Lumen - LED smart-lamp with remote control via Bluetooth

Smart technologies in the house make our life easier. Now many companies produce their own solutions for the “Smart Home” system, and our company is no exception. We decided to introduce a smart lamp that is controlled wirelessly. You can work with it using a smartphone or tablet.

Looking ahead, I will say that this lamp can even work as a smart alarm clock, gradually increasing the brightness in the morning. Of course, such a decision is not very useful if you wake up at 9 am in the summer, but at another time or another situation this is a great opportunity. In addition, the lamp can be used as light music. Well, what if you decide to dance, who knows. The fact that the lamp can be used as a normal source of illumination is probably not worth mentioning. Although already mentioned :) But let's see what else Lumen can do.

The box contains the lamp itself with an E14 base and a cartridge adapter from E14 to E27.

Control

The lamp is controlled using the Lumen application. Declared support for devices with Bluetooth 4.0 and above.

The application allows you to control both a single lamp and a group of lamps.

Functions

1. Light music

The lamp flashes along with the song being played, changing the brightness and the hue of the glow (light music). The song is selected only from the application. In the background, the application does not know how to play, after reaching the desktop, playback stops.

2. Call Notification

The lamp flashes in the selected hue and frequency during an incoming call.

3. Mode of finding in proximity

While the smartphone is in range of Bluetooth, the lamp lights up in the selected color. 2 minutes after the smartphone was out of range, the action, the lamp turns off.

4. Light alarm

5 or 10 minutes before the appointed time, the lamp turns on and increases the brightness to the maximum, thereby helping to wake up.

Experience has shown that the awakening was not "easy and natural."

5. Relaxation

The lamp smoothly changes the warm colors and brightness.

6. Romance

The lamp smoothly changes cold colors and brightness of a luminescence.

7. Party

Two modes: fast color change or gradual fading with the transition to another color.

Impressions of use

The lamp cannot replace normal fluorescent, even in the “Warm White” mode, the light is not warm white, but cold blue. The lamp in a single copy can only be used as a light clock, for the remaining functions there is not enough light output.
