  Versatile lamp which sounds better than expected by let down slightly by control

So this lamp is certainly easy enough to install with just two wires but I was slightly concerned there was no obvious way to earth the lamp. So you might to worth checking with an electrician before fitting.The speaker is quite small but surprising loud and the associated app can change equalizer settings, so making it more bassy. However there was some rattle from the plastic grill at higher volume levels.The lamp is bright and changing the colour vis the app is easy but a little laggy. The brightness control gets a bit confused sometimes when then lamp it on the brightness setting and the app thinks it’s dimmed. The brightness controls on the remote don’t work for me at all.The app connects easily to the lamp and has plenty of settings but some settings are in Chinese but you can take a guess at what is going on.Overall not bad for the price but just let down by some of the controls and ultimately it’s styling which looks a bit cheap.

  Really pleased with it! Fitted in bedroom, living room & ordered for bathroom
  Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 August 2021
  I recently went to a friend’s house who had a similar light they’d purchased from eBay - I was wary about an eBay purchase as they’re not so easy to send back, it also didn’t have the grooves in the plastic so wasn’t as aesthetically pleasing. I saw this one and with the 10% off this month decided to purchase two - one for my bedroom & one for our living room. We were keen to get them installed ahead of the Autumn/winter nights drawing in. I am fortunate that one of my childhood friend’s husband is a qualified & working electrician so offered to pay him to come install them. It took him about 30 minutes to do each one. The light is super bright when not on the colour mode, and I love that the app or controller allows me to adjust the brightness. I installed the app to checkout the pre-set light patterns for the coloured option and we’ve settled on “rainbow” as our favourite. The sound quality is good on the speaker. I do have to turn my phones Bluetooth off at night when I’m watching videos on my phone and the light is on so that the audio isn’t coming through the speaker and disturbing the dogs but that’s not a big deal. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong but when I turn the power off via the remote controller I’m left with a very faint light still? When switched off at the mains that disappears; it may just be something I’m doing as it was only installed 2 days ago so I’m still figuring it out. I also can’t seem to get the app itself to rename the lights to “bedroom” “living room” etc. It’s possible to rename them on my phone’s Bluetooth but the app lists them both as “iLink” and soon the bathroom will be on there too so it would be helpful to rename them. The app gives the option to do so, but when pressing “save” it says to reopen the app to make the change, but when the app is closed down and reopened it defaults to “ilink” - my tech minded brother is going to have a look incase I’m not doing it correctly. These are minor things and I’m overall very happy with it!The electrician is the one who suggested it would be safe to have in the bathroom as it’s a sealed unit and so I’ll add photos once all the redecorating is finished.I’m looking forward to sitting down with a takeaway and watching Strictly Come Dancing with my light changing colour and I think it’ll really add to the beauty of our Christmas decorations too.
