If you are not an IT person then stay clear of NanoLeaf products. You must be comfortable with and understand your personal WiFi connectivity and your personal setup homes like Apple Home, Google Home, etc. Or maybe you're like me and have both an Apple and Google Home which causes many problems with Nano. Overall the product does what it sets out to do, illuminate your walls. Octagons are BIG and BRIGHT. Too many will overwhelm your experience. Mix Octagons with small triangle expansion packs. You do not need to purchase an Octagon Starter Set and a Small Triangle Starter Set. 1 Starter Set will allow expansion packs of any of these three shapes to be used: Octagon expansion, Triangle expansion, Small Triangle expansion. If the light is too much then purchase a second power cord and controller from NanoLeaf and split up your panels into other area's of the house. Attached images information: Photo 1 with 4 Octagons and 4 small triangles exists in my bedroom. Photo 2 with 12 Octagons and 6 small triangles exists on my stairway wall from the 1st Floor to the 2nd floor. If you live I a row home then you know that wall with no light up to the ceiling. One 7 panel Octagon Starter Set was purchased years ago. All other panels are expansion packs. I purchased another power cord and controller from NanoLeaf so I could have a smaller 4 and 4 light panel experience in my bedroom.

Disclaimer : This 3pk Hexagon review is combined with my review including the 7-Triangle starter kit, 10pk mini-Triangle expansion kit, and remote control. Here we have the 7th, yes, SEVENTH, generation of smart light panel from Nanoleaf, and the first that can be interconnected with different SHAPES, including Hexagons, Triangles, and mini-Triangles. Having seen this promising product displayed at CES in 2016 I’ve been wanting it ever since. The initial launch seemed a bit pricy, and quality concerns of a first generation product prevented me from the investment. Boy have Nanoleaf products matured. Not only are they on their 7th generation, but they’ve managed to integrate the best of the previous 6 into their new SHAPES product line. This includes Rhythm, Touch, Smart Lighting, and even communication with their new Thread mesh networking bulbs. Best Buy limits postings of 6 photos, but there were SO many more I’d love to have displayed — still shots certainly DO NOT do it justice. (Ashamed to admit, I made an evening of Live Photo Loops and sent them out as Holiday text cards ) This is a product that you really owe it to yourself to check out. Fantastic for : * Living rooms, Media Rooms and Theater Rooms *Studios, Offices, Music rooms, Kids rooms, *Stairwells, hall ways, and vanities, *and just about anywhere else Disclaimer : reviewed product consists of 7-Triangles, and master controller, plus 3-Hexagon, 10-Mini-Triangle expansion packs, and a pair of Nanoleaf Remotes, NOT included in the original starter kit purchase. PROS + Vibrant Colors + Lighting for any mood + Newest up-to-date version + Built-in Rhythm module included + Touch-sensitive illuminated feedback + infinite possibilities with other shapes CONS -patience -many possibilities -semi-perm installation -pre-planning (but worth it) -sorta pricy (but well worth it too) -adhere to smooth surface, no textured paint CONCLUSION Nanoleaf is in a category all to themselves. This new product is the best of the bunch. This 7-Triangle starter kit offers many layout variations. Adding a pack or two of different shapes, Hexagons, mini-Triangles, or more Triangles infinitely expands your possibilities. Recommendation : Strong Buy !!

Excellent expansion to add to my existing Hexagon Shapes panels. For the price point it couldn't really have been beaten foreal

These are super cool, with some really amazing options for colors. They didn’t stick to the wall long, though.

Great find when they’re on sale. I love the Nanoleaf shapes and how creative you can get with them. I just wish these had multiple lighting zones on them and they need to do some work on their app.
