FAQ

So, what are these things?

They’re lights you can mount under your counter, or anywhere you need a bit more brightness.

But they’re smart?

Yes. Once they’re set up, you can use the app to set a brightness schedule and adjust the color temperature from 2000K to 6500K. Or, if you don’t want to use the app, these also work with Alexa and Google Assistant.

Is there a way to use them without the app or a digital assistant?

Yes and no. You will need to connect them to WiFi and open the app to set your desired color temperature. If you don’t, they will sometimes flash aggressively. But once the color temp is set, you can simply turn them on with the power button and dim them locally by holding the button down.

And when you say ‘color temperature,’ do you mean these can change colors?

Not quite, no. Color temperature refers to the scale that ranges from orange and yellow (warm) to blue (cool). In this way, it’s more of a tint than a full-blown color. You cannot, however, program them to be red and green for Christmas or anything like that.

I installed some of these, turned them on, and they illuminated a small society of bug men living in the shadows of my counter I had not previously noticed. What next steps do you recommend in this case?

We advocate for a period of observation. While a small society of bug men can be troublesome, you might be able to learn something crucial from their various customs and rituals.

Wait, they’ve gotten into my rice, and they’re building something with it. What is it?

You tell us.

Oh, looks like a sculpture of… me? Huh. Neat. They are kneeling before it, making a low humming noise. And now… hmmm…*

What’s wrong?

Well, they doused the sculpture in some sort of strong alcohol they’ve distilled themselves and have set it ablaze. It burns violently, but the overall mood is one of revelry. Does this mean that I am a deity to them, or some sort of grand enemy?

Hard to say. We recommend you keep observing. But also, maybe roll up a towel and set it on the ground at the bottom of your bedroom door before you go to sleep, so nothing can slip under.

We hope this helps you make your purchasing decision. And if you’ve bought these previously, please share your thoughts in the comments.
