How long does the delivery takes !!

I paid the extra 40p for 7-10 days but my first order hasn't arrived yet (I'm on day 7 now)

this seems to be by far the cheapest price this has been. it's normally around the £11/12 mark when discounted. typically I have all the bulbs I need now and paid a bit more overall, but I'm happy with them

Bought 2 yesterday for £9.50ish from Banggood :disappointed:

Might buy a couple more

Do you have a link? How long does delivery take? Thank you

Are these only screw fit anyone know. Thanks peeps

Can these be purchased in a E14 fitting for wall lights?

deeeemon666

5 Sep 17 #6

Tempting, but seem to be only in the less-popular screw type?

refaey

5 Sep 17 #7

These are E27 only (screw fit, bigger size). You can buy converters off eBay for £1 each to E14 and other fittings.

I have contacted Yeelight in the past asking if they have them in other fittings, they said they're only available in E27 and that they have no plans to produce them in other fittings.

Ordered one - thanks for sharing. It's a steal at this price!

deeeemon666 to refaey

5 Sep 17 #8

You're right, they are a quid on ebay. Not sure why they would only do the screw type though as all of my ceiling lights are the ones with pins - very annoying. Although it's only a extra quid it still will add to the cost.

Gabriel959

5 Sep 17 #9

The most likely reason why these are the screw type is because AFAIK the only country that doesn't use screw type in Europe is the UK.

deeeemon666 to Gabriel959

5 Sep 17 #10

Had to look-up AFAIK but thanks for response!

These recently got direct support for Google Home, so now I can say to my phone "ok google, turn on the office lights" and it just works with no in-between services like HA.

I've got spotlights in the ceiling using GU10 fittings (plus MR16s in the bathroom). Will these look okay in the same downlight role as the GU10s (I'm fine buying adapters)? Is there any way to get them working with MR16 12V fittings?

jazzman466

5 Sep 17 #12

This will be my second of these bulbs, they work well with amazon alexa.

brettytopbanana to jazzman466

5 Sep 17 #20

Can I ask just how you use them with Alexa? I just cannot envisage asking her to turn on a light before I enter the room or am I missing something? This is not meant to come across as a dig, I am just genuinely intrigued.

Also can they be controlled using the normal light switch if you want?

brettytopbanana

5 Sep 17 #13

can these work with the Amazon Eco Dot? I am interested in these as we are having our hall stairs and landing decorated so a few wouldn't go a miss!

Me too, is it possible to order more than one with the code?

*edit*

No, apparently not:
"Code for single unit price only; VIP Price, Special Offer or Group Deal all exempt. "

Alexa "turn light off at 10pm", "dim living room light 50%", "turn living room light blue"..... It's all good fun!

brettytopbanana

5 Sep 17 #24

I have an Amazon Echo Dot but didn't quite understand how it would work. I am interested in these. Can the light still be controlled by the main switch?

rcfc87

5 Sep 17 #26

Thank you OP

Gearbest only allowed me to order 1

Currently have philips hue white but am excited to try these out - especially as sleep as android is supposed to be adding support for these soon

I paid the extra 40p for 7-10 delivery but was tempted just to go with belgium registered for free (let me know if this was the right choice as its my first time buying from Gearbest)

Thanks!

ah man, that is a shame, I have two lights in my hall way so one bulb will not be good enough!

She doesn't know it yet but the wife's just ordered one as well.

Thanks OP.

Or at least she would have done. It's now telling me that the code has expired.

coupon increases the price from £13.04 to £17.26??!

WiteWulf to kemik

It's very confusing: it increases the unit price but the checkout total drops to £8.49

kemik to WiteWulf

5 Sep 17 #31

ok cool thanks

kemik

5 Sep 17 #34

Checkout still didn't drop the price....weird

5 Sep 17 #36

I have now ordered two using two separate account. Strange thing happened though, when I ordered the second one, they sent me an email confirming the order before I had even put in the payment details!

Anyhow, I look forward to receiving these as they should be a bit of fun!

WiteWulf

5 Sep 17 #37

I keep getting "the code you entered has expired" when I try to order with new accounts :disappointed:

Ah well, one's enough to play with and I can decide whether or not to get more if there's another offer anytime soon

RoosterNo1

5 Sep 17 #39

Do these HAVE to join wifi network ? or can you just link directly to a phone ?

archarius

5 Sep 17 #40

Looks like it's expired now, when tried before it would not let me use it for US orders, even though it was supposed to be shipped to UK.

Can it be controlled without having to use tyheir app, by ip or something? I remember seeing something about that before?

Crikey, I must lucky and must have been one of the last ones to get the offer

bellboys

5 Sep 17 #46

Don't worry, there seems to be a new Yeelight special offer every day recently. Currently got 3 on order and will purchase more as the deals come in...

mario999

5 Sep 17 #47

Want to put these in garden lights. Anyone know the range of these lights? Does it depend on your Router range?

TylerDurdenUK

5 Sep 17 #48

Didn't know you could do that with Alexa, will try it when I get home

Mulva42

5 Sep 17 #49

My my... they do look rather ugly.

EN1GMA

5 Sep 17 #50

Routers got nothing to do with it as they can be controlled via no wifi connection. basically, you can be anywhere in the world, so long as you have internet connection(data or wifi) you can control the lights.

EN1GMA

5 Sep 17 #51

ive bought previously, got another on order, just thinking do I need another one..LOL

shalton

5 Sep 17 #52

missed it!

emanas

5 Sep 17 #53

These are fantastic, I ordered 7 of these and fitted them around the house now.

jazzman466

5 Sep 17 #54

It's mainly used in a side lamp that can be controlled remotely or with timers on the app to make the place look occupied when we are out. But it's also handy controlling it by voice via alexa too, for eg you can ask her to
"dim lamp to 20 percent"
"change lamp to warm white"
"dim to full brightness"
"change colour to red"

jazzman466

5 Sep 17 #55

You need to keep the mains power switched on all the time otherwise it will not be connected to the network. You then turn it off and on using alexa or/and the app.

mario999

5 Sep 17 #56

But if it's out of the range of my router, how does it connect to the Internet to recieved commands etc?

Syst3mzero

5 Sep 17 #57

Now I know this is a differnet product but the "Xiaomi mijia Yeelight LED night light" has one of the best descriptions ever

are you afraid of black children and/or old age? do you have a love escort? this could be the product for you!

popoyaya

5 Sep 17 #58

The bulb needs to be connected to your router, but the phone app doesn't as it relays the commands through a Chinese server.

EN1GMA

5 Sep 17 #59

I have no idea :thinking: didn't even think of that :grin:‌ :grin:‌ :grin:

Haizum74

Except it's stopped working due to an issue Google side

Haizum74

So do these, and you can do more with them than the cheaper ones

CampGareth

5 Sep 17 #62

It's back up again. I re-linked my xiaomi account today and it worked.

brettytopbanana

6 Sep 17 #63

I kind of get that but I know the missus won't entertain the idea of having to switch the light off by the app or by Alexa in the morning when she is rushing around with the little one and trying to get to work! So, am I right in assuming that if you do switch it off at the mains, it is just a case of turning it back on when you come back home and having control of it again?

I am the one in our household who loves the tech, the missus may as well have been married to a 1950's binman cause she just has no interest in it!

jazzman466

6 Sep 17 #64

It does go back to its default colour/state when turned back on. I also think if you were to flick the switch quickly several times in succession it will clear the settings. Also if it was to be used as a main ceiling light I think you would be disappointed in its light output esp at certain colours.
An always on/standing by separate side lamp is prob the best way to use this as opposed to a main light solution.

Haizum74

6 Sep 17 #65

Oh.. so it is, excellent. Thanks for the heads up

WiteWulf

6 Sep 17 #66

Nice! Ordered the second bulb I wanted but failed to get yesterday.

CampGareth

6 Sep 17 #67

You're right, but if you leave it switched off for too long it forgets its settings. I've found that since no-one's in the house during the day I've set my lights to always turn off at 9am. It also does a sunrise thing at about 7:15am, and turns off at midnight.

jenmumof5

6 Sep 17 #68

Just to note, you'll need to change that to the Singapore server else you'll come unstuck if you're trying to use it with alexa

buddn07

6 Sep 17 #69

Just set it up so that when she leaves the house, it turns off.

You can do this with IFTTT quite easily.

buddn07

6 Sep 17 #70

Bought two this morning, one through my account and one through the wife's new account.
Failed to get them yesterday, so this is ideal.

brettytopbanana

6 Sep 17 #72

oh wow, I kind of like that. However, when you say switch off at midnight, does that mean it is on all day every day?? Doesn't that cost you a bomb in electricity?

TazzyUK

6 Sep 17 #73

If you want to order more than 1, just get a friend, relative, neighbour etc to order additional bulbs as code wont work on a second + purchase.
Just ordered 1, code worked so will get friend to order another (Ive had 2 for a few months now)

TazzyUK

6 Sep 17 #74

These are led bulbs, so cost is very low plus you can play with settings.....scene management, sleep timer, schedules etc

brettytopbanana

6 Sep 17 #75

ah right, that is pretty awesome. I do have LED bulbs in the majority of my light fittings but I do like playing around with this!

6 Sep 17 #76

They also do a yeelight wifi led strips which i'm thinking about for a display cabinet (or maybe to light up my huge desk underneath when im in 'game' mode lol)

Another unecessary purchase made thanks to HotUKDeals....

CampGareth

6 Sep 17 #84

No it's not controlled exclusively through the schedules, so it's more of a catch-all in case I forget to turn off the office lights in the evening or set the bedroom lights to a nice dim red then fall asleep without turning them off.

EN1GMA

6 Sep 17 #85

I know how you feel. im trying to make life easier lol but she cba with any of it.

EN1GMA

6 Sep 17 #86

set it up with the IFTTT app yesterday for the lights to come on at sunrise. I just couldn't work out then how to set it so it switches off after a certain amount of time. so its a cse of it came on at sunrise time but then I had to manually switch it off.

Hi,if you picked British Priority then postage is normally 9 to 12 days but you can track your item once it has landed in UK via Yodel who is Gearbests courier in UK for British Priority delivery.

Won't adaptors make it too long for some lamps or wall lamps?

Blubell

6 Sep 17 #88

I'm sorry if I seem a bit thick, I'm 70 and not very tech savvy, could this be used in a lamp? Thank you.
‌ :raised_hand:

jenmumof5 to Blubell

6 Sep 17 #91

Hey blubell, yes, you can use it in any light fitting and if your light or lamp has a different bulb fitment, you can buy adapters to fit bayonet to ES or SES etc on ebay/amazon/Ikea for about a pound.
You can also work this either by downloading the yeelight app and using it exclusively on that or via Alexa if you change the bulb to the Singapore server which is easily done in the app then reset the bulb by switching it off and on 5 times til it flashes thru diff colours. I did that first then it easily connected to Alexa.

Worked for me just now.

6 Sep 17 #89

I tried the code (MILEDUK) and it said it has the code you entered has expired and changed the price from £13 something to £17.26 ! how does that work !

pete_101

6 Sep 17 #90

I picked up one of these a month or so back from another deal. It arrived and initially setup fine but failed during a firmware update and now refuses to sync to the network through the app at all even after multiple 'on/off' to reset steps. Not sure if anyone else has had similar issues.

Is there an app that can control all smart lights if you have a mix of these and philips hue?

PasPer2 to 5Rivers79

27 Sep 17 #113

Since the iOS 11 update controlling them via google home has become troublesome. i could say turn off x or y light but now it tells me the lights are not setup. When I look for the lights in the settings for google home all I get is 4 scenes.

Any ideas on getting back basic functionality?

rcfc87 to brettytopbanana

25 Sep 17 #110

Received my second one today too

I've actually stopped using my hue bulbs in favour of these - I'm so impressed with them!

ImpulsiveTurtle

are you trying to order more than one?

TylerDurdenUK to ImpulsiveTurtle

10 Sep 17 #103

I have one of the yeelight led strips, its pretty good and can be turned on/off with Alexa, the colour range is nowhere as good as the Philips led strips, however, its much cheaper. Beware though, the yeelight strip doesn't come with a uk plug but a 2 pin one and an adaptor.

PasPer2 to TylerDurdenUK

18 Sep 17 #106

Can you get wall switches which manually turn off the light but stil allow's access via wifi?

Here is video showing how to set it up with alexa

garlik_bread

27 Sep 17 #112

My first one arrived yesterday, little bit fiddly to set up because I accidentally chose Mainland China as the region, and then couldn't discover the bulb in the Alexa app. Easily resolved though.

Does anyone find the white colour a bit on the blue side? And I was hoping the bulm would be a bit brighter too, but it seems quite dim even when at 100%.
