Aqara Debuts Five Matter Smart Lights With Apple Home Support

Aqara has unveiled five new smart lights that are compatible with Apple Home and support the new Matter standard. The lights also operate on Thread and Zigbee protocols, allowing them to integrate with Aqara sensors and switches.

The Floor Lamp T1 stands out with its tall, rod-shaped design and wall-wash effect. It boasts 18 controllable light zones that can be set to various colors, ranging from 2000K to 9000K white light at up to 1,000 lumens.

The LED Downlight T2 is designed for low ceilings and retrofitting. It offers 16 million color options and also supports 2000K to 9000K white light. The light can be trimmed to fit specific spaces and provides even illumination without visible hotspots, thanks to its ability to control 18 zones every three meters.

Aqara's LED Strip T2 is ideal for under-cabinet and shelf lighting. It features 108 LEDs per meter and includes 18 controllable zones for smooth color gradients. The Outdoor String Lights H1 are weatherproof and suitable for patios and decks. Like the other lights, they have individually controllable zones with the same white light range, and can adjust based on time, environment, and smart home triggers.

Lastly, the Permanent Outdoor Lights H1 are designed for year-round use. They feature independently controlled LEDs that can be extended or cut to fit any roofline. Aqara will be demonstrating the new lights at the IFA trade show. However, the article does not provide pricing or launch timing details at this time.
