Anker Innovations, well known for its smartphone accessories, also has several other brands, such as Solix for solar, as we saw in the Solix Solarbank 2 Pro review, but also Soundcore, Nebula and Eufy. This last branch brings together numerous devices for the connected home, such as robot vacuum cleaners, but also security and lighting solutions.
At IFA in Berlin the company unveiled five new smart lighting products that allow you to light up your home in a fun and spectacular way. They can also be synchronized to create uniform patterns, perfect for holidays or special occasions. And that's not all: Eufy Security users can integrate these new lighting options into their home security system. With Eufy Security cameras and AI-enabled devices, lights can be programmed to activate and change color when motion is detected! So let’s explore this in more detail.
Permanent exterior E22 lighting: the flagship of the year
We start with the flagship model: the Permanent Outdoor Lights E22. This product has everything you need to illuminate your garden, terrace or even a large driveway, while adding a touch of modernity and practicality to your home.
Featuring a triple LED (RGBWW) design, it combines RGB, warm white and cool white LEDs, offering an impressive color temperature range of 1500K to 9000K. You can create a cozy atmosphere for a relaxing evening or opt for brighter, dazzling light for festive occasions. Everything is up to three times brighter than traditional RGB LEDs, a real revolution for your outdoor spaces.
When it comes to durability, the E22 won’t disappoint. Built to withstand the harshest outdoor conditions, with UV protection and an IP65 certification for water and dust, it’s perfect for taking on the elements. The adapter, meanwhile, is IP67, and can withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C to +60°C. Suffice to say, these lights are built to last!
Intelligence at the service of ambiance
The real innovation of the E22 is its lighting system controlled by artificial intelligence. Imagine being able to enter your lighting preferences, and let the AI manage the creation of themes adapted to each occasion. Whether it’s a birthday, a family celebration, or a simple evening outdoors, the system will automatically adjust the lighting according to your needs, without you having to touch a button.
And that’s not all! The E22 can also connect to your Eufy security cameras, creating reactive lighting that adapts to detected movements. The light then becomes much more than just an ambient accessory: it also ensures increased security, by illuminating specific areas or by triggering alert lighting when movement is detected.
For music lovers, the “Music Sync” mode is simply brilliant: the lighting synchronizes with the music or sounds detected by your smartphone’s microphone, creating a dynamic atmosphere where the lights vibrate to the rhythm of the beats. Imagine the effect at your next party!
Total flexibility with the app and voice control
These lights are easily managed via the Eufy Life app, where you have access to over 80 pre-programmed themes, or the ability to create your own custom light patterns. For added convenience, the E22 is also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing you to control everything by voice.
Price-wise, expect €249.99 for 30 meters. First deliveries are expected by the end of the month.
E10 string lights: aesthetics and performance
If you're looking for something lighter but just as efficient, the Outdoor String Lights E10 will meet your expectations. These string lights are designed to add an aesthetic touch to your gardens and terraces, while offering cutting-edge technology.
Thanks to Eufy's WonderShine Technology, these string lights combine RGB LEDs and warm/cool whites, offering a wide range of color temperatures (1500K to 9000K). With 16 million colors available, you can customize your spaces according to your desires and make each occasion unique.
The design of these garlands is not left out. They have a matte finish for a homogeneous diffusion of light, and their conical shape adds a very elegant flame effect. In addition, with increased resistance thanks to their reinforced cord, they are ready to face any weather whim.
In terms of price, these garlands will be available from €99.99, with a release planned by the end of the month. A perfect choice for those who want stylish and efficient outdoor lighting without breaking the bank.
Other lighting to complete the range
But that's not all. The manufacturer has unveiled other models to complete its range.
Eufy's Outdoor Pathway Lights E10 are equipped with LEDs that can be adjusted from warm white to cool white, offering a brightness of 350 lumens. Ideal for creating a pleasant atmosphere on a daily basis or during special events, they add an elegant touch to your exteriors. They will be available at the end of the month for €149.99.
Eufy has also unveiled its Floor Lamp E10 for indoor use, offering an impressive brightness of up to 1,700 lumens, adjustable according to the chosen color. Thanks to its sophisticated algorithms and 12 dedicated chips, it ensures smooth color transitions for optimal ambient lighting. The lamp will be marketed on the same dates and at the same prices as the Outdoor Pathway Lights E10: €149.99 by the end of the month.
Conclusion: bright and connected solutions
Eufy has clearly hit hard this year at IFA 2024 with its new outdoor lighting solutions. Whether you opt for the Permanent Outdoor Lights E22 model or the Outdoor String Lights E10 garlands, you have access to cutting-edge technology that combines artificial intelligence, integration with your connected home, and foolproof durability. With competitive prices and availability planned for very soon, these products are aimed at both novices and smart home experts. Personally, I really appreciate the compatibility with the brand's camera system, which is currently being tested here. And I can tell you that it's heavy ;-) So I can't wait to test these lights in operation with the cameras!
