@@oddittydotco I have philips hue. They released there color downlights 5/6in not to long ago. Im trying to find an install guide for US electrical standards. Yours is good but its not the same kit I got.
I can't find these anywhere. I've seen the retrofit kits to use with recessed lights with cans, but none of these clip ones. I guess they don't sell them in the US.
Do you have to install each light one by one adding them to the hue bridge as you go or can you install all the downlights in one go before adding them to the hue bridge?
I am actually planning to put this in my new house but wonder if the lumen is sufficient? I guess the lumen is 600 but the normal led downlight is around 800-900lm. Also wonder if you have tried using Siri to turn the lights on and off? Thanks :)
Good question as it's been a topics that's been on my mind. I guess brightness is a personal preference but for me, if I could make my top request for product improvement I would definitely say please make the standard globes (screw in) brighter, they are too dark in my opinion for a ceiling light in a room (even with two installed in one light). As far as the downlights, they are just on the edge of acceptable level for me (I have two in the study room and 3 in a smallish kitchen), I would definitely like them brighter but I love lots of light so I may not be the best judge. As far as Siri, yes I am using them daily with Siri, it's a great feature! I bought the lights mainly because of this ability. I have had a couple small hiccups with the setup/operation (probably because I am still learning how to use it correctly) but overall it's been great! The actually quality of the light fittings/globes and the quality of light they emit is fantastic, I love sitting in a room that have these lights on in them!
ISO project, yes great idea 🙌! Mine are all 90mm, I love the light quality that they give off. I'm itching to get a few more light strips, they just give a nice background vibe tot the home ... once you start it gets a bit addictive 😅. Are you doing other lights as well or just downlights? I have a few videos of the other Hue lights I've installed, if you're interested in how they look etc just have a look under my video list.

@@meenakshi.singh25 Hi Meenakshi, did you get my second email (reply to your one)? I am getting yours but you don't seem to be getting mine, could they be going to the junk folder perhaps 😰?
Do you have Philips Hue lights?
No I like LIFX

@@oddittydotco I have philips hue. They released there color downlights 5/6in not to long ago. Im trying to find an install guide for US electrical standards. Yours is good but its not the same kit I got.
Yes I think they are different in the US.
Great video. Very clear instructions :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, thanks! Thinking of installing these. Have lamps and a light strip already. Loving it.
They are a bit addictive aren't they 😅!
Great informative video, thank you :)
🙏
I can't find these anywhere. I've seen the retrofit kits to use with recessed lights with cans, but none of these clip ones. I guess they don't sell them in the US.
I also had trouble finding them in the US, maybe they only make this model for some countries 🤔.
Do you need to pair it before fitting it into your ceiling?
No I did it once installed.
Hello, how do you resolve an unreachable down light? I have 4 down lights in my living room that indicate unreachable. Thank you so much.
I’ve had ‘unreachable’ before when I’ve accidentally turned the original light switch to off position ... could this be the problem?
Good evening, do you mind sharing ye exact camera model number and lens for this video you’ve created? 🙂🙂🙂
Canon EOS R + Sigma EF 24mm f/1.4
Do you have to install each light one by one adding them to the hue bridge as you go or can you install all the downlights in one go before adding them to the hue bridge?
I installed a few of them in one go and it was fine.
@@oddittydotco ok great. Thank you :)

Hi
How close to natural light? Is it very comfortable?
I really like the quality of the light coming from these, they give a very nice ambiance, you can adjust kelvin to give impression of daylight.
Can this lights changes colers eg- red pink
This one can only do different shades of white (from yellowish white to bluish white) but other ones in the Hue range can change to many colours.
ISO project. Love it. What diameter did you buy? 90mm or 125mm? I'm pimping our place out as well, game changer.
