Really good product, few very minor flaws – E27 3W SMD LED 16-Color Light Bulb with IR Remote Control (85~265V) Reviews

Pros:
Very nice range of colours (including white), brighter than I expected it to be (for a diffuse LED based lamp) - brightness control. Build quality is OK, Quality of IR remote is really good. The smooth fade function is especially nice, giving a slow moody sweep, great for low-light in a dark room, gives a nice ambience. I can sit and watch it for ages. Can even be switched off by the remote. Very low power consumption, runs cool to touch, can be left on as a nice dim nightlight.
Cons:
"Strobe" function doesn't strobe, just changes colour every 10 seconds or so. Sometimes IR remote doesn't respond (just "freezes" on white colour). The bulb is long, and a bit of an awkwards shape... Not suitable for all fittings. The packaging is really inadequate for a fragile item by airmail (just a flimsy cardboard box in the jiffy bag)
Other:
Use it with the "reducer" edison screw product on DX, and it fits desk lamps with edison screw, like a lot of those sold in Ikea, for example.
Bottomline:
All in all, great product. Could be fun to have mutilple set up. Could do with better packaging. Get some. Kids and grown ups love them.
