FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Matter-Compatible Smart Lighting Range Ships Worldwide, Tapping $27 Billion Market Fueled by Interoperability Mandate
Energy-grade LEDs, Thread radios and cross-brand software debut in 42 countries as first Matter-certified luminaires hit retail ahead of holiday season.
San Francisco, Calif., Nov. 20, 2025 — LumaForge Lighting today announced global availability of its Matter-certified “Arc-Zero” smart lighting family, the first range to combine tunable-white, full-color and daylight-harvest sensors in a single SKU that pairs natively with Apple Home, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings and Amazon Alexa without proprietary hubs. Initial pallets left the company’s Fremont plant Tuesday for distributors in North America, the EU, Japan, Australia and the GCC, putting the range on shelves before Cyber Monday.
The release lands as the smart-lighting market is projected to grow 22 percent annually through 2034, from USD 27.4 billion in 2025 to USD 165.9 billion, according to an August forecast by Precedence Research.
“Matter removes the last psychological barrier—consumers no longer gamble on which app will work in three years,” said LumaForge CEO Dana Chandra. “Our Thread-based mesh delivers sub-100 ms response times while cutting standby power to 0.3 W per node, a specification commercial buildings now require for net-zero certifications.”
Each Arc-Zero luminaire ships with a QR-code certificate that auto-loads into any Matter commissioner, eliminating manual pairing. A universal 120-277 V driver and PoE variant allow the same SKU to be screwed into an E26 socket in a San Francisco Victorian or snapped into a 600-mm T-grid in a Singapore office tower, simplifying inventory for electrical wholesalers.
Energy savings underpin demand. LEDs paired with occupancy analytics can trim lighting electricity 60 percent, the International Energy Agency estimates. With 77 percent of U.S. postal codes now qualifying for utility rebates that slash retrofit payback to under 18 months, adoption is accelerating fastest in the commercial segment, which already accounts for 40 percent of global spend.
“We deployed 850 Arc-Zero panels in our Phoenix fulfillment center last month,” said Miguel Serrano, facilities director at third-party logistics firm RapidShip. “Integration took one afternoon—our Samsung SmartThings dashboard now dims aisles to 20 percent when no one’s picking, cutting 42 MWh annually and qualifying us for a $62,000 rebate.”
Retail pricing starts at $29.99 for an 800-lumen A19 bulb and $149 for a 2×2 ft troffer, positioning the line 15 percent below comparable Philips Hue commercial SKUs, LumaForge claims. Volume tiers for utilities and ESCOs drop below 11 cents per lumen, a benchmark the DesignLights Consortium cites as the tipping point for mass LED retrofits.
