Nanoleaf Launches New Screen Mirror Lightstrip for Mac Displays

by

Nanoleaf today announced the launch of the PC Screen Mirror Lightstrip, a new desktop lighting option that is designed to make desktop gaming and entertainment more immersive with rainbow lighting effects.

The Screen Mirror Lightstrip connects to a computer using USB-C, and it is able to provide real-time dynamic mirroring that matches whatever is on your screen. It can match the output of a game or a movie, or it can sync to music, with the lights changing to match the rhythm of a song. There is also an Orchestrator mode that provides access to different moods for music experience customization. One mood is included, with more available through a Nanoleaf Premium subscription.

Nanoleaf designed the Screen Mirror Lightstrip for displays up to 32 inches in size, and it features a flexible zigzag design for simple and precise installation.

The Lightstrip pairs to a display using the Nanoleaf Desktop app, which is available for both PCs and Macs. More than 16 million colors are supported for dynamic lighting animations and visual effects.

The PC Screen Mirror Lightstrip from Nanoleaf is priced at $50 and it can be pre-ordered from the Nanoleaf website. It is set to ship at the end of March.

Update: This article was updated to clarify that Nanoleaf Orchestrator is an included feature in the Nanoleaf Desktop app and does not require a subscription to use, but a Nanoleaf subscription is necessary for unlocking the full range of moods.

"With a Nanoleaf Premium subscription, there is an Orchestrator mode that provides access to different moods for music experience customization."

Ok stop right there. Why do I need a subscription to access a hardware mode?? I couldn't find anything on the Nanoleaf site that tells me what a "Premium" subscription gets me.

I keep wondering, why do gamers/twitch streamers ALL seem to have this odd obsession with LED lighting setups? It’s all purple/bluish.
Well I can't speak for them, but I use colorful background lighting mostly just to annoy you, specifically. :p

I love the price of these compared to other smart/strip lights. I've been using an old desk lamp as bias lighting behind my Studio Display, but these would be much more fun. Might have to pick some up once they're more readily available.

There is actually a practical use of having diffused light behind a tv or monitor. It actually reduces eye strain in dark rooms.

Hi! Not a gamer, nor a twitch streamer, nor anything to do with anything about gaming/streaming, so I can't speak for them, however, I have enough LEDs to light up my neighborhood.

Quite literally, think of a place, there are LEDs, either smart that work directly with homekit or on smart plug for easy turn on off.

The obsession is, they look so damn good! And the nano leaf 4Ds for the TV just give it a very fun experience.
Now, purple/blue/green whatever, thats just personal preference. My lights are also based on holidays, so halloween is very orange, yellow, and purple, while Christmas goes white, red and green.
