MI LED WIFI SMART BULB :
Lighting is not just about improving visibility in
the darkness. It also defines ambience and even
has the power to lift your mood. Xiaomi’s Mi WiFi
Smart bulb with 16 million colours, 800 lumens
brightness, close to 11 years of run time (claimed by
Xiaomi) and impressive built-quality is a complete
package. And it seamlessly snuggles into your
smart home setup and is Alexa as well as Google
Assistant compatible. It pairs with the Mi Home
app, and I could play around with the colours and
choose from the pre-set modes.
PHILIPS SMART BULB :
Smart lighting solutions are aplenty these days. But what I liked
about the Philips Smart Bulb is availability in both E27 and B
cap types. While testing the smart bulb, pairing took a little time,
but once paired, it was convenient to use. The Wiz app interface
was rather intuitive.
The bulb is quick to switch colours and is just perfect for mood
lighting. Moreover, there is a dedicated mode for ‘circadian
rhythm’ where the light is automated for providing the best-
suited lighting throughout the day according to wake-up and bed
timings. I was also able to schedule when to turn on the light.
For many, the vacation mode can come in handy when away
from home on vacation or work. The app also has the option of
checking power consumption.MI LED WIFI SMART BULB :
