I bought 8 Govee smart bulbs when LUMIMAN was out of stock. Not a single one worked.

After complaining on Amazon, Govee sent a full replacement set of 8. Out of those, only 1 bulb worked — and that one died overnight.

So in total: 16 Govee bulbs, 0 reliable bulbs.

For context, my original LUMIMAN bulbs (bought even earlier) are still working perfectly after years of use. I only needed more because I moved.

At first I thought maybe the Govee bulbs had aged in storage, but even the brand-new replacements failed.

Based on my experience: LUMIMAN lasted for years, while Govee delivered a complete reliability disaster.
