Installing and Reviewing Philips WiZ Connected Lights

Ойын-сауық

The studio got an upgrade with Philips Wi-Fi LED WiZ Connected Lights. I've had my eye on these to replace my standard down lights for a little while now. My studio just got smarter. The lights can be controlled with Alexa and Google Home. I hope you enjoy this installation and review!

    I was really hoping you would cover how to get them up into the can. I have these lights and am not sure how to adjust them to fit my 6" cans. The springs aren't working properly so I know I need to adjust them, but I was hoping you would have had to do that part.

    I am not sure... You may want to look it up, but I am sure you are alright. I've seen that method before with drywall. They don't heat up like incandescent bulbs. With that being said, I am not an expert and can't speak on building codes. The lights have been working a lot better with the app update.
