Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
But in any case, when I ordered the 4 pack they were all the same, as pictured with box, and they all work. The exact model is KL130 for anyone who's curious. I got the 4 pack because I was worried about getting mismatched versions, so I guess at least in my case that worked. I just ordered a second 4 pack to do the rest of my apartment, so if they wind up being different, I'll come back and say so.
I also read one review that said the bulbs were off and wouldn't go in their sockets which gave me doubts as well, but they do, in fact, fit into a standard socket. I got 3 of my 4 pack into my overhead fan light (the standard kind with gold metal, ridged glass and brown wood blades you see in apartments everywhere), then tested the remainder out in my bathroom mirror 4-light strip (again, the cheap medicine cabinet kind you see in low rent apartments everywhere) and then again into my old-timey touch lamp and it worked in all of them, so unless you have exotic fixtures of some kind, you're good to go. Also slightly surprised that they worked in my touch lamp, so if you were wondering about that, just touch to the highest light setting and you're good to go.
I was also kind of worried about how the setup would go since a few people said it was wonky, but not how and I didn't see the actual process pop right up in the first few pages of reviews, so I'll just include it here:
1. Download the "Kasa Smart" app, create a login and verify your email.
2. Put a light into your target fixture, turn it on to make sure it works, then turn it back off again.
3. Hit the plus sign in the upper right hand corner of the app.
4. Tap on the "Device" option
5. Tap on the "Smart light" option
6. Tap on the "Smart bulb KL100 series" option
7. The first prompt says "First, make sure the power is off on the light you're replacing. Swap the current bulb with the smart bulb", you've already done this, so tap "Next".
8. The next prompt says "Power on the light, wait about 5 seconds until the smart bulb blinks 3 times". Do that and then hit next.
9. It'll connect and then ask you to sign into your wifi.
10. You'll get a prompt for your bulb to update, do that.
11. Give the bulb a name.
12. Done
Optional #1: If you want to put a cluster of bulbs into a group so they all change colors/dim simultaneously like I wanted to with my 3 fan lights, make sure you've set each bulb up separately, then hit the + sign in the upper right hand corner and tap "group". Then select the bulbs you want to put in a group and give it a name. The main interface page will show groups on top as well as each individual bulb below.
Optional #2: Set up with your Alexa/Google/whatever. I jumped the gun on connecting Alexa before I added the bulbs and she announced each time one was installed that I could now control "TP underscore ... blah blah blah" by talking to her. Kind of highlights the importance of the names if you're going to be doing this because no way are you saying its given device name to control it. I mean, unless you're into that kind of thing, no judgement, but not for me.
Even though *I think* I got the model everyone was a bit displeased with, aside from putting in the wrong wifi password on the first attempt and having to delete and reinstall the app to fix it, setup was surprisingly easy and quick. Zero wonkiness actually wound up happening, so another win.
In terms of brightness and color versatility, when it's at it's brightest in white, I can't tell the difference between it and the intense spiral LED's it replaced...which is to say they're capable of being blinding if that's what you need.
For color versatility you legitimately get a whole color wheel to choose a color with and then the hardest part is really just picking one since all the colors look pretty cool. In an entirely dark room at night, the colors at full brightness somehow give a dimmed feel while still providing all the light you could want to look around with. As a dark mode everything person, it's a strange surprise best of both worlds scenario I keep double checking when I think it's actually dimmed by reading the book titles in perfect clarity across the room.
The dimming feature is on a percentage wheel similar to a speedometer and is also pretty nice.
Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase and that the reviews freaked me out for zero reason. If you get the 4 pack and/or the same version bulbs as I did, you should be all good :).

The dimming feature is on a percentage wheel similar to a speedometer and is also pretty nice.
Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase and that the reviews freaked me out for zero reason. If you get the 4 pack and/or the same version bulbs as I did, you should be all good :).

I bought two to put outside, one covered in the front porch and the one in the image. They’ve been out for over a year automatically turning on during the sunset everyday and off at 1am (a lot of cycles). Zero issues, very bright, no degradation that I can tell. I’m sure this will lessen their life span and will try to report back when/if they die. But I’m happy with the result and I plan to put a few more outside for my detached garage.
They also work GREAT with Home Assistant and can be ran locally being 100% blocked off from the internet. If that’s the plan, it works great!
Kasa is reliable as a brand and their quality is great. I have over 20 currently active Kasa devices; bulbs, plugs, LED strips. I have a couple Tuya devices, some Wiz chandelier bulbs and a few Magic Home bulbs, but I prefer and recommend Kasa over all other WiFi devices so far.

We have a 6-bulb chandelier hanging over our dining/gaming table, and installing these was super easy, barely an inconvenience.
It's kind of a pain in the butt to have to connect and set up the Kasa app and THEN connect that to Google Home (I dont use Alexa), but once you complete the initial set up, adding additional lights, outlets, whatever is a piece of cake, and the integration works seamlessly.
Now I have presets for candle-light moods, super creepy red lights to scare my D&D players, or fun party vibes (like all green for St Pattys or red & green for Christmas) and easy to control through my app or by voice control through my Home speaker.
There are, occasional connection issues (where one light doesnt come on, or it takes a few seconds, or whatever). Usually just turning them off and back on clears it up, if it doesnt fix itself first. There have been a few instances where I have needed to go back into the Kasa app and reconfigure them for some reason, but it didnt take more than a few minutes, and thats only happened a couple of times.
Its been tempting to add them to every lamp we have in the house.

They effortlessly hooked into Apple home kit, and even into the right room, TAPO app is basic but easy to use.
The only negative so far, is the black 2 core cable from PSU to white wifi controller is a little short and they only come in a max 5m length and can’t be extended.
I need to replace a faulty HUE light strip and I’ll be swapping over to the TAPO ecosystem without a doubt. I’m definitely going to try a bulb and see how it compares to Hue.

The strip is rated to be 1000 lumens bright, but that's the total brightness over the entire 5M strip, the actual brightness is about 200 lumens / meter, which isn't that bright at all. This would be useful as a ambient background or accent light, but it is too dim to be a useful task light. It would not be a good light to use for say a kitchen counter. There you would want something that has at least 2x the lumens / meter.
Another thing to note is that this strip can be cut about every 4 inches. Meaning you can cut and splice it as you desire to fit various shapes and furniture. Some other brands can also be cut, but often they can only be cut every 12-18", limiting flexibility.
Excellent choice at a good price point if you want a Apple HomeKit compatible strip light for ambient / accent use. Flexible cut and splice options. Not bright enough for a task or counter strip light.
