Shortly after Nanoleaf unveiled its HomeKit-enabled Shapes Triangles and Mini Triangles in October, Nanoleaf introduced its new Essentials Smart Color Changing LED lamp and LED Lightstrip. The new products are introduced exclusively at Apple, do not require a hub and offer great features such as HomeKit and Thread support.

Nanoleaf CEO Gimmy Chu teased last month that the new Essentials lamp and Lightstrip would arrive in November, and Apple users will be delighted when these new HomeKit accessories hit shelves. Nanoleaf detailed the two new Essentials products in a press release today:

Nanoleaf's latest innovation is making smart lighting more accessible than ever without sacrificing the quality that users know and love of the brand. Lighting that allows you to be both comfortable and productive is essential as we spend more time indoors than ever before. Essentials enables optimal lighting for every day - regardless of whether you work from home, relax before bed or create the ambience for a special night with loved ones.

When introducing the HomePod mini, Apple found that its new smart speaker supports Thread, a standard that provides direct device communication that increases reliability and more. Nanoleaf's Essentials Bulb and Lightstrip are the first smart lighting products to support Thread.

The Essentials will be launched exclusively in Apple stores worldwide and are the first intelligent consumer lighting to work with Thread *, a mesh network with low latency and low power consumption. With Thread, users get improved connectivity, greater control, and the ability to set custom schedules. Thread enables additional smart features and integrations with future updates, including color scenes, screen mirrors, and Rhythm Music Sync (available next month). Users can also set up Essentials through Bluetooth.

When it comes to Nanoleaf's new lightbulb and strip of light that enable "the best possible lighting for every day," the company has developed a new feature called "Circadian Lighting" that is similar to Apple's new HomeKit Adaptive Lighting.

The lightbulb and light strip have a built-in circadian lighting function that allows the lights to automatically adjust the color temperature throughout the day to complement natural daylight and create the perfect ambience for any time of the day. With the brightest white lighting in the smart lighting category, Essentials is ideal for everyday lighting needs. Users can even set a custom timing to adjust the lighting to irregular schedules that are unique to them.

Along with a no-hub design and thread support, the Nanoleaf Bulb Landing for just $ 20 and the Lightstrip for $ 50 make the new products really competitive in the HomeKit market.

We just got our hands on both new smart lights and will be posting a full review shortly.

Here are some more specifications for the Essentials lightbulb with a sharp geometric design:

With the largest maximum brightness range on the market, the Essentials lamp offers the brightest white lighting at all color temperatures (2,700-6,500 K) and illuminates an average brightness of 806 lumens and a maximum brightness of 1,100 lumens. The light bulb itself, with its unique rhombicosidodecahedron shape, is also a work of art that can assert itself without a shadow.

And for the Essentials Lightstrip:

The Lightstrip is also specially equipped with four white LEDs per LED set - two warm and two cold - to achieve the best lighting for your daily needs. It is equipped with 21 LED sets per meter. With a length of 80 inches and extensions of 40 inches, each lightstrip can be easily cut to allow users to adjust it to their own space. You can extend the length up to 10 meters and at the same time ensure optimum brightness (between 2,000 and 2,200 lumens).
