Love the concept - thanks for demonstrating the couple use cases. These seem expensive at first but I can see how Nanoleaf is targeting this for the DIY crowd that might not prefer hiring professionals and / or have limitations due to existing wiring in their homes. Although I do agree with the other comment that hopefully Nanoleaf can get the CRI for their products over 90 like other competitors have already done. You also showed your living room / steps going into the basement - would be interested in seeing if / how you plan to transform the lighting in those areas as well? BTW, we came across your channel recently when we were looking for ways to add lights to the stairs leading to our basement and was recommended your video using the Govee lights - curious if that video might be in a different home than the one in this video?

Thanks again and keep up the great work. 👍 P.S. I have been following for few years and also saw HandyDadTV's video on the Nanoleaf Skylight - which could be reason the YT algorithm recommended your video(s) as well and I am glad it did. 😊

@alexanderpasnl Ай бұрын

So 13 panels in the bedroom come to 1 starterset $270 plus 10 extension tiles $70 each / $700 = $970 total. That's a lot of light, but also a lot of money. On the other hand... Twenty years ago I already sold panels that were very similar, but that was before the app possibilities. Those were panels from 50x50cm contained 4 zones and did cost a whopping $399 for an extension panel. Sold a 3x3 set for €4000 to a school that made a display of 1,5x1,5 meters only. Of course this was new technology back then and they were build to last and aimed for professional installations. Later they came with dmx. But there are tons of cheaper options nowadays. Traxxon moodlights if you like to see what I'm talking about. Before seeing the video I thought you really meant sky lights. I can't remember the brand I worked with, but they were similar to Aspire led ceiling tiles. They're pretty amazing, but outside the medical world it didn't do much over here. But with rgbw nowadays your could mimic a sunrise perfectly. Anywho, love the idea of these tiles, compared with yesterday they're not that expensive, compared with Ali led strips they are. Combined with a popcorn ceiling and your decor in my opinion a complete mismatch. But as long as you are happy with them... Haha. Thanks for showing, love your vids.

Keep up the good work. I always enjoy your videos. A few things about these lights that I really don’t like. The thickness of the panels and the dim area in the middle of each panel. Both dealbreakers for me. Also, I’ve never been happy with Nanoleafs pricing. I’d bet that Govee will have a similar product before long that will be more affordable and probably brighter and more uniformly lit.

@MrSpleenboy Ай бұрын

I mean, it wouldn't be certified, so your insurance might have a word, but you could do something with standard RGBW LED strips, an ESP32 and WLED? You'd also have to make the enclosures if you wanted the same look, which could be a ballache as you'd have to work with acrylic or other material you could use for diffusion, as you would likely not be able to source anything "off the shelf" for that sort of enclosure? Unless you knew of a source of square box ceiling lights with built in diffusers that you could repurpose? For reference, 5m of BTF lighting RGBW LED strip, with 60 LEDs/m costs roughly £50 (probably the same or thereabouts in dollars, 'cos we always get ripped off in the UK! 😉), and you can get 3 ESP32s for ~£21. Anything else you'd spend would depend on the kit you already have, like soldering gear etc. (or connectors, you can buy LED strip connectors too if you don't want to solder) Edit: I forgot to mention power supply - you'd have to do something to get 5v power to the ESP32/LEDs, so you'd need either an external PSU, or internal if you can figure out how to wire it from mains light circuit!- Again, the insurance might have... opinions... on that!

@3hallJ Ай бұрын

I'm doing a room perimeter and would love to have it start and stop in one place and not run a bunch of wires and seperate power supplies. Thanks

@glossyfpv1155 29 күн бұрын

Just commenting to say I've done alot of research since I've posted this and have come to the conclusion that these sort of LED strips whether 5v, 12v, or 24v are just not up to the task of long runs. They are starting to come out with dual data but that doesn't solve only being able to control every 6 leds instead of individual. The sk6812 12v did solve this with the constant current strip but they are very expensive and not for sale everywhere yet. Now if they drop that same sk6812 in 24v thats the change that is needed for long runs without injection. Currently, with 24v I will still need to inject twice in the middle and once on each ends to be able to supply the amperage needed over 72 feet. Once tech advances and these constant current strips become more available, then we will really be in business. Currently its really only made for hobbyists.

As with everything nanoleaf, they look good, look like they're a breeze to set up, and seem to work really well and smoothly, but holy f*^k are they expensive! I just looked up the prices, and they want £230 for a 3 unit starter set, and £70 for each, single, expansion unit... I only say "seem to" work really well, because I have no idea how reliable they are. That said, they're LEDs, so should last many years... As an aside, I notice in the video you mentioned that there's an option in the app to save settings to the cloud - do you know if they allow you to save settings locally? Because that would be a big plus point for nanoleaf, personally. I *really* hate cloud only based IOT stuff, because you're totally dependent on the company staying afloat and keeping the service alive, and have the right to remove functionality from *your* device on a whim.

@@ChrisMaherDIY I'd imagine there's a fairly big markup on it, if you look at the cost of the parts. If they weren't cheaping out on the parts, they wouldn't be using those push connectors for the wires, and I doubt the brains of the main unit is anything more than an ESP32 or similar, which you can buy retail for 5 bucks. I don't blame them, they're pricing themselves as a luxury brand, and all the others do as well - Govee, Hue, and even Aqara are all pricey for what they are. Of all of those, I do like the nanoleaf gear the most - It looks great (some of their stuff looks really classy from the adverts and pictures) and I mean, who doesn't like fun with geometry?!

Hey chris, i’ve recently bought the exact desk that you use, but during assembly i chose the wrong way so the L is on my left instead of right. this is a problem only for the fact that i want to see my pc internals while gaming. If you had any suggestions i’d love to hear it

These would be cool but I would go crazy trying to align them all on the ceiling to be square with the room's walls. I would love to see a DIY 3D printed version with WLED. Hint HINT

Lol that is definitely something I might try doing down the road if I get the motivation! I'll add it to the list of projects I'd like to do!

Biggest concern... Skylight does not support Matter, and that's why I don't buy Nanoleaf

I'll wait for the WLED version

I had my eye on those for a long time when they tease them... I really was disappointed with the product. Mega expensive, not high quality, difficult mounting... So i bough the aqara one...

I give it six months for Govee to rip this off and release at half the price 😂

Why are north American ceilings always popcorn or textured!

Sorry Chris, but nanoleaf suck because they are one color or the other at a time... no gradient lighting ... it would be easier to build your own and they would look sooo much better especially with the WS2812b LEDs.... Just Saiyan...

Those lights are sharp.

Nanoleaf should have been on the home led lighting world but connection issues was their downfall. I still have many nanoleaf products that I don't use because of that issue. Govee has totally taken the top spot from Phillips hue and Nanoleaf.
