Lifx made its first smart lamp

Smart lighting brand Lifx is introducing its first smart lamp at CES 2025: the Lifx Luna. It uses Matter over Wi-Fi, so it’ll integrate with an existing smart home setup easily — or it’s a low-stakes way to add some smarts to your non-smart home.

The Lifx Luna Smart Lamp includes 26 controllable color zones and offers up to 1,000 lumens of brightness. There are four built-in buttons that can control not just the lamp but also other Matter-connected Lifx lights or smart devices. It’s designed to sit on a tabletop or attach to a wall with an optional mount. It’ll launch in March 2025 and cost $69.99 exclusively from The Home Depot — either in-store or online.

For the more advanced smart home lighting enthusiast, Lifx is also announcing a bigger smart ceiling light. It’s oval-shaped, like the Luna lamp, measures 13 x 26 inches for a significant size bump over the 15-inch model, and includes 120 color zones. It’ll cost $149.99 and arrive in February.

The smart lamp will probably be the item with the widest appeal, though, given how easy it is to plug and play. It’s also significantly cheaper than high-end, sleep-oriented options from Philips and Hatch and doesn’t require a subscription like the latter. The Luna lamp doesn’t come with fancy features like guided morning stretches, but it does allow you to schedule routines like a sunrise alarm. For $130 less than something like the Hatch Restore 2, I’d skip the stretches, personally.
