Both Nanoleaf A19-A60 and IKEA KAJPLATS E12 use Thread, so both need a Thread border router.

You want a certificate on the newer Matter release
IKEA KAJPLATS E12’s certificate states Matter 1.4; Nanoleaf A19-A60’s states Matter 1.2 (CSA ledger, read October 19, 2026). The version says which features a certification can cover, not how good a product is, and a device gains newer features only if its maker ships them.

We have not performed hands-on testing. A program built this page on October 28, 2026 from the two catalog records: each CSA certificate and its Matter version on the CSA ledger, the network and platforms the records and the makers’ own pages name, and the stores with a verified link. It does not rank performance, reliability or price. Every “choose” line rests on a table row where the two records differ; where they do not differ, we say so.
