If you have a collection that you would like to display, it’s like high-end sneakers, expensive collected vinyl images or anything you want to catch the attention of anything, Nanolif’s Expo Smart LED display cases are like checking. Their four packs have been priced at $ 270, the additional expansion case is available for $ 63.
LED equipped display boxes for expo smart cases collected. They are rectangular, white plastic sides and with clean plastic on the front and back. The front panel opens so that the items can be kept inside.
In the case of size and size, they remind me of shoe boxes that people can save their sneakers. They are only 15 inches long, 11.4 inches deep and 8.7 inches tall. The internal measurements are somewhat smaller, so your height is about 7.5 inches. Height has become the most limited cause of my test, since long collected items do not fit inside. For shoes, which are of course designed these cases, you can fit up to 15 sneakers in a size. Nanolif has a guide about what other types of things fit inside, but the limit of weight is not mentioned. Most collectables that fit are not wildly heavy, and cases are sight, so weight will probably not be a matter of concern for most people.
This vessel has to be flat-packed and each box should be combined one-by-one. The pieces just go together together and it is not terribly difficult to combine them, but it took me half an hour to set up four of them. I have seen it set up for a bit of frustration because it takes more energy than you think to snap in their place.
Once they are combined, they are made of plastic but they feel the feeling. They don’t see or feel cheap, but it is clear that they are not plastic and any other material. Nanolif simply produces expo cases in White and it does not fit with some aesthetics. I suspect that there are plenty of collectors who can like black but the whites do well to highlight the items inside. By the way, the assembly keeps what is inside the dust, but Nanolif does not mention UV protection so I assume that it does not include it.
Like the nanolif’s light panels, the expo cases link together with the connectors, which are included in the box. There is a major controller box that provides energy and plugs the power adapter and the rest of the boxes plugs on it. Nanolif has designed to set up all in one row or to stack up, so you can actually create several different designs. There is no wall mounting hardware, so they are more designed to go on the floor or on the surface like desk or shelf.
In the controller box, it has a set of touch-based controls to change the color and brightness without the application and I hate them. They use touch activation instead of physical buttons. The buttons are very sensitive and activates them if you brush them. They are somewhat annoying for the activities like reseting the expo cases. I used to like standard physical buttons.
I set the cases on a horizontal line in my office across a set of bookcases, but I also tested them in the vertical direction of two rows and they stack well. There is an indentation on the top of each box that sits for a secure fit for a secure fit, but there is no clip or other process that keeps them in the surface area and indentation. I wanted to be able to put the lego on the top of the cases, but frustrations could have created for an unstable surface, which you should remember if you want to put something on the top. I’ve added some craft foam to get the flat surface and it works well.
I have seven cases to fit across the bookcase but up to 300 can be connected together. Once you have more than eight cases you need a 75W power supply unit from Nanolif, which I believe is sold separately because the base kites ship the ship with 42 WW power supply. A 75W power supply supports 14 cases, so if you cross this number you will need two or more power supply. Keep in mind that 300 can be connected, Nanolif says that you should only stack them 16 high vertically. There is no limit to the horizontal orientation.
Expo cases connect to the nanolif app and are capable of homecut-capable, so you can access them to the home app and control them with Siri. Thread is also included for advanced connection. Like other nanolif products, they can be set in more than 16 million colors with various patterns available in the application and light sequences. I like Nanolif’s app and I think the company has done a good job by getting the entire range of the entire scene and color options with little effort for its products.
You can set expo cases on solid colors or create your own animated view on the app, but there are community -made scenes and AI magic scenes. With community scenes, you can download a lot of great colors/pattern combinations created by others and the AI Magic scene allows you to keep any sentence to bring AI to something. There is an option to create a playlist to keep the expo cases through the scene and there is a rhythm option, which allows the selected colors to change time with the music. You can connect to a PC or Mac setup with other Nanolif Lights using these nanolif desktop app.
In addition to the color there are multiple shades of white, which I think is important for expo cases. Depending on what is inside you, some deep colors and animations can focus on the contents. If I showcase the collection I usually like to be visible to them, so I set the expo cases in the shade of light color and white (1200K to 6500K). Deep colors look nice to see with sneakers or more common items and the backlight is definitely interesting.
You can choose a brightness level for a color as well as cases and they have become fairly bright. Nanolif says they are 50 lumens, and I usually have half of their brightness or less.
I do not want to review the nanolif without addressing connection and customer services, the two fields where the Nanolif Histor fought in a hurry. Old nanolif products may have problems and my controllers failed in the Aurora and Canvas panels. The new thread-capable capable products seem so far more reliable and I have tested only one connection to the expo case setup from last August. They have never disconnected from Wi-Fi since then and the nanolif skylights I have placed since last year were also stable. My only recent problem was the senses+ switch occasionally disconnecting, but it was okay for months.
For my customer service experience, I needed a seventh box and I bought it directly from Nanolif. They have sent me a controller case instead of expansion case by mistake, so I contact support as a regular customer. I quickly received an answer, and got a replacement. I have recently seen Nanolif support to be more active on various social channels like Reddit, so I think they are trying to improve. I hope that new products are about to live longer than the old device with low connection problems, but the time will say.
Nanolif’s Expo case brings a two -year warranty and 30 -day return period (when purchased from the Nanolif website).
Bottom line
Nanolif’s expo cases were clearly designed to display high-end sneakers of size and size, but they work well for any small collection. They make pairs with other nanolif lights and create a great desk accessories, house decoration or enclosed light sources.
It is very good to have an ambient light alternative that has some utility and the Nanolif’s Expo case is a strong option to add LED lights to a standard display case or Curio Cabinet. I do not like physical buttons and I hope that those who don’t like white have a more colorful option but overall it is a hard product that is unique and is worth the collectors.
I think they are about $ 67 in the expensive direction, but the target audience for them probably spends a lot more on what happens inside the case.
