Aqara has expanded its smart-lighting lineup in China with an E14 version of its LED Bulb T2 and a multicolor LED Strip T2. Both support Zigbee and Matter over Thread, but Aqara has not announced international pricing or release dates.
Aqara has expanded its Matter lighting lineup in China with an E14 version of its LED Bulb T2 and a multicolor LED Strip T2. The launches add a less common bulb fitting and more detailed strip-light color control to the company’s smart-home range, though international availability remains unannounced.
The LED Bulb T2 E14 adds the smaller screw fitting to Aqara’s T2 family, which already includes E26/E27-style bulbs and GU10 spotlights. The E14 version is intended for fixtures such as bedside lamps, chandeliers and wall sconces. According to the source report, it runs on Zigbee by default for Aqara Home and can be switched to Thread for Matter connectivity when paired with a compatible Thread border router.
Aqara rates the RGB bulb for up to 1,100 lumens, a color temperature range of 2,000K to 9,000K and Ra90 color rendering. The report says it can produce 16 million colors and supports Apple Home Adaptive Lighting, which adjusts white-light color temperature over the course of the day. Its listed price in China is 129 yuan, about $19.36.
The new multicolor LED Strip T2 is an update to Aqara’s earlier Zigbee-only T1 strip. It supports separate colors across lighting zones, rather than requiring the strip to display one color throughout. Aqara’s global T2 strip shown at IFA was described as having 108 LEDs per meter and 18 independently controlled zones per meter, with a five-channel system and 16-bit control. The China product is listed at 379 yuan, about $56.87. The report does not establish whether every specification shown for the global version applies to the China model.
More Fixtures, More Color Control
The E14 bulb addresses a practical compatibility gap for people with smaller decorative fixtures. While standard bulb shapes are common in smart-home catalogs, E14 Matter-over-Thread options are less widely available, according to the report. Aqara’s release could give users another route to smart control without replacing those fixtures or relying on a bulb that uses only Wi-Fi or Zigbee.
The T2 strip’s independently controlled zones also offer more than a single-color accent light: different portions can display different colors, while the reported white-light range can serve for indirect illumination. Together, the products widen Aqara’s lighting choices across both decorative fittings and larger strip installations. The practical benefit of Matter support is broader platform integration, but the report cautions that some animated effects and individual zone settings may still depend on Aqara Home.

Aqara’s Expanding Lighting Range
The two products fit into Aqara’s wider push to offer lighting across more installation types, with support for both Zigbee and Thread in its recent lineup. The company introduced H1 full-color downlights and spotlights in China earlier in the year, according to Matter Alpha. At IFA 2026, it also presented a broader global lighting range that included floor lamps, downlights, light strips and outdoor products.
Aqara’s dual-protocol approach gives customers a choice between using its own app and connecting compatible devices to other smart-home platforms through Matter. The source report names Apple Home, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant as platforms the broader strategy is intended to serve. However, Matter support does not necessarily provide every product-specific setting available through Aqara’s own system.
“The E14 bulb is priced at 129 yuan (about $19.36) in China.”

International Launch Details Pending
Aqara has not announced global availability or an international release date for either new product. Although the company previously showed a global LED Strip T2 at IFA 2026, the report says that presentation did not include a confirmed retail launch schedule. It is also not clear whether the products’ China specifications, software features or prices will carry over unchanged to other markets.
The report describes Matter connectivity and advanced lighting controls, but some strip effects and zone settings may remain limited to Aqara Home rather than being exposed through Matter to every third-party platform. The precise feature set available in each ecosystem has not been specified.

Watch for Global Sales Updates
The next concrete development would be Aqara confirming international launch dates, regional pricing and supported configurations. Buyers outside China should check local Aqara announcements before assuming that the products are available or that the China-listed prices apply in their market. Any regional launch information would also clarify which advanced strip controls can be accessed through Matter and which require Aqara Home.
