Nanoleaf Launches $80 Matter‑Compatible Multicolor Ceiling Light

The low‑cost fixture widens cross‑platform smart‑home choices while advanced per‑zone gradient effects remain available only through Nanoleaf’s app.

Overview

  • Nanoleaf announced the Smart Multicolor Ceiling Light on Tuesday and listed it for immediate sale online for $80 through its website and retailers.
  • The fixture supports the Matter standard over Wi‑Fi so it can be discovered and used with Apple Home, Google Home, and Alexa for basic on/off, brightness, and single‑color control.
  • Fine‑grained multi‑zone gradients and complex color scenes are not supported by Matter or HomeKit, so users must use the Nanoleaf app to set per‑zone colors and gradient effects.
  • Nanoleaf lists 196 LEDs, up to 2,600 lumens, 28 color zones, a 2,200K–6,500K white range, CRI 95 and RG0 low‑blue‑light tech, and a dual downlight/backlight design with music sync.
  • The light is a hard‑wired ceiling replacement meant for standard wall switches or Nanoleaf’s Sense+ wireless switch, and published reports disagree slightly on diameter (about 12.6–13.8 inches), which buyers should confirm for fit.
