    The English is really, really bad…

    Yeelight intelligent lamp built millet smart home Wi-Fi module, the gateway can not connect to the home WiFi, and controlled by a mobile phone.

    The original (?) Yeelight worked via BT, this … I don't know. Does it have wi-fi or does it not? Can it or can it not connect to the home wifi? Do you need to buy a XiaoMi gateway like you do with other smart lights?

    • Wiser on 24/05/2016 - 18:42

      You are right.This can't be trusted to use with WiFi
      They need to come up with solid evidence.why can't they provide a video?

        They spend a lot of money creating pretty decent products, yet for some reason they can't be bothered describing them properly.

          They use machine translation for a lot of things. I guess it's more economical to do so when your website is listing literally thousands of different products, it's not always possible to have an English proofreader check each and every one of them. you might do it for flagship items like Xiaomi phones and such, but not for minor items.

    • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 24/05/2016 - 19:02

      This uses inbuilt wifi. It does not use Bluetooth or a Gateway like the previous versions. It's simply a bad translation - it will be fixed.

      Tell me about it. I was very sorely tempted when I saw the price - the cheapest it is elsewhere is like a solid $10+ more. Sadly, the more I read on the details… the less interested I become.

      • Miss B on 24/05/2016 - 18:47

        All of my light sockets are bayonet style and these seem to be screw in ones? I'll see if I can find bayonet and maybe buy 1.

          They only come as Edison Screw, but you can get a bayonet converter.

          I bought an adaptor from eBay for a few dollars for my daughter's LIFX bulb…. as long as your fitting has got enough space for the extra length it works fine.

        • Miss B on 24/05/2016 - 19:09

          @altomic:
          Apparently. Oh well, converter option below seems to be a possibility. Might look into older/cheaper versions of this though.

          @rekabkram:

          Bayonet to Edison converters are an eyesore but pretty cheap and almost certainly dangerous and illegal.

          The lampholder portions (2 of them) in lamp converters are High Risk "declared" or "Prescribed" articles, and it's an offence to offer them for sale unless they have been tested any certified.

          http://www.erac.gov.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=art…

          However that won't stop most people here on Ozbargain from recommending that everyone uses them.

    Is this bright enough to be the main light bulb for a room or only good for a lamp?

    • kwchaz on 24/05/2016 - 19:12

      600 lumens is more than enough… assuming this really reaches 600 lumens. ;)

    • llama on 24/05/2016 - 20:36

      is this bright enough to be the main light bulb for a room

      That's a question that nobody can answer. 600 Lumens is not much light, about the same as a old 60W incandescent bulb.

      I don't think the rating is very reliable, and my guess is that it's a theoretical value based on all 3 LED chips running 100% flat out. That will not apply if you have it mixed to a normal "white" light, and it especially will not apply if you have it in "colour mode".

      So, I'd say that it's a nice toy but only for effects.

      • ash2000 on 24/05/2016 - 22:47

        yeah agreed, 600lumens is probably even closer to 50watt incandescent bulb. So, yeah, more suited to a lamp then lighting a room from a ceiling fixture.

        That said, even the wemo globes are only marginally brighter at 10watts (700lumens) and are twice the price and only a single colour! Again, really only suited as a secondary light source.

        • gp03s on 25/05/2016 - 07:59

          OK, thanks for the feedback! These bulbs do look interesting though.

  • kwchaz on 24/05/2016 - 19:11

    Just an FYI, code is for one discount, so if you want more than one, you will have to checkout multiple times.

  • ash2000 on 24/05/2016 - 19:48

    With PayPal's exchange rate, the item costs AUD$28.97.

    • Zues981 on 24/05/2016 - 20:06

      $28.58 for me

  • Dominus on 24/05/2016 - 20:26

    So I grabbed the original one of these via an OZB deal, only a few months ago, and already the wifi won't register via the app, which I had to sideload onto my android device and now basically crashes all the time. Not ragging on Xiaomi or anything here, because I found the Mi Band to be an excellent starter fitness band, but the original Yeelight has been super flaky for me.

    Anyone had a better experience with this one? The colour shifting is really appealing, but if it's going to stop working in a few months I don't see the point.

  • 0PriceJack0 on 24/05/2016 - 21:00

    it's said 5-7 days shipping. so does it come with tracking + registered post?

    • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 24/05/2016 - 21:07

      Free shipping will take 3-4 weeks after processing. It comes with tracking.

      • 0PriceJack0 on 24/05/2016 - 22:25

        international tracking?

          Until it reaches Australia. Auspost are good at not updating it until it arrives at your doorstep.

  • Vietsoldier on 24/05/2016 - 22:28

    I'd buy this if it supported IFTTT.

  • Lukian on 27/05/2016 - 10:15

    Hey rep,

    Any idea if the (plastic?) top is removable?

    We have some really 'short' bathroom vanity fittings.

    • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 27/05/2016 - 13:15

      It's not removable.

      • Lukian on 27/05/2016 - 15:39

        Ah well, I'll still find a use for them elsewhere in the house =)

        Do any of the app(s) have an 'alarm' feature to slowly increase the brightness (from 0-100 over a few-several minutes)?

  • Lukian on 02/06/2016 - 00:25

    How on earth do I set these up? I have the Mi Home app installed.

    comments above say a gateway device is not needed

    Edit: ANDROID ONLY.

    Rep, how do iPhone users go about compensation for this issue?

    • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 02/06/2016 - 06:45

      Search for Yeelight in the app store.

      • Lukian on 02/06/2016 - 11:01

        Which app? Mi Home does not support the YeeLight on iOS.

        • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 02/06/2016 - 11:04

          It should be one of the Yeelight Blue's

          https://itunes.apple.com/au/developer/qingdao-yeelink-inform…

        • Lukian on 02/06/2016 - 13:29

          @Clear: It's the MiHome app on Android, why would it be a different named app on iOS?

          As stated everywhere, this is the WiFi model (although I have a feeling it uses bluetooth for the initial configuration). I do not believe it is a "Blue" model - which are all 100% bluetooth.

        • MarketingClear @ Geekbuying on 02/06/2016 - 14:44

          @Lukian: Yeelight is the name of the bulb. I'll confirm it with Geekbuying.

    Ok…. Received this yesterday and have set it up.

    The app you need for either android or ios is Mi Home .

    I couldn't get the thing setup on android, and had to use my iPad to get it functioning. Now once connected to the home network, the android app works fine.

    The globe itself isn't as bright as I though. It only emits 9watts in bright white light mode. Any attempt the colour the light will result in significantly less light output.

      Couldn't find that app on the iPad… do you have a link? I found MiHome on Android and that located the light bulb.

      Found it: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/mi-home-make-your-phone-cent…

      • ash2000 on 10/06/2016 - 17:33

        MiHome is an iPhone app, so you need to select "iphone only " in the drop down box. But it sounds as if you've sorted it!

        My only disappointment with this globe is that it doesn't remember the last colour selected if you turn the light off at the switch. if switching it this way it defaults to bright white (6500k).

        • kwchaz on 10/06/2016 - 17:39

          I'm having some issues sadly… three of four bulbs have arrived, and one refuses to pair no matter how many times I reset it. I've tried on my phone and my iPad - do you reckon I've got a dud?

          Edit: fixed it… my router had max of five devices connected, changed to 10 and all fixed.

          Edit2: tbh I find them quite bright. Maybe I have small rooms?? :P

        • ash2000 on 10/06/2016 - 20:23

          @kwchaz:

          LOL…..maybe because you have four bulbs (and I only have one)!

        • kwchaz on 10/06/2016 - 23:27

          @ash2000:

          Ahaha I didn't put them all in the same room (and I only have three, fourth one is AWOL :( :( :()…
