Score: 78/100Rankings
The Govee H6006 is a feature-rich A19 smart bulb offering high-CRI white light and extensive app-driven scenes. Its RGB brightness is modest and it lacks Matter support, which may deter power users. Ideal for budget-conscious homeowners who prioritize tunable white and voice control.
Sengled's Matter-certified A19 bulb provides 800 lumens, 9 W power draw, and 16 million colors via hub-free Wi-Fi, supporting Alexa, Google, and Apple ecosystems. The requirement for 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and a brief pairing window may hinder setup in congested networks. Ideal for users building a cross-platform smart home with vibrant color control.
