New Govee round vintage-style smart bulbs with Matter released

A new Govee E26 Smart Edison Light Bulb G25 500lm is now available in the US. The globe-shaped smart bulb was released a couple of months after the brand launched the tubular E26 Smart Edison Light Bulb ST19.

Aside from the new, rounder shape, Govee’s E26 Smart Edison Light Bulb G25 is identical to the older E26 Smart Edison Light Bulb ST19. At the centre of the bulb is a COD light strip, in a double helix, generating white and colors lighting effects. It has a relatively high density of 25 LEDs per inch, offering up to 500 lumens brightness and a color rendering index (CRI) above 90. Users can choose from a wide range of colors and color temperatures between 2,700 and 6,500K.

Users can remotely control the Govee E26 Smart Edison Light Bulb G25 via the brand’s app, where there are 64 scene modes on offer, some of which sync to music. There are also features like a timer and a schedule. Plus, the model supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with Matter compatibility allowing it to integrate with many smart home ecosystems.

In the US, the Govee E26 Smart Edison Light Bulb G25 500lm is available in a 2-pack or a 4-pack, priced at $39.99 and $69.99, respectively. Both products are being sold at the brand’s online store, with the 4-pack also available at the discounted price of $59.49 at Amazon. It is unclear when this smart bulb could be released in Europe.
