Everyday and Atmospheric Lighting
The Ceiling Light T1M allows users to adjust the white light colour temperature from warm 2700K to cool 6500K. This makes it suitable for providing general illumination for a variety of activities. Additionally, users can choose from 16 million colours to set a specific mood or ambience.

For example, it can pulse a certain colour when the Aqara video doorbell detects a visitor or the security system is triggered. The visual alerts can be helpful for hearing-impaired homeowners.

The light is built to last with a 50,000 hour lifespan rating. And its energy-efficient Zigbee wireless technology means low power consumption. The Zigbee connectivity also enables local automation to work even if internet connectivity is lost.

The Ceiling Light T1M joins several other smart bulbs and lighting products from Aqara. It builds on the popularity of the company’s LED Strip T1 colour-changing light strip.
Like Aqara’s other lights, the T1M can be automated based on home occupancy using the company’s motion or presence sensors. It can also be controlled through traditional Aqara wall switches in Wireless Switch mode.
