Nanoleaf’s solar garden lights lack Wi-Fi. I can’t wait to test them

I’m a smart home expert, yet I never get to test any smart outdoor lighting. Why? Because I live in a Brooklyn brownstone rental, and while I’m lucky enough to have a backyard, there’s no power or wireless connectivity out there. 

So whenever I get offers to test outdoor lights from Philips Hue, Enbrighten, or other smart lighting manufacturers, I usually pass them off to other writers. But not this time. 

Nanoleaf’s new Solar Garden Lights are, strictly speaking, not so smart.
