What’s the difference between RGBIC & RGB?
This Lightstrip is Addressable (RGBIC), which means it’s capable of showcasing multiple colors along the strip at the same time! Non-addressable (RGB) lightstrips on the other hand, can only display one color at a time along the entire strip.
Can this lightstrips only do gradient colors?
This Lightstrip can show a single static color and/or multiple colors at once for dynamic motion effects and gradients. You can also choose from a full range of white lighting temperatures, for cool and warm white.
Can this Lightstrip be trimmed?
You can trim this Lightstrip to a shorter length along any of the indicated cut lines so that it better suits your needs. But keep in mind that any portion of the Lightstrip that is trimmed off cannot be reattached.
Can this Lightstrip be extended?
This Lightstrip is non-extendable, so you cannot connect additional pieces to extend the length.
Can this lightstrip be used to replace my Nanoleaf 4D lightstrip?
No, while both Lightstrips are addressable (you can display multiple colors on them at once), they are not interchangeable.

Beautiful, easy, functional, makes my eyes happy.
Over the last year, I have become a big fan of Nanoleaf products. I find them very reliable, easy to install and use, and wonderfully functional. I recently changed to a dual-monitor setup for work and I wanted to add some lighting to them. Because my monitors are mounted to the wall and I donât move their position, I decided to opt for the 5 meter Nanoleaf Essentials Matter light strips to wrap around the back of both monitors. The length was more than enough so I brought it down to light the back of my desk as well, and these lights are meeting all of my expectations. Wonderful color selection, brightness adjustment, super smooth gradients. I love the âscenesâ function because I was able to create my own gradient that matches the gentle, smooth rainbow gradient that is on my keyboard so everything looks very cohesive. The biggest winning factor for me is the significant reduction of eye strain as my desk is in a darker corner of my home and staring at the screen for nine hours can get difficult. I have tried other cheap RGB strips in the past and all of them left me wanting, especially when they come with those tiny remotes that always get lost, so I am now a loyal customer to Nanoleaf. I love the app, easy installation, hassle-free beautiful lighting that makes my house feel like home. 5/5.

Best non-Hue smart lights
So I want to start off and say I have had a bunch of LED strips, I started with the Cync by GE light strips that kept disconnecting and weâre super unreliable, I replaced those with some Govee light strips that were cheap and reliable but they were dim, didnât have real white LEDs, and were slow to respond. I have hue bulbs all over my house but the Hue light strips are just too expensive.I have an Apple TV 4K to control these lights over Thread, and these lights are just as responsive and reliable as my Phillips Hue bulbs for a lot less money.They are really bright, the box said each strip is 2200 lumens. The colors are also very vibrant but not as bright as the white. The white is also adjustable from a warm tungsten white to a cool daylight, they can also change with the time of day through homekit. So automatically during the day they will be daylight balanced, and at knight they will turn warmer and reduce their blue light output.Homekit integration was super easy, just Sven the weather code in the package or the code printed on the bottom of the controller.They are very well built, the actual hardware feels premium, and they are really sticky.My complaints would be that they are short so you will need a lot of them. Also the cable from the strip to the controller is short also it is flat and stiff making it a little tricky to hide the controller box if you need to.Anyways I would highly recommend these lights, they were easy to set up, cheaper than the hue light strips, far more reliable than the Cync light strips, and are brighter than the Govee light strips with real white LEDs unlike the govees.

Great product, potentionally misleading marketing
I was on the lookout for a ~6ft long homekit-native LED strip – and Thread connectivity was a bonus. This fits that criteria, and it’s a good price.However, they make a couple of claims that I would consider to be… questionable at best.First, the product title says “with remote” – and I think most people would assume that a lightstrip “with a remote” would mean a wireless remote. Cheap $10 strips from overseas have those. But no, they are referring to the fact that the control box, which is attached to the light strip via a 4 inch long cable, has buttons on it that you can press to control the lights. I would call that “on-board controls”, not a “remote”. Be aware of that if you wanted to take advantage of the “remote”.Secondly, the item description says “Dynamic color-changing Scenes with customizable motions like Fade, Highlight, and Random. Transition colors slowly for an ambience that sets the perfect mood, or turn up the speed to get the party started” – BUT, you can only take advantage of that if you use their janky third-party app to control the lights. If you wanted to connect this thing up to your Apple Home and use an automation to fade the lights off – you’re out of luck. With Homekit, all you can do is instantly-switch the lights to whatever color and brightness you want. No fades, no transitions. I really wish there was a simple toggle option to “always fade to requested color”, over 1 second or whatever – EVEN if I have to use their app to configure it the first time.Those gripes out of the way – this is really a nicely-executed Homekit device. It has NFC for adding the device intially as well as having the QR code if your device doesn’t support NFC. It automatically added as Thread since I have a Thread router, and it’s behaved perfectly since added. Always instant response. If they had an upgraded version of this light strip for $10 more that supported pre-configurable transitions, I’d be all over that as well.

Really great product!
Iâve used a few lightstrips before, but the Nanoleaf Essentials Matter is definitely my favorite. It was the easiest light strip set up process via Bluetooth and WiFi.The colors are bright, vivid, and change smoothly adding a nice, cozy vibe to my living room. If youâre looking for a lightstrip thatâs easy to use and looks awesome, this one is worth it and is kind of a steal at the price point

I wanted these sooo bad!
And now that I have them I keep using them like Iâve never seen anything like them before, lol. Having a bridge so you can automate them or use voice commands really makes a difference, if Iâm honest.

I have been using LIFX bulbs for a few years within my Apple HomeKit system. I have just stuck with white, or temperature adjust white bulbs, nothing with full RBG colour yet. I saw these Nanoleaf Essentials light strips (as well as the bulbs which I also purchased) one sale and decided to give them a try. They work very well with my HomePod mini, connecting with the Thread network instead of Bluetooth. The 2 meter kit was perfect length to install behind my 27 inch monitor using the loop corner method, with a few inches of LED to spare.Brightness could be better when using colours, though it is enough for my purpose. When using a white based light the brightness is no issue. I have the LED strip, and regular bulb in the ceiling, to us HomeKits adaptive lighting and this works great. During the work-from-home day I have some lighting that matches outside, feels like I’m just in the sun, in my small spare room with one tiny window.Have had no issues after two weeks, with it not being available within HomeKit, or following voice commands. Responds very quickly. LIFX does not work with adaptive lighting, and their own version in their app requires the light to constantly be turned on, so I had to manually schedule temperature changes for times of day on the LIFX system. These Nanoleaf ones just work as hoped with HomeKit adaptive lighting.I will grab a few more strips and bulbs likely when I catch a sale. Even full price it is competitive compared to competition.I would say its a no brainer if you have a HomePod mini or other thread enabled device.

UPDATE: CONSTANTLY GOES OFFLINE, UNREACHABLE IN HOMEKIT AND IN THE NANOLEADF APPNot as wide or difficult to install as it looks due to how wide the strip is and how thick the plastic shield is.Full native HomeKit compatibility with Adaptive lighting support.Super-bright only in white mode. Colours are dim.Responds quickly over Thread in HomeKit (needs a HomePod). Very slow and laggy over Bluetooth.Nanoleaf Desktop app is HOT GARBAGE on PC and Mac. Slows down the system, reduces 15 FPS in games, does not screen mirror properly, needs to be reconfigured EVERY LAUNCH. Just gave up and uninstalled it,.

Everything works as expected. Great for under cabinets in the Kitchen. Works great with HomeKit too, especially the newer adaptive lighting feature, and the automations!

I would never buy this lights again, itâs simply over prised, the feature are basic, no cool lighting effects, even the lights at the half of the prise we pay have better features then this lights.I would not recommend it unless you have lots of money to spend on such a simple light

great lights, but the chording and actual connection point is poor, needs to be mounted where the connection wonât move so the lights stay on. For 40$ for 2 meters this shouldnât be a concern.
