CES 2025: Smart lighting brand Govee goes all-in with AI | usagoldmines.com

Sure, Govee has some new smart lights to unveil at CES this year, but what this smart lighting manufacturer really wants to talk about is, of course, the buzzword of the show: AI. 

From its AI-powered gaming lights to its light-scene-creating AI chatbot, Govee clearly sees its budding AI efforts as the best way to set itself apart in the crowded smart lighting market, and the company isn’t being timid about putting AI front and center. 

The star of the show is Govee’s smart lighting-focused AI model, newly upgraded to 12 billion parameters, up from just 0.86B parameters in the previous version  

Trained on more than 10,000 lighting effects, Govee’s model is the brains behind its text-to-image AI Lighting Bot, which allows users to create and edit smart light effects using natural-language text prompts. There’s also AI Dreamview, a Govee technology that applies their newly created effects across groups of smart lights. 

To be clear, Govee does have some actual smart lights to show off at CES, including a new and portable table lamp that doubles as a Bluetooth speaker. 

The Govee Table Lamp 2 Pro x Sound by JBL is a curved, cylindrical table lamp that comes equipped with 210 discretely controllable LED beads, good for serving up dozens of preset lighting scenes or your own AI-aided creations, with brightness topping out at 600 lumens. 

Equipped with a 5,200mAh rechargeable battery, the Table Lamp 2 Pro also packs a JBL-made 2.5-inch full-range driver, along with a pair of passive radiators for “excellent depth of sound and clarity,” Govee promises. 

You’ll be able to pair two of the Table Lamp 2 Pro units together for stereo audio, and the lamp also supports Matter (another big smart home theme at CES), meaning it will work with Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings. 

Govee is eyeing a second-quarter 2025 launch window for the Table Lamp 2 Pro x Sound by JBL, with pricing to be announced later. 

The company is also touting its Matter-enabled Mini Panel Lights, which were released last November. 

The square-shaped panels, which are available in sets of 10 ($99.99) and 20 ($149.99), offer “push-type” connections with a “smart connection system” that can “intelligently recognize” the layout you’ve devised.  

You can connect up to 70 of the Mini Panel Lights together, with each panel packing in 15 lamp beads—and yes, you can apply any of your AI-created lighting effects, along with 50 preset effects. 

Finally, Govee is unwrapping a gaming-focused light panel that displays retro-style pixel art that can be synced to games or music. 

Available in two sizes and complete with an embedded speaker that can emit 8-bit music, the Govee Gaming Pixel Light is a throwback low-resolution yet AI-powered screen that delivers animations at up to 30fps.  

Besides animated pixel art, the Gaming Pixel Light can also display the weather, double as a clock, or dish out sports scores or bitcoin trading prices. 

Like the Govee Table Lamp 2 Pro x Sound by JBL, the Govee Gaming Pixel Light is slated for release in the second quarter of the year, and no price has been set yet.
