Whether you’re looking to liven up an upcoming holiday party or pick up a gift that will literally brighten your loved one’s day, Govee’s Table Lamp 2 Pro X Sound by JBL is a great option. It normally retails for $179.99; however, for Cyber Monday, the hybrid gadget is on sale for a new low of $134.99 ($45 off) at Amazon and directly from Govee.
Govee’s RGB smart lamp can add a splash of color to any space, with 210 customizable LED beads that also provide up to 600 lumens of tunable white light, which makes it a solid reading lamp as well. It can display millions of hues with adjustable brightness and warmth settings, and Govee includes more than 100 preset light scenes — 16 of which sync to music — allowing you to leverage soothing, rainstorm-inspired effects or set more upbeat ambiance that’s perfect for dance parties. What’s also nice is that the Wi-Fi-enabled lamp is compatible with Matter, so you can turn it on and off with your voice via all the major smart home platforms, as well as the app.
What really makes the lamp shine, however, is that you can use it as a portable Bluetooth speaker. While it’s not going to deliver the kind of big sound or deep bass associated with a dedicated party speaker like the JBL Pulse 5, it’s still great for small gatherings, offering loud, clear audio even at higher volumes. You can even pair two lamps together for stereo sound and, thanks to its built-in 5,200mAh battery, easily move it around the house or take it with you to the porch. Just note that it’s not weatherproof, so you’ll want to avoid taking it out in the rain.
