Collection: Downlights

Recessed Lighting That Goes Way Beyond White.

Most recessed downlights do one thing: turn on. LIFX Downlights do billions of colors, tunable whites, scene-based control, and scheduling, all from a fixture that sits flush in your ceiling and looks like it was always meant to be there.

Choose between canless models that wire directly into your ceiling, or retrofit models with an E26 screw base that drop straight into your existing recessed fitting. Sizes range from 4 to 6 inches to cover the most common ceiling cutouts. Some models come with magnetic fascias so you can switch between black and white to match your space without pulling anything out of the ceiling.


Group multiple downlights by room and control them all at once. Set warm evening light to kick in at sunset automatically. Go full color for a party or movie night. Your ceiling, your call.

Works with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and Samsung SmartThings. No hub required. Browse below and give your ceiling the upgrade it deserves.

FAQs

What is the difference between a retrofit and a canless downlight?

Retrofit downlights use an E26 screw base that drops into your existing recessed can housing, making them the simplest upgrade if you already have recessed lighting installed. Canless downlights wire directly into the ceiling junction box with no housing required, making them the right choice for new builds or any space where no recessed can exists.

What sizes do LIFX Downlights come in?

LIFX Downlights are available in 4 inch and 6 inch sizes to cover the most common ceiling cutouts. The 5 to 6 inch retrofit is also compatible with existing 5 inch and 6 inch recessed cans. Check your current housing size before ordering — the cutout diameter is usually stamped inside the existing trim ring.

Do LIFX Downlights support color or just white light?

Every LIFX Downlight delivers billions of vivid colors plus tunable whites from 1500K to 9000K. You can set warm candlelight for evenings, bright cool white for task lighting, or go full color for entertainment and ambiance, all from the LIFX app.

Do LIFX Downlights require a hub?

No. Every LIFX Downlight connects directly to your home Wi-Fi with no hub, bridge, or extra hardware needed. All major smart home platforms are supported out of the box.

How energy efficient are LIFX Downlights?

Very. The 4 inch models produce 850 lumens from just 10.3 watts. The 5 to 6 inch retrofit produces 800 lumens from 9 watts. The 6 inch models reach 1,200 lumens from 14.6 watts, using significantly less energy than equivalent incandescent or halogen recessed fixtures.

What smart home platforms do LIFX Downlights work with?

LIFX Downlights work natively with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and Samsung SmartThings with no hub required. You can mix downlights with other LIFX products in the same scenes and groups across all four platforms.
