Cube26 is an Indian company launched its first smart bulb last year. After the success of their launch last year, the company has come up with new products this year, but this time with a new brand name called Reos. The company has launched its new version of IOTA smart bulb last month and named it as Reos Smart Lite.
Internet of Things [IoT] is significantly growing worldwide. Many of the Indian startups are also started working on many consumer IOTA devices. Among the other smart IoT devices, Smart Lights are one of the latest trendy device coming at an affordable price for consumers. Yes, You can control lights with smartphone. With the affordable price, every consumer can experience the IoT in their home. Adding to the list of affordable smart devices, Cube 26 launched its newer version of smart lite at a budget price in India.
I have been using it in my home now for the last few days and here is the detailed review about the Reos Smart Lite.
Reos Smart Lite Review:
The Smart bulb is designed in a trendy way. The dimension of the product is 80 x 110 mm. By default, the bulb has an E27 base, but no worries you can use the B22 converter to use it on your existing home or office holders.
This bulb is 13W and it has the brightness level of 1100 Lumens. Now you can ask what are lumens in light bulbs? With the recent lights designed to use less energy/power, wattage is no longer a reliable way to gauge a light bulb’s brightness. Lumens measures the brightness of the light. A standard 60-watt incandescent bulb, may produces about 800 lumens of light[approxiametly].
The connectivity is through Bluetooth and it works up to 15 meters. You can connect up to 7 bulbs at a time. The light can produce 16 Million Color pattern.
