Linkind's New AI Lighting at CES 2026 Promises an Intelligent, Unified Home

LAS VEGAS, NV – January 06, 2026 – At CES 2026, the smart lighting brand Linkind has offered a compelling glimpse into a future where home lighting is not just controlled, but creatively directed by artificial intelligence. The company, a key player in the AiDot smart home ecosystem, unveiled a suite of next-generation products that aim to blur the lines between outdoor and indoor spaces, function and expression, and digital entertainment and physical reality. Moving beyond simple on/off commands and color wheels, Linkind’s latest innovations are built around a core of five proprietary technologies designed to make lighting more adaptive, sustainable, and deeply integrated into the fabric of daily life.

At the heart of the announcement is a forward-facing vision of what the company calls “linking spaces with kind intelligence,” where lighting responds naturally to people, environments, and moments. This philosophy was demonstrated across a range of new products, from intelligent solar-powered landscape lights to modular interior fixtures and an advanced immersive entertainment system.

The AI Conductor: Lighting That Listens and Creates

The most significant leap presented by Linkind is arguably its advanced AI lighting engine, Dotis+™. While its predecessor, Dotis™, interprets natural language into coordinated light behavior, Dotis+™ elevates this concept by integrating ChatGPT and real-time Lua scripting. This transforms lighting from a reactive utility into an intelligent creative partner. Instead of selecting from a menu of pre-programmed scenes, users can now describe a mood, a memory, or an abstract idea—like “a relaxing sunset over the ocean” or “a vibrant, energetic forest”—and the AI will dynamically generate a unique, evolving light show to match.

This capability positions Linkind at the forefront of a major industry trend toward more sophisticated AI integration in the smart home. As consumers grow accustomed to conversational AI, the expectation for more natural and intuitive device control is rising. The Dotis+™ platform suggests a future where complex lighting automations and artistic scenes can be created through simple conversation, removing the technical barriers that have often limited users to basic presets. By allowing the AI to compose light shows in real-time, the system promises a level of personalization and dynamism previously unattainable in consumer-grade lighting.

Redefining the Outdoors with Smart, Sustainable Light

Linkind is extending this intelligence to the outdoors with a renewed focus on sustainable, solar-powered solutions. The company introduced two flagship products designed to transform exterior environments: the SP6 Smart Solar Pathway Light and the SL6C Aura Smart Solar Spotlight.

The SP6 stands out with a feature Linkind claims is a world's first for a smart solar pathway light: app-controlled pattern switching. Traditionally, changing the light pattern projected by a pathway light required a manual swap of physical lenses. The SP6 digitizes this process, allowing users to select from five distinct patterns, such as 'Ripple' or 'Radial,' directly within the AiDot app. This, combined with full RGBW color control and music synchronization, allows for dynamic and artistic landscape designs without physical intervention.

Powering these outdoor innovations is Linkind’s proprietary SolarDot™ technology. This isn't just a standard solar panel and battery; it's an intelligent energy platform. Research into the technology reveals it employs an advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm to maximize energy capture even in suboptimal conditions. The system is reportedly efficient enough to charge in light levels as low as 500 lux, a significant advantage on overcast days or in shaded areas. Furthermore, SolarDot™ uses adaptive power management, adjusting brightness based on available energy to ensure reliable, year-round performance and up to 14 hours of light on a full charge. These lights also form their own self-healing Bluetooth Mesh network, supporting up to 96 devices without a central hub or Wi-Fi, ensuring robust control across large properties.

A Unified Language for Indoor and Immersive Spaces

Bringing its ecosystem indoors, Linkind presented the T19 Smart Light Stick, a modular lighting engine designed for versatility and creative expression. The T19 is not a single lamp but a foundational component that can be adapted into pendants, sconces, and table or floor lamps. It features segmented, multi-zone color control powered by the AuraScape™ platform, which enables layered, gradient-like effects for what the company calls “spatial storytelling.” By creating a modular engine, Linkind aims to establish a consistent lighting language that can be deployed throughout the home, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic and user experience. This places the T9 in a competitive market alongside established modular lighting players like Nanoleaf and Govee, but with a unique, adaptable form factor.

This cohesive experience extends into the living room with the latest evolution of Linkind’s ImmerSpace™ platform. The new ET8 Smart TV Light Strip features an HDMI 2.1 Sync Box, a critical upgrade for modern home theaters and gaming setups. This allows for ultra-low latency synchronization between on-screen content and the room's lighting. The system boasts true HDR color accuracy and can synchronize up to 64 connected Linkind devices, creating a room-wide immersive effect. With 100 points of precision spatial mapping, the platform moves beyond simple backlighting to create an ambient environment that seamlessly links digital content with the physical room, rivaling established systems from competitors like Philips Hue and Govee.

The Power of a Unified Ecosystem

Underpinning all of these hardware innovations is the AiDot ecosystem, which serves as the central nervous system for Linkind's products. The promise of a truly smart home has long been hindered by the fragmentation of brands and platforms, forcing users to juggle multiple apps. AiDot addresses this by providing a single, intuitive app to control a wide range of devices from different manufacturers. Critically, the ecosystem's support for the Matter protocol is a significant selling point. Matter is the industry's new universal standard for smart home connectivity, ensuring that Linkind’s products can integrate seamlessly with major platforms like Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. This commitment to an open standard provides consumers with future-proof flexibility and frees them from being locked into a single brand's walled garden. It is this combination of innovative hardware and a unified, open software platform that truly brings Linkind’s vision of “linking spaces” to life, creating an intelligent lighting environment that is as connected as it is creative.
