I needed a new bedroom lamp as the old one I had took up most of my bedside table. My old lamp was a "dumb" lamp with a Hue Bulb and it was connected to a Hone Assistant / Node Red automation that switched it on at bedtime. I wanted something smaller that would still be able to be controlled automatically and this little lamp seemed to fit the bill. I had been looking at the Govee lamp as it's highly recommended but it is also far more expensive and overkill for my needs (I literally just need some white light around bedtime). I thought I'd give this a go as the price point was just right. The lamp itself is pretty simple. It comes with a USB-A to USB-C lead, and once plugged in it can be controlled by tapping the button on the top (one for one, another single tap cycles through the white temperatures (there are three - "normal", warm and bright) two taps for off, hold for dimming). It can also be hooked up to Apple Home and Google Alexa, which is handy as I also wanted voice control. I really wanted Home Assistant compatibility and luckily there is a HACS add-on that provides this. It took around 5 minutes to set up - you just need to set up an account in the MeRoss app first and then use these credentials when configuring the integration. I was then able to just drop the new lamp in to my flows in Node Red and it works a treat. I haven't even tried the MerRoss app yet to try out the various colours but I'm not overly worried about that, although I will have a play around later. If I find there are any problems I will edit the review but honestly, for the £25 or so it cost me, this lamp is great. It's more than bright enough and it's small footprint has given me loads more room on my bedside table. Really please with this little lamp.

I was a little hesitant about buying this given the low cost compared to some other smart lamps available, and that it supporta Apple HomeKit (usually quite expensive), and given that I've bought lower cost smart bulbs that have not lasted. I'm only a few days in with this, but so far I've been quite impressed, and I'm hoping it does last. I was quite surprised at the weight of it, it's fairly light for the size, so I wasn't expecting a great deal when I unpacked it. Once out of the box, however, I found it to be of quite good build quality and a rather cool and stylish bit of kit. Setup is fairly easy, a single USB A (lamp side) to C cable and an adapter, then scan in the QR Code on the bottom and let the Home Kit app find it. It did take a couple of attempts to get it to register, but that's more to do my my router settings than the lamp. Once in the app, however, it's a breeze to use (although the accuracy of the colour selecter could be better). It is a small lamp, so white light on max brightness doesn't fill the whole bedroom (which is about 4x3 metres). Two lamps would do the job, but for every day use, I find the more subtle lighting to actually be better. Eye strain is less of a problem when reading or using a laptop, and my main lamp is getting only infrequent use. The colours tried so far (reds, greens, daylight, and an off blue/white) are fairly good, the blue/white seems brighter than just white, but I tend to use the more natural colours. Again, these can be a little fiddly to set up with the selecter, but you can have 6 editable presets/favourites, so you don't have to colour select each the time. Overall, given the cost, I'm rather happy with this, and may buy another. I've certainly looked at other products meross have, and if the lamp holds up they'll be my first choice for some other items.

Overall, product works and does what it says. It can be temperamental and I believe there have been some software update related issues (quite infuriating!). That said, it’s inexpensive, decent quality for what you’re paying, and a nice desk / bedside light. Can’t say I’d buy it again. Have other Meross products and all fairly similar: brilliant when they work but do have the odd “melty” which can be tedious.

This product far exceeded my expectations. Connected to my Apple home I found this to be very easy to use. The built quality is great as well as the software being refined. The light produced is more than enough to fill a room with the ability to change colours. Despite working best on wifi, I found this to still be highly usable when disconnected from wifi as there are manual controls on the base of the lamp to control the various features. This is a brand I would buy from again and a product I would highly recommend. Very good

The media could not be loaded. Using it for security and ambience lighting.Super easy to use and setup, don't need to be an IT expert to do these lights.

I’ve got quite a few smart products from different companies at my home (tapo, Govee etc). None have been a nightmare as huge as this. Yes my wifi is set to 2.4Ghz and works perfectly with every other device. The app is far from intuitive, there is no music mode, if you choose a party scene the lights flash so fast it may trigger an epilepsy attack but all of those flaws I would gladly ignore. Connectivity however I cannot. I can hardly use the lamp cause 70% of the time it’s not connected to network. Tried everything including resetting it a million times. Very disappointing product.
