For the uninitiated, Nanoleaf is a company specialising in LED lighting and has been around for a decade now – the company started in 2012 and launched its first two products with crowdfunding campaigns on Kickstarter. The company recently launched their latest offering, the Lines, and sent a Smarter Kit (really a Starter Kit) over my way for review – and just in time for my own mini-makeover of my study room too.
The Lines is the company’s first set of modular backlit LED light bars that lets you customise to your heart’s delight – down to each bar. The Lines work by having multiple light bars that are attached to connectors in a 60-degree angle. The Smarter Kit comes with nine light bars, or what Nanoleaf calls Light Lines, the same number of mounting hexagonal-shaped connectors, and a connector that doubles as a processor and power unit for the light system. These can be mounted on your walls or ceilings.
Each Light Line on its own is close to 28cm long so nine bars from the one Smarter Kit filled up my wall in the study room quite substantially.
Setting up the Lines is straight-forward and easy, depending on the design you have in mind. The Smarter Kit doesn’t even come with instructions (a QR code points you to an online documentation) and all the parts are, for lack of a better word, fool-proof. The only consideration, and this is key, is making sure to have a design in mind beforehand, and then lay out the light bars on the floor or table to give you a visual of how it might look.
