I recently came across the exciting announcement of Nanoleaf’s new Matter Multicolour LED Strip, and I must say, it’s got me pretty intrigued! While I was initially disappointed to hear that it doesn’t use Thread and instead relies on Matter over WiFi, the promise of multiple colours along the strip is undeniably appealing. At 16.4ft (5m) with 300 LEDs, it seems like a fantastic addition for anyone looking to enhance their home’s lighting setup.
The inclusion of a new controller with features like music mode and brightness adjustments adds another layer of functionality that I can’t wait to explore. I’m particularly excited about the potential to synchronize the lights with my music collection, creating a dynamic and immersive atmosphere in my living space.
One thing that caught my attention is the lack of availability on the US Nanoleaf store, though it’s listed on their German site. I wonder if this is just a temporary oversight or if there are plans for a broader release soon. I’m hopeful that it won’t be long before this product becomes widely accessible.
While I appreciate the Matter support for compatibility with Apple Home, I’m a bit bummed that Adaptive Lighting isn’t available. However, the ability to produce cool to warm whites and the full spectrum of colours still makes this strip a versatile option for various lighting needs.
I’m curious to hear from others who might have had the chance to try this strip already. How has it performed in real-world scenarios? Have you noticed any significant differences in brightness or colour accuracy compared to previous models? I’m also wondering about the ease of installation and whether the cutting feature is as straightforward as it seems.
Overall, I’m cautiously optimistic about this new offering from Nanoleaf. It seems like they’re continuing to push the boundaries of smart lighting, and I’m eager to see how this product evolves and what future innovations they have in store. If you’re in the market for a new LED strip, this one is definitely worth keeping an eye on!
