Tapo L530B(2-Pack) B22 Smart Bulb Multicolour Dimmable LED Light Bulb

Really impressed with these smart bulbs. Setup was straightforward and they connected to Alexa without any issues. The colours are bright, there’s loads of different settings to play around with and being able to control them from your phone is really handy. Great for changing the mood in the room or setting timers and routines. Been reliable so far and definitely worth the money.

I recently picked up this 2-pack because one of my original Tapo bulbs eventually reached the end of its lifespan after heavy use. Honestly, I didn't even think twice about switching brands. These are, without a doubt, some of the easiest smart bulbs I've ever had the pleasure of using, and this recent purchase only reinforces that.Ease of Use & SetupIf you are intimidated by smart home tech, this is the bulb for you. Setup is completely foolproof. You simply screw it in, download the Tapo app, and follow the on-screen prompts to connect it to your Wi-Fi. The app itself is delightfully simple, clean, and intuitive. Integrating it with my voice assistant took seconds, and it has been incredibly responsive ever since.Size, Weight, and ColourPhysically, the bulb has a clean, minimalist white base that doesn't look ugly if exposed. It conforms to standard A60 bulb dimensions, meaning it fits perfectly into standard lamp shades and ceiling fixtures without sticking out awkwardly. It is also surprisingly lightweight (weighing in at around 70 grams), so it won't make your smaller desk lamps or floor lamps top-heavy—a common issue with older, bulkier smart bulbs. The light output itself is fantastic: it's plenty bright, the colours/temperatures are vibrant, and it dims beautifully without any harsh flickering.Value for MoneyThe value here is simply outstanding. You are getting premium smart lighting features at a fraction of the cost of higher-end competitors like Philips Hue, especially since these come in a convenient 2-pack.Pros:No Hub Required: Connects straight to your existing 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, saving you from buying extra equipment.Flawless App: The Tapo app is user-friendly and great for setting schedules or routines.Perfect Form Factor: Standard size and very lightweight; fits all standard fixtures easily.Great Value: Fantastic price-to-performance ratio for a 2-pack.Cons:Like all electronics, they do eventually die (though my first batch lasted a very long time before I needed this replacement).As they are Wi-Fi based, they require a stable internet connection to use the smart features (if your Wi-Fi drops, they just act as normal switches).Who is this for?If you are wondering, "Do I need to be a tech expert to use these?" or "Do I need to buy a smart hub?", the answer to both is no. If you want a reliable, cost-effective way to automate your home lighting, schedule your lamps while you are on holiday, or just turn off the lights from the comfort of your bed, I cannot recommend these enough.

I have a talktalk router which broadcasts 5ghz and 2.4ghz bands at the same time.I bought 5 of these bulbs, three of them connected via the Tapo App relatively easily, the other two I could not get to connect. It always went through to the pairing stage of the setup process and then failed.I tried turning off the 5ghz band on my talktalk router via the admin backend. But this didn't work. After multiple attempts including swapping the bulbs around, I gave up and was considering sending them back. However at the time I was also looking for better wifi coverage in my home so despite my experience and with some reservations I bought the TP-Link Deco X20 AX1800 Mesh wifi system on Prime day. This set up very easily and it gave me the ability through the Deco app to turn off the 5ghz wifi with a simple button, and then once that was done I managed to connect the last two Tapo bulbs easily. (they still wouldn't connect with the 5ghz band active even through the Deco routers).I find it a bit strange that every other device I have that uses the 2.4ghz network has had no problem connecting to my original router and yet these bulbs seem to have a problem, and also why some connected and some didn't, hence why I give this product a 4 star rating.Now they are connected I am very happy with the light they put out, the Tapo app is easy enough to use and allows you to set up different shortcuts to turn on/off the lights in the various colours etc as well as other useful options such as grouping them by room/name and automation options like turn off lights at midnight, turn on at sunset etc.I also like the way they integrate with alexa automatically getting detected and then voice control is possible as well as alexa suggesting routines that you might like to use.

I wanted light bulbs that connected to an app so that I didn't have to move to turn them on and off - I was bedbound at the time. I had the Tapo video doorbell, with which I was happy and for which I already had the app installed, so I bought the Tapo light bulbs.Connecting them was a little tricky - thankfully, I had a tall friend to help, as my phone needed to be very, very close to the bulb to connect.Over the course of a year, they have stayed constantly connected to my network with only one bulb needing to be reconnected following a 24-hour power outage, which was reassuring.Once linked, it was easy to turn them on and off via the app. The app has a large range of options for colour and brightness, and even provides preset themes. The timer and scheduling functions are handy, too. The app also shows how much energy each bulb uses. Honestly, though, I mostly use the app to switch the lights on and off.The bulbs have been in place for a year, and I'm happy with their performance. When they need replacing, I will be purchasing these Tapo light bulbs again.

I guess this has a dedicated white as well as colour LEDs inside as the light at 2500k is ideal for bedrooms and goes way dimmer than my old smart whites bought a decade ago. The colour variations might come in use but not sure when. Still a nice bonus. A reviewer said it was useless as you could only change colour without granularity. Not true, but you have to use the app to get the full spectrum from faded colours to intensly saturated ones.Setup compared to my old ones was a breeze and works well with nest. these have more controls such as random on-offs over time period and wattage consumed meter over days weeks etc, plus programmable colour/temp presets. The only thing my old ones do better is going down to candlelight warm at 1800k but I think I might be able to fake it by adding a touch of yellow/orange. Firmly recommended especially if you prioritise white light from warm to cold daylight.

Choose any color you want for your home. There are so many color options to choose from, and I’m very happy with it. The price may seem a little expensive, but it’s definitely worth the money.

This is nowy fifth Tapo device, and once you set up the first, all others take seconds to set up in the app.Alexa set up is immediate and works well.Google seems to be trickier and flakier, once set up with Google you need to go into Google home, select the d vice again, and then it is set up, not just when you add it to Google in the TAPO app.I cannot speak to the usage time as yet as I have only had my Tapo devices for a couple of months for the old st, however if I find any issues I will update this review.Tips if this is your first TAPO device:1: download the app first, before turning anything on, plugging anything in.2: Turn " location" on your phone on, the app asks like it is an option but the software cannot "pair" the device without location, don't ask me why, makes no sense to me either, I have already written to the developers to ask them to fix this but had no reply as yet.3: if you are adding to Alexa, simply follow the in app instructions.If you are adding to Google ( so you can say ok Google , Turn living room lights off) then follow the in app instructions, and then when set up is completed, go to the Google home app on your phone, and add the device there too, otherwise Google won't find it/ them.4: leave your wall switch on, because it's only function now is to power the device, the wall switch will not turn the lights on any more, use Alexa/ Google commands or the app on your phone. If you switch the wall switch off, Google/ Alexa and the app will not be able to turn the lights on.I have been reassured by the manufacturer that when Google/ Alexa or the app turn the lights off, they are no longer drawing power, so leaving the wall switch on will not cost you money if you told the light to be off.Update:One thing to note is that if you change your wifi, you need to add each device back again so have your wifi password memorized.A tip for people in older properties with different wiring looms...To reset your tapi device ces ( bulbs, light strips) you follow a little game of " off and on" in the app.That means s it plays a little animation of a bulb with the light on and the light off and you have to manually turn the light switch on and off 3 times for a soft reset or 5 times for a hard reset, in time with the animation.If your wiring looms is a tad older, you might find this doesn't work, and if you contact support they advise you to manually unscrew and screw in the bulb in time with the animation to ensure that when the animation says off, your bulb is disconnected and actually off, however...I found that you can forge tottering on a stepladder to faff about with the bulbs, simply by slowing everything down, turn the light on when it says, turn it off when it says but keep it off for 4 seconds, or two " off " animations, repeat twice more for a soft reset and works like a charm.Now I don't know why, but my father who is an engineer said something about the old wiring but then got technical and my brain turned off, but this method worked for me, I told support what arrived had done to solve the issue ( because the regular soft reset worked fine in parts of the house and I realised where it was working were areas where the electrical wiring looms had been changed, where it wasn't working are areas still on the old electrical) and I mention it here in case anyone else is having difficulty after a wifi change or their soft reset isn't working or their hard reset isn't working, my method might work for you and may be preferable to unscrewing and screwing back in all your bulbs.Hope that makes sense.

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.

NiquelFonctionne correctement super pratiqueEt rapide à installer

Very good lights come and work as described work the fastest and are most responsive with the Tapo app.

Reliable as always. Love Tapo products

Le lampadine hanno smesso di funzionare, dopo solo un mese di utilizzo

Before buying make sure you want the ones with the correct connection, these aren't normal screw on bulbs.
