Aqara has expanded its lineup with five fresh smart lighting options that support Matter, Thread, Zigbee, and are compatible with Apple Home. These new lights are being shown off at IFA and pair smoothly with other Aqara sensors and switches. Pricing and exact release dates have not yet been shared.
Feature-Rich Fixtures for Home and Outdoors
The collection includes the Floor Lamp T1, a tall rod-style lamp designed to produce a wall-wash effect. It boasts 18 independently controllable zones, supports temperatures from 2000K to 9000K, and delivers up to 1,000 lumens.
Also coming are two versatile indoor fixtures: the LED Downlight T2, made for low ceilings or retrofit installations, and the Trim Strippable LED Strip T2. Both offer the full gamut of 16 million colors and cover the same 2000K–9000K white-light range. The strip features 108 LEDs per meter and has zones every three meters to enable smooth color transitions.
Weather-Ready Outdoor Options
For outdoor spaces, there’s the Outdoor String Lights H1, built to withstand environment elements and offer programmable zones for both white and color light. These can respond to time-based rules and signals from other smart devices.
The Permanent Outdoor Lights H1 rounds out the group. They’re designed for long-term outdoor use, feature independently controlled LEDs, and are made to be cut or extended to suit your architecture, such as rooflines.
Protocol Support & Smart Home Integration
All five lights are Matter-enabled, enabling unified control across smart home platforms. Aqara’s inclusion of Thread and Zigbee provides added flexibility. Users with existing Aqara accessories like sensors or switches will be able to integrate and trigger behaviors across devices.
The company is displaying the new fixtures at IFA but hasn’t revealed pricing or availability details yet. Keep an eye out for more info soon.
These new smart lights represent a leap forward for Aqara’s ecosystem. The variety—ranging from indoor fixtures to weatherproof outdoor lines—combined with full support for Matter, Thread, and Zigbee, suggests Aqara aims to cater to both power users and mainstream consumers. What’s important moving forward will be how these devices perform in real homes: how seamless the integration is with Apple Home and other platforms, whether their color zones live up to the hype, and how their durability holds up outdoors. As Matter continues expanding, products like these are key to pushing toward the promise of truly interoperable smart homes.
