Smart Wi-Fi Lamps from TP-Link

Few people know that the concept of a smart home was born thanks to programmable light bulbs. It was later that “smart” sockets, air conditioners, refrigerators and even kettles appeared.

TP-Link Smart Lamps

TP-Link has pleased with four models of smart bulbs at once: LB100, LB110, LB120, LB130. A little bit below we’ll get into what they differ, what functions make them really smart. For now – general information about TP-Link lamps.

To connect the lamps to the Wi-Fi network and further control them, you need to download a special program Kasa. It is possible to remotely control the devices.

What makes TP-LINK bulbs really smart?

All four types connect to wi-fi. It is enough to screw the device into an ordinary chandelier or floor lamp. LED-lamps do not heat up, which means they are absolutely safe for children (the risk of burns is zero).

TP-Link wi-fi lamps

Thanks to the Kasa program, you can adjust the brightness, control the heat settings, change the color (only LB130). The last function will be in demand at some themed party or holiday. You can make the room burn a nice blue color. Or green, red. In short, millions of possible shades and colors.

“Smartness” of lamps lies in the aforementioned circadian mode. It allows you to create an unusual effect of “understanding lamp”, which in the morning burns one color, during the day another, and with the onset of darkness – the third. Add to this such intuitive and useful things as turning the lamp off/on, monitoring energy consumption – and you get a really cool device for the home. The cost of the entry-level LB 100 bulb is about 2100 rubles (900 UAH).
