What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?
Good points

Good Points

  • Can be controlled effectively using a physical remote control
  • Can still control lights when the Internet or even Wi-Fi connections are down
  • Excellent performance in our luminance tests
Bad points

Bad Points

  • First-time users might find the installation process to be confusing as there are three manuals in the kit and the installation instructions are not clear
  • The included ZigBee hub is required in order to control lights via the app, which takes up an Ethernet port on the router and increases overall running cost
