![]() Nanoleaf truly gives you flexibility to customize their product. Diving into a section of lights allows you to adjust brightness, colours, patterns, frequency of colour change, and more. From here you can turn all lights in a room off and on. The touch feature is surprisingly responsive. Adjusting these options allow you to change what happens when touch a light panel such as making tiles turn off with touch, changing colours, adjusting colour change frequency and more. In the app, you can adjust the touch panel functions which just adds to the creativity you can put into these lights. It’s strange because Nanoleaf has clearly spent a great deal of time designing a nice clean polished looking product and of all the things, the cable ends up being the displeasing visual item. The power wire was bundled up in the box so it stays rather wavy, they could have included a simple bracket the wire could clip into. ![]() I’m disappointed that Nanoleaf’s products are rather expensive and to top it off, they don’t provide simple wire cable management. In fact, you can even setup games like whack-a-mole and Pacman, which is wild but fun. Nanoleaf encourages you to touch the panels to interact and change the colours. What’s great is that there is no fear of breaking the light as the surface isn’t glass, it feels like a type of plastic. If the lights weren’t unique enough already, it gets even better. It’s not difficult but just requires a bit of work. I haven’t taken any tiles off the wall yet, but Nanoleaf has some videos regarding that. Nanoleaf recommends not using the double sided tape on surfaces that are unique such as having stucco, their website has more information regarding that. After placing a tile on the wall, you just press with a bit of force at the center of each tile. Double sided sticky tape is provided with each panel and they’re strong at keeping tiles on the wall. I used my handy small Swiffer first and then a dry cloth on the wall I mounted my panel lights. Nanoleaf recommends cleaning the wall to ensure any residue and dust is gone. I went with a random design and with the rest of my basement lights turned off, they look amazing. The beauty of these panels is that no matter what you do, they’ll look good. Here’s the thing about setup, you can set up a symmetrical type of pattern or just a random design. The size of the panel can be found in the picture below per each panel type. You need a smarter kit (kind of like a starter kit) per a new outlet connection since it’ll include the power supply unit unless you purchase tiles and the power supply separately. The shapes can only connect over 2.4GHz WiFi signal and doesn’t allow Ethernet connection. Mini triangles consume a mere 0.54W a tile, allow 77 panels per 42W PSU and 500 panels per controller. ![]() Triangles consume 1.5W per unit, allowing 28 panels per 42W PSU and 500 units per controller. You can 21 hexagons per 42W PSU and 500 of them per controller. The hexagons consume 2W a panel which isn’t a lot unless you get a lot. Especially as you can mix between 16M+ colours. However, that’s not their purpose, the bright beautiful vibrant mixed colours they can display is their primary function. They can get fairly white in colour but not their kelvin rating isn’t that high. The higher the kelvin, the closer you get to white light which mimics bright sunlight, if that’s your goal then you’ll be disappointed. You can adjust the brightness level easily in the app, light touch control panel or by using your voice with a smart home assistant.Īll shape designs have a kelvin rating of 1,500 to 6,500. Each shape isn’t that bright on its own but when you add a bunch together, it gets surprisingly bright. ![]()
