Regular viewers will know I have @PhilipsHueofficial products around all of my home.. however the bathroom still had the 'dumb' LED light that came with the house. It's fine, and does the job, however - it's REALLY bright - so a late night toilet trip is sure to wake you up!
Philips Hue have had bathroom down-lights for a while now, but I wanted something to directly replace the existing fitting..

I love that light! Great having, not only a dimned light at night, but a non blue light. I had no idea about that.

Thanks so much for this video. Just ordered one of these instead of the non waterproof one for my office as it was cheaper and bigger which I preferred. Btw just a suggestion for when you were screwing in, get yourself an electric screw driver. I bought Bosch one a few years ago for a large piece of furniture thinking I’d never use it again…I use it that much that I don’t put it in my shed with my other tools. Would have got them ceiling screws in within seconds!

Ahhh awesome! I've got an electric screwdriver - I just don't really use it, I tend to like the 'feedback' through a 'manual' one :)

Thanks for the video! May I ask what mm screws you used? I read that 6 and 8 mm fall through the holes. Thanks!

@kiphakes 11 ай бұрын

Have updated the video description with the fixings and screws I used. The 3 x metals washers in with it stop it falling through.

Hi there do you have an extractor fun - can you configure this to work with the hue

@kiphakes 10 ай бұрын

I’m working on a video for exactly this

@drew8135 Жыл бұрын

Cool. How do you set it up so the extractor fan comes on when needed?

@kiphakes Жыл бұрын

That has its own switch.. so we put it on when needed.. will be looking at a way of making that a bit smarter in future!

Hello , Can I control this light with the dimmer ,without having the hue bridge ? Thank you!! Alexander

@kiphakes 11 ай бұрын

No.. you could use it via Bluetooth, but the dimmers aren’t Bluetooth compatible, they need the bridge

Would have been quicker to just use the wago connectors to connect the light to the line and neutral instead of bothering with the supplied screw in terminals
