Bulbs are great BUT
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If your trying to build a smart home do your research on the connectivity. In order to add a 20$ lightbulb to my apple home you need an 100-300$ accessory from apple to use a feature that used to be built into the iphones. They Changed it via software update and now you need an apple tv, or there smart speakers. Which in a day where all tvs are smart and everyone has soundbars that have assistants built into them its just a cash grab from apple.

Won’t be buying anything Nanoleaf
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Should’ve saved the box and returned. The bulbs are consistently “not responding”. Tried every trick to make them work, however they are still terrible. What makes matters worse is I bought 2 packs of these bulbs.

Lights are good, Configuration can be a nightmare
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Brightness is good. Color accuracy is ok. Pairing and connecting was not good. Two lights did not want to connect to the matter network (which in my case is Homekit). One light did not maintain its power-loss state after being switched off and on even though I specified it to. Firmware updates were not taking, even after saying they were completed; the version would keep showing the prior version after closing and opening the app. But now they all work fine based on things I learned, after a rough few hours and a weekend of testing. CRITICAL NOTES FOR CONFIGURATION: Even after you have successfully completed pairing, setting up and connecting the bulb to the matter network, and the app tells you it’s “ready”, YOU MUST KEEP POWER GOING TO THE BULB FOR MANY HOURS TO LET IT FULLY CONFIGURE. You can still turn it “off” with the app, but do not turn off the power switch going to it. If you somehow mess up the configuration or connection to the matter network, you have to factory reset the bulb; no getting around it. (Factory resetting is done by turning the light on for one second and off for 3 seconds, 5 times. It should blink red when done successfully). I left the light switches on for a full weekend just to completely make sure. Now they all work great, firmware is all current, and all are connected. They maintain their power loss state, connect to matter, all fine. DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO UPDATE FIRMWARE UNTIL YOU HAVE LEFT BULBS CONNECTED AND POWERED FOR A FEW HOURS. Again, there is background configuration that needs to be completed after connecting before doing anything with these bulbs after initially connecting, even though to app will let you.

Posted .Sorry for this trouble😓 We will make sure we help you with this! The New Matter-enabled lights work over Thread, So they require a Matter-compatible smart home hub and a Thread border router. There were also firmware updates recently that should help with making sure they work better. iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS 16.5 were also released to production. We appreciate your patience with us on this and all the tips and procedures that worked for you here.

Spotty HomeKit Actions
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own a few smart plugs to control lights and decided to try smart bulbs. I liked the idea of controlling the color and dimming. These bulbs are Matter-based and also work with HomeKit. I ran into two main issues. 1) When you link the Nanoleaf App to Apple's Home app, the Nanoleaf app seems to override any future changes you make in Home. For example, if you rename a bulb in Home and then open Nanoleaf, it changes it back. But you need the Nanoleaf app for firmware updates. Frustrating. 2) The bigger issue is that sometimes the bulbs fail to work with any HomeKit automation. I will ask Siri to run a Scene that should turn all three lights on, and one won't come on. I can ask Siri to change the brightness on that bulb that didn't turn on, and it will work. Or I can go into the Home app and adjust the light. The bulbs work about 80% of the time. But nothing is more frustrating than coming home at night to find a dark room because the bulb didn't respond to the automation. And it's not limited to just one bulb. All three end up failing to respond at some point during the week. I recommend using regular bulbs and a Matter-enabled smart plug, such as Eve Home. You won't have the dimming or colors, but you will have a solid on/off function.

They work well after bumps. Decent lumens
|Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a few of these lights throught my house and moms. Outside 6 (3 are the non matter) which all work with Apple HomeKit seamlessly, i will admit getting them past the first update was a pain in the butt. It took a while of sitting by the light. I recommend placing in a lamp you can hover around get updated, keep living life. Move it too its home, once updated the lughtd just work in Homekit and for the most part Google home (havent used much. There are three if these lights in a light post outside and asecond one with two about 100ft away and then one more on a light fixure on the house about 50 feet from the two. All of them work in a mesh format to talk to my hubs (Apple tv/Google Hub) with little issues. (Power outlets with gfi and water exposure risk triping on these lights)

Working good with google home
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these after reading all the terrible reviews about their connectivity because lets face it: i like new technology and I wanted to see how these matter over thread lights work compared to my wifi based GE Cync lights. Note: I've only had these for a couple hours now and i plan on updating this review if things change. IMPRESSIONS: They look okay i suppose, not a fan of the anglular bulb aesthetic, wouldn't use these without a lampshade thats for sure. SETUP: They setup was super simple, i screwed them in and by the time i opened my phone (or even the google home app) a message prompted me that it found a new light to setup. The whole process for three bulbs took about 7 minutes. PERFORMANCE: Their color is decent, brightness is on par with the Cync bulbs, and they are usually faster but never slower to receive commands. Also the cync bulbs would sometimes fail to switch colors but these have gotten every command without a misstep. FINAL THOUGHTS: For the price i cant complain so far, however I have not used the nano leaf app, only the Google home app to set these up. I have read that trying to update them with the nano leaf app before waiting a few hours for them to fully configure with the power left on will result in needing to reset them. I would recommend these for anyone looking for a reliability upgrade over wifi based bulbs IF you are using google (and have a nest hub/nest hub max) as your home controller.

Vibrant Colors and Smart Features - Nanoleaf Bulb
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased the Nanoleaf Colored Lightbulb Pack of 3 and I'm thoroughly impressed. These bulbs have transformed the ambiance of my home with their vibrant and adjustable colors. Installation was a breeze, and I had them synced with my smart home system in no time.

Good, Not Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really easy to set up and pretty bright, but they don’t sync up most times. I have four of them linked together, but whenever o change the color, one or two of them almost always don’t change to the right color. I’ll have three go to orange and one either go to a shade different or a completely different color. This almost always happens and I have to play around to get all of them the same color.

Besutiful Lighting Options

There are thousands of variations because of the many color, temperature, and brightness options, making it possible to find the perfect lighting for your room. I have this light bulb in a desk lamp in my room and I love changing it to adapt to my needs. I 100% reccomend buying this to anyone who has an iPhone, homepod, iPad, etc.

Great basic bulbs, still needs work.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bulbs are okay. Firmware updates are a bit tedious when doing large number of bulbs. Connectivity is great when it’s working but when you run into issues it’s a bit horrendous to fix. Most issues stem from bulbs in lamps or after power loss. Also the bulbs don’t sync with other products by the same company so that is a major letdown. All the other companies have this feature and it’s highly requested on forums so buyer beware. Other than that these are very bright and overall work well and have okay color accuracy minus purples. All the Nanoleaf products actually really struggle with purples for some reason. If you’re looking for a reliable bulb with some basic features it’s worth checking these out for the price point.

Worthless. Two days of my life I won't get back.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I read the other negative reviews, and thought - hey, I'm tech savvy, this is probably just people who don't understand tech. I bought three boxes (nine) of these. I spent two days trying to pair these with my Amazon Echo Thread/Matter network before I finally got them working. The Android app didn't work at all, I was only able to pair them using iOS (iPad) and then each bulb required upwards of four attempts ONLY AFTER a long firmware upgrade. I have another Thread network; I was unable to pair any of them with that. Now, three days later - only one of nine is still paired with the Echo. The bulbs, when they worked, had great color. My guess is that Nanoleaf tried to get these out to market to be "first" with Matter-enabled bulbs, and neglected to get their firmware (in the bulbs) and software (apps) figured out.
