ATTENTION: Those who have purchased the product should check if the lamp emits a subtle high-frequency electronic sound during its operation. This usually happens at 100% brightness. It would be good to test the lamp when there is absolute silence, for example, late at night. If you hear this sound or whistling, then the lamp is defective and you may need to replace it - there are relevant reports on the Internet. Personally, I bought 4 lamps and only one presented this issue - I made sure to replace it immediately.
It is cute for its price. I have never tried a smart or RGB bulb before, so I don't know what the competition is like.
On the positive side, it has very easy connectivity - it worked with the app very easily and has nice settings such as a timer or trying to mimic the color temperature of the sun at a specific time of day in a specific geographical area.
On the negative side, its warm colors like yellow (orange/red) are not good (it has a tendency towards green in general). Even in "white" mode, it is not comfortable to use for reading/viewing and the printed colors do not appear correctly - they look dull. It definitely does not convince me that it has CRI80 - it is much worse than the already bad commercial bulbs.
I don't believe that I will use it to replace any functional/lighting purposes, but I think it will work for decorative lighting!
12-24 months later: the above still holds true, meaning it is only suitable for decorative lighting, and even then, you might stumble upon it. Don't even think about using it for reading or work. During this time, I really enjoy how it aesthetically enhances my space, and since there aren't many at its price, I just bought a second one. I should note that 2-3 times it lost its settings and I had to pair it again. I also had problems when trying to control it simultaneously from my phone and tablet. I solved it by uninstalling the app from the tablet.
The biggest issue with the bulb is that after power outages (which happen frequently here), the bulbs turn on, causing you to wake up in the middle of the night because of the light (and of course, if you're not home, they will remain on until you return to turn them off). Unfortunately, there is no option to change this behavior.
1-2 times a month I need to reconnect it to the wifi otherwise every time I turn it on it blinks. Just for this 1 star because it is extremely annoying!
Pros: Brightness intensity, firmware upgrades, ease of connection, automation with the corresponding Hubs.
Cons: Several reconnections (depending on the type of Wi-Fi security and the type of Router), connection delay if you turn off the switch (compared to other brands)
I use it as my main light! The best thing I have bought for my home, the colors are very beautiful and the application is very good. The only thing I would like is for it to be a little more intense in white
Useful and economical lamp. It was installed in an E27 socket for a floor lamp, inside a bedroom. It connects very easily to the "TAPO" app, to control it from your mobile phone. Satisfactory brightness that can be controlled, as well as the option to switch between several different colors. I believe that the best and most relaxing color is deep red.
The packaging says 800Lm, but the light intensity is lower compared to traditional commercial bulbs with the same Lumens. No connectivity issues through the TP-Link Tapo app on mobile. Adjust the settings once and then you don't have to worry about it again. However, for a large space (30 sqm living room), the 3 bulbs I bought are not enough for sufficient lighting. But for a bedroom of 10-15 sqm with 2-3 bulbs, you can create a good atmosphere.
TL:DR Smart lighting requires money.
I have bought 2 of them, I have been using them daily for 2 years for several hours, if they are connected to a stable internet, they never disconnect, they are very reliable.
Easy connection, good and user-friendly application.
Very good brightness adjusted below 2800 Kelvin (in Warm). The brightness decreases significantly from 3000 Kelvin and above (about 50%). The RGB is okay for effects. Sometimes it loses connection if the switch is turned on and you turn off the lights through the application for a long time. They reconnect easily, but it's an issue for someone who wants to control the lights only through the app.
Very good bulbs. But be careful, they have limited brightness and are not suitable for large spaces! They cover me in a small room. They are easily adjustable, with simple instructions. Their operation with the application is flawless, but sometimes they are slow to turn on or off when I press the switches through the program, and it's a bit annoying. Smart in every sense, with many program functions and nice color rendering even in white (warm-cold). I am quite satisfied.
Through the mobile application, the color and brightness change. You can also choose between warm or cool light. I connected it to Google, but sometimes it finds it and sometimes it loses it, while the manufacturer's application is more reliable.
I bought two bulbs to automatically turn on the lights in my dog's house when it gets dark.
Brightness, dimmer, colors, programming: everything is perfect.
The only reason I don't think I would buy these bulbs again is that there are two people in the house with the app, and we have each reconnected them at least 10 times in the past 8 months that we have had them.
They may need to be connected to only one mobile device. (Of course, with the smart plug from the same company, we don't have this problem).
Everything else is good, but the brightness for 806lm does not correspond to reality. The L510E has significantly better brightness despite also being listed as 806lm.
Very good lamp. The application on the mobile is very easy with many color options. The intensity is not very strong, it is ideal for smaller spaces, in larger spaces it works better as a supplement. Overall, a very good choice
After trying a wiz and never managing to maintain a connection to the network, I returned it and got the tapo. It connected perfectly fine to Google Home and opens and closes with the assistant. The brightness is great. As for colors, I don't have a particular opinion, I don't think I will use anything other than white, yellow, and blue, which so far seem fine to me.
Very good choice, I have bought 4 so far, they work with scheduling, so whether I'm away or not, the lights turn on and off when they should. I use them both indoors and outdoors (living room, house entrance, etc).
Also, it solved the problem of having to install a dimmer switch since it has brightness adjustment.
The app is easy, simple, and understandable. Connectivity is also easy.
To avoid difficulties during the lamp's connection with the app, it is good to disable the automatic connection to the Wi-Fi of your house/office or wherever you are, so that you can connect to the lamp's hotspot before your phone reconnects to the Wi-Fi of the house/office, etc. The rest is really easy and the app guides you
Basically, the essence lies in the support of TP-LINK, which with its application, easily connects various devices of theirs (bulbs, cameras, etc.) in a large number.
After a three-month period, everything was fine, but suddenly it disconnected. I've been trying to reconnect it for two days now, but nothing. What a waste of money.
The lamp is fine... I don't use it at 100% brightness because I want something more relaxed, but I believe that 100% is too strong, I use it at 1% because I want it to contrast with another light fixture. The quality is also good for an LED lamp. It has several smart functions. I would say that the price of 11.90 euros was a bit steep... but other than that, it's fine!
Very easy connection, excellent Tp-link application. I use it for my office and the white light covers it perfectly. The variety of colors it can provide is impressive. Recommended!
I would like the light to have a little more intensity (maybe around 1000lm), however, for my office where I use it, it is quite good.
The only negative thing is that after a power outage, the lamp turns on and you have to go into the app to turn it off.
It does not give intense light, but for auxiliary purposes it is fine. The application is fine, satisfying the basic functions. The connection with the application is easy, however there are also instructions in the packaging.
I bought the lamp yesterday and tested it immediately. The lamp is almost as bright as equivalent LED lamps, always talking about the same wattage. The Tapo application is simple and guides you step by step to avoid any mistakes in the Greek language (installation was done on an iPhone). Easy adjustment of the lamp with several functions such as brightness, scheduling, etc. I will definitely buy more...
EDIT: Four months later and everything is working perfectly. The application only gave me trouble once, but after a quick update, it was fixed!
Reliable product, I use them as exterior lights in my country house, the brightness in white is not satisfactory, unfortunately I ignored previous reviews that mentioned this.
Reliable product, I use them as external lights in my country house, they do what they promise without any issues. They don't disconnect even though I have placed some of them quite far away from the modem.
Very good purchase I would say, I have it for several months and it hasn't had any issues!
You download the operating program on your mobile and it works perfectly without freezing.
I would like it to have a slightly brighter light, but it doesn't bother me like this!
The lamp is very good for its price, together with the mobile application it is very easy to handle. In terms of colors, it is quite satisfactory, it captures many colors and shades but I think it is not 100% accurate. It has about 90% effectiveness regarding the codes of difficult colors. Nevertheless, it is very good.
