What makes TP-LINK lamps really smart?
All four types are connected to wi-fi. It is enough to screw the device into a regular chandelier or floor lamp. LED lamps do not heat up, which means that they are absolutely safe for the child (the risk of getting burned is zero).
Thanks to Kasa, you can adjust brightness, control heat settings, change color (LB130 only). The latter function will be in demand at some themed party or holiday. You can make the room glow a pleasant blue. Or green, red. In short, millions of possible shades and colors.
The "smartness" of the lamps lies in the circadian mode mentioned above. It allows you to create an unusual "understanding lamp" effect, which burns in one color in the morning, another in the afternoon, and in a third at nightfall. Throw in some intuitive and useful things like turning off / on a lamp, monitoring energy consumption and you have a really cool device for your home. The cost of an entry-level LB 100 light bulb is about 2100 rubles (900 hryvnia).
