Is my bulb obsolete?

I have just move into a new home with a TP-Link bulb. I am struggling to work out what model it is but tied to connect it with the Tapo app anyway, I was unsuccessful.

Does anyone know how to work out the model number ?

WiFi connection reads: TP-LINK_SmartBulb_121F

or is this a waste of time, is the bulb too old ?

thanks!

@FrankBr

Did you check the device information printed on the bulb, where the model number is normally printed?

Is it a RGB multicolor light bulb, dimmable (white) light bulb, RGB spotlight, or white spotlight? Click here to get all the models of TP-Link Tapo light bulbs.

If this is an older unit, it's most likely one of our best-selling models Tapo L510 (dimmable) or Tapo L530 (Multicolor)!
