The Xiaomi Mi LED Smart Bulb looks like a simple LED bulb. If Xiaomi manufactures and sells this bulb in India, they should change the base or ship a free adapter within the unit. The only hiccup is the E27 base that adds the hassle of buying an adapter, which also increases the height of the bulb by a few cms. Xiaomi’s Smart LED bulb will compete head-on against similar smart lights from well-known brands such as Philips, Syska, Wipro and a few others here in India. Installation is pretty simple and straightforward — simply plug in the bulb and power on. The LED smart bulb can emit up to 800 lumens of light and consumes just 10 Watts of power, and the LEDs have a lifespan of around 11 years, according to the company, but based on the hours of use each day. On another note, with modern homes adopting to more and more ceiling-based flush LED lights that mount inside false ceilings, we would only wish that Xiaomi also tries to bring in more variants into the market, similar to what other brands such as Syska, Philips, Wipro and a few others have.
