MiPow PlayBulb Color review: The smart lightbulb that's also a speaker

 

My lightbulb can change colour and play music. What can your lightbulb do?

Our first impressions of the MiPow PlayBulb Color are strong. If you can get one for £34 in GearBest's sale then you won't be disappointed - not only is it a cool gadget, but the MiPow is a great talking piece when friends come over - and it'll prove...

MiPow Playbulb Rainbow

 

The MiPow Playbulb Rainbow is a solid smart bulb that doesn't require a hub, and stands as the one of the most affordable entryways into the world of colorful connected lighting.

Affordable. Bright. No hub required.

Laggy mobile app.

Conclusion The Playbulb Rainbow is a good color smart bulb for the price. It casts a good amount of light and it can phase through the colors of the rainbow in a pleasant, soothing manner. It doesn't require a hub and though the app is sometimes a...

MiPow Playbulb Color

 

The versatile Playbulb Color from MiPow works well as a smart bulb, but disappoints on the Bluetooth speaker and mobile app fronts. You're best sticking with dedicated devices.

Pleasant light. No hub required.

Tinny sound. Can't be used with most lampshades. Light shines up or down, but not out. Laggy mobile app.

Conclusions For the cost, the Playbulb Color is a bit disappointing. It doesn't offer much in the way of features or customization, and the speaker gets tinny even at medium volumes. You'll get far better sound quality from an inexpensive Bluetooth...

Mipow's Playbulb Garden will boost your outdoor decor

 

Mipow takes a whimsical approach when it comes to lighting. Its existing lineup includes color-changing LEDs, bulbs with built-in speakers and smart "candles" that blow out like the real thing. Now, the team is back with solar-powered lights designed...

Prices start at $19 for one light and go up to $209 for 10 lights (converted that's £12, AU$24 up to £135, AU$265). Shipping is free within the US and international rates range from $5 to $28 depending on the size of your order (£3, AU$6 to £18,AU$35)....

Mipow's color-changing LED 'candles' mimic the real thing

 

Mipow is known for its Bluetooth-enabled mobile accessories, but it has recently made a foray into the wild world of LED lighting. Merging its two areas of focus, it initially unveiled Playbulb, an LED bulb-and-speaker-in-one. Now, it's in the midst of...

Playbulb Candle pledge prices start at just $12 (roughly £7.40 and AU$13.15) a pop and go up to $99 (roughly £61 and AU$108.60) or more for a pack of nine. Though the original goal of $5,000 has already been exceeded, the campaign runs until October 2,...
