TP-Link LB200 Dimmable LED WiFi Smart Bulb No Hub Required, Works with Alexa Echo & Google Assistant, 72W Equivalent, Soft White Light …

I’m not going to lie: these are expensive! Are they worth the cost? Yes, they can be. The light is very bright and I see dimmable. I bought the recessed light without the color-changing option as well as the 50watt equivalent bulb. Both are very nice and work great. I did have some trouble getting the recessed light to work properly with the app because it was being super stubborn. A few flicks of the physical wall switch, though, and it was back to doing what it does. I mean, even if it doesn’t work with the app, it’s still a nice bulb, but that defeats the purpose.I live with an elderly grandpa who constantly forgets to turn on and off the lights. This makes it easy for him! Well, when he’s not trying to scream at Alexa or have a full-on conversation with it, like it’s his girlfriend. Haha. I’ve also put switches on the wax warmer and Christmas tree so we don’t have any fires from forgetting to turn things off. This also saves him from walking around in the dark to fiddle with a light because his little echo dot is in his bedroom.Overall, these products are just fantastic. Yes, Kasa is a great tool to link your devices. The true winner here, though, is integration with Alexa/echo. Easy to set up with WiFi (just have to have the Kasa and Alexa Apps as well as wi-fi and the subsequent password to connect), and the quality is great. Hopefully the energy use will help save on costs. Win-win for our household.

I have several mini plugs, one LB200 recessed light bulb and one 3-way switch. In all fairness, products are easy to connect (also disconnect to change to a different network) and work very well. However, there are some issues that have not been 5-star worthy rating.My LB200 stopped working after 4-5 months of minimal usage. While the company did eventually send me a replacement bulb (don’t now if it was a brand new one or a refurbished one) it took some back and forth by email to get the replacing accomplished. The nominal warranty of two years was not applied to the new bulb but rather it reversed back to the original bulb.In addition tp-Link recorded the warranty expiration date incorrectly and I have had to contact them twice, 10-15 minutes of chat each time, to try to get the correct date applied. Out of these episodes, I have concluded that the chat operators have no authority to make corrections even on obvious deficiencies but rather everything gets forwarded to a higher up. Caveat emptor: make sure you register products and make sure you have proof of purchase available. It will serve you well.The 3-way switch came packaged as a two units purchase, hence a price tag of around $60+ USD. But in fact, it is not necessary to install both units. You will be able to control a 3-way light by simply installing ONE tp-Link 3-way switch as has been noted by many customers in the questions and answers section.The KASA app works extremely well. Once a device is installed, one should go to the specific device setting and allow “Remote Control” so the device can be controlled from anywhere in the world as long as you have internet, either wifi or cellular.

I bought these during the holidays 2018 when they were on sale. I replaced a series of 6 canned lights with these plus can liners I grabbed from Menards. Overall, I am extremely pleased with these lights thus far! In our basement the light switch for all basement lights was at the top of the stairs, making it frustrating if you wanted to turn off for a movie/games or back on. Additionally, we couldn't dim them at all in the one room you want to really be able to dim for movie and TV watching! These did just the trick paired with a google mini (or w/o via the app too!). They are quite bright in my opinion, so we keep typically around 5% when waching TV. Having a set of them together is also nice because you can adjust independently or set up in groups (front row and back row for example) and further customize depedning on needs.The reason I took of 1 star on these is because there were some minor frustrations when setting up. They weren't always found by the app. Since I was installing 6 at once I at one point followed the FAQ about resetting a light if it couldn't be paired with the app. However, since it was my 3rd light in the set it also reset the first two I had done, so I had to then re-pair all of them. Again, nothing major overall and many times if it wasn't automatically found they were found immediately by pairing manually. I will continue to buy the TP-Link series (also bought a multi-color already!) as I continue to smartify my home.

I love the concept of these bulbs. Instead of reinstalling my current light switches with dimmers, I can just buy these. We purchased 10 of these however annnnd the experience has been frustrating. I’ve had to reset them several times. And quite often, I find myself having to go into the app and turn 4 out of the 10 bulbs back on so that they respond from the phone (if that makes sense). Basically I’m constantly having to reconfigure the lights to function properly. It’s hard sometimes to just have them work consistently enough when I chose a scene to put on cause there’s always ONE or more bulbs that don’t respond. Very very frustrating...If Kasa is reading this, I’d like some help and I’ll change my review.

If you just want to control one light in your room, like say, a mantle recess light that is meant to light most of the room. This is it. All the wi-fi is built into the LED bulb and the bulb is great, super bright. It's dimmable from 1-100% via alexa voice controls and its awesome.I'm still waffling on what "eco-system" if any i want to adopt for my alexa enabled lights, but so far i enjoy that tp-link/kasa don't require any extra gadgets to hook to your wifi router to allow them to function.Right now I prefer to buy the bulb for the situation rather than a starter pack that requires a widget to be connected to your wifi router just to enable it to connect to wifi. This is the brand for me and this particular bulb is perfect for my recessed mantle that I use daily.

Ando en el proceso de volver mi casa inteligente. Lo intenté poner en un lugar donde el encendido es con dimmer y comenzó a variar la intensidad de la luz, así que tuve que moverlo a otro punto donde el encendido es normal y listo. Una maravilla, puedes atenuar la luz con tu voz

Se sincroniza muy fácil, me ha permitido controlarlo vía Internet estsndo fuera de la ciudad

yo soy de las personas que se quedan dormidas con la luz prendida y este foto es perfecto para no hacerlo,se puede programar la hora de encendido y apagado así como a que intensidad lo quieres y cuando ha consumido.

Funciona muy bien y de muy buena calidad!!!

Surprisingly good. I set my 6 step schedule to increase the % of light of a 1/2 period in the morning. Just a great way to wake up.
