Tapo L530B (2-Pack) Smart Bulb, B22 Colour Changing Light Bulb, Alexa Light Bulbs, LED Light Bulb,8.7W (60W), Dimmable, Schedule & Timer, Energy Saving, App Remote Control, Google Voice Control

I’ve used a few of these Tapo bulbs now and they’re always spot on. This 2-pack is great value and, like the others, they were really simple to get connected to the Wi-Fi without any fussing about. The app is straightforward to use and the colours are brilliant—you can get the lighting exactly how you want it. They’re reliable too; I’ve not had any issues with them dropping out or losing connection. If you have the capability to add these to a dedicated 2.4ghz Wi-Fi network then you'll definitely benefit from that, but if not, don't worry as they still work fine on normal Wi-Fi. If you’re looking to smarten up your lighting, you can’t go wrong with these.

I’ve been really impressed with the Tapo L530B smart light bulbs. Setup was surprisingly easy, they connected to my home WiFi right away without any hassle. Once they were online, pairing them with Alexa only took a minute, and they’ve been super reliable since. The Tapo app is also very straightforward. Changing colors, adjusting brightness, and setting schedules all feel intuitive. I especially like how responsive the bulbs are; when I give a voice command through Alexa or adjust something in the app, the lights react almost instantly. Overall, these bulbs have been a great addition to my smart home setup. Easy to install, easy to use, and they just work.

Works well most of the time, but (and I'm stressing that this is rare) sometimes it has an issue connection to the internet and can be a little difficult to reconnect, this does not prevent the light from operating like a normal light bulb though by turning it off and on at the switch you can still use it to light up a room, you just lose the ability to adjust brightness and colour until you can get it reconnected. this has only happened a couple of times in my ownership. That slight annoyance is the only reason for the 4 stars. If you haven't used Tapo products before, this light and I assume most of the Tapo ecosystem have the ability to have smart features without needing a home assistant like Google nest or amazon Alexa. You can set schedules up for the lights to come on at certain times, you can monitor how much energy the lights are using, there is an away mode that will turn the lights on and off randomly between whatever times of day, to mimic someone being home to deter prospective thieves, and you can set timers to have the light turn off after an amount of time has passed, good for if you like to fall asleep with a dim light but don't want it to be on for the whole night.

Love these bulbs. Our hive bulbs constantly disconnected and were at least twice the price for one. Slowly scrapping all our hive products and moving over to Tapo. We now have 8 of these bulbs in our house and experience no issues. They fully compatible with Alexa and my daughter loves the colour range. She is Audhd and loves lights that change colour. It’s also great that you can set them all to the same colour or change each one individually. We are definitely a Tapo family and will continue to use and recommend their products to everyone. All of the products we have from Tapo outperform the price by miles.

These smart bulbs have been super useful for me and now have quickly become part of my everyday routine. Being able to turn the lights on and off from my phone is way more convenient than I expected, especially when I am not in the room or want the lights ready before I walk in. The colour changing feature works well and is easy to adjust in the app even though I mostly stick to the normal warm light for day to day use. When I do want a different mood or softer lighting having the option there is a nice bonus. What really sold these bulbs for me is the scheduling function. I use it alongside my work alarm so that every morning when my alarm goes off, the light turns on automatically at the same time (great for us lazy people haha). That extra light makes a noticeable difference and helps me wake up faster rather than laying in the dark pressing snooze. The app is clear and reliable and once the schedule is set it just works without needing any adjustment. Overall these bulbs are reliable and easy to use without any complicated setup. They respond quickly, save energy and integrate smoothly into daily life rather than feeling like a gimmick. For anyone looking to add smart lighting that is actually practical, these are an excellent choice and well deserving of five stars.

There appears to be a fault of sorts. Where the router goes off and comes back on the Tapo devices do not reconnect to the effect that all the Tapo devices are disconnected simultaneously. The only way I've found to get them connected is to restart the router. Other than the small fault the bulb works faultlessly and is easy to fit following the instructions in the Tapo app

I’ve enjoyed using them daily throughout my home. I like the fact you are able to set up a routine. I work unsociable hours and I have scheduled the lights to switch on with my alarm and when I leave and return home so I’m not stumbling in the dark. It has a good colour range and dimmer setting that is also beneficial for mood lighting. The set up is very easy thanks to the app and has good connectivity. They are compatible and work alongside Alexa devices which is very convenient.

Nice and easy to set up in the Tapo app, controllable by both Alexa and Google, and works well with any custom Alexa routines. Not particularly bright, but does the job. I bought a two-pack of these to replace another TP-Link bulb that had failed after 7 years from the Kasa range, which seems to be getting less love in favour of Tapo by the company. Annoyingly, the first bulb failed after only 12 months, nowhere near the 15,000 hours it is rated for, which, given my usage, should have lasted about 5 years. I also bought some Tapo spotlights, and I had to replace one of them within a year or so, so I'm not convinced these are as good as the Kasa range. Maybe just some bad luck, but I'll see if any more fail, as the product is good when it works.
