It can brighten your mood, help you focus on work or school, and at the end of a long day, can help you unwind.

In this video, I will review this light and show you a comparison with other types of colour Smart Home lights. I'll give you my overall thoughts and show you tons of creative ways to fit this light into your home.

I have on my bed side table and I love it. It’s easy to setup with home and I have some scenes already that use this lamp. I think it’s a great purchase.

Good stuff as usual Brad.

I’ve had one of those lights for a few months. I dig it. It seems more stable than some of the other Meross products I own.

Meross stuff as a whole is ‘hit & miss’.
- Their In-wall Switches have been stable since their last firmware update.
- Their GDO Controller still goes ‘No Response’ a couple of times a month.
- Their In-wall Dimmer goes ‘No Response’ about once a week.
- Their Outdoor Smart Plug goes ‘No Response’ at least 3X a week. Sometimes more frequently.

Just my experience.

Anyway. Again. Great video. Thanks for the review.

So strange lol I bought this a few days ago! I like it so far. The only issue I had with it was, I had to connect it to the Meross app before it would connect in the home app. And then the sticker adhesive protecting the touch button on top, was way too sticky and I had to scrub it with alcohol to get it off. Wasn’t impressed with that. But I will say for the cost and reliability with connectivity it is a great light!

Meross needs to add Thread support to all their HomeKit products. They would be a good competitor to Eve's rather overpriced products.

Great video thanks
Went ahead and purchased it as it will be a great accent light on the entrance table. Even better only £26.34 from Amazon U.K.

Curious about this 😉 cheers from Portugal 💪😃

Awesome video. Nice product for an out of the box solution. Would be nice if it had a flicker effect like a candle.

[lamiafarjana]

The lagging in brightness change, that doesn’t bother me. But, is this lag also present in color cycle? Like, can i set cycle of colors to change automatically and will there be lagging between color changes?

Please answer it… thank you

Hi Brad I’ve 2 and use them as bedside lamps they work great had them now a few months and work faultless

[nickc]

Hey just an fyi you can adjust the trim on the lutron dimmers to stop that flickering!
Also if your lutron dinner is off, if you hit the up arrow it will turn on to the lowest setting. Combing this with adjusting the trim I was able to make it act like a night light in the middle of the night

[leejenkinson]

do you know the difference between this and the 410?

[PadmaDorjee]

Great review Brad, you have inspired me to get into setting up a smart home now and just bought 4 Meross smart plugs. Subscribed Instantly!
Perhaps you could help with me? I have had this lamp for over a year and could not connect it so gave up, now I know why and can give it a go. Do I need to seperate the wifi bands on my modem router so it connects with 2.4ghz only? I was planning to start using the Apple AirPort Extreme router for all my apple devices which I believe combines both 2.4 and 5. Any advice would be appreciated mate. Love from Oz 🇦🇺

[amphreded]

Thanks for the review. I have Mijia bedside lamp and sometimes it is not responsive. Do you have the same problem with this one?

Also where did you buy your HomePod stand and would you recommend it? Just an idea, perhaps you can do a video on how to neatly organize the cables of your HomeKit devices such as HomePod, lamps, air purifier, etc., so the cables are not as noticeable.

[nickpanzeca]

Where do you find the home pod mini stands I see in the video?

[nasiraljarwan]

Thank you Brad

Can you please share the link of the name of the flip button

[nickpanzeca]

Can you do automation in home kit with this light?

[yuvalkedem]

Hi thank you very much
Is it possible to set the intensity of the light to increase over time?
I mean, can I set at night to automatically set the clock to 40% brightness in the morning at 8:00 and then 60% brightness at 8:05 then 80% brightness at 8:10 and 100% brightness at 8:15

[rajindersinghsidhu]

How to reset this. I’m not able to add it in home kit because I changed my wifi password may be that’s why it’s not working what’sthe solution?

[derickyam]

Je to connect Thiswaka smart light with My phone

[nickpanzeca]

Have you tried the Meross Floor light? If so, any thoughts?
