Following the recent regulatory appearances of the UNDERSEGEL and SPEGELBLANKT smart fixtures, IKEA continues to aggressively expand its connected lighting portfolio. The Swedish furniture giant is currently in the middle of a massive push toward the universal Matter standard. This shift recently included a major rollout of twenty-one new native Matter devices, bringing affordable connectivity to everyday smart home sensors and remote controls.
The company is even expanding its Matter footprint directly into its integrated furniture lines. By developing new smart LED drivers, IKEA is actively bringing Thread networking directly to its popular under-cabinet kitchen lighting systems and integrated lights. Now, a brand-new FCC filing surfaced this week, detailing yet another connected pendant light designed to join this rapidly growing modern smart home ecosystem.
A powerful indoor fixture
The new lighting fixture operates under the product name LANGDMATT (length measurements or linear measure in English) and carries the official FCC ID FHO-T2503. According to the regulatory label and the physical location exhibits submitted to the agency, the device is a downward-facing, pendant-style light designed exclusively for dry indoor locations. It has a classic design of an IKEA pendant lamp series for the base part.
The internal label specifies a power rating of 23.5W (usually produces 3,000 lumens) running on standard 120V power. This is a fairly substantial power draw for a standard smart LED light, suggesting a high brightness output capable of properly illuminating a primary living space and dining area. For those looking to maintain a clean and minimal interior design aesthetic, a single, powerful pendant often serves as a much better focal point than scattering multiple smaller smart lamps around a room.
Thread and Zigbee connectivity
The most crucial technical details are found within the submitted radio test reports. The official exhibits clearly outline dedicated test documentation for Bluetooth Low Energy, Zigbee, and Thread protocols.
This documentation confirms that the LANGDMATT fixture will natively support Thread. This specific connectivity aligns perfectly with the current industry push toward the Matter standard, helping you build up a robust mesh with IKEA and products from other Matter brands.

Also the presence of Zigbee testing indicates that IKEA is not abandoning its massive install base of legacy users. This dual-radio approach ensures crucial backwards compatibility and its binding feature via Zigbee before Matter Binding is more popular and mature. It allows the new light to connect seamlessly to older, existing Zigbee setups for users who have not yet upgraded their home infrastructure with Thread border routers.
Expected rollout
Like other recent smart lighting products from the company, this pendant light will undoubtedly integrate with the IKEA DIRIGERA hub. This connection will also expose the light controls to major smart home platforms like Apple Home, Google Home, and localized systems like Home Assistant and Homey. The radio test reports note the lamp is tested with Apple ecosystem and paired with IKEA BILRESA remote for control.
Apple HomePod (2nd Gen)
The HomePod (2nd Gen) is a powerful hub from Apple that delivers immersive, high-fidelity audio and intelligent assistance, while seamlessly integrating with your Apple devices and smart home accessories; it's also a key component for Matter compatibility, ensuring broad connectivity with a range of smart home devices.
DIRIGERA
A Matter-compatible smart hub that connects and automates IKEA smart devices, enabling flexible control through the IKEA Home smart app, voice assistants, and remote triggers.
BILRESA Remote Control with Dual Button
A simple, two-button remote that lets you control smart lighting functions like power, brightness, colour, and scenes from anywhere nearby.
This ongoing hardware expansion proves that IKEA views the smart home as a core part of its furniture business rather than a niche tech project. While FCC filings barely guarantee an immediate retail release, the late May 2026 submission date suggests that the company is finalizing its required hardware certifications. Given the recent release cycle, you can likely expect to see the LANGDMATT arrive on local retail shelves later this year.
