Thanks Adam! I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s “bad”… but that probably says more about good Canadian manners than the quality of the LED strip. It’s got it’s place in my home and I’m happy with it. :)
Thanks for the video, Chris. Interesting to have the specs explained, especially the lumens and it’s helpful to weigh the price/value vs. the colour/brightness/features. Keep it up!
Thanks Brad! Yeah I’m a big believer that products all exist for the reasons and it’s just important to understand what you’re use-case is. Thanks for the support!!!
wait... the lumens is only worth it on the peak brightness which usually is at a warm white, in the case of the Nanoleaf lighstrip the warm white is specially good, but the saturation and brightness of any of the colors is on the bad side. not saying the meros is good, but nanoleafs are just a one trick pony
Absolutely. It’s one of those “If you have a large space and want some dim color capabilities” great choice. Anything beyond that though you’ll probably want to look in another direction. :)
i don't have the meross but have had the Nanoleaf lightstrips, so just gonna say that they are only really good at the warm white and they fall so bad at basically any color, red being by far one of the worst i have tried. Saw you are using lumens as a reference point but that number is only real considering the peak of the brightness that it can achieve at warm white, all the other colors are way below that, being on color saturation or brightness. Nanoleaf light strips are only ok at colors if they are your first light strips cuz you don't have a reference point (there's a good amount of HomeKit lightstrips that are way better than Nanoleafs) and they can be great if you are only after warm and cool whites
Hey Samuel! 100% in agreement with you. If I was comparing the Meross against, a "good" color strip, I'd most likely be using the LIFX LED strip as my comparison which is also twice the price of the Meross. My goal in this video was definitely to look at the "budget" options of which the Nanoleaf is probably the best quality of the budget options that I've looked at. I'd love to hear what your favorite lights strips and why? It's always interesting to me to learn how other people see these things as there's so many different use-cases out there!
Not specifically. We don’t have presence location based on phone to that level yet. Best bet for that requirement would be to have a motion/occupancy sensor that would detect you within that range. There is geo-fencing that you could leverage but that tends to be within a larger are. Mine sometimes triggers when I’m a block or two away.
