mother took herself she is constantly making something and it’s just more pleasant for her eyes to set the right shade of light. With its pros: Gorgeous desk lamp. paired with Alice is generally chic. The official app from xiaomi has wider functionality than the menu in the smart home. I recommend sometimes to combine the ways of interaction with the lamp. when you just need light without problems, you can also command through Alice, and under special circumstances, the already mentioned application from xiaomi will come to the rescue. Has cons: not as bright as expected. more precisely, I'm not an expert and could not correctly guess about the brightness level of the lamp. however it still shines great.
