Specifications
In this article, we present a comprehensive overview of the versatile specifications of the A60 smart home light from Calex. We have categorized this product as bulb.
Communication
A wide variety of technologies can be used to control the Smarthome light, each of which can have its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, control via Wifi can be integrated into an existing network over longer distances, but consumes more power than, for example, Zigbee or Bluetooth. Wifi is therefore only suitable for devices that are permanently connected to the power grid. A60 supports the following technologies:
- Zigbee protocol
Supported functions
The following features/functions are supported by this device:
- Control the light conveniently with your smartphone or the Bridge - switch it on or off as required.
- Change the brightness.
- Changing the color temperature like warm or cool white.
- The lamp can be adjusted so that it shines in a clear white.
- Automatic switch-on behavior.
Third party integrations
Don't want to use the integration/bridge that the manufacturer Calex specifies? That's not a problem. See the list below for all verified integrations that work with A60 :
- Zigbee2MQTT
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 806 lumen according to the manufacturer's information from Calex. Calex has defined the power consumption for the devices described here with 8.5 w. However, the specification may differ from the actual power consumption depending on which colors/color temperatures and brightnesses are set. For example, while manufacturers mostly measure lumens at white color and full brightness, the power consumption might have been measured at slight dimming. However, it would also be possible to measure at full brightness, which could lower the power consumption at 8.5 w. In short, this is an approximate guide from Calex.
Design
The housing is made of plastic in the attractive color white. The device weighs in at 160 g.
Protection
The smart home lights have a classification of IP20 and may offer a certain degree of protection against water, dust and accidental contact. Further details can be found in the IP code article on Wikipedia.
