The LED bulb that, in addition to saving energy, will make your home a little more... smart! Through your mobile phone or tablet, it can connect to your space's WiFi network, allowing you to control it remotely without needing to go to the switch or be at home. From the mobile app, you can also select the desired light temperature for your bulb.
Remote Control
In addition to being smart, the bulb simulates the filament form, making it an ideal choice for upgrading the aesthetics of your space to a more retro style. Furthermore, the brightness can be adjusted to different intensities, allowing you to adapt it each time to your needs, whether you need low lighting or more intense lighting.
Comfort & Functionality
This particular bulb, if placed on its own, is capable of adequately lighting a small space of approximately 7 square meters. It can replace an incandescent bulb from 59 to 65 watts or a halogen bulb from 35 to 39 watts, maintaining the same level of brightness in the space.

Beautiful and powerful vintage bulb. In warm white, it has a very sweet light. In the maximum cold, it is not as "harsh" as other bulbs I have. Easy connection with the Sonoff eWeLink application and reliable operation for 10 consecutive days. Time will tell, of course...
UPDATE: It has a few disconnects and freezes. Nothing terrible. You unplug it for 10" and it reconnects. This happened 3 times in the 3 months I have had it.
UPDATE 2: With the new Sonoff firmware, the disconnects disappeared. Now the bulb has no problems at all.
It was too good to be true.
I bought 3 and only 1 worked correctly. The other 2, one I couldn't connect to the network at all, and the other one kept going offline for no reason. Unfortunately, I will have to return them for something more reliable.
I have used Sonoff switches without any issues, but the bulbs disappointed me
As intensity is good, as light quality is quite ok.
As others say in the comments, it takes patience to pair. I managed only in "compatible pairing". Apart from that, there is a problem with updating the firmware. Mine has version 1.2.0 and the latest is 1.3.5 (at the moment) with many writing that if you have a version below a certain point, the update does not progress for some reason (stuck at 90%).
Of course, apart from these 2 issues, so far I have no problem with how it works with Google Home.
First smart bulb I buy, with the thought that the switch is far away and it is not a dimmer. From the bedroom it quickly moved to the living room. I had a little issue with pairing at first, but then everything was perfect. What I didn't know is that you can control it without being on the same WiFi (and therefore from anywhere you have internet) - something that you can definitely disable from your router settings. Not that a 7W LED (with brightness adjustment) burns anything special; the WiFi receiver may burn just as much. Last good thing, it keeps the settings if you turn off the switch.
Easy to connect and it happened immediately. Good lighting. Adjustable intensity and Kelvin if we want cool or warm lighting. I have had it for a week and it has not disconnected from the network. For those who experience disconnections, it is better to change the router to one that supports more connected devices. When I had the factory one, I also had several disconnections from various devices. As soon as I switched to a much better one that can handle up to 250 connected devices, I didn't have any disconnections from any device.
After a short time, it loses the connection to WiFi. If they fix it with an update, it would be a fantastic lamp. In all other aspects, it is flawless.
At first, I had some difficulties with the connection but it was fixed immediately once I installed the firmware updates.
They are not very bright, but they are really beautiful and adjust very well. I have set some to turn on low only at night automatically (house entrance) and others to turn on when I enter the house automatically, they all work flawlessly.
Also, something "silly" that I liked is that they are real glass and not plastic.
Purchased for 9 Euros. My rating is 2.5 stars, there was no option for that. It gave me trouble with pairing in fast pairing mode, but it worked immediately in compatibility mode. However, the instructions are likely wrong, as it took 5 on/off cycles for my bulb to enter compatibility mode, not 3 as stated in the manual. For the price, it is good, but it cannot be compared to the yeelight I have. It is not particularly smart compared to a yeelight and has very limited functions. And obviously, I am not referring to music synchronization, it would be unreasonable to expect that at this price. It supports scenes through the app, stepless dimming, color selection, timers, and countdown to turn off, nothing more. What bothered me is that if you turn it off through the app or Google Home and the switch is on, when you turn the switch on/off to turn it back on, it doesn't turn on because it "remembers the previous setting". This is very annoying because it renders the opening/closing from the mobile and switch useless. It forces you to use either one or the other. So, you can't really call it ideal for a living room lamp, I will probably put it in the porch.
Pros:
+ Price
+ Appearance
Cons:
+ Limited functions
+ Relatively difficult pairing, but once it paired, it didn't present any problems.
The product is good, but I encountered issues with pairing. I was only able to find a solution using compatibility mode, by instructing my Android phone to maintain the connection to the lamp's Wi-Fi even without internet access. Only then did ewelink successfully pair. So, I cannot blame the lamp for the difficulty, but rather how Android manages connections
This specific lamp fully satisfied me for the purpose I wanted it for. I needed a lamp that would resemble the appearance of an old Edison lamp, but with the advantages of a powerful LED lamp with smart control. Through the application, the lighting can be as dim and warm or as bright and strong as I want.
Value for money product.
In the positives:
1. Appearance
2. Cost - at 10 euros they are competitive with On/off, Kelvin/Lumens settings
3. Decent for the average user IF they have all the SONOFF bulbs. Otherwise, you will have 5 applications for your 5 different bulbs or you will work with Google Home/ ALEXA
In the negatives:
1. Latency in changes
2. Communicates with Chinese SONOFF servers
3. Requires work to integrate it into HOME Assistant
Don't forget, without smart switches, when someone turns off the switch, therefore the circuit, the bulbs are unavailable.
