The manufacturer Nanoleaf is expanding its range of smart lamps with an illuminated showcase called the Expo Smart Display Case. The box-shaped housing is 36 centimeters wide, 25 centimeters deep and 19 centimeters high on the inside. This means that it offers space for, for example, a sneaker of size 50 that is worthy of display. A wide skylight illuminates the contents of the box in white or RGB colors without shadows. The collector’s item(s) can be viewed from the transparent front and back. The other plastic walls are opaque.

The light can be controlled either with buttons on the housing or via the manufacturer’s app – to a limited extent also with smart home apps from Amazon, Apple, Google, Samsung and Razer. The LEDs can also light up to the tune of music and in reflective colors of a TV or computer display. They receive radio signals via Wi-Fi 4 (2.4 GHz).
Nanoleaf developed the light box with design studio Fantaki, whose first product in this country is this one. The LED display case can already be ordered on the Fantaki website. It should be “available soon” in Nanoleaf’s online shop.
Combine 300 LED showcase with gradient effect
To get started, you need a starter kit that bundles four light boxes at a price of 300 euros. Each additional case costs 100 euros. The combination of several boxes is interesting for fans of sophisticated LED lighting because a color gradient effect can then be activated in the housings. If several cases are placed next to or on top of each other, the software registers their relative position to each other, making it easy to map and assign colors.
According to the Fantaki website, up to 300 cases can be grouped if there is enough space. The external dimensions are 38 x 29 x 22 centimeters.

So that each individual showcase does not require a power supply, the boxes can be connected via a cable connection. The four included in the starter kit are specified with a consumption of 7 watts, each supplementary box requires 5 watts. Both manufacturers did not say how many cases can be powered with the included power supplies. Fantaki has listed two additional power supply variants in the shop. The 42-watt version (26 euros) should be able to supply up to eight additional cases, the 75-watt version (41 euros) up to 16 additional cases.
