Some places and times call for a calm and soothing glowing light instead of the regular bright harsh LED lights. Your living room, coffee shop, hotel, or bar might need a smart light that not only suits the decor but also gives you remote control over the light’s brightness and ambiance.
The Elecwish LED ceiling light is a 12 inch 24W light (check on Amazon) that mounts flush to the ceiling and gives you a remote to control brightness and tone.
The Elecwish ceiling light gives you two control options. Brightness control and temperature control. These two are enough to bring your ceiling to life no matter the mood or time of the day.
You must, however, not that the light isn’t multicolored hence it won’t replace your holiday lights or the part strobe lights. You will need something else to achieve that.
Design and appearance
This cylindrical flush mount light is has a rather slender profile that makes it a perfect fit for most ceiling decors. With all the mounting screws in the hub, you can mount it to the ceiling without any visible blemishes giving you a neat 12-inch diameter light that is powerful enough to push up to 1920 lumens when on maximum brightness. This is the equivalence of a 150W incandescence bulb.
An optical PMMA acrylic lampshade spreads the light softly, giving you a gentle glow that is soft on the eyes no matter what setting you choose.
All the controls sit in the wireless remote controller. This gives you the basic on-off function, a dedicated night mode button, and a d-pad-like key that lets you adjust brightness or tone while on the go.
Below that is a mode button to cycle through your programmed light setting options and three buttons that let you choose which light you are dealing with at any given time since the remote can hook up to a maximum of 3 lights.

Installation and getting started
Installing the light is simple and will vary depending on where it will be going. It isn’t a must to put the light on the ceiling. You can put it on a table lamp, a chandelier, or a bedside lamp. The most important thing is attaching the bulb’s wires to your main power supply. Remember to switch off the power before handling any electrical wires to avoid electrical shock.
Once you’ve done attaching the wires, it would be wise to test the smart bulb before screwing the fixture into place to ensure that everything is working just fine. You should use the cardboard template found in the packaging to find out where you are to drill the mounting holes.
You might need:
- A flathead screwdriver
- Wire strippers
- A drill with the right bits for ceiling or walls
- Electrician’s tape
Even though the remote is wireless, the bulb won’t connect to your Wi-Fi network. You will get excellent control from the remote (up to 100m) but there is not room to control the bulb from your smartphone.
To pair a remote to the bulb, switch the bulb on at the wall switch. This will make it turn on at full brightness. Press and hold the center button (the one between the d-pad) until the light stops flashing.
