Kasa Smart Wi-Fi LED Light Bulb by TP-Link - Multicolor, Dimmable, A19, No Hub Required, Works with Alexa and Google Assistant (LB130)

These smart bulbs have been a game-changer in our house. I initially bought a few for lights that my hubby would often leave on after getting into bed. It was so nice to be able to turn them off, from my bed, using the friendly Kasa app or through Alexa voice control. We also love being able to set our lights on soothing colors at night when watching tv, or resting before going to sleep. I now have these bulbs throughout the house and have spent some time getting things set up with groups, special scenes and schedules. I love that certain lights will now go on at dusk and auto turn off at my desired time, and also have a few bulbs that are on all night on very dim, soft colors — they don’t bother me when I’m sleeping but provide just enough light if I need to get up to use the bathroom. My husband even began playing with IFTTT and has set certain lights to turn on automatically when he enters our neighborhood, which I can see being extremely useful for people who live alone. One thing that made a huge difference in how useful these bulbs were for me was discovering the default state setting. I always set up the bulbs so that if I turn on a light from the switch (instead of via app or voice), the light will be white and at 100% brightness. This is also useful when we have guests as the lights will work in ways they are expecting and used to. I recently bought another less expensive smart bulb and there is no capability to set a default setting — I couldn’t believe it because that is such an important feature. I’ve now had the TP Link bulbs in our home for two years (or more) and haven’t had any failures. Every once in a while a bulb may become disconnected from the network (easy to fix), but it hardly happens anymore. Possibly firmware updates have addressed that. All in all, this is a great product, especially if you take the time to really set it up! Just make sure that if you buy another brand, you get one that does have the ability to set a default for when the light is turned on at the switch!

I HIGHLY recommend these bulbs (and TP-Link/Kasa in general). The best part of this bulb is not that it can be any color you want it to be or that it is Wi-Fi enabled, it's the ability to "choose your white" that is most useful. It allows you to set your white anywhere from 2500K to 9000K.. giving you the ability to chose the color that most suits you and your environment.. no more living with trying to pick a color up front which, in my case, I usually just find out I don't like it. Colors vary so much from manufacturer to manufacturer, it's impossible to see what a company's interpretation of, say 3000K is going to look like. Some push more the orange while others push more towards the blue. With these bulbs, you can find EXACTLY the color you want.. VERY easily! These lights are great for lamps because they don't seem to make dimmable plug-in Wi-Fi adapters and are excellent at dimming to just a few percent.. something wall controllers can have problems with when you use LEDs. It does require the Kasa app loaded for setup but then is fully compatible with the Echo running the Kasa skills.. making it very robust when running more than one at a time. Echo is NOT required to control these lights.. they will run completely with the Kasa app or with Google Home.. plus many more. TP-Link has been making great products for decades.. mostly in the computer world until now. I have relied on their products for years and have been disappointed.. and these bulbs are no exception! The fact that they can be any color is just a bonus to me. Theses bulbs are well worth the price.. they will outperform more expensive bulbs! NOTE TO ECHO USERS: Sometimes you will see it stated that you have to tell Alexa to tell Kasa to turn the light on. This is NOT true. Once you set the light up (or group, in my case), it appears to the Echo like any other device. You do not have to use the word Kasa in your commands..

I've wanted to try smart bulbs for awhile now. It's so convenient to have a light that operates on a schedule. I have it set to wake me up int he morning with the circadian setting, and when it gets to be near time for bed, I have it auto-shut off as my cue to go to sleep. It's a great aid for my sleep schedule. Pros: The colors are all pretty accurate. The bulb is fairly bright throughout the color range, and the lighting is even. Works with Google Assistant. Cons: The Kasa app. It's a bit bare-bones, and not all that intuitive. I got the hang of it after a day or so, though, so don't let that dissuade you. There's no easy way to have it slowly light up. The circadian setting is the closest option without programming it to light up 2% every minute. While the light isn't too bright when it comes on with the circadian setting, it's certainly bright enough to immediately wake you up, as opposed to waking you up more gently. That, however, seems like something they can add later with an update, and wouldn't be a problem, I think, if I got up before sunrise. Price is the other big concern, but this is one of the most affordable 60w-equivalent RGB smart bulbs that doesn't require a hub, but combined with the other cons, I think I have to take a star off. All in all, I'm very pleased. I could have gotten the more feature-rich competitor, but I'm happy I chose this instead. I only needed one bulb, and wasn't keen on having a hub. This is the best hubless RGB smart bulb you can buy.

facil de instalar y compatible con Alexa, son focos que trabajan de manera independiente sin depender de un Hub como los de philips, la calidad es de lo mejor, el precio es un poco elevado pero creo que lo vale llego ya más de 6 meses en uso el ahorro se ve reflejado en mi recibo de luz, recomendable!!

Es un foco muy versátil, pues en primera instancia cumple con iluminar tu hogar con el tipo de luz de tu preferencia (luz cálida a fría), se agrega la opción de poder cambiar el tono y color, lo tengo en mi comedor que es donde principalmente está encendida la luz la mayor parte del tiempo y sin problema alguno, se pueden configurar horarios( en mi caso se enciende y se apaga todos los días a la misma hora, si se llega a ir la energía no se borran los ajustes (eso si al regresar la luz se queda encendido hasta que lo apagues, espero con alguna futura actualización se corrija eso, puedes crear distintos horarios y salir de tu casa y la gente pensará que hay alguien debido a los horarios que programes, muy útil la verdad, valió cada peso!

Buen producto, ha funcionado muy bien, lo único malo es que cada vez que se va la luz se prende automáticamente cuando regresa la luz, pero independientemente a eso hace bien su función

Tengo varios focos de estos en mi casa y han sido excelentes, me sorprendió lo fácil que ha sido sincronizar y utilizar con la app. Los utilizó junto con Alexa y puedo prender y apagar los incluso cuando no estoy en mi domicilio. La calidad de la Luz es excelente, en lo personal me gusta más la luz cálida y creo que e un poco más amarill que un foco convencional y la luz fría es demasiado blanca opaca que otros focos, pero con el ajuste he encontrado la tonalidad e intensidad que más me gusta.

El precio un poco elevado, he probado otras marcas de luces inteligentes y me quedo con tplink. Fácil de instalar, su app es super sencilla y fácil de usar. Cero problemas para configurar con alexa
