Light
The lamp can assume a color temperature between 2700 and 6500 kelvin. The lumen specification describes the brightness of the illuminant. The higher this value is, the brighter the room is illuminated. A 60W incandescent bulb has an average of about 700 lumens, a 60W halogen tube as well. The smart bulb under consideration here emits about 470 lumen according to the manufacturer's information from Ledvance. Typical light bulbs from the old days usually consume about 25-40 watts per hour. The smarthome light described here Smart+ Candle E14 gets by in comparison with 5 w. However, it is important to note that Ledvance is free to define this specification within certain limits. It is therefore possible that the power consumption may deviate slightly when the light is on at full brightness.
Design
Unfortunately, in this case, we have to start with bad news regarding the design, because the sustainability aspect was neglected in the light sources installed in the device. The manufacturer did not take the replacement of the bulbs into account, which means that the entire device has to be replaced. Ledvance opted for plastic/glas as the housing material and presented it in the color white. This lamp has a weight of 70 g.
Protection
The IP classification determines the degree of protection that mechanical and electrical housings offer against the ingress of foreign bodies, dust, accidental contact and water. These smart home lights have a classification of IP20.
