Kasa Smart Lights come ready to party or give your home a vintage, classic glow

Do LED lights leave you cold? TP-Link introduced three new Kasa Smart lights that can illuminate your home with individual vintage hue bulbs or add drama and excitement with infinite color multi-zone light strips.

“We are excited to bring the latest lighting innovations to the Kasa Smart lineup, helping to turn every home into a smart home,” said David Li, CEO of TP-Link Research America. “Our amazing new Vintage LED Filament Bulbs are a modern classic, while our new Light Strips let you easily customize any room with endless lighting effects and colors.”

All three new Kasa Smart lighting products work without a hub and respond to voice commands with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also use Kasa’s mobile app to turn the lights on and off, set up lighting schedules, and monitor energy usage.

Kasa Smart’s KL50 Kasa Vintage soft white LED filament bulb resembles an incandescent light bulb. The KL50 combines retro design and a familiar soft white glow with smart bulb control. Available now, the Kasa Smart KL50 Vintage soft white LED filament bulb lists for $17.

KL430 Kasa Smart Multicolor Light Strip

If you like to design with lighting colors, Kasa Smart’s KL430 2-meter multicolor light strip is ready to party or brighten your day. You can decorate spaces with pretty much any combination of lighting effects or colors you can think of. Each KL430 strip has 16 individually controllable color zones ready to party down with ten pre-set animated lighting effects. According to a TP-Link representative, a customization feature software update for the Kasa mobile app due in early 2020 will allow users to set up their own effects. You can add optional multiple Kasa Smart KL430E meter-long extensions to the Multicolor Light Strip using 4-pronged connectors on the ends of the strip to a total of 33 feet, roughly 10 meters.

Tesla Powerwall is the best solar, home backup, and EV charging companion
Tesla Powerwall 3 installed on outside of home

Solar power, and having solar panels on your home, is a fantastic way to conserve energy and cut down on power bills, especially if you live somewhere sunny like Florida or California. There's just one glaring issue. When the grid goes down you still lose power because of how it's connected. Your solar panels cannot generate enough energy or keep it stored to keep your power on. So, essentially, your power setup doesn't offer much benefit there, unless you get a home power backup system. More specifically, something like a Tesla Powerwall is a compact home battery that stores energy generated from the grid. That energy is then used as a backup when traditional grid power is unavailable.

To make it even more clear, with a Tesla Powerwall, the power stays on even during a major blackout or outage. It's whole-home backup, too, which means you can power your lights, appliances, electronics, you name it. If you've ever had to throw away an entire refrigerator's worth of spoiled food because of a multi-day outage -- like I have -- you'll certainly appreciate the option to keep your appliances running. But that's not all it can do. The Tesla Powerwall is an excellent companion for Tesla EV owners, creating an entire smart ecosystem of power. Let's explore.
