The Lightstrip itself is about two meters (80 inches) long and a little over a half-inch wide, with about 21 LEDs per meter in groups of five. Nanoleaf says that more Essentials products are on the way, and we’ve seen promotional materials that picture BR30 floodlights, decorative candle bulbs, and GU10 and GU24 downlights, but Nanoleaf hasn’t made any of those lights official yet. There are currently just two products in Nanoleaf’s Essentials line: the Lightstrip reviewed here, and the A19 Essentials color bulb. That alone could be a deal-breaker for smart home users who are deeply invested in Amazon’s smart home ecosystem. įinally, you might have noticed an important smart home integration that the Essentials Lightstrip decidedly doesn not support: Alexa. And speaking of key features, many of them-namely the ability to sync with computer monitors, music, and Nanoleaf’s Shapes light panels-aren’t ready for prime time yet.

This review is part of TechHive’s coverage of the best smart LED bulbs, where you’ll find reviews of the competition’s offerings, plus a buyer’s guide to the features you should consider when shopping this category.Ī cheaper alternative would be to skip the HomePod Mini and control the Lightstrip via Bluetooth doing so, however, means you’ll miss out on some of the Lightstrip’s best features, including the ability to control it outside your home. If you don’t already have one, that adds a hefty premium to the Lightstrip’s cost of entry. Thread requires a “border” router, and the only consumer model on the market right now is Apple’s $99 HomePod Mini. Thread is attractive for a number reasons, including low latency, low power consumption, and-best of all-beefed-up security. For starters, the Lightstrip’s most advanced features depend on Thread, the IP-based wireless protocol backed by such tech stalwarts as Apple, Google, and Samsung.
