Overpriced Chinese-made junk. If you want to telegraph your lack of interior decorating taste to your friends, this is an excellent way to do it.

if i walk into a bedroom like that, i'll make an excuse and leave.
i see these color lightings through people's windows and i don't get it. it's hideous and can't possibly make you feel good. the unit across from me always has this really blue light and they light candles. like wtf would you bother having candle light just to overpower it with artificial blue light?

Did I miscount? It's 36 segments, with 9 for $200, so just $800.
Which, yes, is still way too much.
They need to offer bigger packs at lower prices per line.
Give me 100 for $1000 or something.
“...smart lighting technology with an ultramodern design.” Can someone explain to me what “ultramodern” means? Is there some timescale within which something modern is actually “ultra” modern? Maybe something announced within the last few days, or hours? Or is it quantitative - by heaping layers of “modern” on top on each other, something becomes ultramodern? Or scale? Is there a “nanomodern?” Or is there actually an ultramodern the way there’s a, say, “post-apocalyptic”? While you’re at it, can someone describe why a few scraps of metal, translucent plastic, some LEDs and a circuit board are worth $200?
They still make a healthy profit.
Nowadays these smart thingies are way overpriced.
Just look at Aliexpress prices, while there's quite a bit of junk, there's also decent stuff for about 10% of the prices we pay in the west.
And yes, I do get that people have to have profits, but not that steep.
Wow. One never knows where they will find some music recommendations. Yes, she is gone from Apple Music, but I just tried her on Spotify on my Apple TV and 5.1 sound system and I can totally see how syncing her music up to these lights would be freaky cool.
I've priced the square ones out for my music studio, I think a partial wall came to just over $1,000. That's for an array of those things about 8ft wide and 4 ft high. Pricey. This is great if you have a YouTube channel, I guess. I would have hoped these would come down a bit since the originals have been out for years.
love th
love the lights , the software is awful , still no landscape mode on the ipad . Cmon !!
I think this looks better than some of the other products they make. But only 9 lines for $200? That's not enough to make hardly any pattern. And then you have to pay a lot higher price per bar for the expansion?
I think they pretty much exclusively sell these to Twitch streamers and YouTubers.

I get this, but I have to say that I really like my nano leafs (leaves?). Not very utilitarian but it makes my office space a little more my own. And i think they look cool
This is the way. Hue is super nice, but every hue bulb I have cost $45 - $50 while my nanoleaf bulb cost $20.
On the other hand, Hue has a much larger selection. and their app i'd say is a bit more intuitive than nanoleaf's. This is also a small thing, but when nanoleaf transitions (turns on, off, etc) it just . . . happens. Hue has a cool fade effect. Again, not a big thing - just something i noticed.
interesting. i see they have an iOS app. Are they not homekit compatible? that would be a deal-breaker for me.
