Govee Adds Matter Multicolour Lamp to Range

HomeKit News has yet to review any Govee products, but their output is pretty prolific right now, at least when it comes to lighting, but also making sure many are also Matter compatible. This is the case with a new multicolour table lamp, as first reported on by our colleagues over at Homekits.de.

As standard with any of Govee’s Matter devices, this uses 2.4GHz WiFi, but as it’s a Matter device, it’ll work with Apple Home. It’s also offers the standard 16 million colours, although as you may be able to tell from the image above, you can actually have multiple colours displayed at once, which also includes warm and cool whites.

What also sets the lamp apart from many others is the fact that you can actually draw designs in the Govee app, which are then mirrored on the device itself. The app also has a ton of multicoloured animated presets.

The lamp has manual controls on top, which allows you to both control the power and brightness, but also switch between standard and animated preset effect. Whilst the lighting in mostly confined to the main body, the lower stand section also features colour, helped in part by the sculpted reflective design. The lamp tops out at 500lm (presumably when set to cool white), which may seem low, but is pretty standard for a table lamp of this size and type.

Currently the lamp is only available in Amazon stores in Germany and the UK, but hopefully it’ll also be coming to the US soon.
