Customer Reviews for Commercial Electric Hubspace LED 4 in Round Smart RBG + Tuneable White Canless Recessed Light for Kitchen Bath Living rooms, White

Easy to install, simple design, easy linking into their app. Integrates with Homekit via external efforts (not out of the box, you'll need to setup HomeBridge).

These lights are below builder grade. Installed in my home instead of a name brand like Phillips and almost half of them have already stopped working! I now have to buy all new lights not even 4 months later and hire an electrician again!

Cutting holes - a pain. Installing lights - easy. In Sure wire connectors - bonus. Adding and naming each light in the Hubspace app was straightforward; just scan each QR code. Linked to Alexa. Now I can have fun creating groups and routines (see image for Christmas Kitchen routine which also plays a Christmas playlist). Being able to change colors and brightness is a winner. There are colors that help with waking up and relaxing. Looking for other places to install these!!

I bought this to install in the place where I removed an ugly chandelier. Once I took that out I saw the 2x4 running down the middle of the hole. Contractor said this light won't work - there isn't enough clearance. As a woman, I needed to prove him wrong. I measured, needed .6 inch clearance, removed the existing plastic junction box and the rest was just basic wiring in the light's own junction box. Not an electrician, but can use a ladder, screwdriver and wire cutters. Great product and size

Easy to install. Added to all bedrooms in our house.

Awesome product

Modern can lights with adaptable hues. Looks very sleek.

I love these lights. I use the Hubspace app to set up the rooms and Alexa to control them. Just think about how to name the lights individually because Alexa will get confused if you don't speak clearly. Example- bedroom lights is too long so just shorten it to bedroom, just make sure your Roomba isn't in the same room according to Alexa or it'll start cleaning when you turn on the bedroom, so be mindful of that. The but is make sure your wiring is not overloaded. the lights time out they're so sensitive and I had 3 blow out (the boxes) in 5 months and u can't get the J box separate, I have to get a whole new light or take it back. My HD store is cool about that. The colour ranges, what more can you ask? Purple bathroom lighting while taking a bubble bath? Yes please. These lights dim but you gotta set it to like 1% to get that incandescent type of dimming or set a routine where some lights are off and some are dim to get the effect you want, a lot of tweaking but set it and forget it. Plan your layout properly. these lights aren't floods so the standing wave phenomenon is real if you put them too close together or too far apart. Study the guide. other than that, I wish they made gimbal type full coloured lights. I'm happy with them. sorry for the long winded review

I bought 10 of these whenever refinished my basement. I love them. I don’t use the colors terribly often, but they do get used occasionally and it definitely adds something to whatever is going on.

Wanted a replacement light for our hallway that would look more modern. Also though it would be helpful if that light could be turned on and off as well as be dimmed during certain parts of the day or night. Since the hall had an existing light attached to a 4 inch box, that box had to be removed, fortunately it was attached to the drywall and not attached to the rafters. Once the box was removed I had to enlarge the hole which involved cutting both through the drywall and a plywood backer that re-enforced the j-box. The template resulted in a perfectly sized hole and all that was left to do was to attach the metal box, which included easy connects so no wire nuts were needed. Place the metal box and wiring into the hole and the light clips into the hole very easily. As for connecting the light to Wi-Fi, that part I had a bit more difficulty with, but that’s because I misplaced the card with the QR code. I tried to connect it manually, but the instructions did not warn you to make sure your Bluetooth is on and you are on your routers 2.4GHz channel. I pulled the light back out of the ceiling (which was easy) and scanned the QR code. Once I changed over to the 2.4 GHz channel it connected easily. I also configure it with Alexa and was pleasantly surprised that you can voice command, on/off, dim percentage, AND basic colors with Alexa. You can also use Alexa routines to change colors and dim, and ramp brightness up and down. From the app you can select any custom color. Since this light is outside our kids bedrooms I have it set to go to 100% about an hour before bedtime, and then after bed time it ramps from 100% to 15% over 30 minutes and then stays at 15% all night. About an hour before they wakeup it ramps from 15% to 100% over 30 minutes. After their morning routine is done it goes to 25% for the rest of the day. Overall I’m quite happy with this light, it looks great. Is plenty bright in white mode in any of the temperature colors (Goes from very warm to very cool white light). And the RGB colors are just a fun bonus for my kids.

So we got this light because our hallway only had one light by our feet, we could never see in our hall closets. We loved the idea of a smart light, and we needed an ultra slim light, as our A/C vent runs down the hallway, so there is no space for lights, I wasn't even sure if this would fit... BUT IT DID!! I am so happy to finally be able to see down my hallway, and in my closets!! Really easy to install. Has push in connections for ease of wiring. Has so many cool features, different light colors, blue, aqua, red, yellow, etc. Which is just fun! The only reason I am deducting a star, is because the HubSpace app keeps saying it is not online, which is frustrating for a smart light. I still love the light, I would like the app to work better. Once the kinks in the app are worked out, it will be upgraded to 5 stars.

If you're looking for a 4" diameter downlight that can be installed w./o your typical can in the ceiling, this might be something to consider. You can use this light w/o the smart features simply by connecting it to a circuit controlled by a light switch. When it's not used in the smart mode, the color temperature of the light defaults to 3000K, and you cannot use the dimming features even with a dimmer switch. As a smart light, you can remotely control the features with Alexa or Google Assistant or with the Hubspace app on your smartphone. You can wire any number of these together on the same circuit (each unit requires 9-watts of power). You can select either red, blue, or green instead of white. WIth white, you can select 2200K to 6500K. The lights are fully dimmable too with the app or with the voice control. To utilize the features on your smartphone, you must download the free app, Hubspace and go from there. Do save the card(s) with the QR code to simplify connections to a smartphone. Each light fixture is uniquely identified in order to allow for individual programming. The light fixtures do not require a ceiling can. They come complete with a junction box that includes quick-connect lead for your feed, neutral, and ground. The lights are good for damp areas and also fine with contact with insulation in the ceilings. Follow electrical code requirements when it comes to using proper couplings in the knockouts on the junction box. You do not want to have wires going in and out of the junction box w/o their being secured in a coupling that fits the knockouts.

I have converted nearly 100 percent of my lighting to LEDs. One of the last non-LED holdouts was a recessed fixture in a shower. The main reasons we chose this fixture were it had to be safe for wet use and also a simple to do retrofit of the existing fixture. To be honest, this light is probably overkill for my use, but I also liked the idea of a dimmable and multi-color light. The dimmable is important because it’s a small shower and all 800 lumens is plenty of light. So far, I think it’s going to be a great unit.

I got this light fixture to add some additional light in my dark den. This unit is fully controllable with Alexa or Hey Google. Works with the Hubspace app and connects through your Wifi connection. It is fully dimmable and the color output can be adjusted between Daylight and Warm like a conventional light bulb. It only takes up 4 inches of space and doesn't require a can or any other mount. I just cut a hole in the ceiling drywall and the spring loaded clips hold it tight. It can also be used as a regular light but it defaults to 3000K light color. But I prefer the smart operation with voice control. Very Cool Light Fixture.

I ordered this light for several reasons. Our new to us house has 14 older incandescent “can” lights that we wish to upgrade to LED’s. I’ve used this type of fixture in our old house and installing them is a piece of cake. The ability to adjust the color temperature is a real plus for me (have you ever installed a new LED fixture only to discover that the color (i. e. bright white or a bluish tint) of the light just doesn’t work for the space? I pretty much like a warm - 2700K to 3000K - tone for most indoor situations and this Commercial Electric LED Smart Tunable Recessed Kit Light is adjustable to that color range. Lastly my wife has recently decided that voice activated “smart” control is the way to go and this Hubspace App light will allow her that capability. As soon as we finish unpacking I’m installing this for a test run.

This recessed light is fantastic! It fits anywhere and can go anywhere--damp rated, IC (Insulation Contact) rated, airtight, and super-thin. It’s controllable via app and/or voice control with Alexa and Google, will work without a switch, and can be scheduled to come on automatically. Additionally, if the power does go out, the light will stay at the setting it was on before the outage--if the light was off, then when the power comes back on the light will still be off. The thin form-factor is great. We did a hallway that has a relatively low ceiling height because of a main trunk line for the HVAC ductwork--one big long metal tube goes down the hallway to service all the bedrooms and bathrooms. Previously, we had to use wall sconces, but they intrude into the sight lines, making a confined space feel even smaller. Now, with Commercial Electric’s LED recessed lights, the sconces are gone and the hallway is lit up nicely, completely dimmable and can be whichever color(s) suits the mood. Awesome! I saw lots of questions asking if the light needs a switch, so I wired it up to a cord, plugged it in, and had full-functionality right away. A switch is not needed. This could be really helpful for outbuildings; hard-wire the light, set it to yellow as a nod to old-school bug lights, right up under a soffit, and then it’s easy to look across the yard or field and know if power is on or off to the building, meaning whatever needs to be running for livestock or new chicks is doing fine, or needs attention right away. Great lights, nice color, flexible installation locations and excellent smart features. This is a winner!

I was wracking my brain so stressed out trying to get these things to connect to the wifi. It's mid April 2021 and I was trying to set them up using a Galaxy S 21 Ultra. Problem was, the newer phones default to your 5Ghz Wi-Fi connection. Think of it like the light is trying to trace your phone's path to the internet. But it's too basic to use 5Ghz so you have to do the initial setup with a tablet or phone that defaults to the 2.4Ghz connection. Lucky for me I had an old S8+ in the drawer. Downloaded the app to that and setup was a breeze. Automatically started working on all other devices including my new phone and Google homes.

So far so good. I have several others throughout inside and outside of my house and many of them have not had any trouble whatsoever. Some just lost the ability to change colors effectively and some stopped responding to Bluetooth or WiFi. They have now changed the box and some components from what I can tell and the new ones haven’t had any trouble at all yet.

Had one of the light go bad in about two years. Was difficult getting help from Home Depot or the manufacturer. Still havnt been able to get the lights to connect to Alexa. Also even though under warranty I’ve had difficulty getting Home Depot to replace it. Primarily due to the phone customer service who transfer and ultimately disconnect you and don’t call back.

They do their wrong thing they turn on and off when they want. Color synchronization out of order

We love these lights in our home. Our kids love our dance parties.

Easy to set up. Lots of features. Easy to control.

Easy to install and sync using my phone and home wifi. I'm able to control the multitude of colors and themes easily.

They turn on for about 10 seconds and then turn off. Returning.

Really enjoy the new Saratoga Springs Home Depot. Great people to work with. Franky in Pro department is awesome to get help from.
