Smart light maker Govee used CES 2026 as a platform Monday to introduce three adaptive, customizable flagship products that work in Apple smart homes. The company’s “Lighting the Future” showcase featured Govee Floor Lamp 3, Govee Ceiling Light Ultra and Govee Sky Ceiling Light, all of which are Matter-compliant and Apple Home compatible.
The company also said it formed a new partnership with Samsung SmartThings for ecosystem integration.
Govee unveils new HomeKit-compatibile smart lighting lineup
Govee showcased Govee Floor Lamp 3, Govee Ceiling Light Ultra, and Govee Sky Ceiling Light. They work with the Matter smart-home technology standard over Wi-Fi, which lets them work with Apple’s Home app.
Three new flagship products debut
Govee Floor Lamp 3
The Govee Floor Lamp 3 represents the company’s most advanced floor lamp to date, featuring what Govee calls LuminBlend+ color technology. This system offers an unprecedented color temperature range spanning 1000K to 10000K, from warm candlelight tones to cool, productivity-enhancing blue hues.
The lamp also incorporates AI Lighting Bot 2.0 for personalized ambiance that can adapt to moods and DaySync adaptive lighting that adjusts throughout the day.

The Govee Ceiling Light Ultra breaks new ground as what the company describes as the industry’s first ceiling light designed as a creative canvas. Its 616-pixel LED matrix enables vivid patterns and animations, while enhanced DIY tools allow users to create custom lighting effects. The fixture provides illumination suitable for large family spaces while maintaining color accuracy across objects and skin tones.
Govee Sky Ceiling Light
Rounding out the trio, the Govee Sky Ceiling Light aims to bring outdoor lighting indoors through custom-engineered LEDs and architectural gradient illumination. The design mimics natural daylight and sky tones. That makes it particularly suitable for windowless or enclosed spaces where natural light is limited.

Govee’s new products are powered by three key technology upgrades:
- LuminBlend+ uses a 16-bit precision chip for smoother color transitions and proprietary Gamma calibration to maintain color consistency across all brightness levels. The system’s optimized RGB-to-white blending enables the extensive color temperature range across the product line.
- AI Lighting Bot 2.0 combines Govee’s proprietary technology with generative AI models to create more expressive and emotionally responsive lighting, the company said. For linear products like strip lights, the system learns user behaviors and reacts to mood in real time. For graphic lighting products including curtain and pixel lights, it can generate dynamic, animated visuals instantly.
- Similar to Apple’s Adaptive Lighting, Govee’s DaySync represents the company’s approach to circadian lighting. It offers smart presets that automatically adjust brightness, color and temperature throughout the day. The feature will roll out beginning in April 2026 across Govee’s indoor lighting category.
Ecosystem expansion through Samsung partnership
Govee’s new Samsung SmartThings partnership allows users to manage Govee lighting alongside other connected devices in a unified system. This integration enables automation across different rooms and outdoor spaces.
