Nanoleaf's Line Lights Can Now Be Updated With Different Colored Skins

Nanoleaf is a pretty fun way to add personality to a space. I've considered getting a set, but I'm too much of a minimalist.

Every time I see this photo I can't help but notice that the iMac isn't aligned center.

It’s probably just not my taste but I have never seen any photo of these in use that doesn’t look supremely tacky in a dorm-room-gamer sort of way

That would drive me crazy, especially since the desk could easily be lightened on the wall, the chair should have been pushed in and centered for the picture too.

Just because you are able to find some Chinese knockoffs doesn't mean they are the same quality or have the same functionality. A lot of this stuff is blessed with terrible apps, has no Wifi connectivity, doesn't integrate with the Home app, doesn't work as a light system etc.

You're absolutely right, of course. But who tells us that this stuff is not also made in China? Like most things, actually... I just want to point out how the price horizon of hardware in China is. While Apple completes its e.g. there produced hardware with a lot of costly development and service and generally makes it possible, I recognize with Nanoleaf only a possible UL approval as American own work, the development effort is insignificant, the cost difference is huge.

Usually, people here then use the term greed.

These actually look halfway decent. I'm a fan of indirect light on the walls. I have a few lights that I shine up on the wall behind my Mac to give a good backlight and reduce glare. The other Nanoleaf stuff screamed Twitch gamer to me. This is a bit more subtle and doesn't suffer from the uneven lighting panels since it's indirect. I'm more interested in being able to change the white light temperature throughout the day since I don't have windows. I may even rig up a light sensor outside to control the light level indoors so it feels more natural and not only changes throughout the day but with passing clouds, etc. At some point I think I'm going to build a large desk into the 10ft nook where my office is in my studio space and I may incorporate this into the design when planning. Sounds like a fun project for winter this year. I'm excited to do some next-level built-in cable management and make everything look super slick and tidy. I want to find a large 10ft x 2ft x 2in thick slab of hardwood, if possible, to span the entire nook. Right now I have a sturdy steel case style desk that is awkward in the space as it doesn't span all the way and sticks out on one end and looks drab.

Buy on the Internet, and look at Chinese suppliers and prices for similar products. In China, there are many panels with touch or app-controllable stuff and everything in a wide variety. What you write is absolutely wrong in content. Why are you writing this?

Because most of that crap is garbage that isn't UL listed and may burn my house down.
