While scientific and technological progress brings convenience and speed, it also makes direct communication between people less. Science and technology has brought progress, but in a sense, it has also brought a step backward. Just look around and see how many people play mobile phones or other digital devices with their heads down. Before these devices appear, they may spend more time communicating with people. Do you feel that you have less and less communication with your family in your family? Do you feel that your family members hold their mobile phones to swim in their own world for too long. At this time, you may need a smart device that can bring some fun. Today, the product that the author takes you to experience is a smart product that can adjust your life taste - LifeSmart capsule bulb.

If you want to create a romantic family party, try this product. Now the author takes you to experience this capsule bulb from Hangzhou Xingzhi Yunqi Technology Co., Ltd.

The packaging of LifeSmart capsule bulb is the same as that of other smart products. It uses environment-friendly packaging materials. If the capsule bulb is used as a smart bulb, it must cooperate with the LifeSmart Smart Center, that is, if the capsule bulb is used as a pure lighting product, it can be used directly, but it cannot be used as an intelligent device without the Smart Center.

The Smart Center contains a wealth of accessories. In addition to the host, it also provides MicroUSB data cable, switching power supply for power supply, power supply cable and network cable with shield, which can be used without the need for users to purchase any other accessories. In the capsule bulb in this experience, the author did not find the purpose of the MicroUSB data cable, which may be prepared for other matching devices.

The network access of the LifeSmart Smart Center adopts the wired connection mode. In addition to the wired RJ45 network interface, it also provides a pair of USB output interfaces. The power supply adopts the round hole mode. Like most intelligent devices, the Smart Center also provides a reset hole.

The accessories attached to the Smart Center include the most widely used MicroUSB data cable at present. Is it possible to provide a charging interface for daily digital devices? However, its power supply is 5V/2A switching power supply. If only 10W power is provided with digital device charging function, will its working stability be affected? The author believes that as an intelligent control center, it is better to focus on stability rather than special use. The power supply mode does not use the universal USB interface input, and uses the round hole power supply design commonly used in current equipment products. The network cable provided by the Smart Center also shows the sincerity of the manufacturer. The network cable accompanying the smart center is a network cable with a metal shield. Compared with the network cable accompanying many smart devices at present, the quality of the network cable is significantly better, which also provides more guarantees for its network stability.

Main technical parameters of the smart bulb: the E27 standard lamp cap, which is currently common in common household table lamps or ordinary lamps, is used to meet the direct use of most households. Its rated power is 6W, and the white light and RGB account for 3W respectively. The 433Mhz GFSK modulation mode is used in the communication system, which effectively guarantees its communication distance. In terms of color, due to the use of full-color LED design, under the control of dimming circuit, the color output with theoretical value of 16 million colors can be achieved to meet your needs for various DIY colors.

The name and CE certification mark of the bulb and some basic input parameters are printed on the side of the capsule bulb. The manufacturing process of E27 spiral lamp cap is also excellent.

From the perspective of volume, the smart center and capsule bulb are quite large. At the same time, the smart center can be equipped with a variety of intelligent peripherals produced by the company. The capsule bulb has 16 million color changes on the basis of daily white light lighting.

The product I experienced this time is only the smart bulb, but from the instruction manual of the Smart Center, it can be seen that the Smart Center supports a variety of peripherals, such as infrared sensor plug-ins, smart sockets, and so on.

In terms of the use of APP, the use of LifeSmart's account is still relatively simple, with only one form of email registration. For users who are accustomed to using their mobile phone number to register or using QQ WeChat microblog to quickly bind and log in, the use of the account is really less convenient. The first use requires adding a smart center.

As an intelligent control center, the author is very concerned about how powerful its functions are. By adding intelligent peripherals to the APP, we can see that at present, the LifeSmart Smart Center has supported as many as 8 intelligent peripherals, including intelligent cameras, infrared sensors, body sensors, switches, sockets, access guards, light strips, etc. From the health functions in smart homes, There are corresponding peripherals for daily power control and colorful life.

For device addition, devices with wifi function can operate independently from the smart center, while for smart bulbs, they must be connected to the smart center to achieve relevant control functions.

As a smart light bulb, the most important function of LifeSmart capsule light bulb is certainly colorful display. There are three forms of color selection in the app. The first is to choose the color you want; The second is fixed 18 colors, and the third is dynamic scene display.

In the dynamic scene, we can also turn on the white light lighting function, but this is generally not the case in the actual use of the author. Since we need color for romance, it is romantic in the end. Capsule bulb also has the timing task function and intelligent linkage function that intelligent devices generally have. For intelligent linkage, the current function is relatively simple, mainly involving the simple linkage function of turning on the bulb to automatically run the color of a scene.

For the color temperature and other parameters of the capsule bulb, the author also used the equipment to carry out relevant tests. The LED color temperature and other parameters were tested using the Zhejiang University Tricolor integrating ball. The photometric standard lamp of the equipment was also calibrated by the Shandong Institute of Metrology.

Two capsule bulbs were tested under the experimental environment of 24 ℃ room temperature and 32% relative humidity. The measured color temperature of the two bulbs is 2912K and 2928K, the color rendering index is 81.3 and 82.7, and the luminous flux is 89.78 lumens and 94.71 lumens, respectively. The consistency of the two bulbs is acceptable. It also indicates that the color temperature range of the capsule bulb is about 3000K. According to the color temperature classification, 3000K is warm white and 6000K is cold white. From the light point of view, the color temperature of 3000K is very close to that of incandescent lamps, which is more suitable for bedroom lighting. Although the color temperature is too high, it looks brighter, but it is more harmful to the eyes. The color rendering index is located in the section 1B between 80 and 89 where correct color judgment is required. As for normal use, its technical parameters are good.

The use of LED is related to the power factor of LED lamps. Use the power tester and voltage regulator to test the power factor of bulb lamps. It can be seen that the frequency of the voltage is relatively stable, with 50Hz AC input.

In the actual measurement, it is found that the brightness of the LifeSmart capsule bulb can basically reach the normal level when the AC 60V input, which can also be reflected from its power, but the brightness will significantly reduce at the lowest voltage. From the actual test results, when the capsule bulb is installed directly, its power factor is still relatively low, basically below 0.5, which should be related to the consumption of its 433M Rfid circuit and the full-color LED drive. Under the recommended rated voltage of 220V/50Hz, the white light power is 2.40W and the power factor is only 0.45. In this actual test, when the voltage is increased to AC 250V, the capsule bulb can still work normally. In order to prevent damage to the drive circuit, the author has not carried out a higher voltage test, but the 250V high voltage for the normal fluctuation of the household power grid should be able to meet the demand.

The author takes out two LED lamps of his company, including 8W on the left, 6W in the middle and LifeSmart bulb lamp on the far right. The author tests the power factors of these two white LED bulb lamps, which are above 0.85. From another aspect, it is estimated that the main reason why the power factor of the smart bulb is not too high is the power consumption of the communication part and the dimming drive.

The author tried to disassemble the capsule bulb, but failed. The E27 part of the LED bulb lamp produced by the author's company is welded by the whole process machine, and then the bulb cover is stuck by the dispenser, so it is basically impossible to open it without damaging the appearance. Based on this consideration, the author finally gave up dismantling the lamp. Such a good destructive dismantling of the lamp feels wasteful. The author can only test the working temperature of the capsule bulb through an infrared thermometer. From the use temperature, the external temperature of the bulb is not high, and the temperature is about 40 degrees after five hours of operation. However, since it is impossible to disassemble the machine to measure the internal temperature, its true heat dissipation performance cannot be completely determined. However, the author has operated continuously for more than five hours for a long time. From the infrared temperature test and the actual hand temperature feeling, The calorific value of the capsule bulb should still be within the acceptable range.

At last, the author mainly experienced a key function of the smart bulb, full-color led display. Because we know that all colors are processed based on the three primary colors, the author chose the three primary colors to test on the basis of blocking external light, and can see that the display colors of red light, green light and blue light are very positive. The white light display in the first picture is also a warm light display, which is more conducive to protecting people's eyes and making people feel warm at home.

For the profile, the author chose two profiles to take videos of their dynamic changes with mobile phones. We can see that the color transition of smart light bulbs is good, and we can also design them according to our own needs.

After several days of trial, the author believes that the following are some of the more praiseworthy aspects of LifeSmart capsule bulb:

1. In terms of lighting, warm white light is used instead of cold white light that many manufacturers only pursue visual brightness without considering human eye safety;

2. The 433Mhz RFID communication mode can realize long-distance transmission through the wall. The author measured that the communication of three floors in four solid walls was basically free of disconnection;

3. Convenient color control, you can customize your own color according to your own needs.

However, there are some suggestions for manufacturers:

1. LifeSmart Smart Center recommends expanding the wireless connection mode on the basis of wired connection. The main reason is that the router may not have redundant wired interfaces, and the router location is not suitable for connecting wired devices. Therefore, it is hoped that the Smart Center can also expand the WiFi connection mode, and can also serve as a wireless relay extension function;

2. The launch of a more powerful intelligent bulb lamp may be enough for many people to use 3W+3W, but I expect the white light power to be slightly higher, such as 5W+3W; The combination of 8W+3W may also increase the volume of bulb lamp, but for many people, the power of 3W is still slightly lower;

3. Expand the linkage function with other intelligent devices, such as the current voice control speakers, smart super speakers, iFLYTEK

This linkage of X1 speakers makes it more comfortable and romantic to play music according to the spectrum of light formed by the music.

In short, the LifeSmart smart bulb has brought me a good experience. But the price of its 499 package is unknown whether it can resonate with consumers. After all, many smart bulbs do not need an additional smart center to operate, and may be more cost-effective. However, based on the overall consideration, the powerful peripheral expansion of the LifeSmart Smart Center will undoubtedly become an important weight.
