We have just moved into the house, and wanted to update the lights in the kitchen and family room. We ordered 18 lights, to put in our family room and kitchen. Since we move furniture around and the lights cannot be aimed, we decided to put 12 in the family room, and 4 in the kitchen (in addition to the two drop down lights over the island), and one in the garage (really done, because we had two additional lights, and a wall switch to the garage that was not being used. And the lights are working great. We have not used all of the functions (played with them a little, but they are being used as basicaly lights). We have the 12 lights connected to one wall switch, the four kitchen lights connected to another wall switch, and the garage on its own wall switch. When we turn on all of the lights, it is BRIGHT.For the majority of the time, we have very few lights turned on in the family room, and we do use the light switch to turn them on and off. What is nice is that you can set each individual light for its "Power-on Behavior", which allows you to have the light come on to a default setting, the last setting, or a custom setting. We opted for the custom setting, in the kitchen we have two lights come on 50% and two remain off. For the family room, we have four come on at 25% and the remainder remain off (the remainder we use for reading, or something that requires additional light).We did play around a little with the colors, which are vibrant and clear and there is an option to sync them to music that we played a little with as well, and seems to work pretty smoothly.The app is easy to use, the devices easily connected to the network, and have yet to lose connectivity, even with the actual removing of all power each day, it also controls our electric fireplace, which was nice added touch. When I dig my Alexa out, I will get that configured and Home System configured, and will update the review.One thing to add - I did have to turn off my 5GHz temporarily to get the devices to connect, but that may be more of an issue since I was configuring 12 at the same time, but I have not had an issue with connectivity after the intial connection.

I studied carefully at all the options before pulling the trigger on these lights. My big questions when buying LED is are they bright enough and is the white option correct. These lights are perfect in both areas. Very bright and multiple Kelvin options for white, plus nearly infinite options for other colors. The installation instructions are somewhat limited, but they a breeze to put in. They connect directly to your 120v a/c circuit and can be wired in series. You will need a dedicated switch to be in the on position (you have to switch them on and off to put in program mode to activate.). If you don't have an available switch, you can always put a remote switch in the circuit for less than $20. I was so impressed, I bought another set. There is nothing special about buying different quantities, so if you anticipate the need, go for the quantity discount. Very user friendly app and easy interface with Alexa. Very nice product.

The media could not be loaded. I decided to replace the incandescent recessed lights with retrofits that fit into the cans. Unfortunately the light wasn’t very even and they didn’t dim smoothly or to a very low level. So I thought I would try the Cloudy Bay lights and boy am I glad I did! It was a bit of work to remove the old cans and wire in the Cloudy Bay lights, but they are so much better quality than the previous ones I had in there. They give a very nice even light and they dim very smoothly from 100% down to 26% with the dimmer I’m using. I also like the fact that inside each control box there are push to connect wire connectors already installed, which saves time and hassle during installation.

I purchased 20+ lights for my kitchen and halways. These lights look fine were easy to install and have a full range of colors. Controling the lights and changing colors with alexa was simple to set up and works well. The problem is the lights wont stay connected to wifi. When they lose connection they flash until you reconnect them with the app. The app doesn’t add the lights in parallel so you have to wait for each light to reconnect through the app. This can take forver for each light to the point the app times out and you restart the process. I’ve had 10+ lights lose connection and take over 15 min to reconnect. The disconnect issue has been sporadic not all the time, it generally happens for me when company is over so we look like lunatics in a siezure inducing strobe house until they’re reconnected.I would not buy these again. I wish i paid 4x as much for lights that just work.

I have bought two sets of these lights, installed 8 in my garage and plan to put the rest in my office. Easy to install, between the two sets the hardware that came with them was different and that is why this isn't 5 stars. The hardware was downgraded however the template provided to cut out the hole for the light was better? Overall I would recommend these to anyone

My whole house has these and work well. Its tedious to connect to the home automation, but once done, it works well. I had one go bad a few months later but the customer service sent me a replacement! That was great. So i got more for the rest of the house too.
