IKEA NYMÅNE T2601: new ceiling lamp with Thread and Zigbee shows up at the FCC
A new IKEA light has appeared at the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The approval for the “LED Ceiling Lamp” with model number T2601 was granted on 6 November and has only now been spotted. According to the rating label in the filing, it belongs to the NYMÅNE range. The interesting part is the radio: the filing contains separate test reports for Thread, Zigbee and Bluetooth Low Energy, but none for Wi-Fi.
That points to a light for Matter over Thread that can also do Zigbee. Matter itself is not confirmed for the T2601, though: the word does not appear in the publicly available documents.
The IKEA lamp is not sold on Amazon; you can find a comparable alternative with Thread and Zigbee here:

What the FCC filing says
The applicant is IKEA of Sweden AB from Älmhult. The FCC ID is FHO-T2601, and the grant is listed as “Original Equipment”. So this is a new device, not a revised version of an older model. Testing was done by TÜV Rheinland in Shanghai.
It transmits in the 2.4 GHz band between 2402 and 2480 MHz. At IKEA’s request, the FCC is keeping photos, the user manual and the test setup confidential until 5 May 2027. What the lamp looks like is therefore still unknown.
A smart NYMÅNE
The rating label is already public. It reads “NYMÅNE, TYPE: T2601”, plus 120 V, 60 Hz and 22.7 W, and “Made in Thailand”. The lamp also carries a Canadian IC number, so the version filed is meant for North America. A 230 V version would not need FCC approval, which is why the documents say nothing about one.
NYMÅNE has been part of IKEA’s range for a while, mostly as lamps without any radio. The smart NYMÅNE pendant lamp from 2022 still ran on Zigbee via the TRÅDFRI gateway. According to the FCC, the T2601 is a new device, not a revised version.
One thing is clear: an FCC approval covers the US. It says nothing about a launch in Europe or the UK. IKEA has not announced a name, price or date yet.

Context
The T2601 is not the first lamp of this kind. IKEA already received FCC approval for a ceiling lamp with model number T2501 on 26 March 2026, and for a pendant lamp T2503 on 26 May 2026. Both also have separate test reports for Thread, Zigbee and Bluetooth LE.
IKEA is also using Thread for other devices: its LILJEBAGGE radiator thermostat with Matter over Thread has been announced. Thread devices need a Thread border router. What that does is explained in our article Thread border router explained.
Verdict
The T2601 is not an announced product yet, but it is a clear hint: IKEA appears to be bringing out a smart NYMÅNE ceiling lamp with Thread and Zigbee. Whether it speaks Matter, what it will cost and whether and when it will reach shops outside North America remains open until the official launch.
