Nanoleaf has expanded its smart device product line up to include some affordable smart home lighting options. Just like the panels from the company, you do not need an additional hub. But the feature that makes them stand out is they work with Thread with HomeKit via the HomePod mini.
The Nanoleaf Essentials range comes in E26 and B22 smart bulbs and a 2 meter light strip. But in this review, I will take the smart bulb range through its paces. Although I used the E26 fitting, the B22 is identical other than the fitting type.
So if you are looking for some affordable HomeKit supported smart bulbs that work with Thread. I have installed 4 of these in my home and have put them through some in-depth testing. So continue reading this Nanoleaf Essentials smart bulb review to find out more.

Most people purchase light bulbs to use in their new lamps. I am buying lamps to put my Nanoleaf bulbs in. I love thread!

@stevengeorges9046 Год назад

@FreqWave Beatz Any lamp that takes a regular bulb socket. Just leave the lamp on and the bulb turns itself on and off using your HomePod mini and your iPhone or Suri command.

@mark6ix_ Год назад

@@stevengeorges9046 will the lamp use energy if it is left on all the time or only when the actual light bulb is on?

@MobileLearner Год назад

@@mark6ix_ not too sure but if I had to guess I’d imagine it would use a very small amount of power when the bulb is off. Probably a small fraction of while it’s on

Loved your nanoleaf smart bulb review! The Thread for Apple Home and HomePod mini upgrade is awesome

@ahgflyguy 3 года назад

Lots of reviewers have noted that the essentials bulb does not fall back to Bluetooth when the HomePod mini Thread connection goes offline. It actually does. It just takes 10 to 20 minutes for that to happen. I can see a reviewer not wanting to wait that long to test some aspects that is so not-that-important. But it does fall back to BT gracefully, just kinda slowly. What I find interesting is that if a thread bulb gets power to it cut and then restored, it reconnects to the HomePod mini within about 5 seconds. But if the power to the mini is cut, it can take minutes to hours before it reconnects to the Nanoleaf bulbs using thread. Also, in the Mini is off and you want the bulb to hurry up and connect to other devices via BT, just power cycle the bulb.

@craftrobot 3 года назад

@husokhliqdad3246 3 года назад

Hey I had the same question as well, I ended up gutting a nanoleaf bulb out ( very well built lol) and installed it in a wafer style LED in my recessed lighting so far so good granted only had it in for a day or so gonna keep testing to see how well it performs, the response time is still the same and brightness I was worried about the signal due to the metal can as well as heating issues. However I did contact Nanoleaf and this is what they said to me. “Hey there, Thanks for reaching out to Nanoleaf Support! I'd be glad to assist! We don't recommend putting them in completely enclosed fixtures but recessed cans should be ok as long as there's some airflow. And yes, you can control the Bulbs individually or as a group.”

@tommacdougall 2 года назад

Loved the Nanoleaf bulbs until the most recent firmware update. Presently I'm in the "firmware loop", contacted support and they have been slow to respond and of little use ... referring me to their literature and videos. Now they want a video of me doing a factory reset on each bulb and then they will consider(?) replacing the bulb(s) if I pay the shipping ($10.00 US) each. So if you have any ideas on how to get out of the "firmware loop" it would be greatly appreciated.

@numberl6 3 года назад

recently got one myself - in terms of responsiveness and wireless performance they are great. even better than my WiFi LIFX. but in terms of lighting performance I found them underwhelming. firstly, the brightness when in RGB mode is a lot lower that on LIFX, but I’m not a big RGB fan - if there was a white warm-cool edition only, I’d buy that. however, even in that regard they’re quite disappointing: the standard “white” is very cool, and there is no discernible difference between tones on the lower 40% of the warmth slider: they’re all kinda blueish, but don’t go further than that. when you go in the opposite direction, there is a significant tone shift for even the smallest slider increment, but the brightness begins to drop off towards the end. also there’s flickering that can be detected with the iPhone viewfinder at 60fps and higher (when in white-ambiance mode) I wouldn’t buy more of these, even considering the low price, but since there are no other Thread bulbs on the market, I wouldn’t buy any other bulbs as well

@adaml.5355 3 года назад

Have you tried the recent software update? I know they fixed some of the HomeKit white compatibility.

@TerraMagnus 2 года назад

I think the Thread folks are just now starting to see the kind of response times that us folks have been enjoying in the Zigbee world for years. Considering the shared history of the two transports, it's no surprise. I wouldn't look at these bulbs as general area lighting bulbs. I'd think of them more as something you might put in an accent lamp for mood lighting (though isn't this true of any RGB bulb in any but the tackiest of homes?) Wait until you start seeing cheap store-brand smart bulbs at Home Depot, like we have now for Zigbee bulbs, and you'll start seeing good general purpose options at sane prices.

@@AsaBowes I’ve since added 7 nanoleafs (not all in one go). Every time I add one, it doesn’t have the option to make it adaptive. After a few hours though, it just appears 👍

So apparently this light bulb is not as bright as the Philips Hue 9W colour bulb?

I bought these and I couldn’t have been more disappointed. I have a google hub and an Apple TV 4K. My google home assistant never found these bulbs, the firmware for 2 of the 3 bulbs wouldn’t download. I bought Wiz bulbs to replace them and the wiz bulbs worked great. So it wasn’t anything to do with my system or network. Plus I spent 25 DAYS email the customer service and all they did was send me some RU-vid video links and never addressed the firmware issue. Terrible customer service experience. I asked for a refund even offered to send them the bulbs, but all the offered to do was replace the bulbs which I didn’t want bc they DID NOT work with my google home set up despite being advertised to do so. Such a bad customer service experience zero help or value added.
