    Great lights for your room. I like these mini triangles because you don’t have to spend so much on the regular sized.

    These were a gift for my college age son, and he absolutely loves them. They were easy to set up and mount on the wall and he uses them when playing games online and listening to music. He has a previous set that he added this onto so we have removed them from walls as well, which was very easy using the mount tabs that were included. There was no damage to the walls. I would highly recommend this product for anyone who is looking for a unique wall display.

    I had these for just over a year and I got them to add some dynamic elements to my work setup. They worked decently for the year, with some hiccups with connectivity here and there. The app is also not the best experience. Fast forward to recently (Feb 2023) and they suddenly lose connection, they're unreachable in the app. After following Nanoleaf's customer service troubleshooting, it still didn't work. When plugged in, the lights just appear white and none of the buttons are responsive. Also, hard resetting and soft resetting don't register with the device. I'm not sure what the issue is but honestly, it seems like they're just dead. Customer service doesn't really seem to be too responsive (email and Twitter) so, I'm guessing this is a major L. I'd steer clear away from this product unless you want a horrible user and customer service experience.

    Love these, especially at the price they've been lowered to. I got two sets with the idea that i'll get some expansion triangles at some future point if/when they go on sale. These are quite small (see photo with hand for reference) but they're really neat, and as with all Nanoleaf products you can download any number of scenes or create your own. I also have several other Nanoleaf products (older large triangle set and 12 RGB bulbs) and I like how you can combine them all into different scenes. Finally, I used Homekit exclusively and as with other Nanoleaf products these support and integrate very nicely with Homekit.

    I've had these mounted on my wall for quite awhile now. They come with command strip discs to install. I find it best to experiment with your layout on the floor before sticking them to the wall. They can get very bright, but that is adjustable. I keep mine around 15-20% brightness. The app to customize them can be frustrating at times, but it is usable. Overall, I enjoy them.

    The new Nanoleaf shapes design is an awesome update to an already cool design. The 5 pack is just enough to get started. It comes with everything you need and go up in minutes. With only 5 tiles you won’t have a ton of options in layout, but you can still put something cool together. I do wish I had more shapes and sizes to expand on, but more are certainly available. The colors are great, the app does its job and the updated control module is a better implementation than over previous generations. This time around the control module is a separate piece that can be added to any side. Instead of sliding tabs to connect the tiles, a more secure click in place connector is plugging them all together. Although I think the product is great, I do find them to be on the expensive side. Not that the product isn’t of value, at the current mark it’s in the premium price range. The good news is that unlike previous generations the expansion tiles don’t see to be as bad. For about the same price as this kit, you can pick up an additional 10 small triangles. That’s pretty cool. I love the brightness of the tiles and all the great features. These are touch and sound reactive – you can liven up the ambiance of any room with just a few clicks in the app. Also make note that unlike some other home lighting kits you won’t need any additional hub. The control panel mounts to the lights and that the app leads you the rest of the way. If you want to add a cool and colorful lighting accessory to a room, make sure to check these out. If you’re anything like me, you may want to pick up a couple more if the pocketbook permits!

    Wow. Was not expecting it to be this good. The installation process is simple and easy once you have your desired shape. Wish it wouldnt be that expensive and came with more shapes. Which,in thia case you need extwnsion pack. The app it self is something to get used to at first.

    Another great lighting accent product by Nanoleaf. They integrate with the Nanoleaf app super easily. Adjusting shape and control module location are insanely fast and simple. Easy to test out designs before mounting on the wall. I like that I can interact with a touch. You can save many color/lighting profiles to control right from the module on the light or control via app. Connecting with Alexa is a breeze and makes turning it off or on super quick. Love it.

    They feel well made and look pretty good. I cannot say that the color is perfect - there is some shadows visible within the shapes depending on the brightness. I haven’t had any problems with them. My only complaint (which is a moot point after purchase) is that they are very expensive. Very much a niche product for creative types or gamer types like this old man.

    So cool. I was debating to get the large triangles so for the minis to see how they work and if I liked them. I LOVE them! I’m ready to get the 15 panel pack and combine them with the minis! If you’re thinking about these for you’re, I highly recommend you wait no more! You won’t be disappointed with all the features and Ambience they add to your room

    Great Accent light with cool options to expand

    These little mini triangles lights are so cool and it lights up my monitor area well with different colors and patterns. This pack comes with 5 mini triangles and connectors, double sided stickers for wall placements, power adapter and quick manual. Don’t get this pack if you are looking for to place in large room and expecting accent lighting or lighting up the entire room as this is not going to be making you happy. These are mini mini as it is described. Setup: Its easy to download the various pattern from app or you can customize your own pattern. I would suggest to plan your pattern and try connecting it using the connectors, power it up before installing the 2-sided tape and mounting on the wall. Also, make sure to connect the little controller that works as wired remote to power on/off, increase or decrease brightness, music, changing scenes. Mobile app is very intuitive. Just download the nanoleaf app for mobile from Appstore or google play store and the app allows you to select various scene, changing colors to music etc. App also lists all smart devices that works with Apple HomeKit for easy control and automate with each other. I have added my motion sensor to work with nanoleaf for turning on at a scheduled time at my office when it detects motion and turn off after a period of time. It also support touch options to control various functions like increasing or decreasing brightness, changing scenes or colors that can be customized in app. Overall, this mini triangles are a great addition to your existing shapes or for a smaller area. Don’t expect to light up the entire room with this. Its just a cool décor but for the price not sure if its worth it when other options are available for cheaper.

    These lights are a nice way to add ambient lighting to wall in the form of functional art. This kit contains five mini-triangles that can be connected to each other in various designs, although the number of possible designs are limited since there are only five panels. Connecting the panels together and adding the power adapter and controller is very easy. The lights are controlled by an app, which is easy to install and fairly easy to pair with the lights and connect to WiFi. I have had a few problems with the app where it fails to 'find' the lights, but closing and reopening the app has usually fixed this issue. On one occasion however, I had to remove the lights from the app and re-pair them. I connected the panels in a simple design and placed them on the wall near the desk in my office. The lights give off enough light to illuminate the area near my desk if I want, but there's not enough light to really illuminate the entire office. Additional kits can be purchased to increase the number of possible designs as well as the amount of light given, but for now, I'm fine with what was in the box. The app allows you to control the color, hue, and brightness of the lights, and it also allows you to select pre-set color pallets. You can also set the lights to respond to sound and/or touch, which is a fairly cool capability. I sometimes listen to music while working so I set the lights to a pre-set pallet that responded to sound. Although the 'dancing' lights were a bit of a distraction in my particular instance, in the right scenario I think they would be great. Overall, I think these lights are a nice addition if you're looking for something to put on a wall that adds light and a touch of art. The amount of light given is good, but if you need more light, additional panels can be added easily. The only issue I've had so far is with the app, but hopefully that will be ironed out in time.

    I've been at least aware of Nanoleaf's products for a while, and while I always thought they were a very cool idea I was never all that inclined to actually try them for myself. Now that I have though, I'm a little surprised that I managed to hold out this long. These things do almost everything I could ask out of a modern lighting system, and they do it with style. The biggest problem I had when doing my initial assembly was figuring out what kind of shape to build with five triangles. There were a few suggestions on a flyer that came in the box, as well as a shape designer in the app that can construct randomized patterns based on the number and type of panels you have and then use augmented reality to let you preview it in your space, but I quickly came to realize that the more abstract designs that really appealed to me didn't quite work with just five triangles. I can definitely understand why they refer to this as a starter kit. Fortunately, the hardware was very accomodating of my indecisiveness. Everything snaps together like legos, and comes apart just as easily. And when I finally settled on my final design - an admittedly somewhat boring pillar that had the benefit of allowing me to completely hide the one visible wire behind a curtain - installation was a snap. Each panel is held in place with removable adhesive strips specially sized to a rotating circular plate they clip into on the back, so getting them up on the wall is as easy as peeling off the paper backing and holding it in place for 30 seconds. The fact that the clip swivels is particularly appreciated, as it means there's at least a bit of wiggle room if you mess up the orientation of the first panel like I did. The kit also comes with a single spare connecting clip and adhesive panel, just in case you make a mistake that requires a more drastic fix. Once the lights were finally up and powered, I switched over to the app and was again pleasantly surprised at how well thought out the process of getting it set up was. Pairing the phone with the lights was as simple as tapping it against the controller block to scan the NFC chip, then providing the login credentials for my router. I'll admit that I was a bit worried at first that I might run into trouble here as the directions say that you must have your phone on a 2.4ghz wifi band rather than the faster 5ghz band due to the lights not having 5ghz support. While my router does support both, it uses a single SSID for them which means it's generally up to the phone to decide which band it's connecting on rather than the user. But my fears turned out to be unfounded, as the setup process went off without a hitch even with the combined network. And once I had the app set up, it quickly guided me through the process of getting the system integrated with Google Assistant for voice control, programming in a few basic scenes, and setting up gestures for the touch-sensitive panels. There's definitely still a bit of room for improvement here - I've noticed that the app is less responsive than what I can get with a lot of other smart lighting systems and it does have a habit of occasionally reporting errors which then immediately resolve themselves, but the UI design and overall experience is smooth enough that I'd feel comfortable recommending it even to someone who isn't particularly tech savvy. Which brings me to actually using the lights. Again, I'm very pleased. The panels offer a very soft and diffuse light which can be adjusted to be bright enough to serve as your primary source of illumination for the room or made more subdued to serve as an accent. The panels are smart enough to work out the shape they've been assembled in on their own, and can use that to adjust the built in and user-created light scenes. There are three basic types of these: static lights which basically just mimic a conventional light fixture, dynamic light shows which transition through a set of colors on a loop, and reactive ones which will change color and intensity in response to any sound the controller picks up. I've mostly been leaving them on the light show mode to avoid them flashing white every time my dog barks at something he sees out the window, but I'm definitely going to be making use of the music visualization settings on my next date night and/or party (assuming, of course, that the pandemic lets me do either of those ever again.) I can only imagine how impressive the effect would be with an even larger array of panels.
