Philips Hue Canless Thin Downlight Review: Smart Pancake Lights!

These are the newest Hue "Canless" lights. They work without a can or junction box in the ceiling, all you need is a 6.1" opening.
The Hue Canless lights are a great option if you want all of your lights to be individually controllable with both color and brightness controls, but they are pretty expensive. I think most users would be fine with a smart dimmer, but these are really cool!

Great video! I didn’t notice. Did you install multiple lights? If so, was there room for multiple hots and neutrals on each connector box?

@user-he2mp7vz8y 4 ай бұрын

will they connect to music through Spotify? if so can you do a video on that? debating buying 4 lights for the basement, and a flood light for the shed

Can you use these outdoors, installed in the soffit?

Hey thanks for the video. Is there a way to configure the lights during install where you can only turn on the Philips Hue light when it is in the ceiling with other non-smart lights or do you have to turn on all of them? Asking because I would love to only put in one Hue light and not replace all of them but use the different colors/dimming of just the Hue light without turning on all the lights. Thanks!

They would all need power on them at the same time, so you could turn the hue one off with the app, but as soon as you flip the switch, you couldn't control it any more

Great Video, What was your Spacing for the lights?

@adamtalkstech 4 ай бұрын

About 3-4 feet, that's just where the slots already were. I swapped some Halo lights out for these.

@@adamtalkstech That's good to know! What is the spacing from your walls to the closest light?

@professorxav 3 ай бұрын

I bought 36 Govee 6 inch lights and I am having all types of issues. I'm returning and ordering these hopefully they work fine.

By nec code It never allow to not support the driver or junction box but everyone just push in the holes.

@bigrobh72 Ай бұрын

Do you think the hue junction box would fit in the blue plastic junction boxes that are installed within the attic?

Depends how big it is, but if its 1 gang, definitely no.

I've had poor longevity results with the driver boxes of similar-formfactor LED lights in my Thailand condo. They weren't RGB and weren't branded Phillips, but the body and orange clips look identical (who knows really which company is manufacturing what, now-days). Seems I have to replace them once per year.

@adamtalkstech 4 ай бұрын

Yeah I had some cheap ones from Amazon and these are not the same at all. The halo ones have orange clips too and worked well for me for 3 years now but the cheap knockoffs started dying about 6 months later

I miss lamps, overhead lighting is harsh.

@chrislukowski1825 Ай бұрын

@adamtalkstech This is something else I'm wondering about. Do you feel these bulbs are in any way harsh or uncomfortable if positioned directly overhead or a few inches in front of seating position?
