After originally releasing the company’s Ceiling Light T1M in China last summer, announces the T1M is now available to international consumers today. This smart light fixture features a main white light, with a full colour gradient ring for everyday uses and accent lighting, respectfully. The Ceiling Light T1M is available on Aqara’s Amazon brand stores in North America (US, Canada) and Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, UK) as well as through select Aqara retailers worldwide.
The T1M is suitable for rooms ranging from 5~20 square meters (approximately 54~215 square feet). It offers a spectrum ranging from warm-to-cool whites (2700-6500K) to 16 million colours for the ring light. Its independently addressable RGB ring enables integration into smart home experiences, allowing visual notifications for home status changes, such as doorbell rings or security system triggers. For hearing-impaired individuals, it can be paired with smart security alarm systems to add customised visual alerts, enhancing safety and convenience.
The Ceiling Light T1M, like other Aqara Zigbee devices, supports Matter and major platforms such as Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home through a compatible Aqara hub. Due to this wide compatibility it makes it a bit more of a future-proof addition to your home. The light features low idle power consumption due to the energy-efficient Zigbee protocol and acts as a repeater for your Zigbee network, extending network range and responsiveness. Zigbee also ensures local automation remains functional even when disconnected from the internet. The T1M boasts a Color Rendering Index (Ra) of 90 for more accurate white light and has undergone rigorous testing to ensure a lifespan of 50,000 hours.
Building upon the LED Strip T1’s success (review here, video here), the Ceiling Light T1M is the latest addition to Aqara’s smart light portfolio, adding to the Company’s smart home categories. The T1M integrates with other Aqara devices, so for example, it can be paired with presence or motion sensors for automated lighting, or reducing energy consumption. Additionally, when paired with an Aqara light switch featuring Wireless Switch mode, users can control the light traditionally while retaining the Ceiling Light’s smart features.
