If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on IKEA’s stylish new smart lighting, you might not have to wait until spring. The much-anticipated Varmblixt LED table/wall lamp, dimmable smart/white glass colour and white spectrum, 30 cm, appears to be teasing an earlier-than-expected arrival.
Originally announced in January 2026 alongside a matching pendant light, the Varmblixt family was slated for an April 2026 release. However, a recent and seemingly accidental product listing on IKEA Sweden’s website has set the smart home community abuzz. The page, complete with full specifications and pricing, suggests the launch could be just around the corner.
While the listing currently shows the item as out of stock both online and in stores, its mere existence is telling. It’s highly unusual for IKEA to publish a detailed product page months in advance of the stated release date. This has led to speculation that the sleek, dual-purpose lamp could hit shelves—or at least become available for pre-order—imminently.
Price and Specifications Confirmed
The Swedish listing provides our first concrete look at details. In Sweden, the smart Varmblixt lamp will carry a price tag of SEK 699. This aligns with the cost of the original, non-smart Varmblixt, giving us a strong indication of likely international pricing. Based on typical IKEA pricing structures, we can expect it to retail for approximately:
- $99.99 in the US
- £55.00 in the UK
- €59.99 in the EU
We also now have confirmed dimensions and technical specs. The lamp measures 30 x 12 cm (11.8 x 4.7 inches) and houses a light source rated for a long-lasting 25,000 hours, emitting up to 180 lumens of warm, adjustable light.
Smart Features and Connectivity
As promised in the initial announcement, this Varmblixt variant is packed with smart capabilities. It’s designed to offer both rich white spectrum and multi-colored lighting, with the ability to smoothly transition between 12 pre-selected shades to match any mood or moment.
For full control, the lamp connects to the IKEA Dirigera smart hub. Through the IKEA Home smart app, users can dim the light, change colors, group multiple lights together, and set automated schedules.
Crucially, IKEA has embraced the universal Matter standard. This means that even if you don’t own a Dirigera hub, you can seamlessly integrate the Varmblixt lamp into your existing smart home ecosystem. It will be controllable via popular platforms like Google Home, Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and others that support Matter, offering significant flexibility.
What Happens Next?
For those eager to see the official page, you can find the listing on IKEA’s Swedish site here: Varmblixt LED table/wall lamp, dimmable smart/white glass.
The big question now is timing. Will IKEA Sweden officially release the Varmblixt LED table/wall lamp in the coming weeks, or was this a premature page launch that will lead to a longer wait? And how quickly will it follow in other global markets?
One thing is clear: IKEA continues to aggressively expand its affordable, design-led smart lighting range. The Varmblixt, with its elegant glass shade and versatile table or wall mount, is poised to be a popular, accessible entry point for anyone looking to add ambient, colorful smart lighting to their home. Keep an eye on your local IKEA website—this launch might come sooner than anyone thought.
