CES 2020: Nanoleaf Debuts New Learning Series Lighting System, Hexagon-Shaped Panels

by

Ahead of next week's Consumer Electronics Show, Nanoleaf has announced the addition of several new products to its HomeKit-enabled lighting ecosystem, including the Nanoleaf Learning Series and new hexagon light panels.

The Nanoleaf Learning Series is described as an "all-in-one, interactive, intelligent lighting system for the home," designed to learn, sense and react to a user's needs to make it easier for customers to use smart home products.

Nanoleaf says that the Learning Series offers a "system of products" designed to "know when and there you need light" and "how you need it" with minimal need for manual controls. The Learning Series will include the Learning Switch, Learning Button, Learning Bulb, and Learning Gateway.

The Learning Series uses U-IQ technology, which combines a network of sensors (the Learning Series products) and an intelligent learning algorithm. With U-IQ, a room knows when you're approaching and the lights will gradually turn on before you enter. The lights will also change based on the existing light within the space, working in harmony with the sun.

Nanoleaf is aiming to eliminate reliance on apps, voice assistants, and physical switches for controlling smart lights, and the system will become more accurate with more Learning Series sensors installed.

Along with the Learning Series, Nanoleaf is also announcing a new line of interoperable Unified Light Panels, which will have shape interconnectivity.

The first lights in the Unified Light Panel line will include touch-reactive Unified Hexagons that will allow users to create all new configurations ranging from geometric layouts to replicas of characters and shapes.

The Hexagons will be shown off at the Nanoleaf booth and customers can sign up to be notified when pre-orders become available ahead of a spring 2020 launch.

Anyone feel like these get worse every year? The first year was fine with the triangles. Then the square ones have an awful cross pattern from the backlight, and now these don't even line up the colors on the edges. They're like squirclegons. Or more aptly put, blobs.

I don't see a preorder location on the site?
Sorry, had a mixup with the info. It's not up for pre-order, but customers can sign up to get notified when pre-orders become available. I've fixed up the article.
