Swapping four bulbs in your house for the Kasa Smart Light Bulbs gives you voice-controlled, color-changing lighting in every room without adding a hub to your setup. This four-pack uses standard A19 bulbs with E26 bases, each capable of producing 16 million colors along with a tunable white range from warm 2500K to cool 6500K. They connect directly to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, and both Alexa and Google Home can control them right away. Each bulb pulls just 9 watts while putting out 800 lumens, which is equivalent to a traditional 60-watt incandescent.
Easily controllable smart bulbs that you can put throughout your home
The Kasa Smart app handles all setup for the lightbulbs, and you can control them from your phone. Getting started is easy, as the app walks you through connecting each bulb to Wi-Fi step by step. Once they’re on the network, you can dim any bulb, change its color, or turn it on and off from anywhere using the app on iOS or Android. A grouping feature lets you bundle multiple bulbs together, which is a useful option if you want to control all the lighting in a room with just one tap.
The smart bulbs feature Auto White mode, which adjusts the color temperature automatically. As the day goes on, the bulbs’ hue shifts to match natural light patterns. You can also build custom schedules and timers so your lights turn on before you get home or shut off at a set time each night. You also get a sunrise offset option lets you wake up to gradually brightening light rather than a sudden switch. Finally, you can create multiple scenes with different brightness and color settings saved for quick access.
Using voice commands through Alexa or Google Home gives you hands-free control over brightness, color, and power. If you’re trying to watch your electric bill or you’re environmentally conscious, the Kasa app also offers energy monitoring that tracks each bulb’s power consumption in real time. At 9 watts per bulb, they draw far less electricity than incandescent lights, and they’re UL-certified for safety.
Setup requires no additional hardware beyond the bulbs themselves and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Screw a bulb into any standard E26 socket, open the Kasa app, and follow the prompts to connect it. When you pick up this four-pack of Kasa Smart Light Bulbs for $25, the per-bulb cost drops to $6.25. That’s a respectable drop from the $35 list price, and a great deal if you want to step into the world of smart lighting or expand your current setup.
