Nanoleaf Unveils $80 Smart Multicolor Ceiling Light

Matter compatibility provides basic cross-platform control, with per‑zone color effects available only through the Nanoleaf app because Matter does not yet support zone-level control.

Overview

  • Nanoleaf launched the Smart Multicolor Ceiling Light as a hardwired fixture sold for $80 and available now on the company website.
  • The circular unit has 196 LEDs, up to 2,600 lumens, 28 color zones, a 2,200K–6,500K white range, and a top light strip that can sync with music.
  • The light supports Matter over Wi‑Fi so major smart-home platforms can turn it on and change overall color and brightness through a common protocol.
  • Fine-grained per‑zone color control and multi‑color gradients require the Nanoleaf app because the Matter standard currently lacks zone-level color commands.
  • At 12.6–13.8 inches across, the fixture is smaller than competitors from LIFX and Govee but undercuts them on price, which may matter to buyers weighing brightness, size, and where they want to control advanced effects.
