Just came across this on Gearbest website, had a quick search and no one else seems to have posted this yet. Very good deal in my opinion, so much cheaper than Philips Hue bulbs.
People in other threads are talking about setting it up with IFTTT (Amazon Echo as well?) and there's also the official app on play store.

I have some of these. I purchased 2 colour ones to try out and was very impressed. For £14 they are spot on. They can be Co trolled by smart phone or by Amazon echo. Very easy to set up. Can choose any colour and brightness and as mentioned above, the scenes are good. I have ordered another 3 to do the other bedrooms and office.
All I need now is to figure out some switches that I can use with them (normal light switches turn off the power completely so wifi then doesn't work) apparently I need aqara switches but £40 each is a bit steep.
For anyone wondering on the features, download the "mi home" or "yeelight" app from Google play or appstore and you can create a pretend light bulb within the app and play around with the controls to see what the bulb would look like and it's features. If anyone wants to see the features before they buy, try that.

Pretty easy I have one of these works with the Yeelight app and also they've recently released something for the Echo. Pretty good!

Wattage isn't a measure of brightness.

I don't have the light bulb, but i did the buy the xiaomi lamp and it works fine in the uk (using it with a UK adapter). Can't imagine light bulbs are any different?

if it's anything like the Google home, it's fairly easy using ifttt , but you have to make a scene for every color you want , just time consuming.

Any idea how long for delivery... never ordered from them before

There are different delivery options, I normally go for the cheapest and it takes anywhere between 2 weeks to 4 weeks if I recall correctly

They quote 7-10 business days. I think mine took around 10 days.

No need for ifttt anymore, the skill has now been approved by amazon.
I have 4 of these, one in each of the bedrooms.
In the Yeelight app, you also get pre set scenes, sunrise, sunset. Great for the kids going to bed.
The sunset scene slowly fades to off

You can also create your own scenes.
To get the echo to set the light to a colour, you save each colour as a scene (name the scene as the colour). Then tell Alexa to turn X room light..then the name of the colour/scene.
