Thanks Stu, great video as always. Can rely on you for insights into the most interesting tech. Your delivery is perfect, also the ideal accompaniment to my coffee + bacon sandwich. Cheers again!
Great review! I hope they do come out with more lights - coloured bulbs and also just nice bright WHITE ones. E7 and I suppose Bayonet too ... my house is mostly set up for bayonet but adapters are my friends. Being a Yank in Australia I didn't grow up with bayonet and I'm sure I'm going to break the ends off every time I have to change a bulb. Aqara's motion sensors are so great to use but they're paired to a heap different brand bulbs. I'd really prefer to use one brand of lights once I find one I'm happy with, and that will work with my other devices. I love the way you set the lights up at your desk. It really adds a great vibe to the room. Anyway, enjoyed this video - thanks for making it!
@@StusReviewsUK Not exactly sure. I may use on our patio or accent the new 16' x 12' shed we put in the backyard. I guess my wife will let me know! LOL
Desk I’m using a frame similar to this one 👉 amzn.to/45vjfGI I’m using a hardwood walnut kitchen worktop as the wood for the actual desk. Speakers are 👉 amzn.to/47Ht3zi and ran through a focusrite The numpad is a generic one, but I’ve thought about getting a gmmk one to match the keyboard 👍
@@StusReviewsUK thank you so much for responding! Working on building a work-from-home setup for my new job. I love the reviews and have truly helped me with purchases. I always share your channel with friends and family making tech purchases!
Hey Stu. Hope you had a great Christmas. I've just watched your video and it's great but I'd love to know what your desk mat is! That's exactly what I'm looking for - long and thin, (stop sniggering at the back!). If you could let me know please that would be great. Keep up the good work! - D
So listning to you intro I should really go for Aqara? Used some Sonoff stuff for now, but thera are soon many bad surprises. Waiting for google home or Alexa or apple or matter to fix things is really two long. Can I use aqara without their cloud server, I.e. is there a hub with local aqara that I can use so I'm independent of having internet running ?
No one knows… some say it will implode, some say it will form a beautiful display of hearts, snaking it’s way around the room before finally constricting around my neck in an ending similar to Romeo and Juliette… who knows!
Anything is better & cheaper than the Philips Hue strips, so that’s not a good selling point for this 3 meter strip! Too little, too expensive, an unfortunate miss from Aquara.
My lighting nerd soul was shiffering for a bit. E27 is a standard, a mainland europe standard, yet americans use E26, for some godforsaken reason... And I feel like a fool for feeling the need to say all this. I'll see myself out.
@@StusReviewsUK as long as you think driving on the wrong side of the road is a good thing I will accept your statement as... ehm... you get the idea. (secretly I love the B22 fitting please don't tell anyone.)
Troll slayer book in pride of place I see 😂 xxx

Morning Dude, i like the idea of under floor lighting so I can do a Billie Jean ....
Moonwalk along the corridor 🏃♂️
That's funny. During this video you accidentally activated Alexa and she started a song called 'Just what I needed' by The Cars.
Uncle Joe's Mintballs!!! I had forgotten they existed!!!
Best. Sweets. Ever.
Love the review, Stu! I purchased one. I'm a big fan of Aqara products.
What are you going to do with yours? 👀

great video. Got my T1 yesterday. Have to find someplace for it.
Desk is a good one!
Can I know what desk you are using in this video, speakers, and numpad? Is the numpad the GMMK one?

Thanks for letting me know and replying so quickly!

Was not expecting the Paul Hibbert clip 🤣
He likes to pop up from time to time 👀
At €60, I'm glad for that 10% - thanks!
I'm not sure that your "unknown visitor at the gate" is really unknown...
Noticed the pipe there Stu. Are you a fellow smoker or is this merely a classy affectation adorning your snazzy workstation?
2:55 I want my GF back. You said "it's just for a few shots". That was two weeks ago.

What screensaver is that??
hello what speakers are you using
I have had lighting that follows me around in the dark lighting where I am am for several years now. Its called a torch.
Good to know you’ve moved on from candles and oil lanterns... but just wait until you find out about inbuilt overhead light fittings… 👀
@@StusReviewsUK I had t o move on from candles as Alexa could not blow them out.
Don't IKEA bulb work with there hub ,it work with my aqara g1 camera hub first gen.
Sounds like a staircase lighting solution waiting to happen 4:40
How does it compare to Govee?
Got a govee episode coming up soon (dedicated outdoor led strip) 👀👀
Seems like Govee is better
what awesome keyboard is that?
That’s a custom glorious gmmk pro… brass plate and everything! Expensive… but will never have to buy another keyboard again!
What happens to that light strip when Paul darkens your doorway?
No one knows… some say it will implode, some say it will form a beautiful display of hearts, snaking it’s way around the room before finally constricting around my neck in an ending similar to Romeo and Juliette… who knows!
Always glad to see Paul slithering onto your videos. I wished I had a friend that close to where I live. @@StusReviewsUK
That wasn’t Paul. That was his American cousin 👀
Oh oh. Don't tell me that I no longer have the Atlantic ocean to protect me. @@StusReviewsUK
Ash I see now
I thought Paul was the unknown visitor, until I got to the end.
Sure looked like Paul at the gate

E27, E26… none of it matters… because the glorious bayonet B22 is the best 🇬🇧. 😂☠️

Is it Matter certified?
Through the hub it is 👌
@@StusReviewsUK The G3 and the M2?
they missed a trick by not diffusing it
