Philips Hue White Ambiance Dimmable LED Smart Retrofit Recessed Downlight (4-Inch Compatible with Amazon Alexa Apple HomeKit and Google Assistant)

We love these and added them throughout our house when we had to redo the ceilings. Because they are flat, they bled in every room wonderfully and provide the perfect amount of light.

Very easy to install and look great. They put off a great deal of light and with the hue app you can get the type of white light you want, dim, set timers, use motion sensors, and all the things the other hue bulbs do. I wish they made the color lights in this style. The lights are great but the hue app can be buggy at times. They work great with Alexa and the hue dimmer switch and motion detector.

It's a HUE. It's pricey, but if you have the bridge and whole HUE light system, you will most likely get this. As a light, it's not the easiest to install, but it's totally possible just by googling some how-to's. Value for money is not great, since Phillips does charge premium for it's name. If you looking for cheaper solutions they are out there, do some research. However, I enjoy using Phillips and I have no problem paying extra for guaranteed quality. Brightness is not the brightest out there, but this is recessed light. You can adjust brightness and color through the app, and the app itself is why I use HUE.

If you are using these lights with just Alexa and/or the hue app you will love them! A lot of cool features and settings. But if you’re using the hue hub/bridge to connect to your online meethue Account you might be really frustrated and let down. I was never able to connect my online account and that was with 2 days of troubleshooting. But the lights themselves definitely happy with!!

We bought 9 of these lights, and several of them worked fine, but most did not. Once inserted into the can, they could not be removed without destroying the can, and they also did not connect correctly to the network. They appeared to be counterfeit as they were not identical to the ones that worked. Unfortunately, we had to delay installation for so long that we could not return the defective lights. We were able to drill into the sides of some of the cans to press the clips down enough to allow removal. We then bent the clips into a configuration that would allow them to be inserted and removed from the can multiple times between initial testing and drywall finishing and painting. We were using these on new construction, not as a retrofit, which was fortunate. Anyone using them as a retrofit might find themselves having to tear the can out of the ceiling to remove the light if one were to fail.

I have replaced all of the recessed lights in my home with the Philips Hue Recessed Downlight. Paired with the hub, this system works flawlessly and is easy to connect. I added lights over a period of a few weeks and everything added and completed successfully. The App is simple to use and the lights work in unison when changing brightness and color.

Easily synced to the Alexa and a nice addition to my home. I have them placed in my hallway and 6 in my kitchen. Adjustable, dimmable, and just a nice clean look when installed properly.

They work, however, they don't work like you'd expect a recessed light to work. It needs a smart wall switch, which doesn't exist. The deal is, you can't dim from a switch. You must dim from the app. Not great. But okay, say you are willing to do things from the app. If someone turns the wall switch off, they're not going to work until the switch is turned back on. When someone leave a room and wants to turn off the lights, they're going to hit the switch, not pull out the app. They do sell a remote switch for managing them but it's a battery operated remote, not a switch. So, the same switch issue. If you have a dimmer switch for dimming the lights, that won't work either. The app needs to be used to dim. All they need to do is make a switch that replaces your wall switch that dims, allows you to use the app or alexa, etc if you're not near the switch and be done. Halo has a similar solution and they created special switches that replace your existing switches for this very reason. My opinion, they should have handled this very common scenario before offering a light that replaces your recessed lights.
