Not a bad product, but you can find a better one.

I use it, but I'm not happy about the purchase. I walk in part by touch, after all. I was hoped to acquire more from Xiaomi than from knockoff equivalents from a well-known Chinese marketplace by just purchasing a product from them. The Xiaomi model ended up being worse in certain aspects. Positives: The lamp has two brightness settings: bright and dim. I turned on the dim setting right away because I had purchased it specifically for battery conservation. (My no-name equivalents only have a bright setting, and the batteries had to be bought in batches and changed every few weeks). - A special stand design. I didn't anticipate such a strategy. The leg moves throughout the full spherical surface while being firmly held on the magnet (and "breaks off" if necessary). allows you to adjust the lamp's slant to practically any desired angle. - General appearance. It looks good when it's off during the day and on at night. At least it doesn't ruin the room's aesthetic. Cons: - The motion sensor's range is its main flaw. Only three meters away, the lamp can reliably "see" you. This has to be at least 6 meters larger because it is so tiny. In this case, a low-cost equivalent from a popular Chinese marketplace worked flawlessly (saw me from the next room). — The light sensor's sensitivity. Even when there is no night light in the room and everything is visible, the device starts to operate. That is, it is an energy waster. Our kitchen has one of these lamps. So: 1) The lamp is always on in the kitchen when we go there in the evening, when the light from the adjacent room illuminates the space so that everything is clearly visible. 2) But at night, when it’s completely dark in the apartment, the lamp “waits” until we pass the next room (although we are in its direct line of sight through the arch between the rooms), and only in the kitchen itself turns on (~ 3 meters from the lamp, when half "dangerous" path passed).
