Execution of the lamp:
There is the lamp in two models made of Plexiglas - a "Clear" made of transparent material with a white border and a "Black", which consists of a smoking glassy ball with black border. While the "Clear" something cheap (plastic) works, making the "Black" for me a wertigeren impression and is also a decorative object. That's why I bought the "Black".
Function:
With the color wheel on the remote control you can erkurbeln own favorite color. This color remembers the lamp and the next time there again. A nice effect is the automatic color change, all colors of the rainbow appear consecutively in the. You can dim the lamp or adjust the color intensity. This is important if you use the lamp in the evening when it is dark. The luminosity would otherwise unpleasant strong. The lamp (tested to manufacturer, with 9 Watt meter) at full power 10 Watt. This makes it one of the strongest colored LED lamps on the market.
Remote Control:
She looks a bit cheap, lies with its disk-shaped design not good in the hand. In addition, the operation of the FB by the round shape in the dim light is difficult because you then yes only can guess where z. B. are the keys. Some steps are not intuitive and require a more detailed manual.
Why only 4 stars?
The spherical lamp has only a small flat on the housing, on which it is standing. This has not only a low stability, but is very limited in the alignment. So, if you want it, a vertical radiation toward the ceiling hardly possible. Since the Philips engineers have not given a lot of effort.
My tip is therefore to create a rubber O-ring from the hardware store of 75 mm diameter under. This lamp can be placed in any desired orientation (s. Video).
Neither effort Philips has given the accompanying manual. The illustrated exclusively with pictures folder has been very poor. So you will not find the indication that the speed of automatic color change can be changed. Because on the remote peculiar operating procedures need to be performed to display all the features of the lamp, it is also hard by trying it.
Here also to be found on the homepage of Philips manual does not really help further. There is the possibility of changing the speed of the automatic color change, will not be described properly.
In the video I show you how it really is. A nice effect when you have the paint circulation to a maximum of 35 minutes set!
Conclusion:
Although a star deduction because of poor stability, the bulky remote control and the poor operating instructions is a not quite cheap, but unique lamp in this segment with a diverse utility. Therefore, my recommendation to buy anyway!
