Yeelight JIAOYUE YLXD05YL 480 LED Ceiling Light

Great lamp, very easy to install. You only need to connect 2 electrical wires with a push-in connection mechanism, you push the buttons and put the wires inside and release the button. The electrical wires dont touch any metal part of the lamp housing, they are inside a small plastic “housing” and so the electrical wires dont touch any metal parts. HOWEVER it is important that the plastic coating of the electrical wires is undamaged. Otherwise there might be some electrical contact with the metal base of the lamp.

To install the lamp you need to drill 2 holes in the ceiling with 5 millimeter drill. The lamp is very very light, the included screws are definitely enough for this lamp.

The light of the 480mm lamp is spread very evenly across the whole lamp, there are no areas where the light is concentrated more than in other areas, everything is absolutely evenly lit across the whole area of the lamp.

The brightness of the 480 mm lamp is impressive. I use the warmest color temperature of 2700 Kelvin and the brightest it gets is comparable with an old 120 Watt bulb (non energy saving old bulb with a metal wire that glows), probably even above 120 Watt brightness compared to old bulbs.

Overal build quality of the lamp and remote control is very solid. Nothing squeeks or bends etc.

The lamp has different color temperature settings (in Kelvin): 2700 – 3500 – 4000 – 5500 – 6500 Kelvin. I use the warmest – 2700 Kelvin during the whole day, as it is the closest to the regular old bulbs and the other color options are too “cold” for my taste, even during the day.

But regardless, for learning or some type of work, where you want to focus/ concentrate it is good to have the options with colder light temperature.

You can specify a “default” mode with the brightness and color temperature of your choice, which the lamp remembers even when you turn off the electricity to the lamp by turning the light switch off.

The remote controls are stored “inside” the lamps. Whenever a remote control that is “known” to the lamp sends a signal, the lamp reacts. If a lamp “doesnt know”a remote control, it doesnt react. What this means is- you can control several lamps with 1 remote control and what this also means is that you can control a specific lamp with different remote controls.

Its a great product, it is hard to find anything better or even comparable for the same price.

Also the CRI (Color Rendering Index) is of high quality, you definitely notice the difference to cheap 20 USD lamp (or even cheaper). Those cheap ones have all sorts of color shades that dont look anywhere close to the specified Kelvin presets.

Ive installed several of these lamps (more than 12, specifically 480mm version with “starry sky”) and didnt have a single issue, Quality Control seems to be very good. I mean its a lamp that costs more than 100 USD, that is kind of expected, but not allways the case with other products.

Suggestion

none, sometimes long shipping, but it is not product specific, rather seller service..

My review:
http://budgetlightforum.com/node/64523

At the first moment after unpacking the lamp I thought – I thought it would look different. I plugged in briefly to see how it shines and how it works, it took a few moments before I paired the remote control, then connected with the application. I did not have time to mount it and the lamp lay on the desk for a few days.
Previously, I had a simple chandelier and 3 lamps in it (commonly known as incandescent lamps) Philips LED 5.5W and 470lm each (1410lm in total), color temperature 2700K and CRI over 80.
Producer Yeelight for the lamp version 480 LED gives up to 1.5 (for the moon mode) up to 2200lm (probably for the winter color), adjustable color temperature 2700-6000K (application gives up to 6500K) and very important parameters – CRI level 95 (I suspect that for the color of 2700K, for the colder it will be slightly lower).
What is CRI? – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_rendering_index

My room is 13.5m2, previously used 3 Philips lamps have well lit my room, but now I think it is very bright, sometimes even too bright – to the point that I dim the lamp with a remote control. The brightness of the 480 LED version with peace of mind is enough for a room of approx. 15m2.
The quality of light – this was the most interesting. Data on paper may look better or worse, similarly with Philips lamps (bulbs), CRI 80+, color 2700K – that is such a standard. A moment later I turned on the Xiaomi lamp, I set it to 3500K – it turns out that the difference in the quality of light is a chasm.
Do you have similar “LED bulbs” at home? Try to look at how they shine – and you will notice a lot of green in this light, different color of individual copies, etc.
Xiaomi Yeelight is not a cheap lamp, in return it offers great quality light, remote control and application, and a great look – just leave the lamp in the lowest mode (even 1.5lm) or slightly brighter and someone will enter the room – smile on the face guaranteed, especially the number of stars that sparkle in different colors.
Am I satisfied? – I am very happy if I had to change the lamp only for the 650 LED version with Ambilight – well … the difference in price between one and the other lamp is too big.

This ceiling light was chosen because of it size to suit the kids room of 12sq.m. The mounting is very easy, really takes from 5 to 10 minutes to mount it (or replace the old ceiling light). It shines very bright and you can choose a warm white (~3000-4000K) color temperature which great. The quality of the lamp itself is very good, easy to clean/wipe. Remote control works, but needs to be paired right after you install the lamp manually (should not be a problem, click on M and OFF simultaneously for a while, release, then turn on the lamp and wait for led to blink). You can add this lamp to Xiaomi MI Home ecosystem and create different scenarios, connect to Mi Band, you can also add this lamp to Domoticz SmartHome system. Hope to have it for a long while.

really pleased with this purchase, even though I paid extra and missed out on the promotion.
Easy to install, even for a 'not-so-handyman'. Instructions on installation were clear.
Remote control unit was a bonus as I didn't like the mobile app as this asked for too much unnecessary permissions (does a light really need to access the mic, sms, contact list etc.), besides a remote is easier for other normal people to use.
The light's brightness range is impressive as its ideal for building lego models without an additional desklamp.
Hoping to buy additional units in the future, just need to get permission from the misses first ;-).

Very happy with the product and deivery.

Zamówienie do Polski z lokalnego magazynu Fast-08 - dostawa w 2 dni kurierem inpostu.
Zamontowałem 2 sztuki, na około 45m2 - jasność wystarczająca, sparowałem obie na jeden pilot.
Bardzo fajna lampa:
- łatwy montaż (tylko 2 kable),
- pilot,
- bardzo jasno świeci
- regulacja jasności świecenia
- regulacja barwy świecenia.
- tryb nocny
INSTRUKCJA SPAROWANIA PILOTA:
- wyciągamy zabezpieczenie z baterii w pilocie,
- sparowanie musi nastąpić w ciągu minuty od włączenia lampy przyciskiem na ścianie,
- więc włączamy lampę,
- następnie od razu wciskamy razem przyciski: OFF + M,
- jak diodka zamigota to puszczamy przyciski na pilocie
- po chwili lampa zamigota i pilot już działa.
Można wgrać też aplikację na telefon i także sterować lampą przez sieć wifi.

Wie wir alle wissen, sind Smart Home Geräte momentan noch relativ teuer. Aber nichts destotrotz haben diese ein sehr helles Licht und lassen sich bequem mit der Fernbediendung umstellen,. DIe Einstellung der Lampe lief ohne Probleme und auch die Steuerung über Google Home funktioniert tadellos. Der Anbau geht auch relativ einfach und die Lampe selber kann vom Lampenschirm getrennt werden, sodass man die Lampe auch mal (sofern von der gleichen Firma) wechseln kann. Leider ist das Surren der Lampen teilweise sehr laut, wenn sie auf höchster Stufe gestellt sind, dass es bei absoluter Stille wirklich nervig sein kann. Ich denke aber, dass man das irgendwann nicht mehr registriert. Für den Preis auf jeden Fall eine super Sache und über Lieferung per DHL über Deutschland ist das Paket auch super schnell da. Wer sich alles, so wie ich, mit Smart Home aufbauen will, kann hier nichts falsch machen.
