The Wiz E27 Filament is a decorative LED bulb in the shape of filaments that connects via Wi-Fi. Launched at the same price as the Philips Hue E27 Edison, it nevertheless offers the possibility of connecting to the Internet network without a connection bridge.
The Wiz E27 Filament is a very good bulb that connects easily to Wi-Fi and is full of options in its application. In this, it stands out as a very effective alternative to the Philips Hue E27 Edison, offered at the same price, more complex to configure (connection bridge requires) and which sees its functions limited when connected by Bluetooth.
Strong points
- Design, decorative lamp.
- Wi-Fi connection without bridge.
- Simple to configure.
- Rich and functional application.
Weak points
- CRI could be improved in warm white.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
A Bluetooth-connected LED bulb at the price of a high-end classic LED bulb: don’t expect a very sophisticated product. The SmartLED is therefore content with the basics (power adjustment, choice of temperature), but what it does, it does it well: easy to adjust thanks to a well-designed application, it is pleasant to use. Its perfectible IRC is ultimately its main drawback.
