If you’re hoping to turn your living space into something both you and your guests can feel cozy in, you need to invest in good lighting. This is more important than furniture, more important than plants—lighting is what makes or breaks a space. If the only lighting you have are the overhead high-hat fitted with cool white bulbs, then you don’t live in a home. You live in a science lab.
Avoid that sterile aesthetic with some good lamps at eye level or lower, and kit them out with a smart bulb that you can control to the perfect hue. Govee has a four pack of smart bulbs right now to help you on your lighting journey, and right now, it’s been discounted by 28%. The bulbs normally go form $40, but after the $11 savings, you’ll get them for $29. That’s just a little more than $7 per smart light bulb.
Always Match the Mood
These bulbs from Govee are capable of illuminating your space with up to 16 million DIY colors and 54 preset scenes to choose from. Even if you don’t explore the full gamut of reds and blues and greens, just having the ultra precise control over your place’s lighting within the range of cool whites to warm whites is enough to justify this upgrade.
The Govee bulbs are smart home compatible, working with both Google Home App and Alexa. I have a handful of smart bulbs myself which I’ve set to various routines. Mine start by turning on in the morning to a cool and bright white which is great for keeping me attentive and energized at my desk.
Throughout the day, they shift into warmer and warmer tones, while also dimming as the sun begins to go down. The lights around me effectively match my mood and energy level through the day.
I also set up my own specific scenes for watching movies. Even during my binge of the final season of Stranger Things, I gave my lamps a red glow to match the vibe of the show.
You can shift between these scenes without lifting a finger. If you have yours set up through either Alexa or Google Home, you can just ask your smart home hub to change the lighting to whichever scene you have in mind.
Something that’s extra cool is that the bulbs can even be set to synchronize with music. Download the Govee app to gain full customization control over your lighting.
