IFA 2025 in Berlin once again set the stage for groundbreaking announcements in consumer technology, and this year, smart lighting leader Govee took center stage. Known for pushing the boundaries of how lighting can shape mood, ambiance, and daily living, Govee unveiled two industry-first products: the Govee TV Backlight 3 Pro and the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Prism. Both devices promise to redefine how we experience lighting at home—whether indoors during a movie night or outdoors while hosting friends in the backyard.
This article dives into everything you need to know about these two standout products, their features, integrations, and who will benefit most from them.
Before diving into product specifics, it’s essential to note Govee’s philosophy: Life is Colorful. The company doesn’t just see lighting as functional—it views it as a way to enrich daily life, inspire creativity, and bring people together. The IFA 2025 announcements reflect this vision perfectly, showcasing how intelligent lighting can shift from being a convenience to an integral part of emotional well-being and lifestyle design.
Govee TV Backlight 3 Pro Govee
If you’re someone who loves immersive movie nights, gaming marathons, or simply upgrading your entertainment system, the TV Backlight 3 Pro is designed for you.
The standout feature is its HDR triple-camera color-matching system, a first in the industry. Traditional TV backlights use a single camera to capture colors from the screen, but this new setup employs three high-precision cameras with HDR capture capability. This enables 105dB dynamic range imaging, meaning deeper contrasts, richer colors, and sharper reproduction of what’s happening on your screen.
The result? Your wall lighting isn’t just echoing the colors of your TV—it’s enhancing them with cinema-grade accuracy.
Govee has also upgraded the LuminBlend light strip, now featuring high-density lamp beads that are 30% brighter and more evenly distributed. Unlike many competing systems that struggle with whites, Govee’s 16-bit color chips and RGBWWIC five-way light control ensure crisp, cool whites and soft, warm whites that rival dedicated lighting fixtures.
What really sets this backlight apart is Govee AI. Using deep-learning algorithms, the system automatically adjusts white balance and saturation to match not just the colors, but also the mood and style of the content you’re watching. Whether it’s the intense action of an Avengers battle or the quiet romance of a drama, the lighting adapts for a more immersive experience.
Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights PrismGovee
This product is the first permanent outdoor lighting solution to feature a triple-color optical design. Unlike typical single- or dual-color systems, the Prism blends three channels of color seamlessly, ensuring no awkward overlap and delivering smooth, dazzling gradients.
Compared to industry averages, the Prism’s custom LEDs and proprietary chips deliver 150% more performance. Combine this with Govee’s advanced LuminBlend color management, and you get 16 million colors with buttery-smooth transitions—perfect for everything from subtle ambiance to bold holiday displays.
Durability is a major selling point. With:
These lights are designed to shine reliably through rain, snow, heat waves, or festive seasons year after year.
The Prism is engineered for easy cutting, splicing, and extension, allowing it to adapt to various home layouts without appearing cluttered. Homeowners can create professional-grade lighting setups on their own.
Both the TV Backlight 3 Pro and the Permanent Outdoor Lights Prism integrate seamlessly into modern smart homes. Thanks to Matter compatibility, they connect easily with:
To take advantage of this integration, users must ensure they have a certified-Matter controller (such as a Matter smart speaker, hub, or compatible device) to manage communication across platforms. You can use GearBrain Assistant to see if any of your existing smart speakers, hubs, or compatible devices are a certified-Matter controller.
With Govee DreamView, users can also sync these devices with other Govee products for unified whole-home lighting effects. Imagine your indoor and outdoor lights transitioning in harmony for movie nights, parties, or holidays—all controlled from a single platform.
IFA attendees in Berlin got the first hands-on look, but global consumers won’t have to wait long. The Govee TV Backlight 3 Pro and Permanent Outdoor Lights Prism are available on Govee.com and Amazon.
Govee has once again proven why it leads the smart lighting market. The TV Backlight 3 Pro brings unprecedented accuracy and intelligence to home entertainment, while the Permanent Outdoor Lights Prism offers unmatched versatility and resilience for year-round outdoor displays.
For anyone seeking to upgrade their smart home lighting—whether for immersive viewing, standout curb appeal, or seasonal celebrations—Govee’s latest innovations deliver the perfect blend of performance, design, and integration.
In short: if you want lighting that doesn’t just illuminate but transforms, Govee’s IFA 2025 lineup is where to start.
