Nanoleaf has just released its new 4D Screen Mirror Light Strip Kit. This is an RGB LED lighting kit that can capture the colors on your TV and mirror them as ambient lighting around your TV. We've seen this type of kit from other brands, but Nanoleaf brings some new features to the table that makes this a step up from the competition. It's currently only available directly from their site in two sizes and prices start at $99.99.
Nanoleaf 4D Screen Mirror + Lightstrip Kit (TVs & Monitors Up to 65″)
The Nanoleaf 4D kit comes with a strip of RGB LEDs and a camera. The LED strip mounts behind your TV. Although it only comes in 65" and 85" sizes, the strips are trimmable to fit pretty much any size TV on the market. These aren't cheap LEDs either. The strips have 10 distinct color zones across 30 RGBIC LEDs per meter. If you're using the 65" strip, that's a total of 120 LEDs with 40 different color zones. The camera is mounted to the top of your TV and faces the screen. It's function is to capture what colors are being displayed and signals the strips to display the proper colors in the proper areas. The "4D" monikor on this light strip simply means that the kit is capable of identifying unique lighting scenes in different areas of the TV and display the corresponding colors in that particular location.
Like other Nanoleaf panels, the light kit communicates via 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/m WiFi, which is far more reliable than Bluetooth. You can control your settings via the Nanoleaf app on your smartphone or your PC. It's also compatible with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT, SmartThings, and Razer Chroma. If you already have Nanoleaf light panels, a really cool feature is the ability to pair your other panels to this kit as well. If the LED light strip isn't enough of a light show, you can have your entire room pulse and sync to the colors on your TV. As far as I know, no other TV mirroring light kit offers that functionality at this price.
