FULL STORY
======================================================================

Nanoleaf, the company behind some of the best smart lights , has launched a 
new system of LED panels and storage that lets you show off your collections 
while keeping them organized. 

The Nanoleaf Blocks system includes square LED panels in two sizes, which you 
can combine with textured square light panels, pegboards, and shelves to make 
a bespoke layout. 

The Blocks panels are thicker and sturdier than Nanoleaf's earlier square 
panels, with seamless edge-to-edge illumination to create a smooth, even look 
without dark corners or hot spots. The pegboards are particularly 
interesting, giving you a place to store objects like keyboards and 
headphones that you want to use regularly, with light and animations shining 
through the holes behind them. 

As with all Nanoleaf panels, you can use preset 'scenes' to set the mood with 
subtle or dramatic ambient lighting, and the Blocks system includes several 
new options. The new Minimalist scene uses white lights at different 
temperatures, Level Up (shown below) uses fresh blue shades, and Lo-Fi Dreams 
features soft pastel colors. There are thousands of other scenes to choose 
from in the Nanoleaf app too, or you can create your own. The new Level Up 
lighting scene uses lively shades of blue (Image credit: Nanoleaf) Magic and 
mirrors 

Nanoleaf Blocks can respond to sound via the Rhythm Music Visualizer, and you 
can use Screen Mirror to extend the content of your screen (much like a 
Philips Ambilight TV ). There's also Magic Scenes , which lets you type in a 
word or phrase, and uses AI to generate lighting accordingly. For example, 
you might type 'Winter Wonderland' to generate something festive, or enter 
the name of the movie you're about to watch. 

Nanoleaf Blocks are compatible with all the major smart home ecosystems 
(including Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa) so you can control 
them using voice commands or your smart home hub. You can also operate them 
using Nanoleaf's mobile and desktop apps, or with the physical controller 
built into the power cable. You might also like I just tried Nanoleaf's new
