Nanoleaf Brings New Shapes To Your Walls And Sculptures To Your Garden
Rope Light (left) and Solar Garden Light (right) If you're a fan of Nanoleaf and their programmable lighting, capable of achieving over 16 million color combinations, you'll be a fan of today's product launch. If you're a fan of Nanoleaf's ever-expanding outdoor lighting options, that are weatherproofed and capable of multiple animated scenes and colors, you'll also be a fan of today's launch announcement. If you'd just like to be able to walk into your local Walmart and buy Nanoleaf products without having to order them online…guess what? Nanoleaf had a busy day, launching two very different lighting solutions and announcing a distribution deal with one of the largest retailers in the country. Flexible to ensure you can craft just about anything The Nanoleaf Rope Light leverages the same kind of ultra-flexible, multicolor LED rope found in their recently-launched Multicolor Floor Lamp but ditches the rigid housing to give you more design options. The Rope Light is RGB-addressable and comes in 5m lengths, with a soft silicone diffuser over top that gives it an even glow. Each starter pack comes with 30 wall mounts, giving you everything you need to create a unique lighting installation on your wall. The Rope Light is fairly easy to work with in person, but you'll want to make sure you take your time and plan your shape. The adhesive on the back of each clip is really only good to mark a spot — the included screws are necessary to ensure everything stays in place. You won't be able to get sharp angles out of the soft rope light but I was able to make a backlit frame for a picture in my office with very little setup. With little to know artistic skill, you too can create a square (Nanoleaf Rope Light behind the ... More center framed picture) The Rope Lights of course integrate with the Nanoleaf app, which means they can be programmed with dynamic effects, gradients, and more (I'm partial to a an 80's-neon Miami scene, myself). It also works with the Nanoleaf Desktop App, to sync to your games and media, and 4d Sync+, to provide even more lighting options for your TV. The Rope Light set up easily over WiFi, but you can also use Bluetooth. It's Matter-compatible, which means you can integrate it into all your Apple Home schedules. There's also an in-line controller if you don't feel like connecting to anything and just want to make the pretty lights glow. For the (literal) flexibility you get with the Rope Light, it's surprisingly inexpensive at $69.99. Solar Garden Lights Nanoleaf is also launching their first-ever solar-powered lights. The Solar Garden Lights look a bit like a deconstructed flower sculpture and install in minutes. They sport a IP65 weatherproof rating and have eight LED bulbs per fixture, each on a flexible black stalk. They come with two sizes of garden stake and mounting hardware for the solar panel controller, giving you even more solutions. They don't connect to the Nanoleaf app, so you're limited to just eight RGB colors and 11 preset animated multicolor scenes (accessed via remote control). You can also just tune them to the brightness and white level that works for your outdoor decoration and leave it at that. It's a bit disappointing, I'd love to be able to sync these up to the Permanent Outdoor Lights, but it's just enough versatility that it'll work with just about any season's illumination. The panel has a long wired cable to give you plenty of options for placement. The solar panel controller has built-in daylight sensors that automatically turn the lights on at dusk and off at dawn or auto-off timers for 4, 6, or 8 hours if you'd rather have them on for a fixed amount of time. If solar power isn't sufficient, you can also charge them via USB-C. The remote control can control up to 20 lights…though I did have some difficulty getting my lights to sync up to the same scene. I had to sync the scenes manually through the solar panel controller first. These are also surprisingly inexpensive at $49.99 for a 2-pk. You can also get packs of 6 for $134.99 or 12 for $250. Especially with the ability to control up to 20 at once, I can see these being a bit of an impulse buy. And how am I going to impulse buy the Solar Garden Lights? Well, now that Nanoleaf has expanded to launch their product into Walmart stores, it'll be even easier. In addition to the Rope Light and Solar Garden Lights, Nanoleaf will have their recently launched Pegboard Desk Dock, new pack sizes for their ubiquitous Shapes, more pack sizes for Blocks (one of my favorite Nanoleaf launches), and more. Nanoleaf has been consistently reliable with their tech and keep on coming up with fun ways to cram even more LEDs into more things. Given the versatility of their products, I see this being a big step for the company.

Nanoleaf reveals two gorgeous new smart lights for your home and garden
Nanoleaf is one of the biggest names in smart lights, offering a variety of bulbs, panels, and even a unique skylight with support for over 16 million colors. That lineup is expanding today with the launch of the Nanoleaf Rope Light and Nanoleaf Solar Garden Light — two striking new products that look like an excellent way to bring a pop of color into your home. The Nanoleaf Solar Garden Light is arguably the most exciting of the two, as the company hasn't ventured into the outdoor space too often. Sold as a two-pack for $50, the Garden Light is Nanoleaf's first-ever solar-powered lighting solution. Built with an IP65 weatherproof rating, eight LED branches that splay out from a central stem, a built-in daylight sensor to toggle the lights on and off, and support for a variety of RGB colors plus tunable whites, it should make a fun companion for most outdoor spaces. Recommended Videos If the solar panel isn't enough to keep the lights juiced up, you can give them additional power via a USB-C port. The Nanoleaf Solar Garden Lights join the existing Nanoleaf Outdoor Essentials catalog, which includes the Outdoor String Lights and Permanent Outdoor Lights. Nanoleaf also revealed the Rope Light. Created to be highly flexible for added customization options, the five-meter rope can bend and twist in any direction — allowing you to whirl it up into a variety of designs. It offers addressable RGB lighting, a silicone diffuser for smooth illumination, and highly customizable colors and patterns thanks to the Nanoleaf App. It's available now for $70. Along with revealing two new products, Nanoleaf also announced it'll be rolling out products to over 2,500 Walmart locations. So if you prefer to shop in person, be sure to keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks as Nanoleaf finalizes its massive brick-and-mortar rollout.

These Nanoleaf smart lights make me want to spend more time in my garden
I'm a big fan of smart lighting products, with connected bulbs all throughout my home. But my outside space is a little… lacking, shall we say. Fortunately, Nanoleaf just dropped two new additions to its line-up, and finally my patio might be about to get an upgrade. Nanoleaf's newest devices are the Rope Light and Solar Garden Lights. One's designed to twist and turn into whatever squiggly light-up nonsense your creative brain conjures up, and the other makes your garden look pretty magical. Read more: How to choose a smart lighting system First up is the Rope Light – imagine an RGB rave noodle, but posh. It's 5 metres of ultra-flexible silicone-coated splendour that you can shape into anything. With animated gradients and dynamic lighting effects, you can turn any room into a light show, synced with your music or your latest binge-watch. It plays nice with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and even Matter. You can control it via Nanoleaf's app, voice, or the inline remote. Personally, I'm glad there's an option you can use without having to tap your smartphone. But it's the Solar Garden Lights that really caught my eye. For starters, they're solar-powered, which means I can feel just a smidge green-fingered while I light up my garden. Each light fixture comes with eight LED bulbs and weatherproofing that laughs in the face of drizzle (IP65, specifically). They can cycle through 8 vibrant RGB colours and come with 11 preset animated scenes. Or if you're feeling a bit more minimalist, there's a palette of warm and cool whites to keep things tasteful. The built-in daylight sensors mean Nanoleaf's Solar Lights switch on at dusk and off at dawn. You can even charge them via USB-C if the weather's not cooperating, and there's a remote to control up to 20 fixtures at once. The Rope Light is available to order directly from Nanoleaf for £80/€90. The Solar Garden Lights, meanwhile, are up for pre-order at £50/€60. If you're quick, there's a 10% early bird discount up for grabs.
