How we checked

The official Nanoleaf page (SKU NF080K03-2LS, "Matter Lightstrip Smarter Kit (80″)" = the 2m base kit) confirms this exact single-zone model: "Works with Matter over Thread," "16+ Million Colors and Tunable Whites," a listed "Tunable White (2700 - 6500K)" range, and a "2 Year Warranty"; it displayed no USD price (sold out, retailer redirect). The PCWorld review (dated Jul 27, 2023) of the "Nanoleaf Essentials Matter Lightstrip Smarter Kit (2m)" corroborates identity and supplies the numeric specs — 2m base length, "21 LEDs per meter," "maximum brightness of 2,200 lumens," "2,700 Kelvin to 6,500K," Thread + Bluetooth, and "No music syncing" — plus the price "$49.99 for the 2-meter version." Both pages agree this is the single-color-at-a-time RGBWW strip (not the addressable Multicolor/HD variant), confirming the model, specs, and price. The page this record originally cited (https://nanoleaf.me/en-US/products/essentials/lightstrips/matter-lightstrip-80-starter-kit-2m-each/) returned 404 when re-checked on 2026-09-10 from two vantages, so the second recorded capture of the same figures — pcworld.com, read 2026-07-11 — is the source now, and this record no longer claims an independent corroboration.
