Yeelight Bedside Lamp with HomeKit Now Available

Yeelight, who we seem to be featuring at least once a week right now, have stepped up the pace yet again, with the release of their new HomeKit compatible bedside lamp. This follows on from the release of the Yeelight Star Floor lamp, and two new ceiling lights, all of which are homeKit compatible. This lamp was first revealed at CES 2019, in January, then after a relatively quiet few months, it came back into the spotlight (no pun intended) when Yeelight announced a ton of new products, that included new a Bluetooth Mesh HomeKit hub and lights as well as firmware updates to some of their legacy products. Phew!

So, this new lamp which is essentially a ‘half pint’ version of the Mi Bedside Lamp 2, is full colour, is compatible with Mi Home, Yeelight and Apple’s Home app, and will work in all regions, as it covers 100-240v @ 50/60Hz. It uses Wifi, with Bluetooth for initial setup. Here are some specs;

• Voltage: 100 – 240V / 50 – 60Hz / 0.1A

• Colour rendering index: Ra80
• WiFi: IEEE 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz
