I have been looking for some good lights for my gaming setup while I am streaming or recording and after reading some reviews of this product I just got them and since then is my best companion while creating my YouTube content. Gives a really nice effect as you can see in the pictures. I do have some other HUE lights that were way much more expensive that do exactly the same as these ones. You can connect them wirelessly and connect them into Alexa too. Great value for these 2 lights. Totally recommended

I ordered 8 of these over a year ago to light my garden – see images. I had them installed professionally as they needed a lot of cable to be laid beneath my grass.
VERY happy with the result, the app is super easy to use and the lights make a huge difference to the garden at night. Almost everyone who has seen them wants them for their own garden, very effective.
Shout out to the supplier “ustellar” who replaced one of the lights which had malfunctioned – not sure why this particular one decided to no longer show blue, but it did. I reached out to them directly, showed them a video of the lights not changing to the correct colour and they sent me a new one following day, excellent customer service given my order was technically over 1-year-old albeit I had not put them in the ground. They were really easy to deal with.
I highly recommend these lights and supplier “ustellar”.

Easy to set up ( you need to down load the app)
Works brilliantly with Alexa, you have so many colour combinations with them
I’ve installed then inside the house shining up my stone walls and the effect is just stunning
Look amazing. 1 out of 4 broke with water egress. The colour changing app is great.
Great lights very very bright. Very happy with them. Not getting 5 as they don’t sync to music. And it works be great if they would sync to each other in a pair.
Easy to use, lots of options to turn lights on via app, on time schedule etc so be need for light switches so just need power.
Great item and very easy to install but would have been better if it had motion detection.
Instructions are also out of step with the Smart Life app and the lights were more difficult to setup than other smart devices. However, when you do get them working, they are really excellent. Great build quality and very bright for 20 watts. A pair is enough to fully illuminate an average size garden.

The lights were really easy to install, and get it up and running on the app. Would definitely recommend this product.
The white light is really bright but the other colours not so much, but its more for giving an ambience.
Just the job – easy to install and was kept up to date on delivery which was excelle
So easy to use and connect to. 1 bad thing the leds where not long enough what I needed. they r about 1.5m long. But I find other stuff to help and keep the plug dry.
The set up was really easy. I have other lights on the app already, so connectivity was easier than expected. The lights look a robust build and of good quality. The cable is short, but I can hardly imagine when they could get it right, probably easier to leave to plug off and offer a water proof connector. The wifi works well. Will definitely buy more to finish the garden off.
I have installed 4 of these at the bottom of my garden, white light is very bright, colour not so bright but still very effective.
Well impressed with the build quality and ease of set up. Only let down is that they don’t have motion sensors. I’ve linked mine up to my Arlo cameras and lights. So they work from their motion detectors. It’s not simple but it’s doable!
Excellent product, well made , great price especially when on offer, using as security lights and mood lighting for the garden , fully controllable with Alexa integration, bought 2 , they were so good I bought another 2. Recommended to a colleague, he was so impressed he bought a total of 8 he was so chuffed
Good price but tricky to setup with WiFi but got there in the end. I cannot get them to connect to my Philips hue hub and motion sensors but this was not essential to me. I’ll need to get some other sensors. I can use them with my phone but not much use if I’m not here.
Excellent, virtually infinite (16M) colour range. Very good external WiFi range too – ours are about 35 metres from the router. You might need to experiment with the small aerial angle at this range but once set it’s good. The app gives loads of options such as auto on/off times, schedules etc. Good support from the company too.
It doesn’t help that their Novostella manual does not explain how to put the device in Access Point mode (or address the “which lighting device should I choose in the Smart Life app if I know nothing at all) – this information was only found (by accident) in the app. (The answer is: follow the on-off, on-off, on pattern until the light flashes quickly, then turn it off and immediately repeat the on-off, on-off, on pattern).
Warning: the light doesn’t start flashing until about 5s after the on-off pattern has completed, so if you are too impatient, you will mistakenly assume you made a mistake and start again… ad infinitum.
The devices would not connect to a BT Smart Hub 2 in EZ-mode. Not all all. Ever. Believe me I tried. The answer is probably because it is a dual band 2.4GHz and 5GHz router that has only 1 SSID. Personally, if the floods only support 2.4Ghz I’m not sure why it should matter, but it did.
In the end, I had to enter the Admin panel of the router and – making sure I had access to the same on another device on the 2.4GHz channel first! – turn off the 5GHz while doing the setup (then turn it back on afterwards.
After that, although EZ setup still didn’t seem to work (by that time I had spent so much effort on trying to make it work I am no longer exactly sure of anything), AP setup did work (though I begrudge the 2min wait for EZ setup time-out before I could try it)
After that, the Smart Life app controlled both flood lights as desired. Brightness a little less than I was expecting for what I thought was ~200W halogen equivalent, but in hindsight 200W ordinary filament probably.
On the other hand, the room is small, I have two, and the light is not over powering even at max.
Reasonably priced, work well at first look.
Just need to have their networking capabilities updated and the documentation clarified.

Really pleased with these lights. A bit of a faff to set up the Wi-fi (had to change the bandwidth setting on the hub) but once done everything has worked brilliantly. Easy and intuitive to control with the app.
I was expecting to receive the usual mass produced product but was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box at just how well made these little lights are. I read reviews about how short the chord was but I found them plenty long enough for my application (I actually chopped most of it off). Setting up was customary difficult due to the lights working on 2.4ghz only and my router forcing my phone onto 5ghz. Once I’d amended my router to force my phone onto 2.4ghz the set up was a piece of cake. The lights are super bright, much brighter than I’d anticipated and the range of colours is brilliant. They work seamlessly with my Google assistant. All in all very satisfied with the results.

Although veery bright when selected to ‘White’, not quite so good when displaying colour, possibly I am expecting too much.
While it is easy to make the beam move up and down, it would have been nice to direct it sideways.
Remote control by phone is good.
Great lights. I bought them for my garage gym and mainly for the ability to be able to turn them on and off remotely. Easy to install and very easy to adjust via the excellent SmartLife app. Quite pricey but still cheaper than others that I have seen. I recommend them very highly.

Bought these for hubby for Christmas, he’s very into tech especially Alexa and Google … honestly, if Alexa could flush the loo for us … (please don’t tell me its a thing, I don’t want to know!)
I’d already purchased and wrapped these, when he installed a cheaper remote control version in our garden, after the obligatory “discussion” about how he suggests a gift idea for him and then goes a buys it for himself before the big day, grr! I did wonder what I’d spent 80ish on considering his was 11. Turns out I needn’t have worried, these lights are far superior, very bright, work perfectly with Alexa and hubby found them easy to install. I mentioned that some people had remarked on the lead being short, he said it is fairly short but longer than most lights of this kind he’s seen but in any case he’s cut the plug off and wired it into the existing circuit in our garden – honestly, im surprised planes don’t land in our garden as it has more lights than the airport 5 miles down the road ha ha!
Overall we are very pleased with this product, the units themselves are strong, well built yet are compact.
Hubby recommends them and in fact put them up Christmas night!
He said his only suggestion would be to have a lawnmower type pin plug on the end to make connection easie
Quite a compact and contemporary design. Easy to use via app and also with google as part of our home setup for other wifi controlled devices. Will see if it stands the test of time in the harsh UK weather for durability. The build seems quite robust so let’s hope it does!

SmartLife is the app used with this light, and it detected and setup fairly easily…. Aside from the usual 2.4 Vs 5 GHz issues where rubbish phones(Android/iPhones) these days that don’t let you disable 5ghz temporarily for almost all SmartHome devices.
Cable is as is normal these days … Way too short and none replaceable.
Bright enough in colour modes to provide easy vision with ambiance. The white light is to bright to look at and can easily replaced the previous generation of 500w halogen type light and be equal in coverage and brightness.
Highly recommend.
Overall a great product, easy to install all works really well on smart life and tuya app just like any other smart light bulb. I cut off the plugs and wired the cables directly to a switch in my kitchen and the lights are on the outside of the wall in the garden. They don’t look great and have a very simple design but I can’t really blame the company for this the white light is extremely bright but the other colours are not really that bright and and it’s debatable if the different coloured lights actually do their job in the dark outside it’s more like for an ambient effect rather than actually seeing properly in the dark but the cool white light is perfect for seeing properly in the dark the wireless connectivity is very strong it works well at the bottom of my garden and the product looks strong enough and looks water resistant my only gripe is that they don’t move left and right only upwards and downwards on a pivot but I knew this before I bought it. I can’t come it’ll no longer tivity as they’ve only been up a week. To get the best out of these lights you need to use a motion sensor or a door sensor depending on the situation that you’re using the lights in have a daughter answer which when the back kitchen door opens the lights turn on on. Overall a great product although I can’t help thinking that I should have bought the higher wattage lights of the same version but I guess I never know now now. They are a bit expensive but I haven’t found any other product which says my purposes as well as this 5-stars

Lights worked OK set up easy had set of 2 one works fine beware 1 lamp is what I call faulty led stay on very dim all day and night when turned off and flicker when touch company say it is not a fault only 1 lamp does this… They would not replace it apart from that its a good like

Lovely lights. Look great in the garden and work well with Alexa.
The smart lights were easy to install and provide excellent white light and a variety of colour options and lighting modes.
My only criticism is the length of the lead which could of been longer.

Having previously installed LED lights in the garden from a cheaper manufacturer, these new Novostella units are much more reliable. As the weather worsened during Autumn the previous LED lights started to fail. Mainly due to moisture ingress through the front housing. Even though they are rated IP66 you can tell by the quality how the lights are going to perform.
These Novostela units are so much better!!…. from the moment you open the box and feel / see the quality you know they are going to last. Been installed for 10-12 weeks now with no failures
Okay they are twice the price of the previous – but to be honest are well worth it. (59.99)
On towards 20+ of these now installed around the garden.
App is simple to use and does what you need.
Suggest you bench set up each light prior to installing.
Make sure also that the WiFi signal to operate is within range.

I like these fittings. They are good and bright for a 20 watt and connection has never been a problem, like I have had with other fittings in the past.
The app is easy to use and the works well with Alexa.
I use them mostly on the timer function.
These lights come with an aerial which looks kinda like an old Nokia phone but do not let that put you off.
I have not tested the full WiFi range of the fitting from my nearest WiFi point but I have had no problems yet.
It will be interesting to see how the aerial remains waterproof into the future.
The dropped star is because of the short mains lead.
More colours than you could wish for, again controlled from the app, notifications to your phone of scheduled events, individual days or all week can be selected etc. Can all be controlled from anywhere, remotely. Brilliant functionality, they are also adjustable for brightness, can be sound activated if you’ve got music going in the garden etc. Very well made and apart from the short mains lead which can easily be sorted, they come highly recommended by me.

Two years on and still working, even through winter months.
The brightness in colour mode could be better but bright enough on white
I ordered these to fit on the outside of the Annexe to light the patio and the garden. The lights came with 3 pin plugs; however, my local electrician was able to easily adapt them to being hard wired using an external light fitting boxes (I don’t know the technical term for these) and wired the lights into the main electrics.
The lights are small and contemporary looking but inobtrusive. The lights can be controlled via an app on your phone/tablet and even Alexa. The colours and brightness are very flexible. Great buy.
Great but if kit! Work well on the smart app. Good range of colours and effects
I use Philips Hue lighting (and some cheap Wi-Fi LED strips) indoors and I wanted to add a bit of colour and voice control to outdoors also, but didn’t want to spend hundreds of pounds on Hue in case I didn’t actually like my garden lit up like a fairground. So I thought I’d try these for a fraction of the cost as a quick and easy test.
Set-up was easy and straight forward using the Smart Life app, and I added them to my Wi-Fi range extender in the kitchen as the signal from my main router won’t reach to the bottom of my garden. Connecting them to Alexa was also simple, as I already had the Smart Life skill enabled for other smart lights and plugs I already use indoors, so Alexa found these new lights immediately.
You can use the Smart Life or Alexa app to turn these lights on/off, set a colour, or alter their brightness. Adding them to Alexa routines is as easy as any other smart device, and enables you to automate the lights at a set time or to be triggered with a custom phrase.
Setting them to a constantly changing colour sequence is possible in the Smart Life app, by using a scene, but those scenes don’t show up in the Alexa app so you can’t automate or trigger those colour sequences via Alexa. However you can create a Tap-to-Run in the Smart Life app and that will show up in the Alexa app as a scene.
As you can see from the photos and video that I’ve attached, they’re quite bright for only 20W, but most of that brightness is only when set to cool white, whereas colours are somewhat dimmer.
The lights come with a sealed plug that can’t be removed unless you cut it off. The cables are quite short and weren’t long enough for where I wanted to install them and there was no way I was going to get the plugs through the garage wall or roof, so they had to be cut off and extended with extra cable and a replacement plug.
I’m still experimenting with colour, brightness and even placement/angle of the lights, but so far I like them, and I might even be tempted to purchase some more if the right deal comes along.
I can’t quite give them 5 stars because of the short cable & sealed plug, and the fact that they rely upon the often-flawed Smart Life app instead of building their own.

Great set of smart flood lights. Really good smart lights. Use with the smart home app, at first was having trouble setup the lights to the app but found instantly when moved closer to WiFi router, after the initial setup all is good. Great colours and very bright even in the summer evening. Will probably purchase a few more for the garden to light up a few a trees and summer house. We used the provided 3 pin uk plug, with a covered outdoor socket. But I’m sure these can be wire in using a junction box and amour cable for floor installation. Overall very impressed.
Really pleased with these lights. easy to set up and the WiFi range is good I have no problem controlling them from my house.
Nicely made and they produce a nice bright white light. The coloured light, not quite so much, which is a bit of a shame as I was hoping to illuminate the whole garden at night but without flooding the neighbours houses with white light.
Connection to the app was painful and the setup mode of these floodlights has them flashing like a demented lighthouse. It took about half an hour to persuade them to actually connect and, in common with other devices with similar functional behaviour, they only work on 2.4MHz Wifi bands, which are pretty crowded in urban areas. You also need to delete an vestige of 5MHz wifi passwords off your phone to make the setup work and it’s still very slow to complete. A user account is required to use the associated app. Once completed though the lights work just fine and connect up to Alexa easily. I may have to buy more though to illuminate the garden enough.
One small problem with the design though: they’re made with moulded plugs, so unless you already have totally weatherproof outside sockets which allow use while maintaining their watertight nature, you’re going to have to chop the plug off and rewire it once you’ve drilled a hole to get the wire through a wall. There’s only 5 feet of flex to play with as well, so you might have a bit of a wiring mission to get it all up and running and fitted. The wire comes out the bottom of the light and the aerial for the wifi is on the top, so you can’t comfortable rest the light on a surface using the bracket, so just keep that in mind when considering how and where to install it. If only it were possible to connect a wire to them rather than joining wires together, but they don’t seem to be possible to dismantle. I’m handy enough with these things but given the fairly feeble colour light output, I’m having to rethink the positioning under the eaves for garden illumination as it’ll be too far to the ground to do much good, so I foresee weatherproof wiring junction boxes to position the lights effectively at a lower level. Not impossible, just a bigger job. Still happy with the lights themselves though

One small problem with the design though: they’re made with moulded plugs, so unless you already have totally weatherproof outside sockets which allow use while maintaining their watertight nature, you’re going to have to chop the plug off and rewire it once you’ve drilled a hole to get the wire through a wall. There’s only 5 feet of flex to play with as well, so you might have a bit of a wiring mission to get it all up and running and fitted. The wire comes out the bottom of the light and the aerial for the wifi is on the top, so you can’t comfortable rest the light on a surface using the bracket, so just keep that in mind when considering how and where to install it. If only it were possible to connect a wire to them rather than joining wires together, but they don’t seem to be possible to dismantle. I’m handy enough with these things but given the fairly feeble colour light output, I’m having to rethink the positioning under the eaves for garden illumination as it’ll be too far to the ground to do much good, so I foresee weatherproof wiring junction boxes to position the lights effectively at a lower level. Not impossible, just a bigger job. Still happy with the lights themselves though
Love these garden lights. They are so bright. Connected no problem to the smart life app and work with different ‘scenes’ on the app. Brighter and much cheaper than the leading smart light brand. They all come with an individual plug and i needed them wiring in series by an electrician but he had no problems doing this. Unless you have a lot of sockets nearby you will probably need to do something similar as the cable is not very long.
Update… worked great for 6 months bht now 4 of the 6 will not turn blue and 1 of them can only turn red or white now.
These are a pair of lights which I installed, one to flood the front drive and one to flood the garden and patio. Links well to Alexa so I just need to say ‘turn on the garden light’, turn on the drive light etc. Full control of colours and brightness through Alexa of course. The lights are about 20M from the router and no issues with distance. Using the Smart Life app the lights come on automatically at 7:30pm and go off at 11pm. Its summertime so they don’t come on in the morning. All in all a tidy bit of kit, only thing missing is motion detection but that’s not a problem with me.
I had a similar (but cheaper) LED flood last year and it packed up after 3 months, hope these don’t suffer the same fate but if they do I’ll re-review.
Great lights installed them in January and they worked well nice and bright with plenty of colour modes and sequences to choose from you can link them together but we have ours separate. Work well off the mobile phone through the app. Unfortunately one of the lights has recently got some moisture inside it and is now steamed up. I contacted the seller and they helped me come a solution in just a few emails. Would definitely buy from this seller again and thanks for helping me.

Great garden lights, much brighter and more noticeable than other GU10 style fittings that I have in the garden. Easy to set up (there’s a few good vids online showing how to do it if you cant be bothered to read the manual!) and works seamlessly with my Echo for voice control. They look well built, cant comment on how long they’ll last as only just got them but they look solid. Great stuff.

Received these lights quicker than was stated. I haven’t installed them on the outside wall yet but I have linked them up to the app and stood outside with them just to see how bright they are. Got to say I am pleasantly surprised. Wasn’t sure what to expect when I read some of the reviews but the brightness is extremely good. Just one of these lights up our entire back garden on a 3rd of the full brightness and our garden is pretty long. As others have stated the power is significantly reduced when on anything other than white, but good if you’re relaxing on a summers night in the garden. Only downside is the length of the cable. I will need to extend the wires to be able to plug these in but that’s the same with most of these kind of outside lights. Would definitely recommend these

These lights are fantastic.
Not sure if I will use the various colours but the white light is nice and bright.
Cable is short and I had to cut the plug off and extend it for use in my garde
We brought this twin pack as spot lights in our front garden to shine up at the house.
For our purpose, they work very well, colours are great, app works as I would have expected. We have not used the plugs and connected straight to a junction box (after checking with support) and it’s brilliant.
They are black boxes and nearly invisible. We have ours to turn on and off at set daily times. WiFi range is good for us and both are about 3 metres from nearest mesh mode and work well.
Superb – so far so good.
Having used this product for a week. Just great and worked every time.
Seen a few reviews and videos online ,i like these loads of smart devices around the home and need some for the garden,wow was i surprised easy install great quality and bright ,fitting was relativity easy need an Alan key to remove bracket to attach to the wall, which was not supplied and maybe at this price it wouldn’t have hurt to put one in ,connection to wifi was a doddle already had the app for my plugs and lights ,wife wanted to call it Simon {we have so many its easier},Alexa turn on Simon, Alexa set Simon to red,50%,wow really impressed looking to order another set once i get more sockets in the garden due to the cable being a bit short but i must say its good strong cable ,value for money a little steep but you get two think if buying 2 sets should get a little discount ,overall really happy

Wow just wow, they are at the bottom of my garden, 40ft, i do have mesh wifi though so guess this helps,
Alexa controlled colour changing lights
My log store looks amazing
Great outdoor lights that work with alexa. Easy to install and they do give off a great light very happy with them. Just wish the lead could off been longe
I bought these when they were on offer. Being a bit of a “smart home geek” I wanted to include garden lights with scenes into my home automation, e.g. when the gates open turn on lights etc.
These are nice and bright and whilst I doubt I’ll use it much the RGB functionality is welcomed.
My only complaint is that the wires are far too short.
Have these internally and externally. Compatible with Alexa as well as having its own smart home app. Highly recommended. Only downfall is the cables are very short.
Good product, easy to install, setting up with Alexa a bit tedious.
I bought these to replace a pair of ten year old traditional floodlights that were installed ten years ago that constantly required new bulbs.
I wanted wifi controlled LED floodlights but these were more suitable as they are “alexa controlled” rather than mobile phone which I don’t always have with me. They come with three pin plugs attached which my electrician cut off before wall mounting them outside and I would strongly suggest that you should plug them in and get them working with Alexa prior to cutting the plugs off and installing them.
The light emitted is about the same strength as the old traditional floodlights so i am very happy with the purchase
I’d say best on the market, very bright, low consumption, lovely colours if required & once connected to the app will seemlesley join your Google home for voice control.
Just remember to disable 5 GHz on your WiFi on initial setup their after 5 GHz can be switched back on.
These are very effective, and give a nice colour intensity. The whites tend to be bright for me, with colours dimming more – but it’s for outside, so it shouldn’t be an issue.
I have managed to set these up by turning off wifi smart optimisation(, or similar term on my router), and giving myself a different wifi name for my 2.4ghz network – connecting to that and setting up.
You can authenticate Smart Things with ifttt, which is potentially interesting – however there seems no way to make the bulbs accessible from ifttt. Is there an IFTTT PIR outdoor motion sensor?
I really want a ZigBee version of this product, though, but ifttt would go a long way to making this useful.
The only real gripe I have, is the power cord is way too short for outside use. I had to get my electrician to extend them as I wanted to light up my entire house from all 4 sides. I can’t understand why you world make them with such short power cord, especially for outside use.
So I would love if they came with the option of a long power cord and an option for much brighter light on the colour options. Like 60W.
But overall I’m still extremely happy I bought them and I love the way they complement the house. So yes I would reconnect them all day long

Can take a few times to get the lights connected to the app, I found the second option for connecting the lights the best but once you do, you don’t need to do it again, even if you unplug them when you plug them back in there just connect to the network and work. Great that they work on your own internet so as long as you have the internet at home you can control the light from your mobile anywhere I have 6 lights around my garde
Excellent value, many colours, easy to fit, easy to install onto home products.
Purchased to brighten up for grandchildren.
It was easy to follow instructions and worked well.
Slightly overpriced when purchased despite being on offer.
Bought these to replace our ageing remote controlled PIR Steinel floodlights which were mounted high up on the eves of our rural home. We just needed enough light to see our way to garden out-buildings in the winter nights and occasional garden lighting for social gatherings. They seem about as bright as a 150W halogen lamp in a mid-white colour temperature setting. I’m not keen on having global internet corporations eavesdropping on our family life and so have resisted any home automation until these. We have restricted our use to the ‘push to talk’ facility available on our Firesticks, which works rather well. I particularly like being able to just bark ‘five minutes’ into the Firestick remote, which turns the lights on for enough time to put the bins out without me having to remember to turn them off again. We can also set the lights to do daft colour changing, which help delivery drivers find us in the dark.
I really want a second pair of these lamps, but having bought the current set with a 40 discount voucher I am holding out in the hope that the very generous offer is repeated at some point in the near future.
Oh, and by the way, they were very easy to set up. Not having experimented with Alexa or Google home automation before, it was still a very intuitive and painless experience.
They have a robust metal casing (waterproof), connect via wifi 2.4ghz, work great. You can dim the light (very bright on max) change colours, add timers, add routines, works with Alexa, turn on from anywhere. You can set an arrive/depart automation (depending on smartphone signal). There are other automations too, such as dawn to dusk, temperature range etc…
it remembers the last settings. I have since bought another 4 sets to go in the garden (on its own timers), they are very reasonably priced, you can group lights to have just the one control (Rather than each on their own control). One of them I have plugged into my Hive plug so switches on when my hive door sensor is activated, I know you can add door sensors, motion sensors which can link to the lights via the SmartLife App.
Would highly recommend these lights.

Its good little light, just wish it had more options to customize, flashing, colours etc.
Brighter than the sun!! Outrageously bright led lights, excellent adjustability, app simply works. Colour changes a major bonus. Length of cable the only drawback, but as are plug ended I suppose had to be a fixed length.
I have bought exactly this a month ago but cannot set them up . Both lights could not be recognised and be added to the app. After 5 hours of trying they still did not work..so I returned them.After that
I read reviews from other buyers,they said the lights worked for them.
So I bought again to have another attempt .
This time….
In the pack there were 2 lights. The first worked and set up in 30 seconds…the second light had to be reset 5 times before it eventually was recognised and be added.. only time will tell how long they will last. But I am happy so far.
Awesome product and great value for money with the smart feature sets on this. Own App- WiFi – Echo control
I really like these lights. They’re well made, get good wifi reception and they’re bright for their size.
They were quick and easy to set up using the factory firmware, although I don’t like the reliance on an external provider so have installed Tasmota firmware on them and integrated them into my smart home.
I haven’t installed outside yet so time will tell how long they last in the elements, but so far so good.
The lights are constructed mostly of what appears to be powder-coated steel, quite solid and heavy with a glass/not plastic front. There is an adjustable metal bar that you can use to either stand the lights on the ground at an angle, or attach to the wall (fixings not provided, but you just need one screw and a suitable rawplug).
A sealed UK 3-pin plug is attached – I had to cut this off to pass the cable through the wall. At the top of the light is a connection for attaching a short ariel (supplied) to connect to WiFi. (Note if you’re planning to do the same, you need a VERY long drill bit to get through a cavity wall and it also helps to attach the cable to a thin metal rod in order to push it through neatly.)
Connection to WiFi is straightforward, providing you’re using 2.4GHz, NOT 5.0GHz – really easy instructions to follow and it takes just a couple of mins. Once this is done, it’s easy to add them to Alexa where you can turn them on/off and control the brightness etc.
Great quality and work exactly as required. Couldn’t ask for more.

very easy to install and setup, great price and product.
Very good lights that can be controlled for the internet.
Glad bought this (bit pricey but you get two units). Using it for my basement work, and the brightness is amazing, to the point you can’t look at it directly. Took a min to setup (instruction booklet was not clear, but was easy, you have to switch it on/off 3 times to get to pairing mode over WiFi). After, the set up takes a min. App functions (choice of colors) are great. Overall would recommend.
Connected to Wi-Fi easily and works well with Alexa. Bright and look good when mounted, solid and quite heavy.
The only issue I had was routing the power – ended up cutting off the moulded plugs to feed the cable inside.

Fantastic. Easy to put up. Works well with Alexa
Well worth it. The lights can also synchronise with each other when both set on same setting
Setup was incredibly easy although you have to be careful when you plug them in as they come on and if you are looking at them directly you will be seeing dots for a few minutes. Once you have downloaded the app on your smartphone or tablet (both Apple and Android are supported) they link seamlessly to Alexa – or Google Home which I don’t have so can’t comment. Using the app you can link them to your 2.4GHz WiFi and it’s worth noting you cannot use them or connect them at all unless you have 2.4 GHz – if your WiFi is the 5.0 GHz standard there is no way to Bluetooth or connect them. Using Alexa, you can use voice commands to switch the lights on or off, change brightness or change colour.
Using the app you have three modes of control:
1. A white mode where you can alter the brightness % and colour temperature of the white (warm to blue hue)
2. A colour mode where you alter the colour and brightness etc.
3. A scene mode with some ready made presets where you can change or fade colours in and out or flash with different timings. You can also create your own presets and save them.
I’ve only had them a few days but very pleased so far so highly recommended provided you have 2.4 WiFi. They are IP66 Waterproof rated and there are brackets supplied for wall mounting but no fixings or screws etc. Be warned the cable supplied is quite thick and relatively short (a metre and a bit) and has a moulded plug on it so I’m not sure how I’m going to mount them outside and get power yet.
