Tapo TP-Link Smart Light Bulbs, 16M Colors RGBW, Dimmable, Alexa Frustration-Free Setup, A19, 60W Equivalent, 800LM CRI>90, 2.4GHz WiFi only L531E

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.

The bulbs were delivered on time.They were easy to set up and functioning as described. The variety of colors, though limited, are nice and add ambiance to the room. The ability to alter the brightness is a great feature.They maintain settings even when the light is turned off and will resume at the last set color and brightness selected.So far they're working flawlessly. I will try to update if that changes.

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.

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 wasn’t sure how much I’d actually use a smart light bulb, but this one completely exceeded my expectations. Setup was quick and easy—just screw it in, connect it to the app, and I was up and running in minutes. The ability to control the brightness and color from my phone (or voice assistant) is super convenient, especially when I’m winding down at night or setting the mood for a movie.Scheduling features are a huge plus—I never have to worry about forgetting to turn off the lights when I leave. It also works flawlessly with Alexa/Google Assistant, making it a seamless part of my smart home setup.The light quality is excellent—bright, customizable, and energy-efficient. Honestly, I didn’t think a light bulb could impress me, but this one really did. I’ll definitely be buying more for other rooms!

A little more difficult to connect then I would have liked but could be just that the signal is a little different then before. But once that happened it was great. Love the colors
