I used this to replace my standard downlight over my front door. I have a Ring doorbell with a black keypad that is impossible to see at night until you touch it. If you touch the pad in the wrong spot it registers the touch which is usually the wrong number on the keypad. I linked the Govee downlight with Alexa and I made an Alexa routine to turn on the downlight on bright white when the Ring doorbell sees motion at my front door. This makes the keypad on the doorbell easily visible before touching it. Problem solved! Oh, and it's nice being able to use colors on these lights for the holidays too. Installation was pretty simple.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought these to replace my old can lights that were installed when the house was built. I cheated and forced the clips into the mounted canisters rather than going into the attic and removing the cans as the directions stated. My house is 2 story and getting to where the can lights are is just not an option for an old feller my my stature. So I was able to hold the cips back and quickly insert into the cans. Clips opened up and have held the lights just fine for 6 months now. That being said, it wasn't easy. I noticed they have retro lights now that appear to be the correct sort of replacement. I would go with the retro if you are not removing the cans. If you can remove the cans, these are a no brainer. I hooked up to my wifi switches and they stay on white almost all the time. I have yet to hook them up to the TV lights using the dream feature but have played with the different light effects from my phone.

Smart Retrofit RecessedLights

We love these lights and they work as advertised. They were very easy to install. It took more time setting up the lights on the Govee Home app then it took me to install the four new lights. Install is very easy and no technical skills are required. They are truly plug & play.
I have them in sync with the Govee Envisual TV Backlight T2 system on our family room 85 inch TV. My wife didn't notice that the lights were changed until the room started changing colors to mirror the TV screen colors. She was amazed at the atmosphere these new lights create.

I have several Govee products in my home including the TV Backlight, Led Strips, Light Bars and now the Recessed Lighting. These were extremely simple to install, they come with everything you need (including wire connectors). They feel well made and look GREAT!!!

When they work, they're awesome.

We replaced 6 of our lights with the retrofit lights and they all worked for about 10 days and then they started to drop like flies. 3 of them will no longer turn on or respond within the app. I tried doing the rapid replacement but never heard back. I decided to buy another 4 pack to replace the 3 failed ones and hopefully I'll have better luck. The 3 that didn't fail on us still seem to be working, so hopefully I just got some duds.
They're really easy to install, since you're just screwing in a light bulb, so that's nice.
Before anyone asks, no, we don't have them hooked up to a dimmer switch.

Retrofit Recessed Lights - Excellent Fit
on September 3, 2024

Purchased these light to change out the can lights we already had in the kitchen. Super easy installation and they work perfect! These Retrofit Recessed light simply pushed up into the existing can light inserts ( NOT the roughed in can light without the insert ). The Retrofit Recessed lights were held perfectly in place with the attached metal clips. I had four of these lights, installed, and hooked up to the app in 10 minutes. The different light adjustments are great. Looking for more places in the house to use the GOVEE lights.
