Nanoleaf Smart Multicolor Floor Lamp review: a deceptively simple and affordable light with an app that could be more user friendly

If there’s one thing I’ve come to appreciate about Nanoleaf’s sensible lights for the reason that launch of the first-generation Essentials Smart Bulb, it is the corporate’s skill to supply glorious merchandise at an reasonably priced worth. And that is been carried over to the Nanoleaf Good Multicolor Flooring Lamp, which was first revealed at CES in January 2025. It’s one of many cheaper sensible ground lamps accessible on the time of writing and performs splendidly properly, which suggests you get good worth for cash right here.

There’s nothing notably standout about it – I suppose which may partly clarify the cheaper price level – nevertheless it’s nonetheless packed stuffed with options, together with reacting to sound, display screen mirroring and in depth customizable mild scenes. There’s even AI-enabled customizations right here – simply kind a phrase and the app will spew out an applicable mild coloration palette.

It does require some meeting, which I used to be a little bit apprehensive about initially, however a little bit assist from a brief YouTube video from Nanoleaf had the lamp able to be switched on in lower than 20 minutes.

When you’re new to Nanoleaf, you’ll have a simple time of pairing it through the companion app – accessible for each iOS and Android – however I ought to point out that as somebody who’s had a number of Nanoleaf merchandise over the previous few years, I bumped into hassle as I hadn’t used lots of them in a very long time. I saved getting popup warnings that every one my different Nanoleaf lights had been offline, and that prevented me from connecting the ground lamp. Making an attempt to pair each again was a depressing expertise, so I ended up deleting them – apart from the Nanoleaf Essentials Light Strip that simply refused to vanish (I nonetheless can’t determine why) – which then made connecting the ground lamp through the QR code on the product (and its field) rather a lot simpler.

When switched on for the primary time, the Nanoleaf ground lamp defaults to a strong coloration mild, however you possibly can change that shortly sufficient within the app, the place a plethora of user-created mild mixtures (or Scenes) are already accessible to preview and obtain. You too can create your individual for those who’re feeling adventurous.

It’s not the brightest ground lamp we’ve examined at TechRadar, topping out at 1,700 lumens. As compared, the Philips Hue Signe Gradient lamp sits at 2,500 lumens (however prices a heck of much more too), whereas the Govee Floor Lamp Pro is 2,100 lumens. So whereas it gained’t essentially mild up a big room brightly, the Nanoleaf Good Multicolor Flooring Lamp manages to create a moody atmosphere, even for those who determine {that a} strong white (cool) or yellow (heat) mild is what you like.
