Overview
- Ikea’s Kajplats bulbs are now on sale through the company’s U.S. online store and in many retail locations.
- The lineup spans multiple E26 and E12 options with 450, 800, 1,100, and 1,600 lumen models, priced from $5.99, with starter kits up to $14.99.
- Starter kits pair an E26 bulb with the Bilresa remote, and, when used with the Dirigera hub, support control in the Ikea Home app and other Matter platforms.
- The bulbs use Matter-over-Thread for cross-platform compatibility intended to simplify setup across major smart-home ecosystems.
- Early users have reported pairing and drop-off problems, and while Ikea has issued a Dirigera update to improve “Matter onboarding stability,” its effectiveness has not been confirmed.
