Yeelight JIAOYUE YLXD05YL 480 LED Plafoniera

Great lamp, very easy to install. You only need to connect 2 electrical wires with a push-in connection mechanism, you push the buttons and put the wires inside and release the button. The electrical wires dont touch any metal part of the lamp housing, they are inside a small plastic “housing” and so the electrical wires dont touch any metal parts. HOWEVER it is important that the plastic coating of the electrical wires is undamaged. Otherwise there might be some electrical contact with the metal base of the lamp.

To install the lamp you need to drill 2 holes in the ceiling with 5 millimeter drill. The lamp is very very light, the included screws are definitely enough for this lamp.

The light of the 480mm lamp is spread very evenly across the whole lamp, there are no areas where the light is concentrated more than in other areas, everything is absolutely evenly lit across the whole area of the lamp.

The brightness of the 480 mm lamp is impressive. I use the warmest color temperature of 2700 Kelvin and the brightest it gets is comparable with an old 120 Watt bulb (non energy saving old bulb with a metal wire that glows), probably even above 120 Watt brightness compared to old bulbs.

Overal build quality of the lamp and remote control is very solid. Nothing squeeks or bends etc.

The lamp has different color temperature settings (in Kelvin): 2700 – 3500 – 4000 – 5500 – 6500 Kelvin. I use the warmest – 2700 Kelvin during the whole day, as it is the closest to the regular old bulbs and the other color options are too “cold” for my taste, even during the day.

But regardless, for learning or some type of work, where you want to focus/ concentrate it is good to have the options with colder light temperature.

You can specify a “default” mode with the brightness and color temperature of your choice, which the lamp remembers even when you turn off the electricity to the lamp by turning the light switch off.

The remote controls are stored “inside” the lamps. Whenever a remote control that is “known” to the lamp sends a signal, the lamp reacts. If a lamp “doesnt know”a remote control, it doesnt react. What this means is- you can control several lamps with 1 remote control and what this also means is that you can control a specific lamp with different remote controls.

Its a great product, it is hard to find anything better or even comparable for the same price.

Also the CRI (Color Rendering Index) is of high quality, you definitely notice the difference to cheap 20 USD lamp (or even cheaper). Those cheap ones have all sorts of color shades that dont look anywhere close to the specified Kelvin presets.

Ive installed several of these lamps (more than 12, specifically 480mm version with “starry sky”) and didnt have a single issue, Quality Control seems to be very good. I mean its a lamp that costs more than 100 USD, that is kind of expected, but not allways the case with other products.

Suggerimento

none, sometimes long shipping, but it is not product specific, rather seller service..

My review:
http://budgetlightforum.com/node/64523

At the first moment after unpacking the lamp I thought – I thought it would look different. I plugged in briefly to see how it shines and how it works, it took a few moments before I paired the remote control, then connected with the application. I did not have time to mount it and the lamp lay on the desk for a few days.
Previously, I had a simple chandelier and 3 lamps in it (commonly known as incandescent lamps) Philips LED 5.5W and 470lm each (1410lm in total), color temperature 2700K and CRI over 80.
Producer Yeelight for the lamp version 480 LED gives up to 1.5 (for the moon mode) up to 2200lm (probably for the winter color), adjustable color temperature 2700-6000K (application gives up to 6500K) and very important parameters – CRI level 95 (I suspect that for the color of 2700K, for the colder it will be slightly lower).
What is CRI? – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_rendering_index

My room is 13.5m2, previously used 3 Philips lamps have well lit my room, but now I think it is very bright, sometimes even too bright – to the point that I dim the lamp with a remote control. The brightness of the 480 LED version with peace of mind is enough for a room of approx. 15m2.
The quality of light – this was the most interesting. Data on paper may look better or worse, similarly with Philips lamps (bulbs), CRI 80+, color 2700K – that is such a standard. A moment later I turned on the Xiaomi lamp, I set it to 3500K – it turns out that the difference in the quality of light is a chasm.
Do you have similar “LED bulbs” at home? Try to look at how they shine – and you will notice a lot of green in this light, different color of individual copies, etc.
Xiaomi Yeelight is not a cheap lamp, in return it offers great quality light, remote control and application, and a great look – just leave the lamp in the lowest mode (even 1.5lm) or slightly brighter and someone will enter the room – smile on the face guaranteed, especially the number of stars that sparkle in different colors.
Am I satisfied? – I am very happy if I had to change the lamp only for the 650 LED version with Ambilight – well … the difference in price between one and the other lamp is too big.

Lampada che arriva in un imballo molto protettivo, anche se il contenuto è difficilmente soggetto a rotture, in quanto l'involucro esterno è in plastica e la base è in solido metallo.
L'installazione è elementare e molto semplice. Ci sono una serie di fori in posizioni diverse, ragion per cui è anche probabile, come è successo a me, che possiate riutilizzare i tasselli di qualche lampadario o plafoniera precedente. Ne bastano due, perchè la lampada è molto leggera.
La lampada si divide in due: la base in metallo da fissare al soffitto e la parte inferiore in plasitca contenente i led e l'elettronica di contorno. Si fissa al soffitto la base metallica, si eseguono i collegamenti elettrici (che fanno uso di un mammouth) e poi è sufficiente applicare la parte inferiore con una pressione fino a sentire scattare gli agganci.

L'applicazione Yeelight si installa e si configura anch'essa con estrema semplicità e vi permette di controllare intensità e temperatura di colore. C'è una modalità notturna che riduce la luminosità fino a livello da chiarore lunare, che non disturba il sonno, e poi infinite gradazioni fino ad "accecante". In ogni condizione d'uso la luce è stabile e senza sfarfallii. L'intensità adeguata a illuminare adeguatamente una stanza fino a 25-30 mq, se posta al suo centro.

La finitura della pase della lampada è generalmente opaca, per cui la luce è diffusa, ma sono anche presenti delle piccolissime stelline trasparenti (quasi invisibili a luce spenta) le quali fanno in modo che attraverso questi spiragli trapeli un po' di luce vivida dei led, generando un effetto "stelle" a lampada accesa.

Ci si può sbizzarrire, volendo, con gli scenari dell'applicazione e fare in modo che ad orari diversi la lampada applichi impostazioni diverse. Gli scenari possono anche essere condivisi con Google Home o con Alexa e attivarli tramite comandi vocali.

Insomma, un ottima lampada, proposta a un prezzo interessante e che può dare delle soddisfazioni "geek".

This ceiling light was chosen because of it size to suit the kids room of 12sq.m. The mounting is very easy, really takes from 5 to 10 minutes to mount it (or replace the old ceiling light). It shines very bright and you can choose a warm white (~3000-4000K) color temperature which great. The quality of the lamp itself is very good, easy to clean/wipe. Remote control works, but needs to be paired right after you install the lamp manually (should not be a problem, click on M and OFF simultaneously for a while, release, then turn on the lamp and wait for led to blink). You can add this lamp to Xiaomi MI Home ecosystem and create different scenarios, connect to Mi Band, you can also add this lamp to Domoticz SmartHome system. Hope to have it for a long while.
