Better than Philips Hue!?- TP-Link Kasa KL125 Review

The new TP-Link Kasa KL125 Color Light is the newest addition to their smart home lineup that includes everything from smart lights, to plugs, switches and even cameras.

In this review I am going to over the setup, look at the functionality that the app offers, test the brightness, color accuracy, speed, and reliability, go over which ecosystems are supported and ultimately conclude whether or not you should buy this or not.

Overall I am very pleased with this light. It’s got a solid app, good compatibility with other ecosystems, and most importantly, it’s bright, accurate, and has excellent colors for its price.

This is a great review! I like how you compared the bulbs in a split screen. It is interesting to see the comparison especially given the appealing price point! Keep up the great work!

i have had one of the tplink kasa lights for about 6 years now and in several different houses and they are still going strong great review

[jamiebrooke]

I think I might get these - thanks for the solid review!

Asking the same question as some others... can this bulb cycle through various colours? There are conflicting responses everywhere online. The first 5 seconds of this video clearly demonstrate a cycling effect. Looking for a more user-friendly option to the govee product/app. Plus, I've had really good experiences with Kasa's other products.

Seems a solid entry smart bulb for a lot of folk out there! Good job!

Great coverage of the TPLinkKasa bulb Karlo! I actually use the HS-300 throughout my house for the sense integration! It’s been solid product and definitely worth the $. 100% gold advice. Your ISP’s wifi router IS garbage!

Out of all the smart lights I have the Kasa lights are my favorite. They are easier to setup than the other smart lights. My other smart lights go offline too sometimes. I try to use my Lifx bulb and it says it's offline sometimes. But my Kasa bulbs never go offline. They always work. I like being able to turn on my porch light while I'm doing my grocery shopping. And being able to dim my lights when I go to sleep. No more walking across a dark room and tripping on things to find a light switch. Or being blinded by a lamp on my night stand.

Had to return them . 2 out of 4 malfunctioned within 7 days of installing.

Great video. Thanks! Just curious, what gen was that Hue bulb? The green looked more like a gen two bulb.

[johnhampson]

This looks like a really good smart bulb, but I'm at pains to work out why it is so expensive.

You showed color cycling at the beginning, but it DOES NOT HAVE THIS FEATURE!?

[Willee]

Very nice and easy to understand video! I started with Wemo (junk) several years ago. That didn't last long and switched to Philips Hue. 2 hubs went bad within the first year so I then switched to TP-Link Kasa and couldn't be happier. Price, color and responsiveness are are all without issue. I now have 40+ Kasa devices including bulbs, switches and outlets.

can it cycle threw colors like rainbow RGB

[daviddang]

Nice review. What happens if the bulb is on or off and the wifi goes down? Can you turn it off or on manually?

[luisc.]

Hey bro, great review, with this smart bulb can we cycle the colors? According to the music for example

[karlatkin]

Just one question if you have these in a normal light fitting do u need to switch the light switch on and leave it on or does it not need power switch

[sampalicki]

does anyone know if you can save colors on this model outside of the presets?

[circuitwolf]

Do you know if this can be voice controlled through Siri?

[McDude]

Looks like a good light, nice review 😃

[HALEdigitalARTS]

Q: does it need internet, or just wifi?
