For many people, their first experience into the world of home automation begins with lighting. There’s a good reason for it: smart bulbs easily fit into existing furnishings (which avoids extra costs) and can be operated using just a smartphone (wireless lighting systems) which (mostly) everybody now owns. Philips, is perhaps the most well known smart bulb maker, but that could soon change thanks to a new entrant: IKEA. That’s right, the world’s biggest furniture chain has just launched its own smart lighting range.

The Smart Lighting collection consists of TRÅDFRI LED bulbs and remote control, a gateway kit, a motion sensor kit, dimming lights and a selection of LED light panels and doors that can be built into kitchen and bedroom cabinets.

The gateway kit provides two white LED bulbs, a remote control and a gateway that connects to your router via ethernet. The bulbs are controlled by the TRÅDFRI app, which offers to personalized and user-created warm or cool light. The white spectrum dimming kit, on the other hand, is a lot more analog and requires the use of a handheld control that will change the white color to one of three settings.

There’s also a warm white dimming kit that includes one bulb and a magnetized remote (available in black, white and yellow) that will dim the light between “subtle and strong warm white light” with a simple twist.

With the TRÅDFRI wireless motion sensor kit, when you walk into a room, the light will automatically switch on and remain lit until 1, 5 or 10 minutes have passed. Like all of IKEA’s Smart Lighting products, the sensor itself does not need to be fixed, allowing you to place it in a spot that suits you.

Rounding off the collection is a selection of SURTE, FLOALT and JORMLIEN door and light panels made to offer personalized lighting in one of the most important areas in the house.
