The slim wafers are so simple and if something goes wrong, you just plug and play a new one. The junction boxes have slots to feed wires to connect wires to one another. GE wafers have clips that you slide into the hole and release. They’re much less of a pain than a traditional recessed can.

That being said, whatever you buy for recessed wafers, stick to that brand and style only. You can’t just change out LEDs like you would with a light bulb. Without Bluetooth, the wafers I have come in warm white. I set them to daylight on the GE Cync app. I’ve seen some wafers that give you the ability to switch between cool, warm, and soft white.

i swapped about 15 old school cans for retrofit FEIT wifi colored lights at my old house and it was a never-ending cycle of lights working one day, then blinking the next because it lost WiFi connectivity. PITA

definitely would consider simpler models that let you set the CCD/white levels but count me out on more elaborate WiFi/smart crap.

at most i would want to be able to set the CCD by phone app or wall switch flipping; I don't want to have to set it on the light itself then have to pull it out of the ceiling if i ever change my mind to hit a different temp.
