the surface, the responsiveness isn't the best, and you have to keep the Govee app open for it to function, which is a huge let down. It's not a deal breaker, but it's a very odd design choose. Still, these are some great lights that I highly recommend.

Reliable, versatile smart bulbs with excellent color options I’m a real Govee fan and have many of their lighting products, both indoor and outdoor, and these RGBWW Smart Bulbs B22 are just as impressive. They work seamlessly with Matter, Samsung SmartThings, Alexa, and Google Assistant, making integration with my smart home easy. The bulbs are energy-saving 9W with 800 lumens, and the 16 million colors with 54 scenes let me create the perfect ambiance for any room. Setup was straightforward, and they respond quickly to app or voice commands. Overall, these bulbs are reliable, versatile, and a great addition to any smart home lighting setup. Pros: • Wide color range and multiple scenes, • Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, SmartThings, and Matter, • Energy-saving and bright, • Easy setup and quick response to commands, Overall, high-quality smart bulbs that are versatile, reliable, and perfect for enhancing any indoor or outdoor space.
