Kogan First exclusive pricing, cheapest is 4 pack kit @ $15.50 per downlight. I think it's pretty cheap for Smart Lighting.

Kogan First also on special this week, $5.99 instead of $11.99 per month until 18 April, so instead of paying for postage, paying for Kogan First pretty much paid itself in 1 delivery.

  Does the app support choosing a colour temperature by number, or are you limited to using a slider?

  Can you sync a few of them together? For example I have six down lights in the living room that I want to be the same colour.

  Presumably, like other Tuya lamps, these are only 10W in white mode, and extremely dim in RGB mode.
  If you want colour lighting, you'll need to pay a lot more.

  But if you really want cheap, Kogan's E27 bulbs, same brightness, are only $26 for 4.

  However I'm not keen on lights that can only be dimmed using a server in China. No local control seems crazy.

  For local control, see https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/philips-hue-white-e27-starter-k…
  $65 for hub and 2 bulbs. Get more Zigbee bulbs cheap from Ikea etc.

    but these are not downlights?

    • 

      bargaino on 15/04/2021 - 22:43

      Put in the right recess, there is not much difference.
      Both aim light down, narrower than an incandescent bulb, but no focusing reflector like a "proper" halogen downlight.
      Anyway, downlights are so passé now, long since standard in project homes :)

    For local control hack them with Tasmota and run them through Home Assistant. Don't even need internet.

      have you tried the heck on these new products? Did it worked? i am looking for these but reported on various forums that new kogan smart products are not flashable yet (atleast easily)

      • 

        Tacooo on 16/04/2021 - 03:20

        Yeah, pulled them apart and flashed them with a USB>TTL adapter. OTA doesn't work.

          @Tacooo: How long ago?

          I thought Tuya replaced the ESP8266 with a different module which Tasmota does not support.

            @bargaino: A month or two. Was the latest batch after the whole COVID lockdown and stock finally arrived. Still using the TYWE3S chip.

              Thanks. I just pulled apart a similar bulb (Brilliant, not Kogan) and found a WB2L.

                @bargaino: If you wanna play around you could buy a few TYWE3S chips and replace the WB2L chips, depending on your skill level.

                Also that's a shame about Brilliant. I was considering a few more of their products.

                  I'd probably need a better soldering iron for surface-mounted modules. And way too much effort for a cheap bulb.
                  Zigbee is the way, IMHO.

          @Tacooo: I haven't had much luck trying this on other newer devices… Using a FTDI232 - Tasmotizer just doesn't seem to pick it up (TYWE1S module). Seems the bootloader might be locked down or something. No output on serial.

          • 

            Tacooo on 16/04/2021 - 10:05

            @nemesis: No output at all? I found my Tasmotizer wasn't finding these latest versions until I downloaded it again from scratch. Didn't pay attention to software versions but I think I just had an older version that needed updating. Just had to solder the pins nicely enough to get good connection.

  Very tempted to get this after reading reviews, plus it's a lot cheaper than the Mirabella Genio downlight I got from Kmart

  Has anyone tried both? How does it compare?

    I have the kogan bulbs and downlights, not Mirabella. As per @manic , the RGB is extremely dim and more for occasional show off. The normal "warm white" and "daylight" are good thou. One of the downlight died within a month and Kogan return was great. So far more than a year now and they have been good. Occasional the downlight furthest away from router experienced dropped out and need resetting (i blame my overload wifi). Responsive tuya app but i prefer Smart Life that sync well with Amazon Alexa and Samsung Smart things.

      thanks for your feedback. the Mirabella Genio I'm using is very dim for RGB as well, but maybe having six dim downlights in my living room will be "slightly" brighter? :D

      I'm assuming the return shipping is free of charge if it's faulty?

        My issue was flickering downlight. Customer support asked for video evidence and shipped a replacement without asking the faulty unit to be shipped back. As for downlights on warmwhite or daylight colour, i don't find them dim at all. I like "daylight" feel but have to set to 60% brightness, so is definitely fit its purpose.

        • 

          [Deactivated] on 15/04/2021 - 22:30

          @darkcolony: yeah fair enough. I think most of us would be using cool/warm light 95% of the time so seems like 800lm is pretty good (higher than Mirabella's 750lm)

        With Kogan, for faulty product they don't need return (at least in two of my faulty product). They sent the replacement pretty quick too.

    The ones from Lectory are much much better. I bought a few and have them around the house. Much brighter than the Kogan one that i got a couple of months ago.
    With the lectory ones, I had some lights randomly re-setting and needing to re-pair in the beginning, but when I switched my router to a mesh system, it hasn't happened.

    • 

      dmbminaret on 16/04/2021 - 10:29

      I thought they would have been the same. I have the lectory ones too but have had logan bulbs. All run thru tuya.
