How to setup cool work lamp for thousands of light customization. 小蚁智能灯泡和Ikea Tertial的好玩结合

This is a smart LED bulb from Yeelight that is wifi-controlled and capable of 16 million colors which I’ve kept an eye on this fancy little bulb for a while. Living in a rented room which serves as my bedroom and workspace at the same time, I always wanted to find something to replace the ceiling lamp that is in white light. I need something that can provide the space with softer light while being stylish and not breaking my bank.

Yeelight bulb will be fine using as normal light bulb without the app integration. With Mi Home App however, it can achieve a lot more than what the price can offers. It has to be mounted with the E27 connector and this is where Ikea Tertial work lamp comes in.

小蚁的Yeelight智能灯泡是个能变1600万种颜色的好玩灯泡，虎视眈眈已久的我终于入手了一个。生活在一个租来的房间里，这个小小空间就是我的睡房和工作室。奈何天花板的白光吸顶灯太醒目了，不适宜作为休息放松的好光源。我需要一些能够提供柔和光线的灯具同时也不能太贵，当然灯具本身也需要有点逼格才行。
Yeelight智能灯泡如果不用连接app直接使用也是没问题的。但要是配合小米之家的app，各种好玩的东西就可以开始了。它使用的接口是E27，所以就有了接下来登场的Ikea Tertial啦！

Tertial is a perfect choice for wall and table mounting lamp with classic steel design. The adjustable arm and head make it so flexible to direct the light into any corner in the room. Either pointing it to the desk for more concentrated work or shoot it up to the ceiling for soft brightness all over the room by reflection(love this method).

Tertial 是宜家一款能够装在桌上和墙上的灯具。经典的钢铁设计，可调动的臂弯和灯头都让它成为我的上上之选。把灯具射向书桌好进行一些需要高度专注的工作，又或是照向天花板让反射的光线制造一室柔和的光，我个人非常喜欢后者。

Installation breakdown 安装过程

Typical simplistic XiaoMi packaging using only paper material. Comes with a small instruction notes on app connection later. The bulb itself feels solid and heavier than normal bulb as wifi module is included inside.

典型的小米包装，全部使用纸材料，足够环保。随之而来的还有本小册子指导如何使用app链接。灯泡本身感觉很扎实也比一般的灯泡来得重，应该是里头的无线信号与灯控系统所致。手感不错。

The Tertial has several components which the assembling is as easy as Lego.

Tertial 灯具就如一般的Ikea家具般简简单单就可以完成安装。

White light mode 白光模式

After successfully connecting the Mi Home App to the bulb, you can now start to play with the lighting. In the white light mode, we can adjust the light temperature from 1700 to 6500k. Below is the minimum and maximum temperature respectively with the app control page. The higher the temperature the more yellowish.

成功连接了小米之家app后，就可以开始各种测试了。白光模式可以调动从 1700 到 6500k 的色温，色温越高颜色越暖。下图是最低和最高色温的对比，旁边的是app调动画面。

Default mode will be on if using without the app, brightness and color temperature will at the highest level.

如果不用app，默认模式会被启用。光度和色温都会是最高的。

Colorful light mode 颜色模式

The bulb features 16 million colors customization and you can control it at your will for various color according to your mood. Be it the blue light for movie time, warm yellow light for reading and red light for some romantic moment. Below is the focus shot on the green, red and blue light effect of the bulb. And the GIF is showing a full cycle of color in breathing mode.

小蚁灯泡具备了1600万种颜色的变色功能，能够自定义喜欢的灯光场景。不管是影院模式的蓝光，阅读模式的暖光，还是浪漫情调的红光，它都能够胜任。GIF展示了全部颜色循环的呼吸模式。

Verdict 后记

There are a lot more features packed into the app. You can:

Set sleep timer so the light will shut off after the certain countdown period.

Turn on and off the light without leaving your comfy bed!

Combine with another accessories, you can customize a time plan for the bulb on when to turn on and. But this feature is only available in the China region.

I personally found the combination of Smart Bulb and Tertial work lamp works great for me. I can achieve all light condition with just a single light bulb and this setup just cost me less than $30 in my region.

此小小灯泡还有更多的功能，譬如：睡眠倒数自动关闭模式，开关灯不再需要下床！还有配合小米的各种周边产品时能够自定义灯泡开关的时间表，不过这功能只有在大陆才开放。
我觉得小蚁灯泡和Tertial的结合是无缝的，非常适合我的需求。我可以调动各种光度和色温来配合当下的需求。再者，两者加起来花不了30美元!
