CreeLighting Connected Max Smart Led 6 Inch Downlight Tunable White + Color Changing, 2.4 Ghz, Works with Alexa and Google Home, No Hub Required, Bluetooth + WiFi, 1Pk (Cmdl6-75W-Al-9Ack)

Easy to use with app. Very cool!

i was able to install the lights in my kitchen within 5 minutes. Very easy to install and setup using Cree app. The app allows me to group lights and each room can contain many groups.easy to use app and easily connected to google assistant.they are value for money

I just started using these, so these are just my initial impressions so far.Good:* Decent quality light with a bit of a pink cast.* Advertised as not dimmable with a wall dimmer, yet a Lutron "DVCL-153P-WH" sort of works. It dims OK with white light but flickers a bit at lower settings. Some of the color modes repeatedly turn on/off even with the dimmer at full. I don't care about those modes. It'll work in a pinch, YMMV.Bad:* Light isn't tone matched with my other Cree "dumb" A19 bulbs* Be prepared to bend the mounting clips with a couple pairs of pliers if you have 5" cans. They simply wouldn't fit otherwise.* Advertised "follow the sun" mode has limitations. I can't yet pin it to sunrise/sunset, I get an error message instead. It's also unclear if the lights are actually in that mode after making manual adjustments. I have to go a few levels deep in the app and toggle this mode off/on to ensure it's working. Cree/Tuya need to do some work to make this clearer.* Not bright enough to replace all my can lights. I wouldn't use these in a kitchen unless you have lots of cans there. Hopefully Cree will ship a ~1200lm variant in the near future.Tech info- subject to change:* These lights appear to be a rebranded Tuya product with perhaps only industrial design and LED chips from Cree. They use a Tuya WB3S-IPEX smart module and the app seems to be a Tuya Smart derivative.* Driver chips are from Bright Power and I can only find Chinese language datasheets. That makes me think Tuya rather than Cree designed the driver board as well.* There's 18 each of warm/cool LEDs and 5 each of R, G, and B. All are 2835 size.* Like most of these adjustable CCT fixtures, this lamp rapidly switches between full warm/full cool white LEDs. Mine switch at ~1.5 kHz which seems fast enough.* No PWM dimming, at least as far as I can tell with a camera. These lights keep the white LEDs fully on even when dim unlike competing products I've tried in the past. This eliminates the annoying high frequency strobe effect you get with some competing products. In fact, these are the first smart LED bulbs I've felt comfortable bringing into my home due to this.

Another reviewer had trouble connecting but on Android the app detected them all instantly. It synced to my wifi without any issues (it's not close to them) and the app has been suprisingly good. You can group them and control them together. It updated the firmware on them when they connected and it seems Cree is updating them pretty often which is a good sign to me.

I have used Cree Lighting products for years and have never been disappointed. I wanted to add smart downlights to my townhome and replaced my prior Cree Lighting downlights with their Connected Max. Took less than a minute to uninstall the old and install the new. Pairing with the app was simple and adding to Alexa groups just as simple. Completed the change in about 15 minutes for 4 downlights in my living room.

Just don't. Our new (to us) home has dozens of recessed lights and I bought one of these to compare to the Philips Wiz product (which unfortunately are present appears to be exclusive to a certain hardware store chain). I put one of each up in a room that has just two recessed lights.The Philips Wiz product does exactly what it says on the tin. It is a full color WiFi LED lamp that works exactly as expected with the Wiz app.This Cree product will turn on, and one can adjust the white light temperature with the Cree app. It can also be Red. Just bright Red. No blue, green, etc. Pick any color on the wheel and you get... Red.Of course I jiggled the handle. No amount of power cycling, resetting, deleting and re-adding made any difference. All I can get is Red.Cree has no troubleshooting tips online. No knowledge base. No user forum. No phone number. I sent an email - the only available support contact option. By the time I realized that they are never going to respond, the return window had closed.So just don't. No real trouble at all so far with Wiz, and I've started the larger deployment that I intended. Don't bother with Cree.

They integrate well with Alexa and all the options for different lighting scenes are fantastic. Set up and install was easy peasy
