The Great Lighting Revolution: Americans Switch On to Mood-Boosting Home Lighting

Govee's new "Life is Colorful" campaign aims to inspire people to bring more color to their homes as lighting takes center stage in the home experience 

BELLEVUE, Wash., June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Govee, a global leader in smart lighting innovation, today launched its "Life is Colorful" brand campaign, which aims to inspire people to unlock their creativity and express themselves more colorfully at home. A study of 1,000 U.S. consumers commissioned by Govee for the campaign launch shows 96% of Americans now treat home lighting like emotional medicine, officially ushering in the era of "Dopamine Lighting."

"People are discovering that the right lighting doesn't just illuminate a room – it illuminates how they feel," said Eric Wu, CEO of Govee. That's why we're launching our 'Life is Colorful' campaign – because life literally becomes more colorful when you curate the light around you."

The "Dopamine Lighting" Phenomenon

Welcome to the era of "Dopamine Lighting" â€“ where people are looking at how they can boost their mood and well-being through strategic lighting. The study reveals how Americans are prioritizing lighting at home and how lighting impacts mood and atmosphere:

Lighting as Emotional Medicine:

• 96% consider lighting important for creating specific moods or atmospheres
• 71% report lighting has a "strong impact" on their mood
• 67% agree lighting can "make or break" a room's atmosphere

Switching on Wellness

It's not just the impact lighting has on the atmosphere in our homes. People are also recognizing the impact lighting can have on their own well-being. Seventy percent of people are actively reorganizing their homes for relaxation*, and lighting is playing a key role in helping us decompress and relax.

• 84% find dimming lights helps them wind down after intense activities
• 60% feel colored lights before bed help them sleep better
• 55% wake up with more energy after using colored lighting routines

Color Coming Through

As lighting takes a more central role in our homes, Americans are experimenting with colored lights to enhance their spaces. 75% of Americans believe colorful lights create an immersive environment for movies and TV, while 74% say colorful outdoor lights make them want to spend more time outside.

People are also getting strategic about where in their homes colored lights can add to the atmosphere, with 60% stating that colored lighting helps optimize their sleep cycles for better rest.

Smart Lighting Goes Mainstream

Govee has been a pioneer in the smart lighting industry since 2017 through eight years of development and innovation. The category continues to grow, according to the report from Govee. More than two-thirds (68%) of Americans now own smart lighting products and 82% plan to buy more smart lighting in the future.

Guided by a belief in the value of individuality, Govee's "Life is Colorful" campaign empowers users to personalize their homes with lighting that combines aesthetic appeal with practical functionality.

"This isn't just about pretty lights," Wu said. "It's about empowering people to create spaces that make them feel energized, calm, focused, or joyful – whenever they need it. That's the power of truly colorful living."

"Lighting should reflect who you are and how you live. That's why we continue to explore new forms and functions in smart lighting, offering products that fit every lifestyle and space, from cozy indoor spaces to joyful outdoor settings. Our aim is to bring to market products that allow people to feel empowered to express themselves, recharge, and create more colorful lives."

Govee will bring this vision to life through new lighting solutions designed to enrich daily living by creating spaces that feel calm, expressive, and emotionally supportive. Through integrating colored lighting into essential white light fixtures, Govee aims to enable every user to experience a truly elevated lighting experience in everyday life.

From bedrooms and studies to living rooms and backyards, these smart lighting solutions adapt to different needs throughout the day – helping people recharge after long hours, improve focus during work, and set the right mood for meaningful time with others. At its core, "Life is Colorful" is about lighting that enhances how people live and how people feel.

Supermicro Complete and Scalable Edge AI Infrastructure

Retail-centric AI applications require sub-second responsiveness which is only possible, at scale, if data is processed directly at the edge. Supermicro's Edge AI infrastructure enables the deployment of solutions in distributed environments, such as intelligent retail stores and supply chains, to provide a complete solution.

Deploying at the edge presents a myriad of unique challenges in comparison to the data center. Supermicro's broad Edge AI portfolio of products helps customers and partners overcome these challenges while striking the right balance between performance and ROI.

For deployments in harsh environments where conditioned space is not available, the fanless E103 series of products bring AI processing power where it couldn't go before. Supermicro also offers a fanned small form factor E300 series systems with AI capabilities.

When there is a demanding AI workload at the edge, customers and partners can turn to numerous systems capable of holding the latest discrete GPUs for AI acceleration. Ranging from 1U short-depth to larger 4U form factors, solutions can be right-sized to meet the customer's needs by enabling the latest generation of NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell series.

Supermicro Intelligent Store Partners

Supermicro is collaborating with ecosystem partners including Everseen, Kinetic Vision, ALLSIDES, LiveX, WobotAI, and Aible, to create intelligent stores that positively impact day-to-day retail operations as well as longer term supply chain management.

• Everseen's Evercheck solution uses Vision AI to help reduce shrink and improve staff productivity and customer experiences. Built on the Everseen Vision AI platform, Evercheck detects, and deters recovery of unwanted behaviors at checkout, helping retailers recover losses and streamline front-of-store operations.

"Everseen has spent years working alongside some of the world's largest retailers, understanding the realities of the store floor and solving loss challenges where they actually happen," said Joe White, CEO of Everseen. "By partnering with Supermicro and leveraging NVIDIA-accelerated computing, Evercheck delivers real-time computer vision at the edge - transforming store activity into intelligence retailers can act on immediately."

• Wobot AI, focused on building Video AI Agents for the physical world, will be demonstrating how the cameras retailers already own can be turned into systems that continuously observe, learn, and produce usable insight. By converting ordinary CCTV infrastructure into autonomous agents that recognize patterns, identify friction, and surface decisions, Wobot's AI Agents enable retailers to improve day-to-day operations with practical and measurable outcomes.

"By working with Supermicro and NVIDIA at the edge, we're able to deploy Video AI Agents in a way that's scalable, reliable, and focused on real-time operational insight—not experimentation," said Will Kelso, President, Revenue & Growth at Wobot AI.

• LiveX AI - "Retail is entering an era where AI agents become the default interaction layer between brands and customers," said Jerry Li, Co-Founder and CEO of LiveX AI. "With NVIDIA's accelerated AI and Supermicro's edge infrastructure, we can deploy a helpful, human-like AI agent directly in physical spaces—such as kiosks or holograms—bringing the speed, intelligence, and continuity of digital experiences into brick-and-mortar environments. This collaboration makes AI agents usable, in real time, where customers actually are."

• • Kinetic Vision and ALLSIDES are bundling their expertise for a True Digital Twin solution designed to develop, test, and optimize supply chain processes, checkout stations, and other complex systems.

"The combination of Supermicro's high reliability optimized infrastructure and NVIDIA's accelerated computing stack gives Kinetic Vision the foundation to innovate at speed. Together, we are helping retailers move from experimentation to production-ready AI solutions that drive measurable operational and customer experience gains," says Jeremy Jarratt, Kinetic Vision CEO.

Franz Tschimben, CEO at ALLSIDES, adds: "Building on the combined strengths of NVIDIA and Supermicro, we deliver a high-fidelity 3D digital twin data layer for AI training that enables retailers to power applications across the entire retail value chain — from training robots with physical AI, to production and production planning, virtual store layouts and consumer feedback systems, and e-commerce integrations — helping drive higher conversion rates, faster decision-making, and greater operational efficiency."

• Supermicro will also feature Superb AI's retail-focused VSS solution, combining Superb AI's proprietary VLM with NVIDIA AI Blueprint components to enable subjective reasoning capabilities, natural-language search, automated incident summarization, and customer behavior insights across store camera networks.
• Aible will highlight its automated agent solution, which analyzes vast amounts of data across millions of patterns to explain changes in retail KPIs, such as the average purchase amount or number of purchases. Aible will also demonstrate how the latest NVIDIA Retail blueprints can be incorporated into agentic solutions that automatically customize customer experiences and optimize retail operations at scale.

Arijit Sengupta, CEO of Aible, adds, "Today's market and labor conditions are constantly changing. Only autonomous agents can understand and adjust to these ever-changing patterns of customer behavior, inventory costs and supply, and labor access at scale. Working with NVIDIA and Supermicro, Aible brings autonomous agents subject to business user review to the retail edge."

These intelligent retail solutions will be demonstrated by Supermicro and its partners at NRF: Retail's Big Show in New York City from January 11-13.
