Sengled Smart Bulb
Score: 72/100
Kasa Smart LED Light Strip
Score: 73/100Rankings
The Kasa KL400L5 is a 16.4-ft Wi-Fi RGBIC light strip offering high brightness and 16 million colors with app and voice control. Its reliance on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and lack of physical controls limit flexibility. Ideal for indoor ambient lighting where custom colors are desired.
The Sengled Bluetooth Mesh Smart Bulb offers 800 lumens at 8.7 W with Alexa-only voice control and mesh-based Bluetooth coverage for whole-home dimming. It is limited to the Alexa ecosystem and lacks Energy Star certification, restricting broader smart-home integration. Best suited for Alexa-centric households wanting hub-free Bluetooth control.

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 occasional Bluetooth range inconsistencies when mesh repeaters are insufficient.
