An intelligent lamp with four light profiles

As straight as its shape, the "Mi" lamp has just one objective: to avoid flickering. This should be possible thanks to the four predefined options.

I can no longer imagine my life without my mobile phone's night mode. It makes reading in the dark much more enjoyable and conserves battery power. The "Mi" lamp has a similar function, reading mode, as well as three other modes: focus, PC and child.

Focus mode programmes rest phases during which the temperature of the light changes so that your eyes can recover briefly and you can stay awake for longer. Monitors often emit blue light which, over the long term, can be exhausting for the eye. "Mi" responds to this with PC mode and a warmer colour temperature. Reading mode provides a neutral colour temperature to enhance your concentration, i.e. a tone between cool white and warm white.

Certified biosafety, children's mode meets the latest safety standards. It therefore protects children's eyes, which are more sensitive than those of adults. A video shows just how different the colour temperatures are:

Aside from functions for various applications, the look of "Mi" focuses on minimalism. The monochrome desk lamp has a clear shape reminiscent of a pipe. Only the power cable, which connects the shade to the base, stands out in red. You can adjust the angle of illumination thanks to the flexible connection between the lampshade and the lamp base.

"MI" for Mission Impossible

The Chinese brand's "MI" logo stands for "Mobile Internet" on the one hand and "Mission Impossible" on the other. Xiaomi's developers are constantly striving to assert themselves in the saturated electronics market with new mobile phones, smart devices and audio equipment.
