Recessed Ceiling Light with variable warmth settings
-
Browsing Amazon.com ahead of Black Friday and stumbled upon this:
https://www.amazon.com/Ensenior-Ultra-Thin-Can-Killer-Downlight-Brightness/dp/B08KG37X2Z/ref=gbps_img___088c6072?smid=A61CMNCK0JTGW&th=1Not that I need this, and I do not know how good a product it actually is as a matter of execution, I just like the idea very much.
Flat and compact recessed ceiling light using LED technology, comes with a switch that lets you select five color temperatures, from 2700K "warm" to 5000K "daylight".
Now if they can add a dimmer and allow multiple units' temperature controls to tie back to one central slider switch on a wall and may be extend that to a remote, that would be perfect. (But no, do not make it 'IoT' or Internet capable, that would make it too unnecessarily complicated.)

My floor lamps in my living room work through Google. (Phillips hue lights)
There’s diff names for diff combinations of lamps+color temp
E.g. “hey Google turn on read” will trigger 5 specific lights with a specific temp (warm). While calling it “energize” instead of “read” triggers bright.
I find though, I almost never use anything but warm light.
I have a physical (SW) programmable switch in the room as well

There are times when "smart lights" are great. I have several programmed settings for our living room and foyer:
- "Good Night" - all lights but two turned off
- "Guest Lights" - when we have people over, but not too bright
- "Good Morning" - some turned up, just a bit
- "Good Evening" - enough lighting to enjoy an evening watching TV or whatever
- "Turn up the lights" - turn every light up to 100% for cleaning, etc.
- "Piano Lights" - turns on the piano desk lamp, and ceiling lights above the piano
But...
Sometimes, it's nice to just walk into a room (the kitchen) and flip a switch to turn on all the overheads. No sophistication or adjustments necessary. Just let me cook.

True @George-K - the “smart” light stuff is an exception. It’s cool to have it. But 9 times out of 10 I’m flipping switches.
