If you have a collection that you want to show, whether it is high-end sneakers, expensive collectible vinyl figures, or something else you want to draw attention, Nanolef’s attention Expo smart LED performance case Outside is worth checking. They are at a price of $ 270 for a pack of four, available for $ 63 with additional expansion cases.
Expo smart matters are led to a decorated display box for collecting. They are rectangular, with white plastic side and front and back with clear plastic. The front panel opens so that the item can be kept inside.
In terms of size and shape, they remind me of shoe boxes that people get to store their sneakers. They are just 15 inches long, 11.4 inches deep and 8.7 inches long. The measures inside are slightly small, so you have about 7.5 inches in height. The height in my test has been the most limited factor, as long collective objects will not fit inside. For shoes, which are definitely designed for these cases, you can fit up to a size 15 sneaker. Nanolef Is a guide Other types of things fit inside, but the weight range is not mentioned. Most collectables that fit, they are not heavy, and the cases are strong, so weight will probably not be a concern for most people.
This ship in flat-pack, and each box has to collect one-one-one. The pieces only go together in one way and it is not very difficult to bring them together, but it took me a good half an hour to install four of them. I found that they are disappointed to some extent because it takes more force as much as you can think that you get them to snap them in place.
Once gathered, they feel strong, even if they are made of plastic. They do not look or feel cheap, but it is clear that they are plastic and not another material. Nanoleaf makes cases of expo only in white, and it is not going to fit for some aesthetics. I suspect that there are lots of collectors that may like black, but white works well to highlight objects inside. Either way, what is the assembly inside the dust free, but Nanolef has not mentioned UV security, so I think it is not included.
Like Nanoleph’s lighting panel, the expo links with the case connectors, which are included in the box. A main controller is the box that provides power and plugs the power adapter, and the rest of the box plugs into it. Nanoleaf designed or stacked them to install them all in a row, so that you can actually create many different designs. No wall mounting is hardware, so they are more designed to go on the floor or to the surface like a desk or shelf.
The controller box has a set of touch-based controls to replace the colors in the box and shine without the app, and I hate them. They use touch activation instead of physical button. The buttons are very sensitive, and if you brush them, they are active. They are also upset for tasks such as resetting the cases of the expo. I must have preferred standard physical button.
I set cases on a set of bookcases in a horizontal line in my office, but I also tested them in two row vertical orientation, and they stack well. There is an indentation at the top of each box that the base of a second box sits for a safe fit, but there is no clip or other mechanism that keeps them in the surface area and other places other than the indentation. I wanted to be able to insert the leggo that I have at the top in cases, but the depression would have been created for an unstable surface, which is something to keep in mind if you want to do something on top. I added some craft foam to a flat surface, and it was working well.
I have seven cases to fit my books wardrobe, but may be connected together by 300. Once you have more than eight cases, you need a 75W power supply unit from Nanolef, which I think is sold separately because the base kit ships with 42W power supply. 75W power supply supports 14 cases, so if you go to that number, you will need two or more power supply. Note that 300 can be added, Nanolef says that you should only stack them 16 highly vertical. There is no limit in a horizontal orientation.
Expo cases connect to the Nanolef app, and are homcomit-capable, so you can access them in the home app and control them with Siri. Thread is also included for better connectivity. Like other nanolef products, they can be set in more than 16 million colors, with various patterns and light sequences which are available in the app. I like Nanolef’s app, and I think the company has done a good job, making it easier to get a full range of different scenes and color options for its products.
You can set the cases of the expo in solid colors or create your own animated views in the app, but also have community -made scenes and AI magic scenes. With community scenes, you can actually download a lot of great colors/patterns combo created by others, and AI Magic view allows you to put in any phrase that has come with AI something. Through the scenes, the expo case is an option to create a playlist to keep a bicycle, and is a rhythm option, which allows the selected colors to shift on time with music that is playing. You can also connect them to PC or Mac setup with other nanoleph lights using Nanolef Desktop App.
Apart from the color, there are many colors of white, which I think is important for the expo cases. Depending on what is inside you, some dark colors and animation can make it harder to focus on materials. If I am showing collectable objects, I generally like them, so I am setting the cases of expo for light colors and white colors (1200k to 6500k). Dark colors look good with sneakers or more simple objects, and backlighting is definitely the eye catching.
You can choose a glow level for cases with a color, and they become quite bright. Nanolef says that they are every 50 lumen, and I usually place them on half brightness or low.
I do not want to review a Nanoleaf without addressing connectivity and customer service, two areas where Nanolef has historically struggled. Older Nanoleaf products may have issues, and I have failed the controller on Arora and Canvas panels. New thread-able products seem more reliable so far, and I have tested expo cases since last August, with only a connectivity hiccup during the setup. They have not disconnected from Wi-Fi since then, and the Nanoleph Skylights I have established since last year have also been stable. My only recent issue was disconnecting with a stalled with Sense+ switch, but now it is fine for a few months.
For my customer service experience, I needed a seventh box and I bought it directly from Nanolef. He accidentally sent me a controller case instead of an expansion case, so I came in touch with support as a regular customer. I got a quick answer, and received a replacement. I have recently seen Nanoleph’s support more active on various social channels such as Reddit, so I think they are trying to improve. I am hoping that new products will have a long life than older devices with low connectivity issues, but will tell time.
Nanoleph’s expo cases come with a two-year warranty and a 30-day withdrawal period (when purchased from Nanolef website).
Ground level
The cases of Nanolef’s expo were clearly designed to show high-end sneaker collection given the shape and size, but they work well for any small collectible. They form pair with other nanolaf lights and for a great desk accessory, room decoration or ambient light source.
It is good to have an ambient lighting option that also has some utility, and the case of Nanolef’s expo is a standard performance case or a solid option to add LED lights to the curios cabinet. I did not like the physical button and I want there to have more color options for those who do not love white, but overall, it is a solid product that is unique and the value for collectors.
I think they are in an expensive side in about $ 67 per case, but the audience, which is targeted for these possibilities, costs a lot on what happens within cases.
how to Buy
