Yeelight Dimensions

We would like to focus attention on the size of Yeelight. If we were shown at presentation of mini lamp size of 22.1 cm by 10 cm and it seemed very tiny, in reality things would be very different.

Yeelight Bedside - is a big bedside lamp. It is massive, volumetric and it is much bigger than it looks on pictures.

To understand the dimensions of Yeelight its enough to put the lamp close to the average cat.

With regards to characteristics of Yeelight, they are as following:

    Height: 221 mm
    Diameter: 100 mm
    Weight: 700 grams
    Maximum brightness: 300 lumens

Synchronization with Yeelight goes via Bluetooth, it may take some time. After pairing, the user will be able to:

    lighting color management on your smartphone

Not so many options for use, but all of them are about the subject. Another awesome feature of Yeelight is the ability to sync with a bracelet Mi Band.

Paired devices are beginning to create real magic. Mi Band tracks when the user starts to fall asleep and suppresses nightlight automatically, which really cool. To test this clearly you wont be able to, but in the morning, when I woke up Yeeligh was switched off – thus, it works.

There are also cons that includes Yeeligth’s plug - it is flat, and most likely you will need an adapter.
