Xiaomi's first floor lamp is going on sale. It shines with two lights and can display 16 million colors

A classic floor lamp in the living room usually doesn’t do much. You turn it on, turn it off, and that’s it. Xiaomi has now launched a model in China that adds colors to regular lighting to set the right evening atmosphere and offers mobile control. It is equipped with two lights that you can set independently.

Two independent lights and 16 million colors

As reported by the Chinese server ITHome, the lamp for Xiaomi is manufactured by the company behind the Yeelight brand, which also has a range of its own smart lights. According to the manufacturer, the main light source can handle 16 million colors and provides vibrant backlighting. The upper light shines diffusely and provides softer ambient light, making the lamp suitable for evening ambiance as well as general lighting. Both lights can be controlled independently.

There are 10 static and 8 dynamic lighting effects available, which you can switch between according to your mood. Brightness can be continuously adjusted from 1 to 100%, and color temperature from 1,800 to 6,500 K. The lower limit corresponds to a very warm, candle-like light, while the upper limit is closer to cool daylight. However, according to available information, you can only change the color temperature in the Xiaomi Home app.

Touch ring instead of a switch

On the bottom edge of the lamp head, you’ll find a touch ring that spans a full 360 degrees. Tap to turn the lamp on or off, slide your finger to change brightness, and long-press to switch lighting effects. This way, you don’t have to fumble for a switch in the dark.

Furthermore, the app can turn on a night light or set when the lamp should turn on and off automatically. Thanks to Xiaomi HyperOS Connect support, you can then connect multiple lamps simultaneously and change their effect with a single command. The lamp also works with smart speakers and other Xiaomi devices.

Price and availability

The recommended price is 999 yuan, which is approximately 3,250 CZK. However, as part of crowdfunding, you can get the lamp for 719 yuan, which is approximately 2,340 CZK after conversion. Xiaomi has not stated whether it will appear in Europe.

If you want a colored floor lamp right away, you can opt for a model like the Govee RGBW Floor Lamp Lite. It measures 136 cm, has a brightness of 1,000 lumens, and is compatible with the Matter standard. At Alza, at the time of writing, you can buy it for 2,689 CZK.
