Have about 6 of these in the house so far, ranging from lamps to pendant lighting. Reliability has been rock solid. I have these running in HomeKit via matter and have had no issues at all. Set up is as easy as any other HomeKit device. Colour reproduction is not the greatest for certain colours, such as purple, but honestly I mainly need it for warm/cool colour switching.

These smart light bulbs are fantastic! The colors are super vibrant, making it easy to set the perfect mood in any room. The smart features are incredibly user-friendly, and setting them up was a breeze. They connect seamlessly with Alexa, so I can control them with simple voice commands, which is super convenient. Whether I want bright white light for working or fun colors for a cozy atmosphere, these bulbs deliver. Great quality and a must-have for any smart home setup!

I have these bulbs installed outside and set on routines via Alexa. I have yet to experience issues with connectivity or them turning on/off when they’re supposed to. I used to manually change all of my outdoor bulbs for certain holidays and now I’m able to do it via the TP app. No more changing bulbs! Only downside is that I have so many bulbs that I will no longer use. If I had purchased these first it would have saved lots of $$. They are easy to set up via their app, although I wish the app would allow you to type in the color code, that is a programming issue not hardware. The bulbs are priced well, they are as bright or as dim as you want them to be, and works like how you would expect light bulbs to work.

Agréablement surpris compte tenu du prix en comparaison aux équivalences concurrentes.Je donne 5 etoites reviendrai peut-être sur mon avis plus tard afin qu'il soit fidèle à la réalité.Il n'est par exemple pas concevable qu'une ampoule led ne tienne pas minimum 5 années, nous verrons. De plus, la caractéristique "connecté" du produit implique que la partie apllication reste en développement afin de garantir une compatibilité avec les nouveaux smartphones et afin de garantir l'aspect sécurité informatique par le biais de correctifs éventuels si des failles venaient à être détecté.Ce n' est donc pas un avis qui concerne une simple ampoule mais un système écosystème informatique pour une période raisonnable.A noter que la partie traditionnellement en verre est composée de plastique, ce qui est acceptable si le produit concerné reste fonctionnel longtemps assez que pour limiter l'impact écologique.Faute d'avoir un appareil de mesure, difficile de dire si l'émission atteint les 806 lumens annoncés. Idem pour la température du blanc mais il s'agit bien de blanc chaud.Les fonctions et options proposées dans l'application sont abondantes et laisse l'utilisateur gérer cet éclairage tel qu'il le souhaite.

Nice lights, nice color range. The app is what makes them worth it. Its free, and there is a ton of ways you can automate them. Easy to set up, reasonably priced, overall a good purchase.

UPDATE - Support is nonexistent. Still haven’t heard back about my concerns from Tapo/TP link.But hubby works alongside IT and is technologically inclined and was able to get the final one working again. So far so good thanks to him.Original Review- The app is functional, decently laid out.All 4 bulbs initially connected easily and accepted firmware updates. Within 30 minutes, one of them disconnected and stopped working. It stays on but will not connect to the app. I tried repeatedly and in different locations and fixtures. It shows up in “wifi” but setup fails everytime. I’m tired of trying over and over again and troubleshooting tonight. I’ll try again tomorrow but if I can’t get it resolved I’ll be sending it back for a replacement/refund.

These are similar to the old Kasa KL-130 bulb, but add several cool new features. For instance, there is now a "party mode" that can use your phone's microphone to make a light show with your bulbs, or the bulbs can just cycle between several colors on their own.They also updated the sunset and sunrise times to allow up to 5 hours before or after instead of only 59 minutes. You can set your lights to turn on or off up to 5 hours and 59 minutes before or after sunrise or sunset, so you have lot's of flexibility.The old KL-130 bulbs had an "away" mode, but they took it away when they made the switch to the Tapo app. The away mode is available from the main screen on these Tapo lights. When set to Away Mode, these lights will randomly turn on and off making it appear like you are home when you are away.The fade feature has also changed. The Kasa KL-130 can be set to fade up to 60 minutes. This Tapo light can only be set to fade up to 30 minutes. That being said, the 'fade' on the original light was stepped, so around every few seconds it would get brighter or dimmer and you would noticeably see it 'step'. The Tapo light does this much more smoothly.The pairing feature also seemed different to me although it's been a long time since I've set up the KL-130. I'm pretty sure those used Bluetooth for setup, and these use Wi-Fi instead, and that's where people are probably going to have the most trouble. During the pairing process, it will ask you to pair your phone with the light. If you have a phone like my Pixel 7, you will need to turn off your cellular network connection while doing this, or the phone won't pair to the light and setup will fail. They are also only 2.4Ghz, which can also cause people issues if they have newer phones. This is kind of a bad setup experience, but for me it was no big deal. That being said, I wouldn't buy these for someone else unless I was prepared to help them set them up.Overall, the light color and brightness is indistinguishable from the older KL-130 bulb to my eyes regardless of the color setting, so I'm not replacing all of my old bulbs just yet.
