You’ll receive the light fixture, an instruction manual, and a pack of installation hardware. The light is a one-piece dual light fixture and measures 10-3/4”L x 3.5”W and extends 4.5”D from the wall. The light can be installed horizontally or vertically depending on your preference. Each of the light boxes can be rotated individually clockwise or counterclockwise for 350° of freedom, so you can point the light out, to either side, or back towards the wall if you prefer less direct wall accent lighting. The body of the fixture is made of weather-resistant metal, while the translucent white LED diffusers are a durable plastic and will emit light from the ends and front faces of each light so it can be installed outdoors or indoors.
At the back of the light is an attached junction box with a plastic hanging bracket that measures 4” x 3.5”. Attach it to your wall via the 4 included screws. Inside the wiring for the light is simple: it has a black and white wire for hot and neutral wires respectively and a green ground wire attached to the metal housing. Just make sure to shut the power off at the breaker before working on any wiring. The plastic wall anchors let you mount this onto a hollow wall, though it would be more secure to mount it directly into wood or a stud. The one tricky part of installation was holding up the fixture while connecting the power wires as they are short in length; it will be a bit easier if you have a second person assisting. When installing the light vertically, the rubber mode button should appear in the upper left hand corner. If installed outdoors, you can seal the box with some silicone caulk around the box for additional weather proofing.
The physical mode button lets you choose from 8 preset modes right on the light, whether you have a smartphone or not. There are 4 white modes from warm to cool, and four color changing modes. You won’t need WiFi or an internet connection to use the physical button, however, they are always the same 8 programs, and you can’t change them or choose any of the more advanced customizations or routines. To use the smart featrues, you'll need to download and install a mobile app on your smartphone. You can use the recommended XMCosy app or compatible apps like Tuya or SmartLife. The interfaces for all these app are nearly identical and in most cases, the app will detect the light automatically for setup. Thenyou’ll be able to control the light remotely over the internet via the app to change brightness and color. Just note that the two lights will always have the same settings and can’t be adjusted individually. You can also select different pre-set effects and multi-color animations. There is a music mode that changes the color to the beat of music heard through your phone’s microphone, however, the app needs to be open to this page and running in the background.
In the last menu you can set schedules and time triggered behavior like a sleep/wake plan that will slowly fade the light out/in over a period of 5 mins to 2 hours, schedule on and off times, or trigger a delayed shutoff timer that you can set from 1 minute to 24 hours. Last but not least, you can change the power on behavior of the light, like activating do not disturb, which requires you to flip the switch to the light on twice to turn the light on, and choosing the light status after it is powered on. If you’ve enabled the Alexa skill for your control app, you can also use voice commands to control the light.
Overall, this wall light is exactly what I was looking for to replace and modernize our old hallway light fixture. It’s got lots of settings and colors that I can change easily in the app or by voice command, built in timers and schedules, and was super easy to install whether you’re using it indoor or outdoors. I really like that I can change the direction of the two lights and point them forward, at the wall or to the sides. I've positioned the upper light to shine light down a hallway while the lower one illuminates the top of the adjacent stairwell. The light is bright enough for our needs though can be dimmed as well, and I can still just flip the switch on the wall to turn it on and off, and it’ll remember the setting that I want when it’s turned back on.

Good knigh..
How can I sincronize more then 2 lights at the same time ..for example if I one to put them in music mode more then 2 at the same time all of them to be in music mode at the same time ..???😊

[@SBC425]

So I bought one, but it didn’t have the piece that attaches to the wall, do you know how I could go about getting it ?

[@ReviewedByPhil]

I would say reach out to the seller and see if they can send the missing piece, though most times they will simply send you a whole new unit and may or may not require returning the original shipment that was missing pieces.
