Nanoleaf, the company best known for its modular wall lighting tiles, is now moving outside your house. As part of CES 2024‘s avalanche of smart home news, the company unveiled its first exterior lights designed to bring extra visibility to your home. It also announced the Orchestrator app that creates a light show synced up to your playlists and songs.
The new Outdoor String Lights and Permanent Outdoor Lights are the company’s first exterior lighting products, bringing “the magic of dynamic gradients and warm ambience to your home’s exterior spaces, lighting up patio areas, backyards and gardens all year round,” the company said.
Nanoleaf also announced a new Smart Multicolor Lightstrip for indoor use. All the new panels work with the Nanoleaf app and integrate with the company’s other products in terms of controls and customizations. You can also group products together to schedule automations using Matter hubs “and paint your own animations with multiple colors… for a stunning gradient effect,” Nanoleaf said. The new products are set to arrive in Spring 2024, with pricing to be revealed at a later date.
The Orchestrator software, meanwhile, can create color and light shows using real-time music analysis and beat detection. It supposedly goes beyond existing music visualizers that simply pick up audio within a space by connecting directly to your computer’s sound source to provide the “most accurate real-time audio-visual experience,” the company said. In other words, you’ll get light shows synced up perfectly to your preferred music apps, including playlists and songs.
Orchestrator, set to arrive in Spring 2024, works via the Nanoleaf desktop app and is compatible with any music streaming platform or audio player. The company also announced that its Skylight Smart Modular Ceiling Light announced last year is now on pre-order at $250 for the Smarter Kit (3 panels), and $70 for each expansion pack (1 panel).
