Better than Kasa
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.

Really Good Bulb but High Pitch Noise Is a Nuisance
The GoodI don’t regret purchase, price is reasonable & they function very well, I have had 1 set over a year. I have bought a couple boxes, programing was fairly easy for me, about 10 minutes to do all 4, bulbs are really bright and colors are very versatile, the app works really well and easy to integrate with Alexa.The BadThe only issue is that when lights are off but power is there or about 60percent light , they emit a high pitch ringing noise, it’s not terribly annoying but I can hear it, my wife doesn’t, it’s not loud enough to deter me from buying more but I never had that issue with Philip hue bulbs that are way more expensive.

Buena intensidad luminosa, faciles de conectar en la app

Bueno

C’è poco da dire sul prodotto in sè, è una lampadina ed è smart, quindi ha integrato un modulo wifi, ha un attacco E27 quindi quello “grande” e come tutte le lampadine smart è bianca opaca.Funziona perfettamente e ha tutti i colori possibili e immaginabili, ma la differenza sostanziale tra una lampadina e l’altra si vede nella facilità di configurazione e nell’app che la accompagna.Ho configurato la lampadina in massimo un paio di minuti, il modulo wifi si aggancia immediatamente alla rete, appena accesa e connessa alla rete elettrica fa i classici tre lampeggi e poi funziona, senza fronzoli e senza cose difficili.La App da scaricare con QR Code è fatta bene, basta aggiungere il dispositivo e poi viene già indicato un preset di colori personalizzabili e uno di default, poi ovviamente è possibile cambiare il colore e tramite un comodo slide si può modificare la potenza luminosa, che – cosa molto importante – equivale a un vecchio 60W, quindi non adatta a un’illuminazione principale di un ambiente , piuttosto a un punto luce dedicato a un angolo della stanza a mò di luce di lettura.Ottima anche la possibilità di aggiungere un widget nella home del telefono per accendere la lampadina e gestirne il colore direttamente con un tocco.Leggermente macchinosa l’integrazione con la app Alexa ma – dopo qualche tap di troppo – funziona.Quindi prodotto consigliato, funzionante, facile e veloce da configurare e con una ottima app.
