PHILPS suffered a rival, not even Wifi LED smart bulbs

PHILPS launched a smart lighting product color, lighting based on Internet of things began to pop, but each brand still has some differences: some more color is more extensive, energy saving, some products are more focused on improving the network function.

Lumen Smart LED is derived from the Kickstarter platform start-up projects, compared to PHILPS Hue intelligent lighting based on WIFI, Lumen Smart LED uses the Bluetooth standard, so they don't need the extra connector, can directly use the mobile phone control.

Function and characteristics

Lumen Smart LED settings is very simple, you only need to access the lamp bulb, download the application on the phone, you can start pairing, eliminating the need for WIFI bulbs access router steps. Once the connection is successful, you can use the application to control, support for iOS and Android devices. The application is very intuitive, the main screen color area allows you to adjust the color of the light bulb, switch, or open / close RGB mode.

In addition, Lumen Smart LED also has a wealth of modes and preset features, including:

- two party modes can be played randomly with different mechanisms

The romantic mode can be yellow, orange and red in the flashback, probably in order to simulate the candlelight

Relaxation mode is similar to romantic mode, but the color is concentrated in blue, green and purple

- alarm mode flashes a certain color when you call

Music synchronization mode can be synchronized with the music played by the phone

Close mode can automatically turn on or turn off lights based on the distance between the phone and the bulb

- the morning light will light up slowly in the morning to help you wake up

Performance

Lumen Smart LED has a brightness of 400 lumens, brightness equivalent to 40W incandescent bulbs, but compared to the PHILPS Hue 600 lumens still some dark. Of course, the price of the Lumen Smart LED is lower, so the performance is acceptable. The advantage of Lumen Smart LED lies in a wider range of colors and a more accurate tone, which can achieve a more vivid lighting, especially in a similar "Party Mode" scene that requires a rich color effect.

The biggest problem with the Lumen Smart LED is the limitation of Bluetooth connectivity. Because there is no use of WIFI standards, so it can not be Zigbee or Z-wave automation standards, so it can not interact with WIFI speakers, home monitoring systems and other networking equipment, poor scalability.
