I bought the GU10 Kajplats Kit (1 remote + 3 bulbs) and separately picked up two individual GU10 Kajplats bulbs. The packaging shows the same bulb for both, but when I actually compared them side by side, they are clearly not the same product.
The individual bulbs have the Matter logo printed directly on them, a QR code on the bulb itself, and a noticeably different PCB, lens, and LED layout. The kit bulbs, on the other hand, have no markings on the bulb at all – just a leaflet inside the box with the QR codes on it.
The individual bulbs paired instantly via Apple Home and my HomePod mini. The kit bulbs refuse to pair no matter what I try. I've already attempted:
- The 6x on/off reset sequence
- Restarting my phone
- Restarting the HomePod mini
Everything else in my setup works perfectly.
Has anyone else noticed that the bulbs inside the kit are physically different from the ones sold separately? It really looks like two different hardware revisions are being sold under the same product name and packaging.
