Feit Electic-owned LIFX impressed us last year with a smart ceiling light that glowed in multiple colors and worked with Matter. Now, the brand is using the same multi-zone color concept for its first smart lamp, unveiled Monday at CES.
Slated to ship in February, the LIFX Luna Smart Lamp boasts a squat, oval-shaped design, with a flat translucent face that glows in variety of gradient colors thanks to 26 discretely addressable color zones.
The 1,000-lumen Luna can sit upright on a desk, a bedside table, or another flat surface, or it can be mounted on a wall.

Sitting on the top side of the Matter-enabled Luna are four customizable buttons that respond to different types of inputs, including single-presses, a double-press, or a press-and-hold. You can configure those buttons to control the Luna’s brightness, color scenes, or other settings, or the buttons can control other Matter devices in the room.
Even better, the buttons can take charge of other Matter products without the need of an internet connection, thanks to the device-to-device binding functionality in the Matter 1.3 specification.
For now, the Luna’s Matter connectivity only works via Wi-Fi. That said, the Luna ($69.99) has a Thread-capable chip, which LIFX plans to activate later this year.
Smart Oval SuperColor Ceiling Light
Meanwhile, LIFX is showing off a new version of its SuperColor ceiling light—and like the Luna, it’s oval-shaped, as opposed to the circular design of LIFX’s original ceiling fixture.
The 13 x 26-inch Smart Oval SuperColor Ceiling Light ($149.99, shipping in February) comes with 120 color zones, and Matter compatibility means you can use it with Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, or Samsung SmartThings.
The LIFX app features dozens of lighting scenes or you can create your own, from “stunning gradients” and “flickering flames” to “fluffy clouds” and “golden sunsets,” LIFX says.

The original LIFX SuperColor Ceiling light came out last summer, and it snagged our Editors’ Choice award for its “extremely easy” installation, its “bevy” of lighting features, and its excellent light quality.
We’re expecting to get review samples for both the LIFX Luna Smart Lamp and the Smart Oval SuperColor Ceiling Light soon, so stay tuned for our full reviews.
