Key Details
Outfitting a Whole Home at Minimum Cost
A typical two-bedroom apartment has 8 to 12 light sockets across all rooms. At Kasa 2-pack pricing, outfitting the full apartment costs 4 to 6 purchases. At DAYBETTER 6-pack pricing, it takes 2 purchases. The total cost difference is significant.
The risk in going with a budget 6-pack for a whole-home conversion is firmware longevity. Smart bulbs depend on cloud services and app updates to function with voice assistants. A brand that discontinues its cloud service or stops updating its app effectively bricks the smart features even if the bulb physically works. Kasa's longevity as a TP-Link product line makes that risk very low. DAYBETTER's risk is harder to assess.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lowest per-bulb cost in this guide at 6-pack pricing
- 6 bulbs covers multiple rooms in one purchase
- Alexa and Google Home compatible out of the box
Cons
- DAYBETTER is a newer brand with less review longevity than Kasa
- Higher upfront cost for 6 bulbs at once
Bottom Line
Consider the DAYBETTER 6-Pack if you want to outfit multiple rooms at the lowest possible per-bulb cost. For single rooms or for buyers who prioritize proven reliability, Kasa is the better choice.
