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.
