Nanoleaf is a pioneer in modern smart home, paving the way by continuously working to redefine the space. We achieve this by following one simple rule: if something already exists on the market, we won’t do it—unless we can do it better.
By “rethinking what’s possible” and pursuing constant innovation with our technology and designs, at Nanoleaf we are able to create products unlike anything ever seen before and explore the potential of what smart home can truly be.
Nanoleaf is a technology and IoT company changing the world with the most innovative smart home solutions that transform ordinary experiences into extraordinary ones. By infusing thoughtful design and technological intelligence in their products, Nanoleaf is ushering in a new era of the smart home that centers around complete personalization. Every product created by Nanoleaf embodies our philosophy of ‘Smarter by Design.’
Nanoleaf was founded in 2012 by three engineers wanting to shake up the lighting industry. The company now has a global presence with offices in Toronto, Shenzhen, Paris, Hong Kong and Philippines. Made up of a diverse team of passionate out-of-the-box thinking problem-solvers, Nanoleaf strives to transform and reshape the way we experience our world.
Three UofT grads discover their shared passion for the green technology and create the world’s most energy efficient light bulb!
From 2013-2014 we were able to release the Nanoleaf One and Nanoleaf Bloom with the help of 5746 Kickstarter Backers, surpassing our initial funding goal by 10x!
Our mission to “Rethink What’s Possible” and go beyond the regular bulb led to the creation of the original Light Panels with a Music Visualizer that revolutionized the smart lighting game.
From 2019-2020 Touch-enabled Canvas Squares, Shapes (with Connect+) and Thread-enabled Essentials join the lineup, bringing with them new personalized features and design possibilities.
Nanoleaf defies expectations and expands the smart lighting decor category with Elements Wood Look Panels and Lines Backlit Light Bars.
Whether you’ve been around since the very beginning or just found us today, thank you for believing in us as we continue creating products that make your daily experiences extraordinary.
We firmly believe that to create a winning product, great technology and great design must go hand in hand. There can be no compromises when it comes to user experience.
With every product we design, we start with why we want to build a product in the first place. Everything centers around what problem it will solve, what value it can add to people’s lives, and why it will matter to our customers.
We aim to create products that just work. We want to create things that can easily assimilate into your daily life, so we focus our approach in creating products that are intuitive and easy to use.
Our end goal is to have our consumers fall in love with our designs. To do this, we make sure we actively listen to our customers and learn who they are as individuals, followed by rigorous market testing to ensure that we avoid designing with bias, and truly cater to the needs of our end users.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties, and collected data is anonymised and aggregated to cohorts wherever possible. "First Party" cookies refers to data usage on this website, and generally cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality. "Third Party" cookies refers to cookies which are stored in your browser and accessible by a third party vendor. Please see the appropriate tabs for more information.
We use your IP address to determine the country which you're connecting from and suggest the locale which is most relevant to your physical location (localizing product information, availability, and currency). Data processing is conducted on the client side (your browser), and your location preference is stored in a cookie in your browser. Pinpointing your location by this service is restricted to the country level, and is not sent to our servers for storage or further analysis.
We use the preferred language settings provided by the user-agent of your browser to suggest content which is available in your language. Data processing is conducted on the client side (your browser), and your language preference is stored in a cookie in your browser. This information is not sent to our servers for storage or further analysis.
Upon login with an eligible Nanoleaf account, we generate a hashed and anonymised token and store it in your browser. This facilitates single sign on for various accounts that you use to interact with our products and services (Nanoleaf Shop, Nanoleaf Helpdesk, Nanoleaf App, and/or Nanoleaf Cloud). This token does interact with third party services if you log into our website, but is designed in such a way that it cannot be used to identify you without access to additional data (specifically, a database containing information registered in any of your Nanoleaf user accounts). For more information on these interactions, please review the "Third Party" and "Data Vendors" sections.
We use Google Analytics to analyze aggregate behavior on our website, with the goal of using these aggregated data sets to improve user experience, website performance, and relevance of the content that we publish. We do not use the user-id-session collection function, and do not analyze individual user sessions using Google Analytics. We do create remarketing lists with Google Analytics, which at aggregate are used to improve the relevance of paid advertising for users who have not opted out of data collection with Google (please see the "Data Vendors" tab for opt-out instructions). These lists cannot be used by Nanoleaf to personally identify you. On the European locales of our website, IP addresses are anonymised by local servers before data is processed by Google Analytics.

At aggregate, this data is used to improve the targeting of advertising to visitors on Facebook, Instagram, and other properties owned by Meta (primarily by identifying "like" users on these platforms who may find the advertisements relevant).
