what's up YouTube uh this is my review
0:02
of the uh Phillips Hue Smart LED
0:06
downlight um
0:08
retrofit kit and um off the bat I'm just
0:12
going to show you how when I installed
0:16
this um I have it's an older
0:21
can that doesn't have trim that's
0:24
removable it's all one unit and when I
0:27
got this it was installed these are
0:30
installed in this hole and I was just
0:34
about to take it back CU I didn't read
0:36
the directions I looked at it and I said
0:39
ah I think you could just put it there
0:42
and uh so I took it out that hole put it
0:45
in that hole and what do you know it
0:47
fits and it fits
0:49
beautifully um covers it up
0:53
nice and now I have a beautiful down
0:56
light for this room that I recently um
1:00
refreshed it's my downstairs uh basement
1:04
office um tried to make it as bright as
1:10
possible um and so with that I wanted
1:13
this downl because the big feature it
1:16
has is the C circadia
1:19
Rhythm
1:21
um feature that it will just adjust as
1:25
the day goes from from morning to night
1:29
it it will change the color temperature
1:31
to match what the sun is doing outside
1:35
and um it works really
1:38
nice um the only downside would be that
1:41
when you turn the switch on and off it
1:45
takes a couple seconds to connect to
1:48
WiFi and then change to that circadia
1:52
Rhythm mode that you set in the app um
1:55
it's not a big deal but um I just tend
1:59
to leave this on all the time now anyway
2:02
since I can control it by voice and I
2:06
have it an automation set to just keep
2:08
it on as a nightlight at night and uh
2:12
it's working great but as you can see
2:13
you see how it matches like outside the
2:15
window the color temperature and it will
2:19
change um you know at night it goes into
2:21
that more incandescent bulb uh looking
2:24
temperature which is really nice and um
2:27
I don't have to worry about it um um so
2:31
thumbs up for me I really uh I'm happy I
2:35
got this it completed my little space
2:38
here give you a wide view it's nothing
2:40
crazy it's an old um finished basement
2:45
and had the wood paneling and I painted
2:47
it
2:48
and tried to make it nice and nicy got
2:51
some
2:52
plants anyway cheers
