Pros:
Great looking LED
Cheap as
Works with HomeKit, Google, Alexa and a whole lot of others

Cons
Not very bright
HomeKit has issues connecting occasionally

Have been using this for the past 2 weeks now. Key reason for purchase was support for Siri. Setup was easy and it does work 80% of the time. HomeKit does have issues occasionally connecting to this bulb. Works fine with Google Home and Alexa, no connectivity issues ever. Pros:

One of the main reasons you would opt for this bulb is their HomeKit integration. There are other better Google Home and Alexa compatible bulbs. Yeelight has a tough time maintaining connection with HomeKit. It keeps disconnecting from HomeKit and it’s frustrating and useless if you are trying to automate with HomeKit.

I ran into a handful of issues with connectivity and function when I first got this product (I brought 2 lots of 2). There were issues connecting it to my router. There wasn't a lot of help online to fix this. The core problem seemed to be a combination of their servers being down and authentication to the router (removing the router password, connect the lights then adding the password back and reconnecting seemed to fix it).

In addition to the above, I also found the recommended (official yeelight) app to be rather problematic. Setting scenes, trying to control a number of lights. You can set groups but it just isn't as user friendly as one would hope. I'd also find that sometimes the light wouldn't show up as connected or I'd have a significant delay with 1 or 2 lights. Sometimes 1 or 2 lights wouldn't even activate or change when told, you'd have to pick your scene or input twice. Also, the app had to be open and running in the background for any of the home screen shortcuts on your phone to work. Which was an issue for me as I am in the habit of closing unused apps once I have finished with them.

However, I also brought a Google Home mini a couple of weeks later and it controls the lights flawlessly with voice commands. I'd highly recommend using these with some sort of smart home device. They may function significantly better with a different app.

In the end, given the price point and performance (once you get past the app and connection issue) I would highly recommend this smart light. The actual brightness and colours are extremely good, especially given the low price point in comparison with other smart lights. I will continue to purchase and use this brand of smart light.

Pros:
- cheap
- easy to setup
- decent colors

Cons:
- connectivity issues; signal drops while in the same room with access point

Had a bit of connection issues but had to go into my phone settings and connect to my 2.4Ghz and change DNS to 8.8.8.8.

These are great smart bulbs at a sharp price. Have since bought more. They are wicked easy to set up and use with the Yeelight App, and Google Home integration is a breeze for both voice and remote control when away from home. Would recommend these easily other other brands These are great smart bulbs at a sharp price. Have since bought more.

I've never had issues with Yeelight (6xRGB, 2xwhite) over the years, especially when compared to the cost of the alternatives, but I feel 8.5W (800lm) is a little dim.

This bulb keeps disconnecting from the wifi - and it is a major hassle to reconnect it. It this time I haven't been able to get it going again. A Google help search finds LOTS of people with the same issue. Going back to Mi bulbs - cheaper and never had a problem This bulb keeps disconnecting from the wifi - and it is a major hassle to reconnect it.
