Have this mounted behind my TV. The colors are pure to be used as a bias light, and bright enough to be used as additional room lighting. Super happy with this via Thread connection and Apple Homekit. The one weakness I think is the firmware update process through the Nanoleaf app which is a little finicky. Had to reinstall the app for the firmware update to succeed with this light.

I will start off by saying that these are made very well and work great in the Nanoleaf system/Thread ecosystem. The lights are pretty bright and if you want any cool or warm white lighting, they are extremely bright. The adhesive is good and mounting was easy. The control module can have saved presets or you can connect to Alexa through another Thread devise. Nanoleaf Lines for instance can act as a Thread Bridge which is super convenient. I do wish that the color was RGBIC to allow for per-led lighting control and effects, but at least it can do effects like strobe/flash/change complete color. It works well with Nanoleaf lighting set-ups... HOWEVER, I have noticed that some effects that look good on other nanoleaf products cause some weird extra fast animating of effects with the strips... Overall still like the product.

Easy to install, simple instructions for a simple setup. These really are essential for a gaming room. And you can’t beat the price. Added a photo of my setup without them on and with them on bright white to show just how bright they can get even when behind something. These go on sale from time to time for $40 as well! Nothing bad to say! Just what I needed.

I was hesitant on getting these, but I’m so glade I did. I use Apple HomeKit, they work with that. If you don’t use HomeKit, you can just use the Nanoleaf app. I like all of the brightness, color and scene options. I love that I can set these to come on or off automatically at a certain time. I use these in my home office/craft room and love them. I bought two strips, so there is one on the back edge of each desk and one light bulb on the top shelf.

Warning!!! These light strips dont work for music! Its for ambient lighting. For music syncing, look for nano light strips, not these “essentials”. Anyhoo, these lights are awesome and very user friendly!
