REVIEW – Two years ago when I purchased my home, I made a list of things that I would need to fix or replace. One of the things on the list was the outdoor security light at the back of my house over the deck. There were several other items on the list that were priorities but that changed when I was fortunate enough to get to test and review the Lintem S1 RGBCW Smart Wall Light.

Design and features
- One-click to create a festive atmosphere: Equipped with music synchronization/more than 30 scenes/custom scenes with multiple lighting effects to meet your different needs, Lintem Smart outdoor wall lights understand a scene better than traditional bulbs. Whether it is Christmas, New Year, or a special moment, you can quickly set the most suitable lighting through the lintem APP or (Alexa/google assistant) voice control, eliminating the trouble of manually changing lights.
- Extra Bright-20W&1200LM: Lintem’s smart wall light offers 16 million RGB colors and tunable whites from warm to cool for your outdoor space. Ultra-high brightness can meet the needs of daily lighting, and RGB colors can create different atmospheres for different parties. It’s perfect for front yard lighting, deck lighting, porch lighting, garage door/columns, or anywhere that matters around your house.
- Outage Memory and Auto Network Reconnection: Outage memory enables the outdoor wall light to restore the color/brightness/mode set before power failure, so no need to manually set it again when it is turned on again. Auto network reconnection ensures the stability of the network connection by enabling the ability of the smart wall lamp to search and reconnect to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi after the network is disconnected.
- Smart Control: Lintem smart outdoor wall light supports 2.4 GHz WiFi+BLE and Lintem App. Working with Alexa/Google Assistant, you can set color/brightness/mode via voice control. Besides the rich functions of the Lintem App, our wall light fixtures also have intelligent control buttons. Direct access to WiFi significantly improves connection stability. The local timing function allows the light to automatically turn on/off within the preset time when the network is disconnected.
- Ultimate Resistance: Lintem smart wall light fixtures are made of heavy-duty aluminum and tempered glass that can resist any inclement weather. The fixtures can be used to decorate and illuminate front yards, decks, porches, garage doors, or any other outdoor and indoor location.
- Easy to Operate: Lintem smart outdoor wall light has smart control buttons, which can also be used without networking. You can switch 5 common colors by clicking the smart button. (warm white, cool white, red, green, blue)
This Lintem S1 RGBCW Smart Wall Light is solidly built with what appears to be tempered glass enclosed in a metal body. It is a simple design with the LED light encased in the front, the electronics encased n the back and one single button underneath that controls the pairing function with the app, and switching colors manually if necessary.
Setup
Setting up this Lintem S1 RGBCW Smart Wall Light involves installing it and then downloading the app and adding the light to the app. The following is the old light on my back deck that was left by the previous homeowner. As you can see it was busted open exposing it to all of the elements:

Final thoughts
Overall, I really like this Lintem S1 RGBCW Smart Wall Light. It is hefty and well built and easy to install. The color options and the other features are nice but I most like that it works great as a security light. I simply adjust it to the exact light temperature that I want and it lights up my entire deck including the area in front of my sliding door. This summer I will try out the other colors and the music effects once the barbecues start. Well done.
