TapoTapo L510E Smart Bulb, Smart WiFi LED Light, E27, Works with Amazon Alexa(Echo and Echo Dot), Google Home, Dimmable Soft Warm White, No Hub Required [Energy Class F]

This is such a great bulb. My partner has MS and is bedridden. With this, connected to Alexa, she can now decide when she wants the light on or off without relying on one of us to turn it on or off for her. It's dimming functionality is easy to use with simple instructions to Alexa. This bulb doesn't have any colours, just white. It has good functionality and is excellent value for money. The durability seems good. It hardly ever disconnects, I think it has only done so once and it was easy to reconnect through my phone.

Excellent item. Works seamlessly with the app & Alexa. Great price.

This was listed as model L510B on the box but only L510 listed in Tapo app. Nonetheless it set up easy enough. Dimable but not colour changes although Alexa app shows this but there won't be any effect if you change it.It doesn't flash fast in pairing like other makes, just thre flashes.You can't complain for the price. You do have to accept colour it comes in but warm white is pleasant enough.

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.

this is a great bulb to easily connect to alexa, and control via alexa on the phone or the elexa device via voice or even the tapo app itself. its a good light and has the full 100% lighting range meaning you can set it to 1% or 4% or 100% any every number inbetween. i cannot fault it at all. great light. the app they have for the light is also very useful. showing you exactly how much energy you have used (it doesnt use a lot) and if youre going away and your house is empty you can set it to turn it on randomly throughout the day which is great for those who want to do that

Bought this when I came home from hospital. I found my big light was giving me headaches, and getting out of bed to turn it on and off when poorly was unpleasant. I can turn my lamp off from my phone in bed, and adjust the brightness. It’s a game changer, so easy to set up. Would really recommend!

Works well with our Alexa, cozy colour,suites our living room

The smart bulb cannot pairing with the phone.
