Review – Lumary WiFi Smart 24w LED Floodlight – Extreme Testing has Consequences!

1. First, we have the user instructions. Well written and easy to follow.
2. Next, we have these mounting screws and anchors
3. And lastly here is the light. Much heavier than I would have expected. Definitely a solid piece of equipment here. First impressions are great.

1. The power cord is also very beefy. Another indication of its quality and weather resistance. The cord is actually quite longer than other LED flood lights I’ve owned measuring 1.2m or 47in.
2. Looking at the side of the light, we have this sticker showing the specs, including what appears to be operating temperatures. -20 dot dot dot 40 degrees C. That translates to -4 to 104 degrees F. This is a little confusing because their web site says the low is -25C or -13F.
3. Moving on, I really like the how they designed the back of the light to diffuse any heat from the unit. Its shell is made from aluminum by the way.
4. The mount is also quite sturdy. To install the light, remove the mount using a hex key (not included). Attach the mount to your surface and then reattach the light. Point it in the desired direction and tighten the side screws. You also have the option of not removing the light and rotating the mount to a position where the light isn’t prohibiting access to the mounting holes.
5. On top of the light, we have 2 Wi-fi antennas. They are sturdy but attached to break-away if too much force is applied. I guess this it to protect them from breaking under too much pressure, like if the unit is dropped. Remember it only works with the 2.4GHz frequency. Like I mentioned, we do a range test here shortly.
6. Zooming in here on the LEDs, there are 18 which can use up to a total of 24w where each color (red, green, & blue) use 8 watts each. At it’s brightest, the unit will output 1200lm, which is very bright as you’ll see here shortly. While we’re zoomed in here. Here is a sneak peek of the LED’s flashing at full brightness. So, consider this a trigger warning for bright flashing lights. The camera’s focus was a little confused but still kinda cool to see the different parts of the LEDs light up.
7. The beam angle, or the measurement of the spread of light from this floodlight is 150-degrees, according to the Lumary website, which seems accurate for a floodlight. The box however indicates it’s 110-degrees. As I shine the light on my backdrop, I’m not going to try to measure it precisely and try to figure out the exact values and the amount of spill light, but this inconsistency does present a little confusion.

1. Once the app is downloaded, setup the account
2. Plug in the light and it will flash red because it’s in setup mode
3. Then add a device. We are adding the Light Source BLE+WiFi
4. Yes, the device is blinking
5. Enter Wi-fi name and password
6. And we’re connected

Here is a quick look at the lag. Pretty much nonexistent. Even when I slide the brightness bar, pretty much no lag. Let’s try when my phone on the cellular network. Again, pretty much no lag. Awesome.

1. Here we have the power button. If you unplug the unit while it’s on, it will remember your last setting.
2. Next is the Dimmer page where we can select a color. There is also slider bar on top to control the brightness. This plus symbol allows you to add a color to your favorites.
3. Over on the Scene page, we have some customizable scenes where we can edit the colors and actions. The actions are static, Flash and Breath. You can also control the duration of the flash or breath before moving onto the next color. Color selections can be made here along with a brightness for each. The rest of the page has several recommended scenes.
4. On the music tab you can allow your phone to play music or use the mic which will interact with the light.
5. Lastly on the Settings tab, we have some options for schedules and times.
6. To connect the light to a smart speaker, click the pencil edit icon in the upper right

1. Our first stop is the front door. I’ll set up the scene I want to use Halloween. I’ll select and edit the Dazzling scene. Delete the red and change the green to orange and I’ll change the blue to purple. I’ll make it flash as fast as possible. And here’s how it looks. I placed the light behind the pilar. I’ll back away. I like it. I wonder how it would look inside for when trick-or-treaters come around. Yeah, not a bad option either for some fun mood lighting.
2. Let’s set a constant light for the back deck. I’ll use the working scene and update the color to this light blue. I placed the light on a tripod outside here but it would look awesome from the ceiling as well. Not too bad.
3. In this scenario, the light is located right here pointing towards the fireplace. Here is one of the included scenes called coral, a nice consistent light. This is how the red looks. This is the blue. This is just white. Very impressive mood lighting from this location.
