π° What Happened
Ikea's donut-shaped smart lamp, the Varmblixt, is on sale for $79.99. That is $20 off, or 20 per cent, until 11 November.
The lamp puts out 180 lumens. That suits a bedside table or mood lighting, not a whole room. It can sit on a table or be mounted on a wall.
A wireless remote changes colour, brightness and power. You do not need an app or a hub. The newer model cycles through 12 preset colours.
π The Backstory
The original Varmblixt only came in orange. Reviewers liked the design enough to make it a favourite.
The lamp supports Matter, a shared standard for smart home devices. That lets it work with Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa.
Matter also unlocks hundreds more colours and lighting schedules. You can link it to motion sensors and other lights. Ikea's Dirigera hub adds more features through its app.
π― Why It Matters
Smart lights are often fiddly and expensive. A cheap lamp that works with the big three systems is an easy start.
