Poor Sensor

published

Installed Brilliant smart PIR motion sensor. No troubles in connecting it to wi-fi. Found that high sensitivity struggles to detect motion from 3 metres away when it states 18metres on the box. Found that it was just randomly turning on when there was no motion at all.. Took product back and got another unit, did the exact same thing. called the company no help at all

Brilliant Fan WiFi remote

published

I bought a brilliant WiFi controller to put into the fan in my bedroom. Installed no problem and worked great. Can control fan and light through Google as they show up as separate devices.
So I bought a second one for my son's room. Unfortunately the brilliant smart ap calls the light the same name on the second fan, so Google can't see it.
As the fan and light are one device in brilliant ap, I can't rename the light.
This all means Google can see both fans, but only the first light. So basically good product as long as you only have 1 fan in your house.
Slip up in product testing I think.

Hi Patrick, you should be able to rename each fan remote in the BrilliantSmart App so Google can see them separately. If you are having trouble doing this give our support line a call.

Buy Lifx instead

published

After dealing with constant self-resetting, I went and upgraded my router to one that a Brilliant Smart Staff member suggested. Now trying to reset the globes to link on the new network, one will flash fast and the other is slow (2 lights per lightswitch, 10 globes in total). It is incredibly frustrating. I spent a lot of money on these products and in hindsight I should have bought Lifx globes instead

The product is junk. Months down the track and im still having dramas. Im saving to install Lifx which is what I should have done in the first place rather than throw away a thousand dollars on your product

Not what it says on the box

published

Bought 325mm Astro DIY plug in round fan exhaust with LED light. Electrician installed as per instructions. The light is wonderful for my bathroom. The fan is hopeless. Says ‘whisper quiet’ on the box. It’s hardly that. VERY noisy. Don’t recommend, at all.

Spent an hour trying to make it work. Never did.

published

I bought a WiFi Downlight 9W 750LM CCT LED online. No returns allowed. Spent an hour trying to get it to work. It did work for two days but then stopped working. I just own a flashing light that I can't connect to. I'll just throw it in the trash.

Not very reliable

my daughter bought two lights for Mother's day for my wife as part of her present. Both lights worked for a few days. One light stopped working and will not reset. Cannot get it to blink fast. Very disappointing

Excellent result

published

The fan with a built-in light works great but the remote had a faulty button. The warranty call took a long time to action, but a new remote was sent that is perfect. We are very happy now.

Warranty Claim is a Nightmare

published

I bought a few smart spot lights a few months ago, I have been having issue with one of them which sensor triggers with no motion every few minutes, spend hours in the app and more than 20 messages back and forth which didn't go anywhere and I have been kept in the dark. Then I've been advised to open a warranty claim which no one is responding to the claim after multiple follow-ups. I have spent more time on chasing the warranty than the total value of my shopping from this company.

Hopeless without an app.

published

Bought four globes. Couldn't register the app. I hadn't even opened the boxes. Impossible to use without the app. This was really disappointing as I didn't even get to first base. Will return tomorrow

Terrible Warranty Service support

Terrible company to deal with when seeking warranty claim. They refuse to help, don't reply, find excuses not to honor warranty claims and are usually just rude. Would never purchase through this company ever again!

Wasted money buying this, and electrician install. Dont bother

published

Bought this from Aldi. Had my electrician come and install. Downloaded app and paired ok. I was excited! That night i went to show my partner how it worked, and there was no connection to the app, and no sensor working. We've tried multiple reinstalls and other troubleshooting. I just think the wifi bit on it is toast. A waste of time and money. The light cant be manually overridden without the app and wifi. Dont bother or buy. Aldi rubbish

Overall is good, but a few issues

published

Have been using the smart downlights. Good quality light, with a wide range of colours and choice of whites. Can be setup with voice control. However there are a few software issues, where sometimes the light does not fully turn off - only decreases the brightness. You need to turn the light back on, then off for light to turn off.

Needs an iPad ap

published

I am an electrical contractor building a house and wrestling with how “smart” to make it. Have purchased a few products to trial and found them to be quite good thus far. Not sure if I will use any voice commands though convenient, it creeps me out a little.
It would be good if there was an iPad app so things could be a little more centrally controlled
The key for any company is getting that first device in so the standard is set and more equipment follows
I will report back when I have tested more but thus far have found the downlight and bulb are working well

Hi Edmin. All fans are created different. This is a budget model. We have many fans with far greater air movement. Al of this information is on the boxes to help you make an informed choice.

Temptest Fans- no hi speed

published

Installed 11 new brilliant Temptest fans into new house 3 years ago.
3 fans now just go slow even on high speed-useless
Lodged warranty claim online as required and to date NO return communication at all.
Disappointing.
Paid for new fans out of own pocket- AVOID

WiFi A60 LED SMART globes are pretty DUMB

published

I recently purchased three WiFi A60 LED SMART globes and noticed that the app that you need to install to control the globes shows your WiFi password in plain text.

I've attached a screenshot of their response.

If they can't this security right it makes me worry about giving them the password to my WiFi in the first-place. Who knows what other security issues that don't care about?

If I could give a zero I would

published

Poor product quality, terrible customer service. They don't reply to emails or calls. After weeks when they finally do, they blame installation. Please avoid for your own sanity and $$$. Wish I had read the reviews before purchasing. All the company does is say, please email us to try and restore their social media imagine. Brilliant Smart, we have called you, you don't want to listen unfortunately. Thays why we are writing a review to help innocent people.

Poor communication and dont care, warranty is worthless. Lodge a complaint!

published

Purchase two top shelf Avator Fans, just shy of $1000. They seem cheap and nasty, rattling away at pretty much all speeds, louder than TV. Ive had cheap fans before, this is worse! Contacted warranty mid Jan, still waiting for a response, Had enough, going for refund and making some formal complaints to retailer, fair trading and about to go to QCAT as a major failure.

Never again!

brilliant lighting ceiling fan lights

published

Had to have many ceiling fan/lights replaced (clicking and rattling noises) after just 2 weeks in new house. Company who built house told us we had to lodge warranty claim directly to Brilliant Lighting. Very poor communication from their warranty staff (particularly John Young) Had to chase up many times.
Have now had some fans replaced 3 times and still same problems. Contacted Fair Trading who said they have had many complaints about this company and directed us to lodge formal complaint with them
