  • 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!

      Thanks Brad! I was really pleasantly surprised at how good the colors were on this light. For only $15 it’s going to be hard to beat

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @TechTechMoreTech
      @TechTechMoreTech  3 роки тому

      Guests do tend to make smart homes a bit tricky.
      Typically I will have a smart button that can control these devices, so they don’t need to learn any voice commands etc.
      there’s no specific guest mode though

All in all, I am highly disappointed and will be returning tomorrow.
