Chinese home robotics firm SwitchBot has launched a Matter-enabled smart ceiling light designed to combine everyday illumination, colourful ambient lighting and seamless smart home control in one fixture.
To brighten daily routines while creating more expressive home atmospheres, the RGBICWW ceiling light features RGBIC dynamic colour effects, adjustable warm-to-cool white lighting, Matter-over-wifi connectivity, app and voice control, and two size options for different spaces.
Matter-over-wifi lets users connect the light to major smart home platforms without purchasing an additional SwitchBot hub. It can be added to Apple Home, Home Assistant, Homey, Alexa, and Google Assistant, giving users more freedom to control lighting through their preferred ecosystem.
In Apple Home, users can turn the light on or off, adjust brightness, change colour, and create automations with other smart home devices. This makes the ceiling light suitable for households that want simpler cross-platform lighting control.
With RGBIC technology, independently controlled RGB LEDs enable dynamic multi-colour effects that flow from one colour to another, creating more immersive lighting for parties, movie nights, gaming setups, holidays and entertainment spaces.
For daily lighting, the warm and cool white LEDs support 2700K to 6500K colour temperature adjustment and 1% to 100% dimming. Users can switch from bright cool white for cooking, studying, or working to soft warm light for relaxing, reading or preparing for sleep.
Coming in two models, the 38cm model delivers up to 3200 lm and is suitable for bedrooms, kitchens, small living rooms, entertainment rooms and home offices. The 30.5cm model delivers up to 2000 lm and is designed for hallways, entryways, bathrooms, laundry rooms, closets, storage rooms and balconies.
Through the SwitchBot app, users can choose from 26 pre-set scenes and eight lighting effects, customise colours and brightness, set schedules, and create lighting routines for different times of day. Timer controls can support gradual morning wake-ups or softer night-time transitions, while the remote control helps users manage lights even when away from home.
Voice control through Apple Home, Alexa and Google Home makes it easier to adjust lighting hands-free while cooking, carrying a child, entering the home or getting ready for bed. Users can also pair the light with SwitchBot Remote, sold separately, for physical control without opening the app.
The light is built for comfortable daily use with colour rendering index (CRI) above 90, helping restore more natural colours in food, artwork, furniture and home decor. Flicker-free and glare-reduced lighting helps reduce eye fatigue during reading, studying, working and long-term use, while gradual on-off transitions create smoother brightness changes that feel more natural in everyday routines.
Power-off memory also helps reduce repeated setup. Users can choose whether the light turns on, stays off or restores its previous state after power is restored.
The light integrates with other SwitchBot devices to create more responsive lighting automations. When paired with the firm’s presence sensor, lights can turn on automatically when someone walks through a hallway at night and turn off after the space is empty. With the company’s video doorbell, Lock Ultra or Lock Vision, lighting can respond to visitors, arrivals or departures for a smarter and more welcoming home.
