Should be fine although they do get a bit warm. Nothing close to incandescent bulb heat levels, though. If it's an issue, they can be dimmed via app to reduce heat generation I suppose.
I have about 18-20 of these in my home including in enclosed lamps and landscaping line voltage bollards. Some in use for years. Zero issues. 26 other Kasa switches, plugs and other items...RIP wifi router 😂
Yeah, it's the Price Intelligence tool at the top of this page on the desktop version of SD that says these was $15 a few days back. Looks like these bulbs were posted as part of a previous deal on various Kasa items and it's pulling the $15 price that was for something else. Kinda like those Amazon pages where they combine a bunch of different products on one page and the reviews get confusing.

Can anyone comment on how these bulbs differ from similar ones from Wyze or Govee? There are so many of these things now from different manufacturers, it's ultimately a good thing, but I'm not sure what sets one brand apart from another.
Honestly they're probably all made in the same Chinese factories. It's down to the branding and the software each manufacturer puts on them to make them work with their ecosystem.
Do yourself a favor and pass on the slightly cheaper like-new amazon warehouse versions. They're like-new alright, GE led dumb bulbs got swapped out by some scam artist returner. Returns QA doesn't appear to be looking them over very hard, granted they looked legit and packed very well until I pulled one out and saw GE logo on the side, expletive _ expletive...
Big fan of the Kasa ecosystem and Google integration...........but was sad to find these bulbs just would not function in any units that are on a dimmer electrical switch - they always lose signal and just sit there and flash. If I put the bulb in a non-dimmer switch, they work perfectly. Of course, I wouldn't have put in dimmer switches at the time if I had known I could do dimming at the bulb but alas here we are. Just FYI.

Did you plug them in with the dimmer switch fully on? I've had an issue like that an fixed it by leaving the dimmer switch fully on.

Yeah I had the dimmer fully set to MAX and still just wouldn't function. Probably depends on the model of dimmer you have and the default power output (we have Lutron Toggler TGCL-153PH).
When I got these last time it was written on to not use in enclosed luminaries, I think because they get really hot. Does anyone know if it's safe to use them because almost all my room have those closed ball shaped fixtures.
You're asking if it's safe to run these bulbs in an enclosure, which the manufacturer has clearly stated is not safe. The well-meaning Ghost person who suggested you simply dim them to lower the temperature hasn't thought it through. Sounds neat and helpful, but let me shed a little light on how that could play out:
1) If the bulb melts, just dim it. -but it melted, and it won't work, and it stinks, and you can't get it out, and the fixture is ruined. Hopefully, you could replace the fixture without ripping up your ceiling, because many fixtures require bulb removal to get to the mounts through the fixture.
2) If it catches fire, hopefully nobody dies or is hurt, but if they are, sorry for your loss. Just dim the ones that aren't destroyed in the fire, and keep on keepin' on.
3) There are different kinds of dimming mechanisms. Some produce MORE heat while dimming the light output, because those types use a constant amount of electricity, but turn the energy that is diverted from light output into more heat. The dimmers that actually decrease power consumption tend to be more expensive. Anyone know which kind is used in these bulbs? The scenario here is: nothing bad has happened so far, and you've started using them in enclosures despite explicit direction from the manufacturer not to do so. Do you feel lucky?
Can anyone confirm if you can make the colors warm Xmas colors (dark green and red)? From the color palette shown, it doesn't seem like the green would be any good, and red wouldn't be that good either. I just want to put one on my porch light and have it rotate between red and green .... also ... can it rotate between colors every 10-20 seconds or so? I can't tell from the user guide .... Thanks for any insight!
Currently have these. I wanted these for outside lights. They're not bright enough IMO. Only 800 lumens. Found some Eco-Smart ones at Home Depot that are 1600 lumens. They were $12 each. Granted they are more expensive per bulb, there 2x as bright and do the same functions as the Kasa's. Have 5 of them set to a schedule with the Hubspace app and have worked flawlessly for those interested.

60W equivelant LEDs at 800 lumens never really feel like true 60 watt bulbs. LED bulbs need to be 1000 lumens minimum, IMO.

Agreed. I am surprised a company as big as TP Link has not come out with brighter bulbs. I hated to venture into another eco system/app but I have dawn to dusk lights and didn't want them staying on all night and needed 100 watt equivalent, I set a schedule with the Eco Smart ones and they did the job.

I'd prefer 1200 lumens, but that's not happening.
