Yeelight Unpacking

As for unpacking, it is an essential link for us to understand new products. Therefore, in the unpacking link, tea brings us all kinds of detail drawings of yeelight, so that we can really understand the appearance, workmanship and some problems that need attention in use of yeelight.

I
Yeelight's packaging is similar to millet box engineering machine. There is a circle of dark red labels on the outside of the packaging book, indicating that it is a product of millet ecological chain. In addition, this packaging method not only inherits the VI design of millet, but also directly reflects the composition of the product (bulb+accessories).

On the back of the box are the relevant parameters of yeelight. Its working voltage is 220V-50Hz, which is our usual household electricity. The bulb is 104mm long and suitable for installing on various lamps. Its service life is 20000 hours. For ordinary users, it will not light up 24 hours, which is really enough! Because yeelight also needs to emit light and heat, we should pay special attention to the last point: it is not suitable for working in enclosed spaces and outdoor places. To avoid safety accidents caused by overheating. The rated power of the bulb is 6W, and the table lamp we usually use is only 3W, so it is relatively bright.

The black instructions are more formal, but for us rice noodle experts, we usually don't pay much attention to the instructions, because many smart devices are interlinked. As long as there is an app, everything is OK.

This adapter is also marked on the top, which clearly indicates that I am a member of the yeelight family. Because it looks like a USB flash drive, it is indeed inserted into the USB interface, but we must not use it as a USB flash drive.

The interface of yeelight smart bulb is E27, so we can use it on most household appliances to supply power and lighting!

  Well, let's take a look at the specific use of the yeelight smart bulb!

This time, we use Mi4 as the evaluation machine, which is based on the Android system. Therefore, the launch of the Xiaomi routing app is much faster than IOS, and it supports direct login to local accounts, which is much more convenient. In the Xiaomi routing app, we first see the following interface:

You can see the smart light bulb. This is the default device name of yeelight. Of course, we can change it to our preferred name, such as dazzle light bulb. So what is the usage of this smart light bulb? Let's click to enter and see the specific structure inside!
In the main interface, we can see the areas with different functions such as switch button, color selection, brightness increase and decrease. Let's try the colors of the system one by one.

First, the default color is white. The brightness is 100% Ha, very bright.

The second color is pink, with only half the brightness.

The third color is beach yellow, with brightness of 90%.

The fourth color is light blue, 50%.

       The last default color is purple , 30% brightness.

Of course, we can also choose other colors manually, such as blue, orange and pink are the favorite colors of tea.

       Tea tea likes Blue is as tranquil as the sea ， Like orange, as lively as campus version ， Like the charm of pink like a private house 。 The yeelight smart light is like this. It can be adjusted independently according to your mood, so that the whole color of the home can match your mood and become more beautiful.

Evaluation summary

advantage:

① It is integrated into the Xiaomi routing app, which saves us the time to download the software client and is more convenient.

② The colors are changeable, and the playability is very high. In addition to home use, it is also suitable for friends' parties and other occasions to perform a magic trick.
③ It can be applied to both IOS and Android. It can be controlled as long as you log in to the Xiaomi account. In this way, the operation is not limited to one person. As long as you are a family member, we can control it by logging in to the Xiaomi routing account, which is more user-friendly.

Disadvantages:

① The control has a certain delay, which should have nothing to do with the network speed, because the broadband at home is 20M optical fiber, or has something to do with hardware or software apps.
② The software interface needs to be improved. It is not very convenient to select colors. It will be more accurate if RGB values can be provided. In addition, If the initial state bulb is off, As soon as we turn on the power, the light bulb will suddenly light up and then dim. I'm afraid that the light bulb will flash out. I hope the engineers can optimize it in the next version.

In a word, Xiaomi yeelight intelligent lamp is a very good product with certain playability. If the lamp is good, it can evolve into a very warm, romantic, passionate and elegant environment, which is more suitable for lovers, friends and family to use in different occasions. If yeelight can match some lamps, I think it will sell better. Of course, The app client needs to be strengthened, Especially if we have two or more yeelight smart lights, we hope that multiple smart lights can be linked, even programmed! The 10 lights change colors in turn, or jump and flash together, which will definitely be more cool! Right?
