After the success of the plug, I tried the Tapo L530B bulb. It’s features include:
- Multicolor – Easily design scenarios for your daily routine or activities by customizing brightness, light temperature, and colors–with millions of hues to choose from.
- 60-watt equivalent – LED bulb produces up to 806 lumens of white brightness and has a dimming range from 1% to 100%.
- Preset for Convenience – Found your favorite lighting for watching movies? Save it as a setting you can simply select for future movie nights.
- Schedule & Timer –Create schedules and count plans to turn on/off with the brightness/color you set.
- Sunrise and Sunset Modes – Automatically activate your light according to your time zone.
- No Hub Required – Connect the L530B light to your home wifi, then you are all set.
- Remote Control – Take your phone out of your pocket and open the Tapo app to control your light remotely.
- Away Mode – Automatically simulate someone being at home to frighten away unwanted visitors.
- Restore Last Light State– the bulb automatically returns to its previous power-off state.
The main purpose for this is being the light behind my head when using the computer. Too dull and the room is too dark. Too bright and you get reflections off the monitor. A light with a dimmer should do the trick.
Installation was not as easily as the plug. Had to try several times before realizing I was missing a vital step. The colours are new and weird, but it does what is required. Now I just need more of them.
