Millet smart bulb yeelight evaluation

燧人氏钻木取火, since then bid farewell to Ru Mao and blood; Edison invented the electric light, from then on, the lights are shining at night; the third change, this topic is somewhat large, but the intelligent networkable remote control bulb, this IoT idea gives the bulb a new life And more enlightening meaning.

Unpacking

Rectangular environmentally friendly pulp box, only yeelight logo, simple style and millet are similar

The bottom of the back also has the parameters and main functions of the product.

The side of the box is also extremely simple

Open the top cover and see the manual and warranty card first.

Covered with a black cushioning sponge to protect fragile bulbs. There is a suitable hole in the lower right corner, you can see the bottom of the USB adapter, printed with yeelight logo, the design is good.

The shock absorbing sponge is not too thin, this angle looks like the protective cover of the mobile phone.

Remove the protective sponge and see the sunflower bulb and USB adapter

The wrapped sponge is really thick, and the safety of the light bulb can be assured.

USB adapter, almost the same size as the U disk, take out and pretend that the U disk is more than enough

Family portrait, international practice is essential

detail

The smart light bulb is slender, the top is a milky white acrylic lampshade, and the middle body has a silver coating with yeelight on it.

The other side is printed with the parameters of the bulb, 100-240V wide voltage adaptation, 6W power consumption, 500 lumens brightness

Common E27 screw, suitable for a wide range of applications

The bulb is about 103mm long

The widest part is about 49.92mm in diameter

Although the light bulb is small, it is very weighty in the hand.

A light bulb has 148.53g, which is heavier than the millet tablet. I can imagine the feeling of holding it in my hand.

If the color of the coating is brighter, it can be used as an ornament.

The USB adapter needs to be plugged into the Xiaomi router, which is a bit long, and it would be better if the subsequent version could be made into a nano receiver.

Fever test

After ten minutes of use, the temperature at the lampshade was measured at 35.3 °C.

38.1 ° C below the lampshade

After half an hour of use at maximum brightness, the lampshade temperature is 43.7 ° C

60.4 ° C at the main body of the bulb

34.9°C at the screw

It can be seen that it is used at the highest brightness, and the temperature of the LED bulb is slightly higher. The guess may be the heat dissipation of the wireless control part, but it is much lower than the temperature of the traditional incandescent lamp.

Real shot

The previous yeelight blue was controlled by Bluetooth, Bluetooth has a transmission distance limit, and the obstacle signal will be sharply weakened. This flower version comes with a USB adapter. The adapter is plugged into a supported router and remotely remotely controlled via a mobile phone.

After installing the app that came with the system, I couldn't find the light bulb, so I had to control it with the APP inside the Xiaomi router. I hope that the follow-up app of the manufacturer will be more powerful.

The APP control function in Xiaomi routing is slightly simple, you can adjust the brightness, choose the color, and open the key.

Not only can remote control light, adjust brightness, but also RGB full color adjustment, yeelight smart light bulb is really nice and fun

Click on the image to see the big picture effect, the color changes are good.

Power Meter Socket

Power Meter is a monitoring and testing instrument which determines the power consumption of a connected appliance and the cost of the electricity consumed.
Built-in 3.6V rechargeable Batteries ( . The purpose of the batteries is to store the total electricity and memory setting
Resetting
If an abnormal display appears or the buttons produce no response, the instrument must be reset. To do this,
press the RESET button.
Display Mode
Entire LCD can be displayed for about 1 minute and then it automatically gets into Model. To transfer from
one mode to the other, press the FUNCTION button.
Mode 1: Time/Watt/Cost Display Display duration(how long) this device connect to power source.LCD on first line shows 0:00 with first two figures mean minutes(2 figures will occur while occur at 10 min) and the rest shows seconds. After 60mins, it displays 0:00 again with first two numbers meas hour(2 figures will occur at 10hours)and the rest shows minutes. The rest can be done in the same manner which means after 24 hours, it will re-caculate. LCD on second line displays current power which ranges in 0.0W 〜 9999W. LCD on third line displays the current electricity costs which ranges in O.Ocost 〜 9999cost. It will keep on O.OOcost before setting rate without other figures.
Mode 2: Time/Cumulative electrical quantity Display Display duration(how long) this device connect to power source.
LCD on first line shows 0:00 with first two figures mean minutes(2 figures will occur while occur at 10 min) and the rest shows seconds. After 60mins, it displays 0:00 again with first two numbers meas hour(2 figures will occur at 10hours)and the rest shows minutes. The rest can be done in the same manner which
means after 24 hours, it will re-caculate. LCD on second line displays current cumulative electrical quantity which ranges in 0.000KWH 〜 9999KWH without other figures. LCD on third line displays"DAY"- "1 'Will be showed on numerical part(the other three figures will be showed at carry) which means it has cumulated electrical quantity for 24hours(one day). The rest can be done in the same manner untill the maximal cumulative time of 9999 days.
Mode 3: TimeA^bltage/Frequency Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones. LCD on second line displays current voltage supply (v) which ranges in 0.0V 〜 9999V .LCD on third line displays current frequency (HZ) which ranges in 0.0HZ 〜 9999Hz without other figures.
Mode 4: Time/Current/Power Factor Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones.LCD on second line displays load current which ranges in 0.0000A 〜 9999A. LCD on third line displays current power factor which ranges in 0.00PF 〜 LOOPF without other figures.
Mode 5:Time/Minimum Power Display LCD on first line displays the same as Mode 1 dones. LCD on
second line displays the minimum power which ranges in 0.0W 〜 9999W. LCD on third line displays character of "Lo" without other figures.
