frequently asked questions

  • How do I control the Nanoleaf A19 Bulb?

    There are multiple ways to control your Nanoleaf A19 Bulb: with the Nanoleaf App (Turn ON/OFF, control brightness, change colours); with voice commands through Google Assistant or Siri (+ others coming soon); with Touch Actions on your Shapes or Canvas panels.

  • What are the benefits of Thread over Bluetooth?

    You can use both Bluetooth and Thread to connect your smartphone to the A19 Bulb. Bluetooth is simple and easy for hub-free connections right out of the box. By upgrading to Thread with a compatible border router, you will get the benefits of improved reliabilty, fewer dropped connections, increased range and lower power consumption.

  • Do I need a hub to use it?

    No hub is required when using Bluetooth. For the extra benefits of Thread, you will need a compatible border router.

  • Can multiple Essentials Bulbs be controlled together?

    Yes, you can choose to control multiple A19 Bulbs at the same time with the Group Scene function in the Nanoleaf App. Turn on/off, change colours or adjust the brightness of all your Nanoleaf bulbs at once with one tap.

  • Can I sync the Essentials Bulbs with my current Nanoleaf panels?

    Yes, you can sync your Nanoleaf A19 Bulb with any of your Nanoleaf panels but only using Thread.

  • Do the Essentials Bulbs work with Screen Mirror?

    They do not currently work with Screen Mirror (but we are working on it!).

  • Do the Essentials Bulbs get hot?

    While it's the hottest product on the market, the actual LED bulb does not get too hot to touch ;) As with any light bulb, avoid touching the base after use as this area may get hot.

  • Where can I buy Nanoleaf Essentials?

    We ship internationally to most countries from shop.nanoleaf.me. You can also shop in-store or online at Apple stores worldwide.

  • What do I do if I need help with my Essentials products?

    For any issues with your Essentials products, you can check out our Online User Manual or Helpdesk articles for step-be-step troubleshooting directions, or contact our support team at any time.

  • How do I control the Nanoleaf Lightstrips?

    There are multiple ways to control your Nanoleaf Lightstrips: with the attached Controller; with the Nanoleaf App (Turn ON/OFF, control brightness, change colours); with voice commands through Google Assistant or Siri (+ others coming soon); with Touch Actions on your Shapes or Canvas panels.

  • Are they individually addressable? Can they show multiple colours at once?

    No, they are not. The entire Lightstrip can only show 1 colour at a time, but you still have more than 16M colours to choose from!

  • How many Lightstrips can I connect together? What's the max length?

    You can connect eight 1 meter extensions onto your original 2 meter Lightstrip for a total of nine Lightstrips and a max length of 10 meters.

  • Can I cut them or bend them?

    Yes, you can cut and bend them. Just make sure to cut along the indicated cut marks on your Lightstrips.

  • How do I mount Lightstrips?

    The Lightstrips are mounted using the adhesive attached along the strip, with additional adhesive at the back of the Controller for discrete Controller placement. You can find replacement tape at your local hardware or craft store.

  • Are they waterproof?

    No, they are not waterproof.

  • Is there a way to prevent epilepsy triggers in the app?

    If you or someone at home has a history of epilepsy, please be very cautious using this product (as with any light-emitting device). The Nanoleaf App asks for user confirmation before playing any custom scene with patterns matching known triggers for epilepsy, but this is not a guarantee that this product cannot trigger an epilectic seizure in someone with a history of seizures.

  • What are the benefits of Thread over Bluetooth?

    You can use both Bluetooth and Thread to connect your smartphone to the Lightstrip. Bluetooth is simple and easy for hub-free connections right out of the box. By upgrading to Thread with a compatible border router, you will get the benefits of improved reliabilty, fewer dropped connections, increased range and lower power consumption.

  • Do I need a hub to use it?

    No hub is required when using Bluetooth. For the extra benefits of Thread, you will need a compatible border router.

  • Can I sync the Essentials Lightstrips with my current Nanoleaf panels?

    Yes, you can sync your Nanoleaf Lightstrips with any of your Nanoleaf panels. Please note that using Schedules with Essentials will require a Thread connection.

  • Do the Essentials Lightstrips work with Screen Mirror?

    They do not currently work with Screen Mirror (but we are working on it!).

  • Where can I buy Nanoleaf Essentials?

    We ship internationally to most countries from shop.nanoleaf.me. You can also shop in-store or online at Apple stores worldwide.

  • What do I do if I need help with my Essentials products?
