I was already buying the Alexa controlled plugs and switches from Kasa so when I saw you could just get the bulbs that could also be controlled by Alexa I had to try them. In fact, I not only purchased the bulbs to put around the house, I put the mini flood lights in the 6 sockets in the kitchen. I put the bulbs in ceiling fan fixtures and lamps and as I mentioned I put the mini flood lights in the kitchen. At first my wife thought I was nuts but she has grown to appreciate the Alexa bulbs because you can turn on the entire light fixture or you can just turn on one bulb. Sometimes you want more light and sometimes you want less. And if you go to bed and realize you left a light on you can simply tell Alexa to turn it off. It will really spoil you.

I originally bought the Phillips and once they came I realized I needed the hue bridge to be able to turn my lights on from other locations. With these you don’t need anything else! The app is really easy to use. I can put the lights on a schedule so I don’t have to worry about it or I can manually turn them on and off from the app when I’m not home! The only annoying this is, I also have an app for the Tapo link camera I have and when I downloaded the Kasa app for the lights my accounts synced. So just beware because it links your passwords too. Now though I have my lights and my camera on the same app if I want to access it all there. Not sure how long the bulbs will last but they are great so far. Able to turn the brightness down or too to your liking as well.

I have used C by GE smart lights with Google Home for many years but they sporadically and often would not respond to commands. However, I noticed smart devices that were by other manufacturers still responded during these annoying outages. So, after just dealing with this undependability for far too long, I switched all of the C by GE lights (20 bulbs) with these Kasa lights. The setup was a breeze and they simply work. The Kasa app is easy to use and the devices easily connected with the Google Home app.Going on a tangent here and ranting about the buggy nature of Google Home. It often goes offline and then magically comes back online. Pretty frustrating. Even more so is the fact the Google Home app doesn't give you an easy way to remove old devices (like the 20 GE bulbs) from your home setup. They literally removed the "remove" option from the device settings. I mean, WTF? Who thought that was a good idea at Google HQ? I had to create a whole other "Home" then move these old bulbs over to that new bogus home rather than being able to simply remove them.Anyway, getting back to these Kasa lights... They are great and I would highly recommend them to anyone that is sick of their lights from other manufacturers not working consistently with Google Home.

Saw these on sale and decided to give them a chance. Glad I did! This was my first foray into smart lightbulbs. They helped solve a particular problem in my apartment. My dining room light fixture is controlled by a non-dimmable Z-Wave smart switch. I don't have control over the hub, so I can't replace the switch. Not without incurring the wrath of my landlord, anyway. Not being able to dim that light was miserable.Smart bulbs ending up being an ideal solution. The Kasa app works great, and is almost as convenient as a physical dimmer. Sometimes it's better, since I don't have to get up from the table. The app *does* allow three bulbs to be linked and dimmed as one, which is essential for my application.Setup was easy as well. Each bulb starts in access point mode. First you log into each one and give it your Wi-Fi credentials. Then you add them in the Kasa app and group them as needed. Very slick.These also excel as lightbulbs. Color temperature is perfect. The 90+ CRI rating is believable. Dimming is smooth and incredibly fine grained, with no flickering at lower levels. I can dial in anything from candlelight to full light suitable to work by.I've been using these bulbs daily for five months, with no issues. I'm very pleased with them and would buy them again in a heartbeat.

Es una lata que con cualquier corte de luz de desprograman, al regresar la luz se quedan prendidos y ya no los reconoce la aplicación por lo que hay que hacer todo el proceso de emparejamiento.

No me dio problema conectarlos, y ponerlos con Alexa, dan buena luz, yo los puse para un cuarto de televisión, lámparas de pared, me gusta esta marca porque tengo ya como 7 años con 3 que puse afuera de la casa y no me han fallado y duran prendidos casi toda la noche como desde las 7 o 6pm los programo para que vayan bajando la intensidad mientras pasan las horas hasta que se apaguen a las 4 de la mañana y el recibo de luz sin problema, no hubo cambios desde que los puse, de verdad que no gastan!

Pensé que podría cambiar de amarillo a luz blanca y no lo hace, pero aún así son de buena calidad

Fáciles de sincronizar. Solo toma en cuenta que la temperatura de color es de 3000*K (amarillos)

Muy buen producto, facil de instalar, la aplicacion mobil es muy sencilla de usar , programable facilmente y permite el manejo de varias casas a la vez lo cual es muy util. El foco con diferentes tonalidades y niveles de blanco, con muy buena recepcion Wiifi .

La aplicación para conectar es fácil de usar, ya en Alexa tenemos las opciones completas también. Buena iluminación y no hay problemas de desconexiones. Ofrecen buen rendimiento sin necesidad de pagar tanto.

Son buenos, eficientes y sobre todo, fueron económicos.Si bien entiendo que obtienes lo que pagas, el único pero que le encuentro a este producto es que se desconectan mucho aún teniendo excelente señal del router.Tengan paciencia con las funciones de este producto, no siempre se activan al momento que lo pides. Yo uso Google nest y Google mini en diferentes partes de mi casa y es frustrante cuando pides que encienda y no se logra conectar.De ahí en fuera el producto es bueno, no es tan brilloso pero es suficiente para mí y mi esposa.

Fácil de instalar con la app, sirve para programar encender y apagar, o para apagar o encender desde el celular y pues moderar el brillo

Update 2: After almost a month of back and forth with support I finally got ahold of an engineer. The Engineer was very skilled and systematically helped look and check a number of settings and ended up with the resolution of downloading a Beta firmware and loading it onto the first bulb. I completed the remaining updates and so far has been stable for a day. Lots of work to get to this point, I hope they roll out a general update soon. Update 1: Previously I had tried after reading a few reviews, I can confirm what others have found out that if you have a larger home with many Access points, or mine that is old and has heavy plaster walls so I have multiple AP's These WILL NOT work. There is a bug in the bulbs that will not allow them to connect if you have the same SSID broadcasting on multiple AP's. As a test I setup a single AP, with a new SSID and connected my phone and the bulb to that and it worked just fine, however that solution is not a great one. I don't want to setup a separate SSID just for these bulbs on every AP as well as my main SSID. Original review: So I'm 0 for 8 on these lights now unless I use the work around. 2 got so far to upgrading the firmware when they would start, then drop off the network and change their name to the default TP-LINK_Smart Bulb_XXXX then become greyed out and unable to connect again. The other two got to the point there I could rename them then you would get the "something went wrong" and they could never rename them. All 4 actually got stuck at that point but turning two off and on and waiting for them to flash did the trick and they were able to get past that. But I'm an hour and 10 minutes in and so far these are pretty much junk compared to the MANY other TP link switches, dimming switches, plain, and 3 way, many of the plain switched outlets, and 8 or so of the power metering outlets, metering surge strips, the plain 3 outlet surge strips, a couple of the outdoor outlets as well as a couple of the color changing bulbs. Pretty much EVERYthing else from they is awesome working in great harmony with Alexa, and some basic IFTTT simple scripts. I'm about the click another bulb off and on with a second between each power cycle to reset it again, then I will have another 10 minutes to contemplate at it tries to connect to the network again. Hopefully this is a bad batch and has some faulty firmware. My other gripe is for TP-links support is if you send an email, you will get 1 and only 1 response per day, luckily the one previous faulty product I had was from Amazon and I could return it for full refund from them otherwise TP link was going to charge to return. 2 hours in, I'm subtracting a star as these don't even function as light bulbs even once they have flaked out. They have an annoying blink maybe once per minute. I have documented my findings and troubleshooting steps and opened a ticket. I was SO positive about how well all my TP link gear has worked so far that I already tossed the boxes into recycling and I just went to fish them out of the can.
