About the vendor and its products
Nanoleaf delivers smart lighting products, but often with a unique twist to at least some of the products, which include:
- Light Panels, sets of panels that can be assembled in different patterns (and combined with a Rhythm that makes the light panels visualize music)
- Other types of “light kits”, like Canvas, a different type of panels, and Lines, a type of “rigid” light strips
- Essentials, a new line launched in 2020, currently consisting of a smart bulb and light strip, both boasting of very high lumen values, and based on the Thread protocol
- Smart light bulbs/bulb kits (some of these require a base station), in different lines; Smart Ivy, a black, multifaceted bulb, One, another unconventional bulb, Bloom, a further development of One, and Gem, a more traditional bulb
- Nanoleaf Remote, a twelve-sided remote control that can be used with both Nanoleaf light sources and other Apple Home products
Nanoleaf has its own app, Nanoleaf Smarter Series (opens in a new window), but the products can also be controlled from other apps for compatible platforms. The products are based on the Zigbee protocol and mostly compatible with Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT.

| Nanoleaf Essentials smart lightstrip x 2 | Uninstalled | These are really quite nice, they use Bluetooth/Thread, have good brightness and the possibility of colored light. However, they proved to be unstable in their connection and were therefore uninstalled. |
