Xiaomi started crowdfunding for Mi LED Smart Bulb in India in April and started shipping it for the backers last month, now the company has launched it in India. It is a 10W bulb with 800 Lumens of brightness, comes with support for Amazon Alexa as well as Google Assistant, and doesn’t require a separate bridge like Philips Hue. It comes with E27 socket so you have to purchase the B22 converter separately.
