As a self-confessed color addict who tests smart lights for my day job, I couldn’t help but get excited when the vibrant and versatile Govee Uplighter Floor Lamp was released earlier this year.
When I first started testing it, I had the Govee Uplighter Floor Lamp flooding my slanted living room ceiling with breathtaking aurora fabulousness, and now I’m not sure I can do without those pretty hues swirling gently over my head.
While the uplighter is impressive enough on its own, the Govee Uplighter Floor Lamp is no one-trick pony. It offers three independent lighting zones, though it’s only capable of using two at a time at this stage.
The other two lighting zones are the subtle but satisfying sidelight, which is the colorful section within the clear shade, and the dimmable lower light, which can shine as bright as 1000lm and has adjustable temperature, so I could set it to be as bright or warm as I liked, making it perfect for bedtime reading.
I love the combo of capabilities the Uplighter offers. The lower light has been fantastic as a gentle light source on dark evenings, and I can easily switch between having a bright and colorful shade or full-on aurora borealis bliss.
It’s hard not to feel calmed by the pulsating ripples from the Uplighter, and with over 80 scene modes and DIY or AI scene creating tools, you can fine-tune the output to perfection. If your sensory needs mean that you find certain visual stimuli particularly soothing, or someone else in your life does, then this is definitely a smart lamp to keep an eye out for this Black Friday.

At a list price of $179.99 / £179.99, the Govee Uplighter Floor Lamp isn’t exactly a budget buy, but with its convenient and well-performing smart functions and gorgeous, versatile lighting effects, you’re getting plenty for your money here.
Despite only launching four months ago, I spied a fantastic deal on the Govee Uplighter Floor Lamp in the recent Amazon Prime Day sales, with the price dropping by a tempting $40 / £45, lowering it to just $139.99 / £134.99.

Govee isn’t shy about offering discounts, with the majority of their products being discounted at some point or another. With that in mind, and after spotting that great deal on Prime Day, I highly suspect we’ll be seeing a similar price drop come Black Friday.
So if, like me, you have a particular weakness for devices that are pretty and practical, I highly recommend taking a look at the Govee Uplighter Floor Lamp, and grabbing a deal with both hands if it does go down in price next month.
