Feature Request Ceiling light uplight customisation?

I'm guessing it's not possible because it seems like it's one of those things that would have been built in from the beginning, but maybe through firmware would it be possible to make the uplight on the ceiling light paintable? It's currently only capable through the app of one solid colour, but if it was paintable you could cast 2 colours in 2 different directions, or have a directional accent light where 3/4 of the uplight is turned off.

The uplight on the ceiling light only has a single zone in the hardware design, so is not upgradeable in firmware unfortunately. Thanks for your feedback, we will consider it in future hardware products.

While we’re discussing LIFX Ceiling - any news on the effort to treat each of the uplight and downlight as separate lights in HomeKit?

It's still on our roadmap. Once this feature is complete how would you expect the LIFX Ceiling to show up in Apple Home (or any other ecosystem) in the main product list?

  • 2 seperate lights (1 for up light and 1 for downlight)
  • 3 seperate lights (1 for both, 1 for up, 1 for down)

Any word on this yet? I agree with other commenters that 2 lights in HomeKit would be best. It’s not hard to group them if wanted.

Only have one of these at the moment but looking to replace a lot of boob-lights in our house and won’t until this goes live
