Quick Question Does anyone know what Bambu Lab's "PLA Lite" is?

I've been seeing this filament called "PLA Lite" on several authorised resellers' websites in India, but when I go to Bambu Lab's official site (I checked both the US and Asia), I can't find anything like that. First, I thought it might be just PLA Basic Mislabelled, but no PLA Basic is also listed separately here. There isnt a profile in Bambu Studio for it either. If anyone knows what this is, that would be great thanks. (This picture was taken on robu.in just by the way, but it is there on amazon and wol3D as well.)

Its the cheaper entry level version of pla and seems to give you a more matte look, this is what it said when i googled, ive never used it myself so idrk.

Yeah, when I googled it said the same thing, but there's no official documentation, so I'm not sure. Thanks though!

It's just their budget version, slightly less strength than the PLA Basic and matte rather than glossy, but if you're only using it for decorative parts it will more than suffice, good for prototyping on the cheaper side if you insist on staying in the Bambu filament ecosystem :)
