IKEA launches new cheaper TRÅDFRI Smart LED Bulb for colored lighting

The new TRÅDFRI LED bulb GU10 is very similar to the older model of the same name, with one key difference: the energy efficiency has been improved, with the rating moving from band F to band E. The newer version has 3.6W rated power, consuming 4kWh/1000h and 0.2W in standby mode. Meanwhile, its predecessor is rated for 4.6W power, requiring 5 kWh/1000h when switched on and 0.3W on standby. Both smart bulbs have a peak brightness of 345 lumens, color temperature ranging between 2,700 and 4,000K, and colored light options including Pink, Light purple and Light blue.

The TRÅDFRI LED bulb lasts up to 25,000 hours and can be controlled using a remote or the IKEA Home smart app when linked to the DIRIGERA hub. Plus, you can connect the smart bulb to other compatible lights, controlling them simultaneously. The new TRÅDFRI LED bulb GU10 345 lumen for dimmable colored and white lighting is now available for €11.99/£8/129 kr. This makes it cheaper than the older model, which retails for €14.99/£10/179 kr. For comparison, the Philips Hue White and Colour Ambiance Smart GU10 LED Bulb costs €64.99/£54.99.
