The new Nanoleaf Matter Smart Multicolor Outdoor String Lights are designed to illuminate your outdoor spaces with a dash of color and smart functionality.

Nanoleaf, maker of smart-lighting products from modular light panels to smart bulbs, introduced its first dedicated outdoor lighting solution at CES 2024. And now, at last, you can purchase Matter Smart Multicolor Outdoor String Lights to class up your outdoor spaces in time for warmer weather.

Product design and features

Nanoleaf’s new outdoor string lights look a bit different from many traditional string lights. The geometric form factor adds an aesthetic touch while creating multidimensional lighting effects.

These string lights come with addressable, color-changing LED bulbs. This means each bulb can display a different color, enabling dynamic, flowing color gradients. They are also IP65 water-resistant, making them ideal for outdoor use, rain or shine.

Smart functionality

Nanoleaf’s new outdoor lights work with multiple smart home platforms, including Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Samsung SmartThings.

That means you can control your lights using voice commands or through the respective smart home ecosystem apps. Additionally, the lights can be controlled via Nanoleaf’s app over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The string lights also come with an easy-access controller for quick adjustments. You can turn your string lights On/Off, adjust brightness or cycle through various colors.

Advanced features

Beyond the core functionalities, the Matter Smart Multicolor Outdoor String Lights pack several advanced features. Users can create custom color palettes and motions for dynamic multicolor scenes. The lights can also respond to music, creating a synchronized light show.

The lights integrate with the Nanoleaf Orchestrator software, a music visualizer that enables customizable light shows that respond intelligently to music. This software is compatible with all streaming music platforms and audio players.

Matter Smart Multicolor Outdoor String Lights come in two kits — “smarter” and expansion — in three lengths. Smarter kits: 49-foot (15m) is priced at $129.99. The 98-foot (30m) length costs $199.99. And the 148 ft (45m) kit goes for $277.48. Expansion packs (49-foot) are $99.99.
