    Ah feck. I bought one of these a couple of days ago! It will go well with the RGB bulb, and with the apps now letting you group units, will be quite useful.

    I have a shelving unit above my bed that I may have made specifically to size for this ;)

    Do these strips reduce in size with some clipables or are you stuck with 2 metres?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,263 ✭✭✭robyntmorton


    There are cut points along it according to the info on Gearbest, so it can be shortened. The Q&A section also says that you can connect 2 together to get 4m, but as it is not a supported action it voids the warranty.

    Do you mean you cut it with a scissors or something?
    I would have imagined (If i was designing them anyway) that there would be clip on circuits after each bulb

    Without seeing it in person I can't really answer it, sorry!

    Hello Nilberto,
    We are sorry that the item is not compatible with Google Home.

    I took delivery of one of these today, and it is an excellent bit of kit. Not the longest thing ever at just 2m, but it's well made, bright, and works well with other Yeelights.

    I don't have a GHome or Echo to test with, so can't answer on those points, but if anyone else has one on the way, you'll like it.

    Thanks OP. Mine arrived yesterday. Works well with IFTT and Google Home. Set it up to replicate sunrise this morning, looks great in the bedroom behind the headboard. Was able to trim it to size using the cut points. I'll pick another up for the kitchen at some point.

    The sunrise and sunset scenes look better on this than the ceiling bulb. It’s a really great light!
