Impressive WiFi lamp
Added 2023-05-24 06:07:37 +0000 UTCI didn't realise how streamlined the design of these lamps/bulbs/globes had become. This one contains a dedicated chip for regulating the current on five separate channels for providing tunable white plus RGB colour mixing..
The power supply PCB is notable for its minimalist design and the WiFi module which has an Energizer sticker on it despite being in an Eveready product.

The large box might be to reduce theft.

2023-05-27 04:36:17 +0000 UTCI'd buy one!

2023-05-25 04:39:23 +0000 UTCPeople will pay more for a bigger or heavier box. It's a lizard-brain thing.

2023-05-24 14:19:59 +0000 UTCStrangely I managed to resist the temptation to download the app for a generic budget product. The IOT is often so badly implemented that it's a hacker's playground.

2023-05-24 13:34:27 +0000 UTCIt would be quite funny to get some printed with that on the case.

2023-05-24 13:26:20 +0000 UTCBigClive, when are you going to start selling Death beam caps?
Curtis Hoffmann
2023-05-24 13:13:17 +0000 UTCThanks for the explanation of "death beam capacitor". I had wondered but I'd mis-heard it repeatedly as "death bean capacitor" which didn't help. ;-)

2023-05-24 11:56:56 +0000 UTCInteresting that with some company apps that enormous number of colours is available but Google Home offers far less.

2023-05-24 08:17:27 +0000 UTCDisappointed, I thought you would have downloaded the associated data harvesting app and tested the WIFI/RGB features π€£
2023-05-24 06:33:55 +0000 UTCAt least here in the States, Energizer batteries have been a sub-brand of Eveready batteries for quite a while. Here's from the Wiki page: "The company (Energizer) has its foundation in the Eveready Battery Company, which in 1980 changed the name of its Eveready Alkaline Power Cell to Energizer. In 1986, corporate parent Union Carbide sold Eveready Battery to Ralston Purina. In 2000, Ralston spun off Eveready, and the company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange as Energizer Holdings, Inc.
