The key to having good multifunctional lighting is to have both light and music in one device. While the Govee Aura has a built-in microphone for controlling the light to a beat, it requires an external music source. That said, it's a nice little lamp that has multiple lighting profiles and is controllable via the app for many more effects. You can also use Alexa to turn it on and off, as well as from the app regardless of your proximity. The microphone is extremely sensitive, but can be adjusted in the app. As a table lamp, you would need one every 15 ft to create a nice effect in a larger room. If you're using it as a bedside lamp, most suitable for a kids room, a single one might work fine for most effects. For a few bucks more, you could get a floor lamp that would illuminate far more. Given its current price, it really should have its own built-in speaker; it feels hollow enough to fit one.
To summarize, It's a fun lighting toy that happens to dance to music if you want it to. I wouldn't consider it in any serious way, since it's missing the features, look and build quality of a serious product.
