Govee LED Smart Light Bulb
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.
The Sengled B11-N11 offers 800 lumens at 8.7 W, Bluetooth Mesh connectivity, and a 25,000-hour lifespan, delivering Alexa-controlled dimming without a hub. Its exclusive Alexa support and indoor-only design restrict broader smart-home integration. Perfect for Alexa-centric households needing reliable mesh coverage.
