Customers are saying

Customers recognize the Essentials Smart LED Lightstrip Expansion's ease of use and brightness as significant advantages, with many praising its simple setup and vibrant colors. However, some customers wish for longer light strips, citing the current 40-inch length as insufficient for their needs. A few users also reported occasional connectivity issues. Overall, the positive feedback on ease of use and brightness outweighs concerns about length and connectivity.

    We purchased the Nanoleaf LED lightstrip extension in a deal of the day bundle with the full length Nanoleaf lightstrip. We are using the light strip along the upper side of a length of cabinetry, to give background changeable lighting in an alcove. The full lightstrip is quite generous, but the extra meter of LEDs further extends the number of lumens that you can crank out. Adding the extension was simple, an easy plug in. The Nanoleaf responds without a separate hub necessary to Siri commands from a HomePod or AppleTV unit in the WiFi of your home. Color choices and brightness are easily manipulated, with your Apple iPhone or AppleWatch as your mobile Siri commander.

    extends my nanoleaf light strip - I have two of these connected to my light strip and it allows them to reach all the way to the back of my closet so I can see everything. these are definitely brighter than the Hue light strips and less expensive too. Bluetooth connectivity sometimes lagged but after adding a HomePod Mini, which acts as a thread router for these it’s much faster. Plus I can say “hey Siri, turn on the closet lights” and they just turn on.

    I love these light strips. They have the best warm white and white lighting. The colors are easy to dial in, you can save 6 colors for easy access. Siri loves them as well, when I ask Siri to change the lights to 'turquoise', I get a 'voila' from Siri. Best Buy always has the best price

    I'll keep this simple...these strips will get the job done, but they're overpriced for what they accomplish. Being Nanoleaf brand name isn't worth paying the extra bucks for it. If that's what you're looking for, the Govee equivalent is the better buy. Otherwise, you could just go for a cheaper generic brand light strip. The app doesn't always work synchronously with the strips either.

    Super easy to use with my HomePod, i definitely prefer Nanoleaf for that reason. Other brands need smart hubs for HomeKit use, and are also way more expensive. My only complaint is i wish it were a bit stickier

    This product has very bright leds, and is a great extension on the starter pack. The only downside is its a litttle expensive for only 1 meter of light strip.

    I bought this as a gift for my friend's daughter and she loved it. It was easy to set up. which I was worried that they could since her mother and father are not techy, but they did it themselves. A great gift would buy it again.

    Great Light Strips but they do not work with Alexa

    The lights work well, have an infinite number of colors, and the white lights are tuneable to match other lights near these. I was able to cut and connect these strips to meet my needs (connection kit sold separately) without any problems. The only issue is that the manufacturer's website says these work with Alexa, but they do not. The packaging clearly only mentions Google and Thread networks. I have mine connected via thread, and the app works very well. I just wish it worked with Alexa.

    These strips are expensive, but they look amazing. The connectivity through the apple home app is kind of spotty at times, but through the nanoleaf app they work great. Lots of different colors.

    I like the product but i wish the strips would come in a long size instead of just 40 inches should come in 60 or 80 as well. Too many connections have to be made when you have a large tv.

    Lights are amazing and easy to install. Brightness not as bright as I expected, but overall its perfect and switch makes it perfect for backup, in case Smart functionality fails.

    If your base strip functions properly the extension is a very easy to use addition to any Nanoleaf Essentials kit. Just plug and play setup.
