TP-Link Kasa Smart LED Strip Lights Multicolor WiFi Light Strip KL430 1

كل شي فيه ممتاز

I love LED accent lighting and was excited to see Kasa come out with these. I already have over a dozen other Kasa products - mostly smart light bulbs and a couple smart light switches. PROS: - For me, smart controls with Google devices works well. This is the main reason I paid a big premium for this type of light strip and it was the most important thing for me - Kasa app is easy and intuitive to use - Very easy to install - peel and place, plug and play - Extensions are also very easy to add. You just plug them in to the end of a 6.6' strip , turn the strip off and on, and the extension acts like an extension (same color, patterns look good, etc.) - Great brightness range - Great color range, including cool and warm whites as well as many, many vivid colors CONS - Depending on your application, these can get really expensive really fast. Used as accent lighting running the inside perimeter of two 6-foot tall bookcases cost over $300 with tax. And I paid for them with my own money, these were NOT given to me in exchange for a review - Once you cut a strip, the rest of it is trash. For each of my bookcases, I had to cut the last ~16" of lights off to fit, meaning I threw away about $25 worth of extensions - Strips are not very flexible - you'll probably need to run them in a straight line. There are no angle adapters available that I know of that would allow a 90 degree turn Boiled down, the pros are the lights perform really well and give you something I don't think I could easily get from cheaper lights - the ability to control on/off, color, and brightness with my voice. But the cons areyou need to have the right application to pull these off. They are expensive, but the price compares pretty favorably to most of the other smart strip lights out there and you don't need a hub or anything else at all (other than electricity and a smart device to set them up) to run these lights. I have had pretty good luck with Google controls. The first couple days, connection was a little spotty. But it quickly improved and even if one command did not work (e.g. turn on light), I could use another command (e.g. set light to 20%) and then the strip would respond to everything. Now, it seems to work well and its very rare that I have to do anything special to control the bookshelf lights, which are part of a group with other Kasa lights. If you're like me, this is the main reason you're buying these lights. You buy the product in a 6.6' foot stretch and can add extensions (sold separately in 3.3' increments). You can't just buy an extension, the extensions only work with the full 6.6' strip. So if you are trying to light a 3' section, you'll have to buy the 6.6' strip and basically cut it in half and throw the cut section away. This is annoying because the strips are clearly made in 1.65' sections and either connected by thin wires or a bulky (0.18" thick) connector. I wouldn't mind so much if you could install the strips with a turn (like make a 90 degree angle), but you can't really do that. Now for the good stuff. The strips are very sturdy. Even though you can tell they are mated about every foot and a half or so, they are encapsulated in a soft clear gel-like plastic. The back has a high quality 3M tape strip. I never once had an issue with the tape not sticking, though I was working on a clean surface. Once installed and turned on, the lights are just what I wanted. Because my lights wrap around the inside of bookshelves (Ikea Hemnes shelves), I get a LOT of light. They very easily light up the shelves and I use them all the time at different brightness for different moods. The patterns are fun but I don't use them often. Kasa promises to allow custom patterns at some point. I love that you can adjust the white color from warm white to cool white and there are tons of fun colors. I included a few pictures of the brightness taken late at night when it was dark out. I have the two bookshelves, each one with one 6.6' light strip and 3 extensions (though the last extension is cut in half to fit cleanly). My camera sort of auto-adjusted the brightness but I think you can tell they are very bright. At 100% brightness, they virtually light up my (relatively small) living room. My bookshelves unintentionally have a light rail that helps hide the LED strip so I don't see the strip itself unless I'm looking at the bookshelves from the side. At less than 0.5" wide, they do a good job of lighting things up without sticking out. The product description leaves a lot to be desired. More dimensions... the cord from the power outlet to the light strip controller is 22" long, the cord from the controller to the light strip is 6'10" and 1/8" in diameter. The thickness of the light strip is 0.18" at block-like connections on the strip, but only 0.11" thick at the LEDs. So if you're trying to run in a bookcase along the sides of shelves, the strip was thin enough for me to fit it between the side wall and the shelf keeping the LEDs hidden. The width of the strip is 0.48". Overall verdict, if you're into accent lighting and willing to spend a premium for a slick and stable mobile app and the ability to control everything with your voice, these are awesome lights. Over time, I hope these strips will become more flexible, adapters will be provided to turn the strip On the other hand, if you don't ever want to change the color or brightness of the lights, just turn them on/off with your voice, you'd probably save some money by getting a smart electrical plug (Kasa and others make them) and using a normal, significantly cheaper LED light strip (though professional installation, if needed, would cut into those savings).

Legit, the only issues I have are the adhesion and the lack of a circadian mode (auto-white). Everything else is awesome! For the adhesion, I had to use Gorilla Glue which is a PAIN with the length of these. But everything else more than makes up for it. Easy to install, LOVE the special effects and customization of them, and they are very eye catching. KASA is my go-to for anything Nest doesn't offer, such as lighting. And they do it super well! The lights are almost too bright depending on the tone/color and room, but you can easily dim them accordingly and set presets and scenes to tell Alexa or Google to switch to. The price is a bit daunting, but it is WORTH IT. These things last a long time!

This is my third set of strip lights for my kitchen and BY FAR the best. I already have a bunch of Kasa smart plugs so I was so excited to see this product available. It’s not too far off from other smart light sets and the setup is so much easier and the connections are so much stronger. The options in the app are great for colors and animations, and I am thrilled that these have “true white” options so they look really great in my kitchen with the other lighting. The ONLY THING that Kasa needs to get on ASAP in my opinion is have a corner connector that one can buy. I had to do a really weird bend in mine to make it work around the corner and I really hope it doesn’t affect the integrity of the strip. I have no outlet on the other side of the corner so it wouldn’t even be possible to run a second strip. Overall though, based on the easiest setup, solid connections, light and color options in the app, and integration with other Kasa products, this product is excellent.
