TALOYA Smart Ceiling Light Flush Mount LED WiFi,Compatible with Alexa Google Home,Dimmable Low Profile Ambient Light Fixture for Bedroom Living Room Hallway Kitchen Nursery,12 Inch,RGB

I had a similar, larger light in my music room that suddenly simply didn't want to work with the app anymore. I could delete it, re-add it to smartlife, and control it once or twice then it would be offline again. So time to replace it.This one had a decent price, and more importantly, didn't require some annoying little third party app that would only be used for this one item. I've got nearly 150 devices on my home network, and only get things that are compatible with Smartlife, Kasa, or VeSync.What made me even happier was that this one used the same mounting base the other one did, so I simply unscrewed that old one, disconnected the wires, connected them to this, and screwed it in. About 60 seconds of work.Smartlife saw it instantly, got it connected and renamed, and once again I have a reliable smart device I can voice control regularly.Gives enough light for the area, and I like the color bar on the top for when I just want indirect mood lighting.

I cannot say enough great things about these smart lights! I replaced four outdated fixtures that looked like they were from the 80s with these, and the difference is night and day—both aesthetically and functionally. My entire family loves them, and they’ve completely modernized the look and feel of our home.Smart Home Integration & AutomationOne of the best aspects of these lights is their smart compatibility. While they are Alexa-compatible right out of the box, I wanted full automation through Home Assistant, and I was able to integrate them seamlessly using the Tuya integration. If you’re into smart home automation, these lights offer endless possibilities.For those in the Apple ecosystem, there is a HomeKit version being sold for double the price. However, with a bit of research and some tweaks, you can integrate these into HomeKit without paying the premium price—which is a huge win!Installation & WiringAnother standout feature is the easy installation. These do not require a neutral wire, making them perfect for older homes that might not have one. The setup was incredibly straightforward, and I had all four installed in no time. If you’re hesitant about replacing light fixtures, don’t be—these are user-friendly and designed for hassle-free installation.Final ThoughtsOverall, these lights are an amazing upgrade at an affordable price. Whether you're into smart home automation or just want a sleek, modern fixture, these are a fantastic choice. The versatility, ease of installation, and smart capabilities make them a no-brainer. If you’re on the fence, go for it—you won’t regret it!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended!

The media could not be loaded. Please read this initial review and the updates after it.Just received this light yesterday and installed it this morning. Installation was as fast as could be expected; I was able to use the existing bracket and holes from my old ceiling lamp.Connecting to the app and to Alexa was very straightforward. Note that the wall switch has to be on so the light gets power for Alexa to work to turn it back on. What is very nice is that the light remembers previous settings, so once I adjusted the color temperature and then used Alexa or the app to dim it, turning it off and on with the lights switch on the wall maintains the last settings.The colors are fun though a bit over-the-top for typical daily use, but what is nice is that you can adjust the color intensity, so I was able to find a nice Amber color to use for nightlight settings.---Updating my review after a few weeks. I still like the light a lot, but two things about it make me less thrilled with it than before:1. It is quite bright even at lowest setting. I have been able to use the light at the top (the color light) at low saturation as a night light, but I wish the main light could be dimmed more.2. The scheduling feature in the app only lets you set times to turn the light off and on. Turning it on will turn it on to the last setting on the light. I WISH THERE WERE A WAY TO SCHEDULE A TIME AND A SETTING. For example, at 6 turn it on to 50%, at 11 set it to 25%, at 2 set it to red.

I bought the two pack to replace some very dated lights in a very dark windowless hallway. I don't think this hallway has ever seen so much light! They're definitely bright! I had 2 fixtures with 2 60watt equivalent bulbs in each and one of these lights at 75% puts out more light than all 4 bulbs did previously. With both, I'm running it at ~20% and its brighter but in the same range as before.The instructions included make the connection and setup a breeze. I got things linked to my Amazon alexa and Google home accounts in short order and you can even sync them with each other so changes to one change all of them at the same time. The smart home app is nice for the customizable nature but the integration with Google home passes most of the features on while alexa only gives you a few color options.Lastly, wiring this up: do yourself a favor and get some wago lever nuts instead of trying to use the included wire nuts. If your home wiring is like mine, you probably have 14ga solid core romex and there was barely enough room in the included wire nuts for that wire alone. wrapping the stranded wire from this light and making a good connection likely isn't feasible. You could probably make it work but it's likely to be a poor connection (you shouldn't be able to pull the joined wires apart after putting on the nut) Unless you have some extra appropriately sized wire nuts, grab a pack of wago lever nuts and make your life easier.
