Philips Hue Smart Retrofit Recessed 5/6 Inch LED Downlight 4 Pack, White and Color Ambiance Color-Changing Light, 1100LM, Control with Hue App, Works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit

I like these lights. I have 8 of them divide into a group of 6 and a group of two in my basement. You can control them with a regular light switch, but they work better with the remotes (sold separately) and work best with the app. It should be noted that if you use them with a traditional switch, you can only turn them on and off and the light’s temperature will not be saved. You have no other control of the lights features. The app unlocks all of the lights features. The remote turns the lights on and off and can dim them. The lights were installed on my unfinished ceiling using cans. There was no need to use drywall. They secured right in the cans. They were very easy to install and also add to add and group in the app. The app allows you to group the light, adjust their temperature, color and brightness and even use preset moods. I like them. They are very modern and give you a lot of control options. I used them in a new install on an unfinished ceiling, but I am sure that they can be used in remodels as well. I am very happy with these lights.

I recently installed the Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance 6" Downlight in my living room, and I am beyond impressed. The setup was super easy, especially with the compatibility for Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and Google Assistant. I had it up and running within minutes! The brightness is fantastic—these lights provide plenty of light and can easily be dimmed or set to a wide range of colors. Whether you're looking for bright white light or vibrant colors for ambiance, these downlights deliver. The color range is vivid, and the dimming feature works flawlessly, offering complete control over the lighting. The integration with my smart home system is seamless, and controlling the lights with voice commands or through the app is incredibly convenient. I also love the high lumen output, which ensures the room is well-lit even when dimmed. Overall, the Philips Hue 6" Downlight is an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their smart home with reliable, bright, and customizable lighting. Highly recommend! Pros: Easy setup and installation Bright and customizable colors Seamless smart home integration (Alexa, HomeKit, Google Assistant) Dimmable for any setting Cons: None so far

If you want a mix of smart function, vibrant color, and serious brightness, this 4-pack is a solid investment for a modern, connected home.

these last forever, they look spectacular in the ceiling and they’re so easy to install. I made the mistake of first buying all the bulbs and putting them in the high hats. It didn’t look right it was a large waste of money and these are a fraction of the price and you get the whole frame in the bold built in and it looks phenomenal. Definitely highly recommend these.

Installed these in our kitchen as part of a slight refresh to the space. These can get very bright but also dim down very low. It offers tons of color options and works well with the hue app on an iPhone. It also works seamlessly with voice commands and the hue switch that I installed. Installation is also pretty easy. The only negative is that these can be pretty expensive. I bought (5) of them for the space we had and was glad I got them on sale.

I have probably 50+ smart devices in my home and started the journey way back when they all first came out. After SO MANY other competitors and options I bit the bullet and went with this. They are MUCH more stable than anything I have used. Not a single disconnect or issue after several power losses to the home. They are bright, the color is spot on, and it works seamlessly with Alexa, Smartthings, and the app on the phone. I've replaced nearly every recessed light in my home and found the fit to be MUCH more snug (the spring-loaded options on other lights hang out of the hole slightly and just don't look as good). The color range is much wider on these as well. They are absolutely more expensive than some other brands, but they are also worth the investment to make your life easier. Trust me. I cant recommend these enough!

These were an easy install, they tend to disconnect from the hue app at times, but I’ve connected it to Alexa, which I use to turn them on and off. I had four canned lights on my kitchen ceiling and they all blared so bright and had only one switch so changing to these bulbs I’m able to handle them each individually and not have such blaring can lights… These Hue lights looks much more modern and clean, they offer multiple colors selections & lighting ‘themes’. I need 2 more!! Only bought 2 bc they were pretty expensive for my budget. Saving for 2 more.

My builder wired up my home theatre by putting all the overhead lights on one circuit. ( it was supposed to be every two lights on their own switch). I did not want to try and rewire everything so I thought I would try these. I only wanted white but colored lights were on sale and cheaper. These work fantastic. Easy to install. I also purchased the hub unit. These paired up easily and it is very nice to be able to control the lights from my phone. The choice of preprogrammed lighting combinations are fascinating. These lights and hub are easy to update the software. I have never lost connection. You can easily program your own set ups.
