LIFX SuperColor 5-6" Smart Downlight Retrofit, 800 Lumens, CRI 90, Compatible with Alexa, Apple Homekit, SmartThings, Fits existing 5-6” Recessed Can Lights, LXDL6CUS

I chose Lifx because it has the most accurate colors, in contrast to Hue (in 2024), which I used previously, and doesn't require a hub. My home automation is based on Apple Homekit, and this syncs up nicely with that. The previous owner used Control-4, and I strongly recommend against any specialized home OS because you will pay a fortune every time you upgrade your system, and you will be upgrading over time. These lights are also compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home, if that is your preference. After > 1 year, all lights work well with no dead lights, unlike my experience with Hue bulbs. Price is more than those generic Chinese-made lights, but the color is more accurate. As cost is always an issue and since we standardized all lights to 3500K (we wanted a neutral colored white light), all main rooms have Lifx lights, and the hallways and basement have a Chinese-made downlights. These Lifx lights have an accurate, neutral light; the Chinese downlights have a slight red tinge to them, which isn't noticeable unless you have the two lights next to each other. You also see it reflected in the paint colors, especially if you have a greige color. I don't regret going for this mixed approach as it was a good compromise between quality and cost.

Amazing!! I have 2 of the downlights in my kitchen. Now both offices have these bulbs to match. Slowly going to knock out the rest of the entire house bexause these things are absolutely phenomenal. You can switch from any hue/temp white from a low res flickering candlelight, to a full blast blue tinted spotlight. They dance to music, have themes, easy color changing, set to timers, they dance and have all the settings your could possibly imagine. I like to set mine to forests & oceans most of time. Paired with all my plants, and the woods directly behind my home, I get lost in meditation now as you can really make your home into a dark foresty environment in less than 5 seconds! Like I said, I’m doing the entire home now, including some seeet LeD spiral bulbs for the lamps and such (they all connect and talk through Bluetooth!

Perfect drop in upgrade that easily plugs in. I have it running daily, for many hours. The expected lighting quality, durability, and performance from LIFX in a unique form factor. Functions as intended and met all expectations. No flickering.

Ok, alright, we have a bunch of LIFX lights in the house. The family swears by them. Over the yrs. I sound more like my Dad & Grandfather. I'm not the electric company, turn off the lights !!! LED lights help a lot in a 2700 Sq ft. 2-story home. The old hot incandescent light bulbs were cheap, but didn't last. LED lights are more $$ to buy up front BUT are cool to the touch, and cost PENNIES @ day to run !! And LIFX you can change the colors too ! But this model is a tad different, It's not for when you are like remodeling your home and you cut new holes in the ceiling and run new wire & you want a new ceiling "puck light" up in there. This is more pre-exciting ceiling can lights. The old can is still used you just take out the "guts" Which are pretty simple to do and I'm not an electrician at all.... And the new LIFX comes with everything you need, to plug & play some wires that lead to an end piece that looks just like the end of a regular size "E-26" light bulb that you would put in a table lamp. Screw it in the socket insert the spring clamps up in the "old can light housing" and push up on the "ceiling puck light" !!

I got a bunch of these for my home and they are super fun. In the kitchen right off the living room, in the hallway, and in another area in my home. I like having the color temperature fade, and having a funky "weekend mode" triggered by motion during Friday and Saturday evenings to create a vibe. These long with Alexa routines along with time-based and motion-based triggers makes my home feel "alive" and the right vibe is alway set. I recommend.

I bought 8 of these to put into my kitchen along with switches for a recent kitchen remodel. Really liked the fact that they have switches that can control smart lights. I am a technical person and I have had smart lights for over 10 years. I could not get this system even set up. I think I got 3 of them to connect eventually but then they would not show up or be uncontrollable. I wasted a whole evening on this. Surprised that in 2024 these lights are so awful. Needless to say I returned. Maybe good for one light or two as a feature but no way would I recommend putting this in your home in any meaningful way. Hue lights are what I have in some rooms and those connect and are able to be used. These LIFX just did not work at least for me.

They flickered terribly in my house. I installed them correctly. I’ve had LIFX products for eight years probably I’ve purchased thousands of dollars and these lights but these are by far the worst ones I’ve bought. They look awesome when they work, but the flickering makes it a migraine machine. They’re extremely cheap for the money. I would say only because they suck. Not all of them are like this only some of them. I have a total of 11 in my house and three of them flicker really badly.

This was a huge improvement after our contractor installed old school 6" cans instead of more modern looking 4" cans. The LIFX product installed easily and the app is much improved.
