    I upgraded existing wall wash down lights that were just 25 watt with these and it brightened up the room dramatically. We aware that you might not be able to remove these easily once they are installed.

    Philips hue Is the best. These lights are solid. Even work without internet. Set them up correctly and they just work. Philips is always making updates too. Firmware updates to change behavior of bulbs when they lose power. We lost power during the night a while back and when it was restored they used to all come on….now they return to their previous state as I have selected so we don’t wake to a house with all the lights coming on. More expensive that others brands but you get what you pay for. This is a fantastic product.

    We change the color of the lights via automations from a bright white to warm white dependant on the time of day. Makes the rooms feel so much better at night and brighter during the day.

    I bought this to replace my slightly older LED lights, and it works exactly as described. Seamless integration with Alexa and my existing Hue setup. One caution- these do not play nicely with dimmer switches.

    These lights are nice and bright and I like the flexibility of changing from warm white to white color lighting. The Hues dimmer switch works perfectly with these lights!

    Have a single switch in a room that has a recessed light and a fan with a light. Both are powered by one switch, so if the switch was off to turn the light off it turned off the fan. This fixed that perfectly

    I love the fact you can use different settings for the different situations in my kitchen. I love that i can talk to SIRI and turn on and off my lights.

    It seems like a nice light except i wasnt able to install it. It does not have the necessary "antenna" spring peices that are inserted into the old can light housing. I was a bit disappointed since i didnt open it for a couple months and I couldnt return it.
