Temu Haul #1 60 Day Update: Smart Gadgets, LED Lights, and More

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up everybody this is Carl from Tech goodies and today we're going to do something that a lot of people have asked for I've done a couple teu hauls on this channel and a lot of people have asked me to go back and recap the things that I got from one of the videos and let them know that after you know a couple months here have those products actually been good or not so that's what we're going to do so the one that we're going to be looking at today is my first teu unboxing it's actually the first one that I did on the channel it did really really well I will link it up above here and in the description if you want to go ahead and take a look at the products that I got so it's a little bit different format here I'm going to be on my computer over to the side here I'm actually going to show that video and we're going to kind of look at it and react to the different products I'll let you know how they held up how good they were um and if I would still recommend them so let's go ahead and slide on over here and I've got the first one kind of cute up ready for us to go here this was a video light that I wanted to be able to use to kind of of light up behind myself or sort of light up the scene here and this one ended up being awesome it's still working great um I don't have it particularly set up right here in this scene um I'm actually put it in my kit to take with me as sort of a light to be able to kind of have like if I'm downstairs filming or if I'm outside filming um in the evening or something like that so yeah I would absolutely recommend this RGB light I think the only thing that I might check next time I ordered something like this was the ability to kind of connect to it with an application um on my phone and actually change the specific color of lighting right now you can only kind of change the light on the back and then you're kind of limited to whatever is built into the light itself but heck yeah I mean I absolutely would definitely recommend that one so let's go ahead and jump on to the next product ah yes the old apple pencil so a lot of people have asked me if this has been good and yes and no so what I would say is that it's been great it works good as an apple pencil but the problem is these third-party pencils don't actually use pressure sensitivity on the iPad so if you're looking to really do some really good art on the iPad with pressure sensitivity like a brush or a pencil it doesn't work like that but for me all I wanted to do was annotate a few things so it works perfectly for me I get one solid line that's you know the same length all the way through but it worked great no problem definitely would recommend all right what's next in the video here jumping ahead ah okay so this one was the 3in one charger now I wasn't exactly sure whether or not this was going to work out but what I have found is that this is this is my go-to charger and the thing about that is is that um it does have this sort of wattage on it so whenever you plug in a device you can actually see what the wattage is is that the device is pulling so for me I like to check to see um you know I put my iPhone on there it's getting 14 watts I put something else on there it's getting 4.5 um and that really depends on what brick you might be using in the wall and you're plugged into whether or not that can provide the power that you need but yes again another product that that I still absolutely use to this day so most definitely would recommend this one have no problem with it it has iPhone it has USBC and it has micro USB for charging so awesome yeah so far so good I think there's a couple I think there's a couple little stinkers here that will come across ah yeah so the smart plug so it has been fine right but the problem is I don't know a whole lot about smart home stuff I have another teu Hall coming up here I think within the next couple of weeks or by the end of the month where I bought a bunch more smart home stuff then that would allow me to get used to using a lot more of the Smart Home home uh devices but as far as this one goes it was fine I was able to basically just hook up my the application that it came with and I can turn it on and I can turn it off so no real complaints about it at this point in time all right jumping ahead here in the video ah yes Apple watch Pand I'm wearing it right now absolutely fine absolutely perfect I love it I use it every day I planning to get a couple more from Teemu have absolutely no problem with it I would definitely recommend it um depending on you know if you have an Apple Watch or not it's not a it's definitely not a band directly from Apple it's kind of a third party duplicate or a copy but yeah I have absolutely no problem with that so let's Jump Ahead here okay so a lot of people were kind of confused about this one so this is an ESP uh 8266 it's a controller board it allows me to do custom RGB lighting and program it with that that's a little bit farther into the tech side as as opposed to the fun sort of little gadgets from Teemu I did hook this up the other day because I wanted to test an LED Matrix worked perfectly fine had absolutely no problems with it my concern was maybe it was a third- party one that wouldn't work well no it work great um if you're into that sort of thing and you're looking for an esp8266 board Teo is a great place to get it I've also gotten them on AliExpress um and those work fine too so yeah another one that's pretty good what's next here in the box that we were looking at ah the light bar now a lot of you commented on this because you thought the light bar was pretty cool I think the light bar is pretty cool too so I did put it down with my son hasn't really kind of quelled the loudness of the game playing or anything like that but uh it works great I watch over at his desk and you know when he's talking or when there sounds coming out of his computer that thing is is working like a champ with no problem uh the only only thing I would say about that if you're concerned about it is that there is a very very slim differential for volume so it's not like you can raise your volume and watch it go up it's almost like once it once it detects volume either it's halfway or it's full it does go up and down very smoothly but it doesn't have a very good range of volume detection so it's not like uh I was able to set it up where if he was in a certain range he was okay but if he was above a certain range then it was a problem I'd have to have him stop playing his games or whatever but definitely would recommend and in fact I think I bought in fact I think I bought a couple more that should be coming here in the mail but yeah that was a great product too you know this first Teemu haul seems like it had a lot of good things in it if if you all like this video go ahead and hit like so that I know you like these follow-ups and if you do I will make sure to follow up on every one of them that I do because I know there's some of them that I've had products that seemed good when I opened them up but by the time I got done and used it me went into garbage so let's keep going on this video and see what else we got here in the old t bag ah yes okay so this was a smart light that I ended up picking up so what I wanted to be able to do like I said was have some sort of light on the background here with my lamp now one things that I did not check on this light bulb was the brightness value what I'm finding is that it is not bright enough so if you're thinking about picking up a light don't pick up the one that I got I mean it's fine it works well but if you're wanting a bit of a brighter light make sure you look at like the brightness value of the light to make sure that the one you're getting can light up the area that you want now if you're using it in something that has maybe three lights in it like a ceiling fan or a lamp that has three sockets that would work just fine and it's been working just fine and I haven't had any problems with it the only thing I didn't like is that it had a separate app so when you have like all these smart home stuff that um has their own apps it gets a little bit tedious switching between each one of the apps or even remembering which app you're supposed to use all right what's next in the Box here this is the macroad I ended up getting so did it work yes and no I did a whole another video about this macroad in particular um it did work in fact I like the buttons the tactile field the buttons they mechanical switches all worked great all the buttons were fine the software was fine to install and to program but the dial seized up I can't use the dial that's on there um and in the video I kind of talk about the fact that that uh sort of made it pointless because I was trying to do some video editing where I could you know scroll left and right on the timeline um and it just didn't end up working for me I did buy some other macro pads that I'm going to be doing a video on uh that ended up working but I have one now that I really like so stay tuned for that uh watch for that on my channel subscribe if you want to get notified of it um but I'll be doing that but yes if you're going to order this I don't know if you'll have the same problem that I have where the where the dial sort of seized up and became unusable um but other than that it worked fine and last on the box is everyone's favorite tech item I got a couple comments on this uh the plants did they work great yeah they're right here I'm sure you've seen them in every single video since then sitting on my desk decorating Mr rooster here which I got when I was on a cruise so when I go on cruises I buy a lot of different um knickknacks and stuff to put on my desk I love having desk stuff and decorating M and decorating Mr Turtle here so we're the plants a winner yeah um in fact I'm pretty happy that I got them they look good they sit on my desk and add a little bit of greenery to the videos that I do so so I think that's all the products on this particular teu Hall that's kind of a recap looks like they were all pretty good um I still use them all to this day I have absolutely no problem with if I was to buy them again I I definitely do it so thank you all for watching this again if you liked this make sure you hit that thumbs up button I need to know if you like it or not and I'll do more uh but until then this is Carl from techville goodies and I'm out ohwhat's up everybody this is Carl from Tech goodies and today we're going to do something that a lot of people have asked for I've done a couple teu hauls on this channel and a lot of people have asked me to go back and
