    I bought these a couple of months ago. They only have about 8 colours. This is a huge lie:

    "Dimmable & RGB Color Change: adjust the brightness, color temperature, and select among 16 million colors to create the perfect lighting scenes."

    The app shows you a spectrum of colours but as you move the point to different colours it just jumps to the closest predefined colour (out of about 8 it comes with). For example as you move from yellow to orange it jumps to red. There are no shades inbetween. And it has no white light. I wasted a couple hundred dollars.

      Thank you. I wish I had know earlier. Yeelight is pretty popular brand of lighting here. I just ordered without giving it much thought. My primary intent is to get white light. I guess I am typical OzBr, buy first think later.

        I believed their advertising. There is so much false advertising going on.

      Not sure what you're doing to get this behaviour - I've got a number of these strips, and they all work as advertised. Moving through each hue and shade changes as expected. No 'jumping' to speak of. This is through the native Yeelight app. Also works with Home Assistant.

        All four I bought behave the same way. I have Yeelight app and the Xiaomi app. Both behave the same way. There aren't 16 million colours. Only about 8. As you move through the spectrum on the app it does change but to the predefined colours it comes with. That's my experience.

        • robberbutton on 14/12/2020 - 15:37

          Definitely something broken on yours then. I have one of the older gen strips, and 2 current gen ones, and both work as expected. I can't say for certain there's 16m colours, but it does definitely change granularly with the sliders.

        Yeah I have x3 of these strips and I can definitely get more than just 8 colours.

        I'd be asking for a refund if mine were limited to just 8

  • UncleRico on 12/12/2020 - 20:58

    Does every light on these have to be the same colour at once, or can they handle a colour gradiant like the philips light strip?

      Read my post above. This is nothing like that.

        So it does nothing that a $25 5050 LED 5m strip from Ebay or Amazon won't do?

        How can they charge like this?

          They are 10x better than this.

          How have they gotten away with it for so long is the question that came to my mind.

          • spal on 12/12/2020 - 21:16

            @[Deactivated]: Except I am guessing the google home, Alexa and Apple Homekit support. The cheaper ones on eBay have remote controls, bluetooth or app controls, but generally not integrated with these home automation ecosystems.

            • [Deactivated] on 12/12/2020 - 21:24

              @spal: The problem is you connect each as a separate device to your WiFi. That interferes with everything else. The Philips one uses the bridge to overcome this but charge an arm and a leg. There are better alternatives. I'm so upset I wasted $200 on something not worth more than $20-30 for what it does.

              • [Deactivated] on 13/12/2020 - 06:47

                @[Deactivated]: The Philips Hue bulbs connect with ZigBee, which operates on the same frequency (2.4 Ghz) as these bulbs. If there's any interference, it would be the same for both devices.

                Connect your other devices to 5 Ghz and this minor problem is solved

      That feature is called "individually addressable LED" in case you want to look for keywords in other deals :)

    Go this. If you're not happy, return/refund/store credit would be HEAPS easier.
    The GENIO app is NOT fantastic in general but is relatively serviceable after a bit of stuffing around.

    • spal on 12/12/2020 - 21:19

      Thank you. That is cheaper, it is 3meter and has google and Alexa support.

    Haven't had the same issue of just being 8 colours like another poster has mentioned. In saying that, i've been using it with Homekit to control. Definitely not as bright as the Hue Strip, especially with certain colour combinations. Will say these are great if you're looking for a cheap Homekit light strip, but with the newer strips from Philips and LifX capable of colour gradients on the light-strips it's definitely a tougher decision as to what you pickup.

    • spal on 12/12/2020 - 21:21

      Wonder if homobargainien is referring to previous generation, and the current generation does not have these issues. Having said that in the previous deal users have mentioned that it drops wifi connection.

      • automated on 12/12/2020 - 21:26

        It doesn’t lose wifi for me, but does drop HomeKit connection fairly often. I’d avoid if you’re relying on HomeKit to operate it.

      • [Deactivated] on 12/12/2020 - 21:28

        I bought mine in September. The receipt says:

        "2M Aurora Lightstrip Plus Smart Extendable Strip Light x 4"

        • spal on 12/12/2020 - 21:38

          'Plus' is the second generation. Based on comments from automated, do you think you should check with Yeelight to see if your lights have an issue, or maybe try with Homekit or Alexa. Although, I do see your point. If I got $35 kit from Kmart, I wouldn't have much expectations. This is more that double that price.

          • [Deactivated] on 12/12/2020 - 21:42

            @spal: Maybe you are right mate. But the associated person has never denied my claims on this site. If I'm wrong I'd like to see them respond here and say "You are wrong our strips do in fact allow for 16m colours as advertised" so that way we have something to work with. But so far I'm thinking I'm more observant than the average consumer and their trick has worked on most.

            • spal on 12/12/2020 - 21:48

              @[Deactivated]: I saw this video reviews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVCBzn0RcDA. If you use the controller, you are limited to preset limited colours. But with app you can get multiple colours, including a cool feature where you can use your phone camera to get colour of any article and apply that to the lights. That would mean that they will do more than 8 lights.

      so you can get in between colours?
      can you get gradients?

        I saw a video review, it cannot do two different colours.

  • joshuaabraham on 13/12/2020 - 00:25

    I bought this exact product except with a US plug from a dodgy-looking Chinese electronics site called DD4.com back in 2018. It was $25 USD, far cheaper than this offer. Mind you I haven't seen an equivalent offer since then…

    As for the person who claims the colour variations are a huge lie, I honestly think it's somewhere in the middle. The control over colour variation isn't as nuanced as the marketing matieral would suggest, but it definitely offers more subtle control than 8 block colours. The variation between colours is most apparent when the LEDs are concealed / out of view and the light is catching on a white wall or surface.

  • Knockers on 13/12/2020 - 11:09

    I bought this about 6 months ago thinking it was a more "premium" light strip. The build quality is good and the lights are bright but the colours are rubbish.

    The negative reviews on this product are correct.

    I'd recommend not buying this.
