Frequently asked questions

• What am I paying extra for versus the white B02-BL-A60?

  Colour and scenes: the B05-BL is an RGBCW bulb with 16 million shades, eight preset scenes and Static, Gradual and Strobe effects; the B02-BL offers only 2700–6500 K white, four scenes and no effects. Brightness, the E27 base, Wi-Fi and the app are identical.
• How does the BL generation differ from the older B05-B-A60?

  The B05-B is discontinued. The BL generation added Bluetooth 4.2 for quick pairing, the Rhythm Live mode, brightness and colour adjustment inside schedules and scenes, and an eWeLink-Remote gateway role for the R5 remote and S-MATE button.
• How does Rhythm Live work and how many bulbs does it support?

  Your phone with eWeLink listens to the music through its microphone, and up to 10 bulbs on the same local network change colour to the beat. Phone and bulbs must share one LAN; the effect itself does not depend on the cloud.
• What does the eWeLink-Remote gateway function give me?

  The bulb takes radio commands straight from the R5 remote or the S-MATE button: on/off, scenes and brightness with no wall wiring and no internet. In practice you add a bedside 'switch' without chasing cables — handy in rentals or after a fresh renovation.
• Is brightness still 806 lm in colour mode?

  No. The 806 lm figure is rated for white mode, where the dedicated white LEDs do the work. In saturated colours only the RGB channels shine and output drops — true of every RGBCW bulb, which is why colour is used for accent and mood.
• Why does the bulb have Bluetooth at all?

  Two reasons: initial pairing — the bulb 'breathes' for 3 minutes and your phone finds it directly via Bluetooth Pairing — and eWeLink-Remote control. If the pairing window expires, three off-on flicks about a second apart re-enable it. Wi-Fi itself is 2.4 GHz only.
• Which version fits Moldova — A60 or A19?

  Only the A60: it is built for 230 V AC 50 Hz with an E27 base — matching the local grid and fixtures, with CE/RoHS certification. The A19 is the US 120 V model with an E26 base and UL/FCC marks; it has no place on the Moldovan grid.
• Is there local, cloud-free control?

  Yes, two ways: eWeLink's LAN mode keeps controlling the bulb on the local network even when the internet is down, and DIY mode exposes a local HTTP REST API — on/off, colour and colour temperature from your own scripts.
