TP Link Smart Light Bulbs

[Pattern Name: Matter Light Bulb, Size: 4 Pack]
Works great. Easy to program with Alexa and you can adjust brightness and the actual color of the bulb. Fantastic.

Works well! You can select almost an unlimited number of colors. I just the bulb was brighter. Anyway it was easy to set up. I use Samsung smartthings to have the bulb slowly light up beginning at 5:30am to be at 100% by 6am Mon-Fri. Also added a widget so I can simply press the widget to turn the bulb on and off. Additionally, I can tell Bixby to turn the bulb on and off.

Since I was purchasing a Tapo hub to store security camera footage, I figured I should try these out as well. Coming from Philips Hue bulbs using their dimmer switch, these are slower and more finicky. I have the Tapo dimmer switch controlling three of these bulbs and it takes a second for them to turn on and off. They also strangely ramp up in brightness when turning on, going to about half of the set brightness before the actual set brightness. These three bulbs are grouped together in the app and sometimes one will be out of sync with the others (off when the other are on, and vice versa). Usually I can set them all to zero brightness then the actual desired brightness to re-sync them, but sometimes I need to go through the trouble of unpairing the bulb in the app and going through the whole set up process again. This has happened maybe six or so times in the last ten months. The Hue bulbs on the other hand only had issues twice in the five years I used them as far as I can remember.

These bulbs were very easy to set up with the Tapo app and connected to Wi-Fi without any issues. They get really bright, and I love being able to adjust both the color and brightness depending on the mood. The app is simple to use, and scheduling works great. Just read instructions carefully, so you get how to set it up (💡: you need to switch to flicker mode). They’ve been reliable so far and are a great value compared to other smart bulbs.

Good bulbs, pairing is easy, but not as bright as I’d like. Supposed to be 1100lm, but I have some 800lm ge bulbs that are brighter. I got these for my ceiling light, since I wanted it to be brighter than my lamp. Results were disappointing. Also, they're dramatic. Alexa shows them as "Device disconnected" if I don't activate them with a degree of regularity. They turn on every time, but that showing disconnected, that's annoying to me.

Put the light in the socket, turned it on, opened Google Home and scanned the bar code sticker in the box. Done.No additional third party apps or accounts needed.It throws a lot of light. I can put two in my ceiling lamp and it feels like the sun. Claims to be a 75 watt equivalent. I'd say it's plenty of light for most things.Can also dim and change both color and color temperature. I told Google to turn my kitchen light blue and it did. Features all work in automation too.At roughly 10 us dollars per bulb, it's a little pricey for a light bulb, but way cheaper than a dimmable smart plug and surprisingly entertaining.Feels like a plastic light bulb in terms of quality. I had zero fear when installing.Seems to be standard in size to the common household light bulb.I can't speak for durability as I just turned it on and off a few times, but it did work, flawlessly with Google Home, out of the box, so it's a winner.10/10. Will buy again.

I picked these bulbs because they seemed like a good deal, and I needed some new ones for my room. The light is pretty bright (almost too bright sometimes), but it works well as a cheap sun lamp to help me wake up in the morning (who needs coffee?). They're also easy enough to set up and work with all the major voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant, which is nice. I don't have many smart home devices, but these were simple to add into my existing setup. My favorite part is probably the ability to change the colors though, it adds some variety to my room (I even got a couple of those fake neon signs from Wish to go along with it).The Matter thing seems like overkill for me since I don't have many other smart home devices but hey, at least they work offline if needed. My internet has been pretty stable though, so haven't had to test that out yet (maybe one day when I get around to buying more smart stuff for my apartment). All in all, these bulbs are a solid choice if you need some new lighting and want the convenience of voice control and app support. The price is right too, can't complain there.

First off I am almost totally blind, so this review is from a man with extreme visual limitations, and as that man go on knowing that you may have a different experience in setting up these bulbs.I am trying to move everything I can in my house to Work on both Amazon and Apple. After listening to a lot of videos about matter certified bulbs, TAPO seem to be the best value for the money. I ordered 10 of these bulbs in total, which took care of every light in my house. They were very easy to set up Through the Alexa app, but not through the TAPO app. And even harder through HomeKit. The videos I listen to told me to just scan the QR code through HomeKit and set it up. Not one of the QR codes worked so I had to generate each individual code Through the Amazon Alexa app and then put it into HomeKit. It was a very tedious task and that being said, I still am not able to add any of the bulbs to the TAPO app.I would also like to say that these bulbs aren’t as responsive as their Regular smart KASA bulbs. Whether I’m using Siri or Alexa to activate them, they take a couple seconds to come on. I do like the fact that when I did finally get them connected to the Siri portion that I can just tell my Apple Watch or say hey Siri through my earbuds and they worked and light up just like they’re supposed to. This means that if I am out and about, I do not have to pull my phone out and open it with Face ID to open the Alexa app to work them. That is a big plus for me.All in all I do like these bulbs, and I wish I could set up the scene mode through the Alexa app or HomeKit, but that’s only available through Tapo, which I cannot use. These work and do the job that they’re supposed to do albeit slow so I am on the fence about recommending them. Maybe with some updates they will get better and if that’s the case, I will come back and change the review as of now they are mediocre at best.
