Yeelight JIAOYUE YLXD05YL 480 LED 32W 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.

Lamp that comes in a very protective packaging, even if the contents are difficult to break, as the outer casing is in plastic and the base is in solid metal. Installation is elementary and very simple. There are a series of holes in different positions, which is why it is also likely, as happened to me, that you can reuse the pieces of some previous chandelier or ceiling light. Two are enough, because the lamp is very light. The lamp is divided into two: the metal base to be fixed to the ceiling and the lower part in plasitca containing the LEDs and the contour electronics. The metal base is fixed to the ceiling, electrical connections are made (which make use of a mammouth) and then it is sufficient to apply the lower part with a pressure until you hear the hooks click. The Yeelight application also installs and configures itself with extreme simplicity and allows you to control color intensity and temperature. There is a night mode that reduces the brightness up to the level of moonlight, which does not disturb sleep, and then infinite gradations up to "blinding". In any condition of use the light is stable and without flickering. The appropriate intensity to adequately illuminate a room up to 25-30 square meters, if placed in its center. The finish of the pase of the lamp is generally opaque, so that the light is diffused, but there are also very small transparent stars (almost invisible when the light is off) which causes a glare from the LEDs to escape through these apertures , generating a "star" effect when the lamp is on. You can indulge yourself, if you wish, with the scenarios of the application and make sure that at different times the lamp applies different settings. The scenarios can also be shared with Google Home or with Alexa and activated via voice commands. In short, an excellent lamp, offered at an attractive price and that can give "geek" satisfactions.

I ordered 2 lamps for the living room around 45m². Initially I feared shortage of brightness, but after the installation I was pleasantly surprised. Already at setting 80% of the amount of light is sufficient. The consignment was sent expresowo, I had her at home after 2 days. Removal of old and installation of new lights took about 15 minutes thanks to the banal simple system installation. The set was accompanied by a pilot who quickly gave up two pair of lamps, so controlling them is fast, easy and very comfortable. Control of the old, traditional wall switch also fulfills its function running light on pre-defined in the application level. Referring to the application mention that there are two - and MiHome Yeelight. I personally use the latter, because I have no other smart-home devices. Pairing is done quickly and intuitively, and enables you to run lights and full control over it. It is also possible to manage from anywhere in the world through a combination of LAN and other household sharing control. I did not notice any drawbacks of this device performs its function and gives the class and modernity to the whole room. Starry effect is mainly visible when dimming, which gives a unique character posiadówkom evening. I highly recommend anyone buying niezdecydowanemu!
