A 5-inch smart LED recessed downlight retrofit with tunable white from 2700K to 5000K, ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and covered outdoor spaces where wet-rated lighting is needed.

The Nuvo Lighting Starfish collection brings smart, energy-efficient lighting to your home with this tunable white recessed downlight retrofit. Easily installs into existing 5-inch recessed cans with attached clips and a clean white trim. Wi-Fi enabled, it pairs with Alexa, Hey Google, Siri, and Samsung SmartThings for voice control—no hub required. The E26 adapter is included, and the fixture is ENERGY STAR rated and California Title 20/24 compliant.

• Smart home setups wanting voice control without a separate hub
• Retrofitting existing 5-inch recessed cans with a quick, tool-free installation
