New Kasa Smart Bulb, Full Color Changing Dimmable Smart WiFi Light Bulb Compatible with Alexa and Google Home, A19, 9W 800 Lumens,2.4Ghz only, No Hub Required, 1-Pack (KL125), Multicolor

Lights, Camera, Action!
Easy to set up! There are multiple colors available in the app to choose from. I just got mine a couple of days ago so I’ll update if needed after I’ve used it for a little bit. My main reason for buying it was so that I can have a small light at night when I’m out. I have a cat and I’d perfer she not be in the dark when I go out at night (don’t judge me🤭).The price was nice and it works as described. Love the fact that I can set a schedule and it works with Alexa!

Easy enough and works, but one small wish
So far so good. Though it’s only just been installed today it works and does have the color picker which is great. My only wish would be if it had hex color support. If it does I can’t find it. Was trying for a certain hue and it’s so close almost perfect, almost. Still so many to choose from and easy to adjust.Anyway it was easy to install, screw it in, sign up, connect. The connecting part was slightly confusing as you had to connect to their wifi I guess like a temp network also and switch back but only took about 10 minutes for everything to set up and now I’ve got great mood lighting.Hoping it lasts for a while.

Great – Just Works – But Basic
I initially was a Hue bulb user but I had multiple quirks so I completely dumped them and switched over to the Kasa Bulbs. Reason I picked the Kasa Bulbs over others was because I already had some Kasa Switches and Kasa Plugs so I didn’t want another App and another eco system to worry about. Also, my existing Kasa stuff works perfectly. With that said, here’s my reviewProsApp is simple and straight forward (see negative)They work with Google, Alexa, IFTTT, and Smart Things (no Apple Homekit) so I’m not tied to a single smart systemBrightness is great. Brighter than my Hues (1000 lumen bulb)No Hub neededFast response. When I turn on or off the lights, or even change brightness/color, it’s pretty much immediate – my friend has Feint Electric bulbs, and there is like a 3-5 second delayI can control lights remotely – when I’m away from home I can see status of the lightsPrice – 2 pack of Hue is $100 (not including hub). 2 pack of Kasa, about $30Setup is super easy (see negative)NegativesThe app being simple is a negative. Coming from the Hue app, Kasa app is super basic. While you can get it to do pretty much everything you could do in the Hue app, it’s a lot of manual setup. Example: Hue has a ton of pre-setup scenes like night ‘Misty Morning’, etc. Whereas Kasa has 3 basic scenes to start. You can definitely ‘recreate’ any Hue scene in the app, but it’s a lot of work.(small gripe) Continuing with, app, the home screen should be quick access to things (more grouping of icons). Example: Hue has all the scenes at the top and lights below that. So once you go in to the app, it’s one click to change scenes or to turn off/on a light. In Kasa, it’s extra click or additional scrolling to accomplish the same thingAnd then there are no add-ons like Hue to make the lights more fun and dynamic. Like on New Year, I could set Hue lights to ‘Firework’ and that was cool. There is zero dynamic modes with KasaTo go along with the ‘fun’ topic. You can link your Hue up media device and have it changes colors while it plays (music, tv). There is nothing in the Kasa ecosystem right now that does that.Setup can be annoying because the app can be confusing during setup. (see below for easy headache free setup)No Apple Homekit supportIFTTT – does not support triggers, only actions.While I’m going to miss some things about the Hue lights, I’m not going to miss the headaches. Hue lights are more ‘fun’ (just don’t expect no issues), but if you want lights that just work, have great brightness, color selection and are a fraction of the price of Hue, I highly suggest the Kasa bulbsPre-setup notesIf you are connected to a vpn on your phone or using AdGuard, disable it before you startRequire 2.4Ghz WiFi. Will not connect to 5Ghz. On your phone connect to your 2.4Ghz WiFi before you startIf you have more than 1 bulb to install, do 1 at a time. Don’t install any of the other bulbs until you finish the previous.Setup works best when you wait about 20-30 seconds after you plug in the bulb before trying to it up.Setting up bulb1 – in the Kasa app, press the + in the top right corner2 – select Device3 – select smart lights4 – select Smart Bulb KL100 series5 – click next on install screen6 – click next on power screen7 – app will try to connect to bulb, if it connects to bulb, skip to step 118 – if it fails to connect, wait like 5-10 seconds and hit ‘try again’9 – if it still fails to connect, open your WiFi settings on your phone and manually connect to the Bulb (bulb should be TP_Link….)10- now go back to the app and hit ‘try again’11- pick the WiFi and enter your WiFi password12- when you get to the ‘Connect to your WiFi’ screen, if the app switches you back your initial WiFi (takes about 20 seconds), click ‘already connected’.

Easy to use
Nice lights, need to connect one at a time else may have problems hooking to the wifi. Using as outdoor carriage lights and they work well

The smart bulb works great and is easy to set up. Brightness is excellent, and the color options are vibrant and accurate, making it perfect for both everyday lighting and mood settings. The build quality feels solid, and it has been reliable so far with no connection issues. Overall, it’s a great value for the price and a convenient upgrade from a regular bulb.

These Kasa Smart Light Bulbs are amazing! The brightness is impressive—1000 lumens easily lights up an entire room—and the color range is incredible. I can switch from warm cozy lighting to vibrant colors in seconds right from my phone.Setup was a breeze with the Kasa app, and I love that they work perfectly with Alexa and Google Assistant. The dimming feature is smooth, and the customizable scenes make it easy to set the perfect mood for any occasion.Reliable connection, beautiful colors, and excellent brightness—these bulbs have completely upgraded my space. Highly recommend!

Los productos TP Link son grandiosos; tengo un router archer AX 6000, 6 interruptores inteligentes, 1 dimmer inteligente, 1 x 4 pack de smart plugs mini, dos regletas inteligentes con tres entradas, entre otros dispositivos de esta marca y no saben fallar, tienen un funcionamiento eficiente, además de que la aplicación Tp Link Kasa es bastante útil.En general puedo decir que este foco a pesar de ser económico tiene buen flujo luminoso (medido en lumen) bastante bueno, acercándose en calidad a la de su competencia “los focos phillips Hue” (los cuales tengo 1 x 2 pack), alumbra bastante bien mí escritorio, tiene una amplia gama de colores y temperatura de color (medida en Kelvin), lo empleo para uso rudo, varias horas al día, sin embargo llega a calentarse un poco, recomiendo no situarlos en sockets embebidos para que tengan una ventilación óptima.Para quienes comentan que su dispositivo pierde constantemente la conexión, sugiero que compren un enrutador TP Link de gama media (quizás un enrutador “TP-Link WiFi 6 AX3000 Smart WiFi Router” para arriba) para que tengan una mejor gestión de los dispositivos conectados a su red wi-fi, ya que inicialmente a mí me pasaba lo mismo, hasta que adquirí un buen enrutador, el router TP Link AX6000 (procuren también actualizar el firmware de su enrutador de manera periódica para no sufrir pérdida de velocidad en la transferencia de datos). Anteriormente tenía el módem típico que TELMEX provee, el cual sólo me brindaba 17 mb/s de los 200 mb/s contratados al momento de hacer el “speed test”, desde que adquirí el enrutador TP Link antes mencionado el manejo de mis dispositivos es excelente, ya que gestiona de manera óptima todos los dispositivos y de manera simultánea, habiendo más de 20 dispositivos conectados a la vez (echo studio, echo dot, 4 pantallas, 2 laptops, 3 smart phones, y varias luces inteligentes Philips Hue y Tp Link), he hecho muchas mediciones de Speed test conectado a este enrutador TP Link Archer 6000 y en la banda de 5G, y puedo decir que la velocidad de transferencia de datos es de 200 mb/s en promedio, pero aún más importante, la gestión de los dispositivos es excelente.P.D.A mí me costó este smart bulb $309.49 mxn, precio imbatible para un foco inteligente de colores.
