Decent deal on brilliant quality Xiaomi Mijia Smart LED Desk Lamp. All technical details in the link. My TBC tracked for £1.55, this is the second one I get from Gearbest.

Is there any import duty / vat to be paid ?

I didn't pay anything on first one. GB enclosed invoice for 20 USD so this was not picked up by customs as low value item.

Why would you want a smart desk lamp? Surely if you are sitting at your desk it is easier to press the switch than to get your phone out or ask Alexa to control it?

Adaptor which is the only negative thing about this lamp

the other option is their £10 bulb and a normal desk lamp. personally haven't found a use for my smart bulbs yet. As any main light the light switch is better and they are usually too dim and a horrible default cold white. I have ordered a floor lamp i'll put in the corner of the living room and use it as a dimmed light when watchign tv etc

You can change the default colour and brightness to anything you want in the Yeelight app! The bulb on white is about what an old 60w used to be.

and save it to the bulb so even if you turn off the bulb with the light switch it will use the new default?

Looks good shame about the red wiring sticking out the top
