Light
With many lamps, the color temperature can be adjusted via app. In this model, the color temperature ranges from 2700 kelvin to 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. Power consumption was reported at 5 w from Ledvance.
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 chose plastic/glas as the casing material. The color was kept in white. The device has a weight of 70 g.
Protection
The IP rating classifies and evaluates the level of protection that mechanical and electrical enclosures provide against ingress, dust, accidental contact and water. These smarthome lights are classified as IP20.
