Twinkly revealed a sleek new product at CES 2024 called the Matrix Smart LED Curtain. The company says it’s the curtain with the “highest LED density in its class.” It features up to 500 LED lights that are fully mappable and programmable.

The smart LED curtain is exactly what it sounds like — a massive web of lights that run vertically from a top bar to a bottom bar. And when illuminated, they almost make the Matrix look like a solid curtain. Twinkly designed the smart LED curtain to be easy to install and incredibly lightweight, allowing you to place it in most rooms without any issues.

Using the accompanying smartphone app, you can designate a variety of lighting styles to the Matrix. This includes both static patterns and flowing colors, giving you impressive flexibility to craft a light show that fits your space.

If you’re using the Matrix in a large space, two or more curtains can be chained together. You can even pair them with Twinkly Music, allowing them to synchronize to the beat and create unique patterns that flow across all LEDs.

The Matrix Smart LED Curtain will be available on January 31 with a starting price of $200. Two variants will be up for grabs — a square unit with 480 mappable lights and a vertical unit with 500 mappable lights. Preorders are now open on the Twinkly website.

It’s that time of year again, when families start pulling space heaters out of storage to combat the chilly weather. If you own a Govee space heater, however, it might be time to search for an alternative. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Govee have issued a voluntary recall for over 500,000 Govee and GoveeLife smart electric space heaters. These units do not comply with safety standard UL 1278, indicating a potential for overheating and fire risk from wireless controls.

The recall was issued by the agency on November 7. Impacted models include H7130, H7130101, H7131, H7132, H7133, H7134, and H7135. You’ll find these numbers printed on the label located on the bottom of the space heater. All space heaters also have the words “GoveeLife” or “Govee” on their side. If your space heater is affected, the CPSC recommends that you no longer use the device due to its potential fire risk. The agency also says you can contact Govee for a refund by navigating to the official Govee recall website.
