Is it possible to save the set color temperature and brightness for the Smart Ceiling Light so that it can only be switched on and off using the normal wall toggle switch and the selected setting always starts again when it is switched on?
Yes, you can set a default colour temperature and brightness for when power is restored to the light. However, it’s. Ot recommended to connect this with a standard light switch as once you cut power, it becomes offline, and therefore can’t be controlled by your smart home, phone, or automations.
Normally all devices that show up in the Yeelight app have this option, although I didn’t check when this was initially installed. It’s currently packed away, awaiting a new location, so I can’t check for sure.
@@homekitnews Thanks for your reply! Please let me know if it supports LAN control because this feature is so important to me. I use it to integrate with my home automation system. And can you confirm this light supports LAN control? Thanks.
It can be done quite easily if you have a little knowledge about basic wiring. It’s better to get professional help though if you’re not sure. Better to be safe.
Hi, it won’t work with a standard dimmer or on/off switch. If you were to use this in place of a standard light fitting, you would have to replace the standard switch with a smart wireless button, and connect the wires for the switch to be permanently on, or put a cover over the switch it’s connected to, to stop people turning off the power. Without permanent power the light would essentially be offline every time you turned the power off. Yeelight made special switches that acted as regular switches that could also be changed to work as smart switches for lights like this, but they only released them in China.
Hi, no it’s not possible, however, with a simple automation, you can get both lights to turn on or off simultaneously; when one is controlled by the remote, the other follows. This would only work for basics, but if you’re using HomeKit, it may also be possible to group them, so they act as one.
There’s an option for it to turn to the last setting that was applied when power is restored, but you can also set it to not turn on at all, or turn to a specific state when power is restored.
Hi, it requires a connection to your network if you want to use it via your phone, HomeKit or the Yeelight app, but if you only want to control it using the Bluetooth remote, you don’t need it to be connected to the network.
Hi. Help me please, i have two holes for the lights, i have room 35 square meters, big room and i need,a very good light, if i put two of this lights its be ok? Or not?
Hello! Any idea if those devices can be paired between them? If a wanna install 3 of them in a bigger room can I control all of them from one remote control or dimmer switch? Can all 3 devices be paired to function as one? Or the only way would be to control each one individually from the mobile app?
Hi, you can combine three of these in HomeKit, so they act as one grouped light, but each remote can only pair with one lamp at a time as far as I'm aware.
Yes, only one Bluetooth remote can be paired to the light at a time. However, you can still have basic control of the light using other wireless controllers via HomeKit.
I guess it does, but generally speaking typical usage of an LED light would mean it should last around 12 years, by which time you may well have thought about changing it.
This was purchased in Taiwan, and is visible when set to the Taiwan server, but as it’s available in a few different territories, you should be able to add it to your region, if it’s for sale there. It pairs via Bluetooth initially, so it could be that it only shows up once it’s ready to pair.
@@ВиталийБезлуцкий if the YLXD50YL was easily available where I am, I would definitely have gotten it, as I like the idea of the colour mood light that lights the ceiling.
Hi, this lamp is listed as only suitable for 15 to 25m2, so it probably wouldn't be quite enough for your living room. Having said that, if you have a light fitting capable of taking three 800lm bulbs, and it's bright enough, then this lamp should be fine, at 2100lm (cool white).
You can turn it off via a standard wall switch, but it would lose its connection to your WiFi network at that point, so any attempt to control it remotely, or via automations would fail until power is restored.
@@homekitnews thank you. I understand that. However when you turn it back on again on the wall. Does it keep the configuration prior to turning it off on the wall?
@@omnyt you can set it to the last state or was on before power was lost, or you can set it to go to a specific state. These options are available in the Yeelight or Mi Home apps.
If you go into the main control page for the light, look for three dots in the top corner of the screen. Tap on that and there should be an option to set the default light mode.
@@homekitnews unfortunately, there is no option like this for this celling light and i already have few other celling light of xiaomi, will appreciate if you can share a snap shut
@@omersayag8909 I only made this suggestion as all the other Xiaomi/Yeelight devices seem to have this option. It’s odd that this light doesn’t have that option, but I can’t check at present as it’s uninstalled until it is relocated to a new room.
Unfortunately not, because it’s using Bluetooth it can only pair to one device at any one point. If it’s possible to group the lights so they’re seen as one, it may be possible, but I’ve not tried this.
I have the older mi ceiling light 450 and it doesn't have home kit support and when turned off produces coil whine noice. Does this updated version produce coil whine noise?

Just bought one today in my Xiaomi store in Paris, didn’t even knew these Ceiling Light were HomeKit compatible !
Let us know what you think once it's set up.
Hi Quentin Carlier, may I know does it have an option called Lan Control inside the Yeelight app (for this light)? Thanks
Great video, cleared a lot of things for me, thanks a lot!
I have a question ..does is need to be connected with electricity supply ? Or just bring it home and use it with wireless connection
Yes, it’s needs mains electricity to power it.
Thank you , great video
You’re welcome!

Such a detailed video, wasn’t expecting there to be such a video for ththis ceiling light I got today (for $90 sadly) but it’s very informative!
Would this be suitable for a bathroom. What would the exposure to steam do
Yes, you should be able to use this in a bathroom. Probably not a sauna, but a booth should be ok.

Aw needs special installation
It can be done quite easily if you have a little knowledge about basic wiring. It’s better to get professional help though if you’re not sure. Better to be safe.
Have the same lamp BHR4118GL/MJXDD01SYL, but can't pair with Yeelight remote YKLG0BYL ((.
What code of remote control do you use?
Hi, the Yeelight remote I use in the video is model number YLYK01YL.
If you had electricity down for a second at night - hope it doesn’t turn on by default assuming it was “button press”
In the Yeelight or Mi home apps, you can set the default state to your preferences when power resumes.
Can this be used with a regular wired switch and dimmer, IE can I wire it into our normal household switches?
Hi, it won’t work with a standard dimmer or on/off switch. If you were to use this in place of a standard light fitting, you would have to replace the standard switch with a smart wireless button, and connect the wires for the switch to be permanently on, or put a cover over the switch it’s connected to, to stop people turning off the power.

Hello. May 1 remote controller be paired to 2 ceiling light (for simultaneously use)? Thanks

Does this thing keep its settings when manually turned off and on from a physical light switch?
There’s an option for it to turn to the last setting that was applied when power is restored, but you can also set it to not turn on at all, or turn to a specific state when power is restored.
Does it work without connecting to router? just connecting directly to telephone for internet.
Hi, it requires a connection to your network if you want to use it via your phone, HomeKit or the Yeelight app, but if you only want to control it using the Bluetooth remote, you don’t need it to be connected to the network.
Hi. Help me please, i have two holes for the lights, i have room 35 square meters, big room and i need,a very good light, if i put two of this lights its be ok? Or not?
This light can cover up to 25sq metres, so two should be more than enough for your room.
@@homekitnews thank you!
If WiFi drops out will it still work with the rotary switch?
Hi, yes it will continue to work as the rotary dial (or the handheld remote) are bound to the light using Bluetooth.
جديد لكن غالي جدا جدا

Can you control two smart ceilling with only one remote control?
Yes, only one Bluetooth remote can be paired to the light at a time. However, you can still have basic control of the light using other wireless controllers via HomeKit.
Hi, does it keeps the previous settings after you turn off and turn it on again? Thx
Yes, there’s an option in the Yeelight and Mi Home apps for this type of option.
I can't understand from the video if this can light entire room (16m2) good..... What is your experience?
The lamp can cover rooms up to 25m2, so 16m2 should be fine, but it ultimately depends on your own preferences of course.
The thing is crazy bright. Don't stare at it!
I saw the review well. Can two switches be paired at the same time?
That’s a good question! I don’t know, but I’ll try it and let you know
if it doesn't light up anymore, does it mean you have to buy a whole new light ?
I guess it does, but generally speaking typical usage of an LED light would mean it should last around 12 years, by which time you may well have thought about changing it.
Does it work in MiHome with “China region” setting ? Can’t find this info anywhere (. Thanks.

Both the remote and the rotary dial are separate optional purchases. They’re both quite cheap though.

I’ve thrown the box 😩 I don’t know the code to use to add it on my HomeKit
You can also find the code inside the lamp where the LEDs are.
@@homekitnews wow! This is a great tip. I’ll unpack the ceiling light tomorrow. Is the code different for each unit? I have two in my house.
Yes, each code is unique to each device.
@@homekitnews wow. Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to figure this out for a year lol
Can the rotary dial control two or more ceiling lights at the same time?
Unfortunately not, because it’s using Bluetooth it can only pair to one device at any one point. If it’s possible to group the lights so they’re seen as one, it may be possible, but I’ve not tried this.
Thanks 🙏
Diameter?
It’s in the specifications at 1’33”.
I have the older mi ceiling light 450 and it doesn't have home kit support and when turned off produces coil whine noice. Does this updated version produce coil whine noise?
I haven’t noticed any sound at all from my device.
