Duel: Nanoleaf Skylight versus Aqara Ceiling Light T1M — lampu langit pintar terbaik?

Having been confined to bulbs and light strips for too long, color-changing smart lighting has finally broken free with the introduction of new smart ceiling lights from Aqara and Nanoleaf. These fixtures bring dynamic and customizable lighting to our ceilings, expanding beyond the limitations of traditional smart lighting options like Philips Hue.

Unlike smart bulbs and light strips, these new ceiling lights are hardwired into your home’s electrical system, allowing for tunable white and color-changing lighting in spaces where lamps or recessed lighting are not feasible. With the ability to set schedules, integrate with motion sensors, and connect to other smart home devices, these lights offer a new level of convenience and control.

I had the opportunity to test both the Aqara Ceiling Light T1M and the Nanoleaf Skylight, comparing their design, cost, smart home integration, installation process, and overall performance. After two weeks of testing, I found that both lights illuminated dark areas of my home with ease, but one ultimately stood out as the winner.

The Aqara Ceiling Light T1M, priced at $149.99, features a sleek design with a main tunable white light and a color-changing LED ring with 26 individually addressable zones. On the other hand, the Nanoleaf Skylight, priced at $249.99, consists of modular LED light panels that offer tunable white and full-color lighting, with the ability to display different colors simultaneously.

In terms of design, the Aqara light has a more traditional look, while the Nanoleaf Skylight resembles a physical skylight with its modular square panels. The Nanoleaf can be expanded to create a ceiling full of light, but the Aqara light may be more suitable for smaller spaces.

When it comes to light quality, the Nanoleaf Skylight shines with its super-bright output and full-color capabilities, although it may have some dark spots in the panels. The Aqara light produces a softer, more diffuse light and works well with Apple’s HomeKit Adaptive lighting feature.

In terms of lighting effects, the Nanoleaf Skylight offers a wide range of dynamic and customizable options, while the Aqara light’s color effects are limited to its LED ring. Nanoleaf’s preset effects can sync with ambient music or sound, creating immersive lighting experiences that Aqara may not be able to match.

Overall, both lights have their strengths and weaknesses, but after thorough testing, one light emerged as the clear winner. To find out which light came out on top and to learn more about their performance, design, and features, read on.
