This LED smart light panel uses AI to turn your room into a canvas
Smart lights are cool, but they should be a little more personal. While you can change things like the brightness and color of smart lights, what if you could change them to offer an image completely unique to your preferences? That’s the idea behind Govee’s newest smart lights, which, yes, use AI to create images using LED pixel lights.
The new device is called the Gaming Pixel Light. It consists of a series of LED lights that can be illuminated in different colors, creating pixel art as they do so. The light will even accompany the art with 8-bit music, making for a more retro experience.
AI art
So, what's AI about it? Well, the light connects to an app that lets you use natural language to tell the light what image you want displayed. You could tell it to show a picture of a dog, or, in my infinite creativity, I looked at my camera and asked it to make a camera. It's not the most perfect image ever, but it's a neat idea that makes for a customizable experience you can change.

The app worked relatively quickly and seemed to understand my input easily. When I asked it to create an image of a camera, it created the image on the app for my approval before sending it to the device itself. You’ll talk with a chatbot to create the image, prompting it to create what you want.
A light panel design
The design of the Gaming Pixel Light is essentially a light panel similar in size to a picture frame. And, of course, there's only so much actual light you can get from something that size, and it remains to be seen if it's something you would want to use to light up your room. That said, it's a neat way to add more personality to your space. Having seen it in person, I can safely say it gets relatively bright.
It's a bit gimmicky, but that doesn’t make it any less cool. It can also become more versatile than just showing AI art directed by you. It can also show little animations and data from various sources, including the price of Bitcoin.
Coming soon
The Govee Gaming Pixel Light will be available in May or June. It is available in two sizes at two price points: $99.99 and $129.99.
