Philips Hue Smart Recessed 4 Inch LED Downlight – White and Color Ambiance Color-Changing Light – 6 Pack – 850LM – Indoor – Control with Hue App – Works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Homekit

Excellent and Easy to Install
I’ve used a variety of Philips hue products over the years but held off on these for fear they’d been hard to install. That fear was misplaced, they could not have been simpler to put in.The Bluetooth functionality works well and the lights cover a huge range of colors. Great value on the multipack too.

Great replacement lights
If you have 4″ cans (most people I know have 6, so double check), these are perfect drop in replacement lights. The color is great, they dim well, and they were easy to install.For a long time I did not like Hue lights because I didn’t want to control my lights from my phone, I wanted to use a switch. Nowadays you can get zigbee switches that can be paired to these lights to control the lights (on/off, dim) as well as smart control with your app. When you have it setup this way it’s very family friendly.Hue lights have become one of my new go to lights, and while they are not the cheapest, they are some of the best lights out there.

Poorly designed retro-fit lights from Philips.
These are absolute garbage retrofit can lights, specifically the 4” model. I’m sure the internals of the Philips Hue lighting components are just as good as other Hue products, but as a retrofit can light, these are bad. In traditional retrofit kits, the feet or claws have a bit of springy push back on them, allowing you to press one foot to release it and provide some space on the opposing side to do the same. However, with the 4” retrofit lights, the feet are very rigid and bite into the can housing, making them very difficult to remove without causing some sort of damage to the light and more importantly to the surrounding drywall. Additionally, the baffle lip trim is very thin; if you have any sort of texturing on your walls, the baffle lips won’t lay flush.If you have architectural cutouts or areas where you need 4” recessed lighting, you’re better off buying a nice 4” baffle trim piece that suits your needs and screwing in a Philips Hue A19 bulb. Stay away from this 4” kit from Philips.

Good
The fit is perfect, but the fasteners have loosened once already. The adjustable brightness and colors are great. Overall I give it 5 stars for performance and appearance. But the app is clumsy, and it really wants you to buy the hub. Also, unlike my Cync bulbs, if I turn the switch off and back on, it resets. I added it to my Alexa devices to overcome that, but I would have rather used the wall switch.

Recién cambié 20 luminarias en casa de este modelo, y me encantaron! Son modernas y a la vez, se adaptan a cualquier estilo de decoración.La instalación fue algo tediosa y compleja, porque traen soportes que no se adaptan fácilmente a los orificios de los techos de las casas de México, sin embargo se pueden instalar con mucha paciencia.La luminosidad es muy buena ya que tiene los suficientes lúmenes para aportar brillo e intensidad a la habitación.Producto de la familia Hue totalmente recomendado.

I take away one star because they “snap” or “crackle” or “pop” when they heat up (turn on) or cool down (turn of). These lights are …almost… perfect. The “spread/angle” of the light is very good.Maybe not the best choice for a bedroom with the “popping” and such.

One was discounted… shipped separately (pictured). This one had an open box when it arrived… the box of 3 ‘NEW’ – 2 had been opened previously, there’s drywall dust anll over and one had cut wires…. And I paid full price??????? Ridiculous
