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.

  This review is about the version: v2

  I've had it for 2.5 years and I use it daily. It does its job incredibly well, but a few days ago the blue light started flickering and I think it's for the trash, otherwise it's perfectly fine

  Very cheap and does what Philips Hue does for 1/5 of the price. I recommend. And the Tapo app does what it needs to do.

  It works perfectly through the app. If you have set a schedule and turn off the switch, when you turn it back on the programming continues normally. You can adjust the brightness, change colors, everything is flawless. I highly recommend it.

  This review is about the version: v1

  I have had the lamp for about a year with very little use, meaning I would turn it on once a week and sometimes not at all. Something burned out in the lamp and it started to flicker uncontrollably. The usage in the app was quite good, I must say, and I only had trouble connecting it to the app. I can no longer use it because it flickers; if it hadn't broken, I would have given it five stars.

  If you work with them from their app, they are fine. With Google Home, especially through a smartwatch, they don't perform perfectly... Personally, I have had to set them up from scratch twice in the 4 months I've had them, due to power outages. I know there is a related setting to return to the initial state after a power interruption. It has never worked... Many customization options, average brightness.

  I expected them to be better than the xiaomi or the nedis. But no. They always disconnect from Google home or their own app the next day, resulting in me turning them on the classic way until... they start working. I got the bulb and a spot from the same company. Both do the same thing.

  It loses the setup when you turn it off from the switch and never recovers - you have to redo the setup from the beginning again, adding a new bulb, connecting to the Wi-Fi, etc

  Until a year it was good, from now on I will delete it from the app and it will stay that way... I have to turn it off from the switch every time for it to turn off completely, even when I turn it on at first the light flickers for a few seconds between yellow and white...

  The lamp's colors, etc., are great; the options for it to play alone with the colors are very limited, it doesn't have a smooth transition in brightness when it dims to change color, and the step is noticeably apparent

  This review is about the version: v1

  It's okay for a lamp, good light and everything else. On the negative side, sometimes the response from the app to the lamp is very slow, it takes 2-3 minutes to press the button for it to respond. Also, it sometimes loses its signal, resulting in having to redo the entire connection process from the beginning. I wouldn't buy it again, but since I have already purchased it, I won't replace it in the near future.

  It disconnects from the app and then just works like a regular bulb, it doesn't reconnect with anything, I followed the manufacturer's instructions, but the app didn't see it again. What a shame, it was great while it was communicating!

  This review is about pieces: 2 pcs, version: v1

  Overall, excellent product for its price. It is exactly what it promises. A lamp that connects to the phone with the TAPO app. It works perfectly on my Android. Satisfactory brightness. All colors have good intensity. Through the app, it has some smart features (e.g., automatic brightness adjustment based on the time of day) and you can create and save any color and brightness you want. I have it in a lamp where I keep the switch always on and I turn it on and off from my phone. The only complaint is that the app and the widgets take a few seconds to send the signal

  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)

  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.

  This review is about the version: v1

  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.

  One of the best purchases I have made. There is the possibility of connecting with Google Assistant and this solves your hands. Quite bright bulbs with very good color performance. My favorite command with Google is to turn on the lights at a specific time!

  I have not yet tried the product, but I just opened it. It is not enough to have Google Home, it requires its own app, the TP-Link app. You have to create an account and my Google account is not enough for it. For a light bulb! Utterly unacceptable. One star.

  Generally, the only tiring thing is if you want to open and close it from the switch. If you do this a few times, the light bulb goes offline and then you have to re-register it.
  We bought two, one to adjust the light only and the other to control it remotely.
  Overall, though, it is a good construction and I recommend it!

  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.
