    Easy to install - you can do it yourself if you are moderately competent with DIY type stuff. Brightness is perfect, dimmable and they have special effects like “candle effect”. Modern look.

    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.

    Can’t go wrong with Hue

    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.

    I bought the Hues recessed lighting so I can control the lights with my smartphone and also have the ability to change the lights to different colors and also program the lights to different sceneries and to turn on and off at certain times! I love the fact that I am able to add up to 50 lights to the Hues hub. Very convenient!

    Was really looking forward to using these in above our counter, to integrate with our Hue setup. But unfortunately they did not fit in the ceiling due to plumbing. Had to return, but at least I got a full refund. I would be quite happy if Hue decided to make canless recessed lighting!

    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 are pretty good, as is most Hue stuff. I wish these had spring clips so you could install just the light. You need to be a 4" retro-fit housing to make this work, if you don't have that already. I painted mine with spray paint to make bronze and it turned out good.

    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.
