Install Lumary Color Changing Recessed Lights!

[@KellyConcepts]

If you don't have attic access, check out my new video on how to install recessed lights: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYSugWxtnapkncU Do you think this is the biggest update you can make to a house for only $100? Or what would you think is the best project for $100?

[@mostman]

Just came across this video while researching this brand. Do you recommend them still? And, one question, if you set the color once, does it maintain the color when you switch the lights off and on? I’m not very interested in using the app every time I want to use the lights.

[@KellyConcepts]

@@mostman Hey Mike, the lights have been great so far - we do typically just leave it on a normal yellowish/white (2700k) color and it stays that way when we turn off and on the lights - any color will stay where you left it. I did have to fix the colors when the power went out but it's not common.

[@mostman]

@@KellyConcepts Awesome. Thanks so much. Subbed.

[@LIBIDOBeds]

thanks for the video! Your instructions for connecting the lights to the router were super useful!

[@nickaxen]

So helpful! I’m remodeling a garage into a gym and this is exactly what I was looking for!

[@chalaq03]

Can I put dimmer switch with these smart recessed lights. It’s for aesthetics only as the dimming will be controlled by Lumary app. Also, should I keep the switch ON at all times and turn off each section of basement via groups and then turn it on via phone (for a group) via App?

Beautiful kids room.nice remodel..nice job my friend

Thank you!

[@jasonfuessel2961]

Will these work with a dimmer switch or does it have to be dimmed from app?

[@foxecho727]

Very cool, I need to replace the stupid LED disks the builder put in with the Luminary lights with my limited knowledge to do so!

[@POLOAZTECA]

Question: What if I don't want to use the app? Can I still do some color changing with the light switch??.

[@WILLYDOGUSA]

Nice video! How are the light holding on after 2 years, any issue or problems?

[@lukaszlipert1189]

Can dimmer switch be used for these lights ?

[@kingtspoon]

I'm interested in these lights for my home theater project. Can they also be controlled using a smart switch such as the Brilliant Smart Home Control Switch? I have a few of these in my home and it's a deal breaker if I can't use my existing smart switch for these lights.

[@KellyConcepts]

It's my understanding that they can't be used with any dimmer switches/smart switches. That is my biggest complaint with these as well looking back. It'd be nice to not have to talk to Alexa all the time.

[@kingtspoon]

@@KellyConcepts yup... that's my concern. However, I read a review somewhere that since these work with Google Home and Alexa, that if the smart switch such as the Brilliant smart switch has these apps also integrated, then the lights can be controlled. But I haven't found multiple sources to prove that theory.

[@joestenger8886]

If you shut the wall switch off for a long time and then turn it back on, do you have to reset all the lights?

[@nealjt13]

I’d like to know too.

[@IrishChippy]

That is a cool dust collector for the hole saw. Your little fellow is so excited. Alexa is confused here, because you did not say which bedroom. Hahaha. Nice job Shaun

Haha I hate when videos say "Alexa" and then my Alexa goes "I don't know that one". Sorry! Thanks for checking it out

This things have been stressing me out for 2 days I have both 5g and 2.4 on my xfinity box I disabled the 5g to connect them and it just won't install the lights it can read that I have 8 devices but it just won't connect if there's any tips I'd like to know I never had any issues with connecting smart devices but this is the worse experienceit should be easy but it's not unfortunately.

im adding 12 to my home in the soffett ,will the app add all of them at one time or do i have to do it multiple times

[@KellyConcepts]

It'll add all of the them at once to the app and then you can group them if you'd like later in the app.

[@raymondhudson1288]

[@planetinvader]

I bought lumary lights with gimbal but they don’t have a ground wire and also no jbox. Any thoughts or recs on proper connection?

[@yuriymurashko]

Great video. By the way, you don’t need to search for studs. Even if you end up drilling a hole on the the stud, you can just put each clip on each side of the stud.

[@jasongonzales7475]

This is great! I'm struggling on how you split the wire black to the ceiling fan and red to the recessed lights? Can you please guide me to what wires you connected for the split? I'm assuming all 3 ground together, all 3 white together and than 2 black (for the fan) and 2 red (for the lights).. and than you just capped off the 3rd red and 3rd black separately?

[@KellyConcepts]

Yea pretty close! -All grounds together -All neutrals together -Determine how your switches are wired (is red wire light or fan). This varies depending on the electrician it seems. -Connect black fan wire to black switch wire (cap off red wire from fan) -Connect black recessed light wire to the red switch wire. The red and black coming from the switch are both hot and have power, you basically just separate one to fan and one to new lights. I'm not an electrician, but this is how I've seen it done and have been doing it. Good luck!

[@the-bu3lb]

How do I control each individual led light with google or Alexa? I don’t want to say google turn on bedroom light and all of them turn off. If I need just 2 on and the rest off how do I do this ? Please help thanks.

[@jalensi]

How did you get alexa to change the color of the lights. You did not cover that in your video.

[@HighCaliberCraftsman]

Pretty cool!

[@KellyConcepts]

Thank you!

[@BRITORO]

Nice video thanks. Question, if you want a guest to use these lights, can you share them the group and they can use the dimmer without changing any settings? Or they will need to do the whole thing on their phones?

[@benjaminshafer5444]

What ceiling fan is that?? I like it a lot!

[@ES-nm2nc]

Thanks for your advise. I see your hole saw shown reads 6 5/16", but you say we need a 6 3/8" hole saw. Did you feel you needed 1/16" more clearance? Thanks.

[@KellyConcepts]

Sorry, thats confusing. I usually go with 6 3/8th but needed a new hole saw and this 6 5/16 was just a little cheaper on Amazon so I grabbed it. Either one will work, but I actually like this 6 5/16 better.

[@zubutv.]

Wonderful

[@mario_oso_8837]

Hey. Great video man. Not sure if you can answer my question but I have LED Recessed lights that look just like those but they are not Color changing or smart enabled... What I want to know is... If I buy these, can I just plug them in the the old Grey box or do I have to do all that wiring in the Grey box like you did? Hope you can answer my question. Thanks again. I made sure to subscribe btw.

[@los2773]

Are these dimmable at all? I notice online it says there not compatible with a dimmer switch but can they be dimmed on the app?

[@KellyConcepts]

Yea they're dimmable with the app or by telling Alexa/Google to dim them.

Any ideas or suggestions on where to go for instruction on this? Lumary themselves haven’t been the most helpful or I’m looking in the wrong places. Any thoughts would be very much welcomed.

Can I install it without the green cable? There is no green cable on my ceiling Is It completely necessary?

You don't need to ground electrical devices when they are in a plastic housing.

[@optimalpropertysolutions2952]

If you already have recessed lights, is it just a case of changing them with these?

[@Turbo_96]

If the holes are the same size, pretty much yeah, but you have to watch out if you currently have 5v/12v/24v dc or 110v/230v ac

[@anthonytauber9209]

Can anyone recommend a dimmer switch for infibrite dimmable canless led lights that wont cause buzzing?

[@MI-mu4rt]

So from what I understand you have to keep the light switch on from now on? And if you tell Alexa to turn the lights off the switch cannot be used to turn the lights back on? Or there a special switch you can buy with them??

[@KellyConcepts]

that is the biggest problem with these - the light switch stays on and everything is controlled through Alexa or Smartphone at that point. They claim to not have a "smart switch" or anything yet compatible with these. However - after a while we use these more as regular lights with the switch and use the color changing on occasion .

[@miketessore2159]

Using the Lumary mobile App, How do you sync all the lights in one room to 1) “turn blue” at the same time without going into each single device to change the color, and 2) dance to music simultaneously?

I have the same issue, not able to sync them all at once, is it even possible? Any help will be useful. Thanks

[@shivankarsingh1620]

Very helpful! Just a question though, I'm planning on installing recessed lights in a room where there isn't very much light and there is a ceiling fan, just like in your video, and the only other light is 2 wall lights (on the actual walls and not in the ceiling). My question is, if I will be supplying power to the new recessed lights in the ceiling from the fan, how will I turn them on and off without turning the fan on at the same time? Also, the fan is controlled with a special remote looking switch on the wall with 3 different speed option buttons and one button for the built in light in the fan. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, if you want I can email you pictures of the current setup so you know what I'm talking about?

[@latinachula20002000]

Good question.

[@KellyConcepts]

Hey! I'm very late to this comment, but in a case like that, you'd have to run a new separate wire to your lights. It's not difficult but would require a couple holes in your wall and ceiling where you'd have to run a new wire. Ceiling fans that have both the fan and lights are the only time when you can split it off like I do in this video.

[@jasongonzales7475]

@@KellyConceptsI have the same light and fan setup. When splitting the wires and adding a new set of wires for the lights,.. do you CONNECT all 3 black together, all 3 red together, 3 white together and 3 ground together?

Always mechanical splice your wires,do not let the wire nut do it

[@dank2379]

As a licensed electrician for the last 26 years, you probably shouldn’t be doing electrical work

[@KellyConcepts]

Electricians charge $50 to swap out a receptacle. I'd tell people wrapping wires around a few screws is difficult and dangerous if I got paid that much for 5 minutes too.

[@chrshuston]

I want to start off by saying that you did a great job and your end result looks good, however: 1) there was no need to knockout both knockouts(2 wires could fit) 2)you don't need to crawl through anything, get a phishing reel and phish from light to light, if inaccessible- cut a channel perpendicular to the framing on the ceiling in between lights, send a phish from light to light straight down the bay 3 ( use high hats, wafers are for people that aren't actually electricians ( Because most people don't know how to put them in nor do they know the requirements of which kind to put in regarding insulation and non insulation situations) and in the occasion that high hats won't fit due to obstruction. 3) It's really bad to make people think That they can do this without training. The job you did is a best case scenario. You literally had open framing above you. The other thing I want to note is that there's a lot of factors in codes such as grounding to metal boxes, Wire fill for heat, proper crimping of connections, And many other factors that make it dangerous for somebody to wire their own home. 4) wire your switch leg in 3 wire - this is more a preference. It gives you the ability to add things in the future such as a center light or a fan with next to no additional cuts. 5) Wholesaw's work great on drywall, But they will make a plaster wall crack in so many areas and the other thing is you need to check for framing before you go cutting a 6" hole in a ceiling. So pilot holes at 1/8 of an inch or even a quarter of an inch so that you can stick a fish or a wire up there and spin it in a circle and feel for studs in either direction. I'm an old work electrician. I'm not trying to debate you or make you feel like crap because I think your work looks great. It's more advice for you and anybody watching your channel before they go and do something they're not capable of. I definitely recommend getting an oscillating tool as opposed to using whole saws. One last thing I want a note I don't like using wafers Unless I have to. Especially when it comes to Ceilings that are below attics that are not finished. You are exposing your house to all Types of shit like lead and such, especially in older homes. When properly installed(patched if needed) high hats seal off your ceiling so that even when you pull the trim or the light out your ceiling is still closed. Wafers on the other hand cannot be said the same of. And there's no guarantee 20 years down-the-line when your light dies that you're gonna be able to find that exact same light component to rehook to that Box. By then everything could have changed. And they claimed the last 25 years but haven't been around long enough to prove it. Commercial electric makes far better canned versions where you'll actually be able to replace the light when it finally burns out, and you can actually get a wide selection of trims instead of 1 boring ass option your stuck with
