At CES 2026, Govee rethinks what smart lighting should actually do
By Jay Bonggolto — January 4, 2026
Govee is pushing adaptive, AI-assisted lighting with LuminBlend+ (16-bit precision and RGB-to-white blending), AI Lighting Bot 2.0 for conversational scene creation, and DaySync for circadian-aware color and brightness. New flagships—Floor Lamp 3, Ceiling Light Ultra, and Sky Ceiling Light—aim to make lighting proactive, precise, and mood-aware, with SmartThings and Matter support broadening ecosystem fit. It’s a step from app-driven control toward lighting that anticipates your day.
