Tapo TP-Link Smart Light Bulbs, 1100 Lumens High Brightness (75W Equivalent), Matter-Certified, 16M Colors WiFi Light Bulb, Dimmable, Works w/Siri, Alexa & Google Home, A19 E26, L535E(2-Pack)

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.

These work perfectly with Siri. The Matter compatible setup makes it so easy. I didn’t need to download the Tpo app or the Matter app. Just used my home pod through my Apple Home app to set them up. They react quickly when I want to change the colors and the brightness is twice as good as it was before with just regular lights. Amazing value for the money. I’ve got my two night stands set together and then the 3 lights in my ceiling fan set together. It’s amazing to just say Siri turn off the ceiling lights or turn off the bed lights OR just say turn off the lights and they all turn off! Just scan the QR codes in the box to connect with your hub and wallah. They react quickly when adjusting colors as well. Amazing buy. The power went out the other night and all I had to do to get them to reconnect was unplug the electric source and plug them back in.

I use Apple Home for automation and have a home hub. These Matter-certified bulbs work well with Apple Home and paired instantly in the Home app just by scanning the QR code. So far, on the first day of use, they appear to be totally reliable with Apple Home and work well. The setup was ultra smooth and easy, like all other Matter-certified devices I've added to Apple Home.There are a few cons, though:1. The brightness of the bulbs is pretty weak for a 75W-equivalent bulb. At ~2700K, they are at their brightest and somewhere between 60W and 75W. However, when switching to a daylight temperature like 4000K-5000K they are a good bit dimmer… definitely not over 60W-equivalent, possibly less. And for raw colors, they are drastically dimmer, but colors are just a nighttime gimmick anyways and I don't care about that; I only want to adjust color temperature throughout the day. My big issue is that the daylight temperatures feel dim.2. Some white-range colors are way off with the Apple Home app. Certain near-daylight colors are rendered by the bulb as bright orange, while other smart lights I have render them correctly. It's not a total dealbreaker as I just adjusted the color swatch to something the bulb can handle, but I was surprised by this.3. For some reason, the Matter QR code is not printed directly on the bulb base, just the ID number. There are QR code stickers included in the box, but this really should have been printed on the bulb itself. I will probably lose track of these stickers in the future, and it will be more complicated trying to re-pair them then, since the Apple Home app wants to scan a QR code.Seems like a good budget bulb that's reliable, but I'm still on the fence about returning these and just paying up for the Hue bulbs. Overall, my main complaint is the brightness level at daylight temperatures.

I’ve committed myself to KASA products. I already have Hue. The thing is when you get lights you’re typically downloading an app and using it for the light. I have Hue and have been using them for a decade now and I do enjoy it. No issues whatsoever and they’re bright. BUT, They’re expensive. Few years ago I started buying KASA branded items really without thinking about. Just happened to be on sale when I needed certain products at the time such as their plug-ins. I also saw govee lights on sale but I had already been buying KASA I didn’t want to dl another app and have all these apps selecting back and forth so I stuck with this brand and so far I’ve been extremely happy, fortunately. Hue is the only one works with my iPhone Siri and Alexa devices. I wish others were because Home is quite easy to use on iOS. However, Alexa works excellent with this light I purchased as well as the long strips. My mom has no problems using the Echo devices to activate the lights. And this light, as I mentioned, is bright. I’m glad I can change light color or dim it in the restroom when I’m brushing my teeth and quick shaving when I don’t need a full blast light. The app it uses works flawlessly, never once had an issue connecting any lights.The only issue I’ve had is after installing this light I bought another strip, and now the app will sometimes get stuck specifically with the strip. Actually only with the strip, so it doesn’t affect my score for this light as it’s been great. And it will change color scene then get stuck. I read a review about Alexa resetting settings after turning off the light but I have yet to fortunately come across said issue. I can turn off the lights, unplug them, whatever it may be and afterwards plugging them back in or turning on switch will still work with Alexa. It’ll take about a second or two for the light to pick up Wi-Fi (as with any device) before the echo can change color or light brightness but it’s been perfect.All in all, I will continuously buy KASA light or device when I need one. I have a gaming light connected to their plug in and along with Alexa created a group with it, the KASA color strip, and a hue light to create a room and it all works together seamlessly. Their app is quick. The price has been cheap and the lights are very bright that I stopped buying Hue color lights. Can’t recommend enough.Highly recommended!

These lights were super easy to pair with my Apple Homekit. They're a lot brighter than I expected. I would definitely get them!
