Positives: full rgb range available through xiaomi app (16 mil colours)
Fair price and great option for those who dont want to fork out the extra dough for philips hue lights
Neutrals: google home intergration was alright, you are limited by colours but its enough to be alright and you can still control colour, brightness and whether its even on through google.

Bad: setup was pretty awful, 3 lights connected with relatively low hassle (if not working you may need to restart app but it evetually started working) 4th light was more finicky but eventually it showed up and let me connect to it
Also each light counts as a device on your rou...view more Positives: full rgb range available through xiaomi app (16 mil colours)

Also each light counts as a device on your router so bear that in mind i guess?

Overall verdict is the lights are pretty good, decent colour range and brightness, they are long so they protrude a bit out of the light socket in the ceiling but nothing major its roughly 6cm

I brought this a few weeks ago as it was on sale when I was in store. I'd wanted to try one for a while and link it to my Google home.

Pros - Good price on sale at the time. Setup into Google Home was very simple!

Cons - Have been using it for a few weeks and nothing so far. I brought this a few weeks ago as it was on sale when I was in store. I'd wanted to try one for a while and link it to my Google home.

Definitely value for money, fit for purpose, comes with a variety of colours. You might notice a slight lag depending how fast your Internet is.
If you have a iOS and MIUI device, it responds faster with MIUI device.
Havent tried with Google Assistant/Apple Homes as it's incumbent Mi Home Apps is more than enough. Definitely value for money, fit for purpose, comes with a variety of colours. You might notice a slight lag depending how fast your Internet is.

The light was easy to install.
The light given off is quite nice but I find the color of the bulb itself while emitting colours is a bit tacky. I think this is a general issue with colored leds but definitely one to consider. I would strongly recommend to use it for indirect lighting or with a lamp shade that hides the bulb from view.
The brightness is in the range of a 60 watt incandescent bulb, if, you set it to stark white. At any other color it looks a lot darker.

The software is easy to work with but shows some rather odd lackings.

Eg. you can program the bulb to dim at a given time but you cannot choose how long the dimming will...view more The light was easy to install.

The software is easy to work with but shows some rather odd lackings.

Eg. you can program the bulb to dim at a given time but you cannot choose how long the dimming will take or even how dark it will get. There is a sunset/sunrise scene setting but again you cannot choose how long it takes for these scenes.

I think for the price it is a fantastic product but again some aspects of the software are simply bad.

Set up is easy with XiaoMi apps. Good range of colour including warm and cool white. It pairs well with Amazon Alexa. However I noted when paired with Apple HomeKit, the brightest setting cannot be adjusted to true 100%. Ie. when the brightness is 100% via HomeKit, it can be adjusted to become even brighter via XiaoMi. Not sure why this is but just be aware if you are sole HomeKit user.

Great product, easy to set up... The timer is awesome... I set it to turn on in the morning instead of the alarm... Love controlling it from my phone... People you need this... The colours are a bonus Great product, easy to set up... The timer is awesome... I set it to turn on in the morning instead of the alarm... Love controlling it from my phone...
