the ‘yeelight’ doesn’t necessarily need the app to use the basic functions, because the designers added a touch-enabled top interface that allows users to control brightness, select different modes and slide to choose the colors. the lamp has three preset modes – white, flow and night mode. the ‘white’ setting shines canary yellow for a comfortable and warm relax atmosphere. ‘flow’ emits four colors in random order and ‘night’ mode allows users to set a time, where the it turns on with soft light automatically. at the bottom, a brushed aluminum base houses the hardware to adjust the 14 LEDs that use color-mixing algorithms to combine to create different color temperatures.

wireless connectivity allows users to remotely control the light from anywhere in the world. the app allows the ‘yeelight’ to turn on or off automatically, but also includes be programmed at pre-set times, so the light can be on when someone comes home.
