Govee Debuts $400 Matter-Enabled Sky Ceiling Light

[MacRumors]

Govee today introduced three new lighting products, including theSky Ceiling Light, COB Strip Light 2 Pro, and Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro.

Govee says the $400 Matter-enabled Sky Ceiling Light is a "mood-responsive" light that uses AI Lighting Bot 2.0 to set the color of the light based on the user's mood or request. The light has a 478nm sky-blue spectrum for use indoors when daylight is limited, which Govee claims supports the body's "natural vitality and rhythm." It also offers white light across a 1,000K to 10,000K temperature range, with up to 7,000 lumens.

The $170 COB Strip Light 2 Pro displays custom light scenes using AI text prompts. Govee says users can curate ambient lighting for gaming, parties, movie nights, and more. The light strip has 1,344 LEDs and 16 ICs per meter, plus a triple-layer groove design for smooth output in single-color and multi-color modes.

Govee's Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro feature a dual-layer design with two independently controlled ICs per light head, which allows the top and bottom zones to show different colors and effects at once. Like Govee's other lights, the Outdoor Lights 2 Pro can be controlled with AI Lighting Bot 2.0 and are priced starting at $500.

The Sky Ceiling Light and COB Strip Light 2 Pro will be available from Govee on September 4, while the Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro will launch on September 7.

This is such a random post…
Why is it on here, because of the AI feature?

1,000K to 10,000K temperature range, with up to 7,000 lumens.

These are very good specs. It is a powerful light, and if the materials used don't look like cheap plastic, then maybe the place is acceptable.

But there is no way this is an "AI" light. A phone app is used to control the light, and the phone runs your voice through some cloud-based AI. But if the light uses "Matter," you can use Siri to control it.

Because it's an ad.

Because it's an ad.

It should be marked as one in some way at least…

Absolutely correct. Not an "AI light" at all. It's no more "AI powered" than my Ikea Tradfrii wall sockets. I can merely control them using AI. Assuming you class Siri as AI, of course.

Another example of the AI creep we're seeing everywhere.
