Easy installation, setup and works with Alexa
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes, there are cheaper DIY Automation lights on the market. But how long will that company be here. If you've been following DIY Automation for the last few years you've seen a few companies come and go. Philips has been around awhile and they know lighting. The HUE line has been a lot of fun. With different scenes, being able to control just one light bulb on a switch that has multiple bulbs is great. Use a couple motion sensor coupled with different bulbs for nightlights. This way they're only on when they need to be at a brightness that I want. This style was purchased for use in a bathroom that I converted one of the 4 can lights on a single switch to use as a ceiling fan and would need to be on all the time. Solution: 1. Already had the hub 2. Three Hue retro fits 3. A Hue remote switch Install, program and several dollars cheaper than an electrician to run new wiring for the fan. 4. Create routines with Alexa 5. Happy wife Also have some colored bulbs, highly recommend getting some

Great recess light replacement
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The recess light in my kitchen is really high up and directly above my kitchen island making it difficult to get to. It's easily 15ft high and I'm able to get to it with my ladder but it feels like a cirque du soleil act each time I have to get up there to change the light. I also would limit how much I would have the non-LED light on because I didn't want to burn it out. The fix to this is this Hue White Ambience LED Downlight. I no longer have to worry about it burning out cause it lasts over 20,000 hours and now I have a smart light where the previous recess light once was. I don't have to risk my life to change it and I also have a smart light up there. Definitely a win-win buy for me.

Excellent smart lights
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These smart lights are fantastic for multiple reasons. First, you can choose individual lights to turn on and off or dim. Next, you can turn lights on and off from anywhere or set a schedule which is convenient if you are away on vacation. The lights also work with our google assistant, so we can just tell our assistant what to do with the lights. Finally, you can change the color of the light to match other lighting in your house. We installed these lights throughout our entire house a year ago and are very happy with them.

Great Lights and Modes, occasionally buggy app
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased 6 of these downlights for my basement remodel. They are easy to install into any recessed light housing and the build quality is very high. Adding them to my hue app was simple, although two of them required me to manually enter the serial number in order to add. The best feature of these lights is the ability to change the color temperature of the light. This is great in the basement where sometimes I want more of a daylight white when I'm working on something and other times require a softer white. I enjoy being able to set up scenes, such as turning off the lights over the TV in order to reduce glare or bringing all of the lights down low when I'm watching a movie. My only complaint on these lights is occasionally the hue app can be a little buggy, and the lights either get out of sync on color temperature or forget what they were set to when being power cycled.

easy to install, nice white light
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These lights were easy to install and they look very nice flush against the ceiling. The color is a nice cool soft white which is so much easier on the eyes than a bright white. I had recessed flood lights before, over my couch, so it was uncomfortable to sit below them with the glare. These Philips Hue are much more comfortable and as money allows, I will replace the rest of my recessed lights with the these. They are not cheap that won't be easy. I think I paid $69 for the two.

great lights
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a big fan of these lights. A couple of things i've noticed: 1) Default settings aren't that bright. I freaked out at first. Use the pre set setting of 'Energized' as this will give you the bright setting you are looking for. 2) When installing them, open up the 3 clips as wide as possible and then make sure when you twist them into the cans, that they are tight. I had one that i didn't do tight enough and ended up coming loose and falling out. My bad and i've learnt since.

Good but expensive
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchase four of these Downlights to replace 4 regular Dimmable LED Downlights in my living room. Primary reason for the switch was to have them work with Alexa, and be able to incorporate into my smart home routines. Setup and installation was fast and easy. Now I have voice control and routines set up to turn on when I enter my house after sunset. Yes they are dimmable, but I don’t understand the claim of 50,000 shades of white. Who can actually differentiate 50,000 shades of white? Anyway begin hue lights they are fully compatible with Alexa and SmartThings and I am satisfied with my purchase. Four Stars only since they are kind of expensive.

Q: QuestionI currently have cam lights installed. An electrician was trying to get me to buy the LED lights that will fit and snap right where the cans use to be. Are these the same kind of lights as he was referring to and how can I tell?
Asked by Roque.
- A:Answer These are also LED lights, but much more expensive. With the Phillips lights you can control them by voice if you have the “hub” that’s WiFi connection. And an echo or Alexa. Ask any of the kids at Best Buy and they will tell you a lot. With regular LED lights you can get them to work by voice command but you need the special plugs that connect to WiFi. Good luck...it’s kind of complicated, but I’m 71 and I figured it out...lol PS I’m not sure how you tell the difference. We bought our Phillip Lights at Best Buy.

Q: QuestionCan these be installed outdoors in a soffit? Looking for a way to have app controllable soffit lighting. If not this , will take suggestions. Thanks
Asked by Someguy.
- A:Answer As long as you have a can housing in your soffit these will fit. The light needs the “walls” of the can to hold on to. That said, while many (almost all) others have stated that it was easy for them to pop the lights into the can, I had issues doing so - I fact I had to make a special fixture for putting them into my cans (kitchen ceiling) - I wouldn’t recommend that anyone to go through the pains that I went through in doing so - but I really wanted to have these lights so I made the fixtures. The issue probably was with my cans, not the lights. Another option for you is to replace you current switch with a smart switch and keep your current lights. The switch can be app controlled. In fact this is a better and much cheaper option in my opinion to get the same results. Hope this helps.

Q: QuestionI'm planning on installing 8 of these lights in our family room. Will I be able to turn off some lights, but leave others on? Or do all of the lights need to be turned on/off or dimmed consistently across all of the lights.
Asked by Bones.
- A:Answer Yes. With the Phillips app you can control them individually. I would recommend buying the br 30 lights instead though.

Answered by Mitch
Q: QuestionAre these retrofits brighter than regular Hue BR30 bulbs? Is their only benefit their more modern flush look?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer These are WAY brighter than Hue. I was very disappointed when I purchased my first smart lights (Hue). I can't stand to have the TP-LINK bulbs at 100% (too bright for me) but it's nice to have when you need it.
