I didn\u2019t give it enough credit in the video, but it was one of the best I tested. <br>\u2713 Very bright. Sure it\u2019s a bigger bulb at A21, but the white colors are extremely bright. The warm whites were not as bright as the cool whites. <br>\u2718 One really weird thing is when dimming the bulb on a cool white it gets warmer as the brightness decreases. At 1% brightness it\u2019s almost as warm as it gets. I tested this both on the Cree app and connected to Smart Life, and they both did the same. If the bulb is at full cool white and dimmed then it stays cool. I\u2019m not sure if this is a bug or by design. <br>\u2718 The colors weren\u2019t as bright as I would have liked.<br>\u2718 The minimum brightness was much higher than others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"Govee_RGBWW\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2XYWdYl\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Govee RGBWW<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/smarthomesolver.com\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Govee-bulb-1024x669.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smarthomesolver.com\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Govee-bulb-1024x669.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/smarthomesolver.com\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Govee-bulb-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smarthomesolver.com\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Govee-bulb-1536x1004.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smarthomesolver.com\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Govee-bulb-2048x1338.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/smarthomesolver.com\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Govee-bulb-scaled.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2713 The white colors look great.
