Nanoleaf’s colorful pegboard and shelf kit is half off - The Verge

What the report says

The Verge reports that Nanoleaf’s Blocks Combo XL Smarter Kit has dropped to $99.99 through Nanoleaf, a discount of $100 and described by the publication as a new low price. The July 27 article by Sheena Vasani frames the product as a back-to-school or small-space upgrade, combining decorative smart lighting with wall storage.

According to The Verge, the kit includes nine color-changing LED panels in large and small sizes, along with a low-profile shelf and a pegboard. The storage components are listed as supporting up to 6.6 pounds and 3.3 pounds, respectively, making them suitable for items such as headphones, controllers, notebooks, a tablet, small plants or a few books. The panels are modular, allowing buyers to rearrange them or add more pieces later.

The report says the lights can be customized through Nanoleaf’s app, including a Paint Tool for assigning colors to specific areas. The app also offers AI Magic Scenes that generate palettes from words or phrases, plus community-made designs. The system can mirror screen visuals or sync with music, and it works with other Nanoleaf products for broader room effects.

The Verge notes the kit can be controlled over Wi-Fi via the Nanoleaf app, through voice assistants including Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, or with an included physical controller. The article also discloses that Vox Media may earn a commission if readers buy through Verge links.
