Review: Nanoleaf’s HomeKit-Enabled Lines Offer Futuristic Accent Lighting

This article has been indexed from MacRumors: Mac News and Rumors – Front Page

Nanoleaf, known for its HomeKit-enabled accent lights, recently launched its most futuristic and modern looking lighting product yet – Lines. Lines are modular LED light bars that are illuminated at the back and can be arranged into different patterns and shapes for a unique design.

Prior Nanoleaf products have all been panels in various shapes with LED lights in the corners, but the Lines are something entirely different and may appeal to those who don’t care for the panel look. Lines are priced starting at $200, so this is a high-end accent lighting product.

Lines are white plastic light bars that are 11 inches long and .78 inches thick, and the idea is to connect lines together with hexagon-shaped connectors, creating different patterns and designs. The Nanoleaf app can be used for designing a Lines setup, and once a favorite shape has been decided on, the Lines can be mounted to the wall.

Mounting Nanoleaf’s Lines is hassle free. Just make your design, test out the lights, and then transfer the shape to the wall using the adhesive tape. There are detachable plastic plates that hold the adhesive and pull tabs so you can remove the Lines from the wall without damage. It’s probably Nanoleaf’s best setup in terms of relocating/removing the hardware. I took the Lines off of the wall a couple of times to move them and had no issues.

Nanoleaf’s products are HomeKit-enabled, so setup is as simple as opening up the Nanoleaf app and then scanning a HomeKit code. You might run into a snag if you don’t have a 2.4GHz WiFi network available
