Review on Yeelight LED Lightstrip 1S YLDD05YL, 2 m, LEDs: 48 pcs., 7.5 W, multi-colored, version: for other countries by Edyta Iwanowska ᠌

When you first hold it in your hands, you get the impression that it is of high quality. Lovely packaging (which reportedly accounted for 20% of the total cost), comfortable silicone, and pleasant plastic. However, once you begin using it, you realize that the developers of the software are too indolent, and the cassette cannot be exploited to its full potential. To begin, the number of colors is significantly lower than 16 million. The program does not let it, despite the fact that the tape can issue them at that point. Brightness and color are the only two options available from the color wheel, which means that only two of the three color channels that are available (RGB) can be used at the same time. That is to say, you are unable to activate the white hue in any way through the application, which makes use of three channels. And you can't use your voice. Simply put, such a command is not available for use with this tape. Long pressing the ribbon is the only way to sort through the color selections (there are only 5 or 6 hues to choose from). This is the only option on the ribbon itself. It seems that rather than 16 million hues, we actually have approximately 200,000 of them. It has come to our attention that you are unable to, for example, switch on warm white light. It was necessary to have control over each channel individually so that each of the 16 million colors could be customized and the appropriate one could be selected. It appears that the only color in which it does not shine brightly is white; nonetheless, it does shine beautifully in blue, green, pink, red, and other colors. Because it requires three channels, you won't be able to get any colors that resemble cream using it. In the screenshot, there is a row of color options that you can choose from. In general, I was not satisfied. It is not worth the two thousand dollars that they are asking for it.
