Score: 76/100Rankings
The Kasa KL110 is a Wi-Fi-enabled, dimmable warm-white bulb delivering 800 lumens with high CRI and Energy Star efficiency. Its brightness is modest and the base can become hot, limiting use in task-oriented spaces. Best suited for ambient lighting in living rooms or bedrooms where warm ambience is desired.
The Sengled B11-N11 offers 800 lumens at 8.7 W, Bluetooth Mesh connectivity, and a 25,000-hour lifespan, delivering Alexa-controlled dimming without a hub. Its exclusive Alexa support and indoor-only design restrict broader smart-home integration. Perfect for Alexa-centric households needing reliable mesh coverage.

Professional reviewers praise the KL110 for its warm, soothing hue and its energy-efficient 10-watt draw, noting that it integrates well with major voice assistants. However, they caution that the 800-lumens output is modest, which can limit its usefulness for task-oriented lighting or larger rooms.
Everyday users appreciate the straightforward setup, reliable Wi-Fi connection, and smooth dimming via the Kasa app. Recurring complaints focus on the bulb's hot metal base and the perception that its brightness is insufficient for reading or detailed tasks.

Professional reviewers praise the Sengled B11-N11 for its hub-free Bluetooth Mesh that delivers whole-home coverage without taxing Wi-Fi networks, its high CRI 90 and 800-lumens output for vibrant soft-white light, and its effortless Alexa discovery process. However, they criticize its exclusive reliance on Alexa, the absence of Energy Star certification, and its indoor-only design, which limit its appeal to broader smart-home ecosystems and outdoor use cases.
Everyday users generally commend the bulb's easy Alexa integration, reliable mesh range, bright yet warm illumination, and long lifespan. Recurring concerns revolve around the Alexa-only limitation, lack of Energy Star certification, and the indoor-only restriction, with some noting occasional Bluetooth range inconsistencies when mesh repeaters are insufficient.
