I love NanoLeaf, this is my 2nd purchase of theirs. The first was the Canvas lights. I like the triangles better than the canvas, which are square. The triangles have a more seamless look into your room/wall. I use these with the app, I customize the colors, and set them to music mode sometimes. NanoLeaf was great recently... there was an issue with the controller unit on some triangle units, mine stopped working, I contacted their support and they had a new one sent right away. And it's been running fine ever since then.

It helped me finish my nano leaf lettering shape so it was well worth it having it in the background of my stream

They are awesome but I bought these to work with synapse not knowing they weren’t compatible yet. I have the Rythem set as well and they are awesome and these are awesome as well but the fact they don’t work with my pcs is a little annoying. These were actually easier to hook up to WiFi than my rythem set that took hours to troubleshoot. Overall they look great in my streaming room and have plenty of scenes but I’m looking forward to being able to have 2 PCs with 2 Nanoleaf sets hooked up.

I have tried many smart lights and nanoleaf is the best so far. So many cheaper brands have a jitter or stutter when changing colors but nanofleaf changes colors incredible smooth and is much less distracting. App is simple and easy to use too.

These lights are awesome, I have them set above my desk and I’m loving the features. I will say I was bummed at first that they did not work with Razer synapse. But here’s the good news, I contacted Nano leaf and razer is in the works of having this set sync with synapse this year around the 2nd quarter. So don’t fret it’s coming and these lights are awesome. Especially as a key light too or just accent lighting.

These lights are amazing! A little difficult to figure out how to hang at first so I had to google some YouTube video tutorials. The app also took some troubleshooting to figure out how to get working but once that was all set up and installed it’s been all good! I love that you can customize the colors and set them to your music. I wish they weren’t so darn expensive bc I’d definitely buy more!

Love these so much. Finally pulled the trigger. I like the design of these new "shapes" panels a lot more than the original nanoleaf. Unfortunately they don't currently integrate with razer synapse which was a bit of a disappointment for me... But I talked to Razer customer support and they said it was coming soon hopefully.

Wasn’t expecting these to be worth any less than the price, and they are absolutely perfect! They stick great to the wall, the hardest part was figuring out the perfect design and connecting to the app. I’m happy more pieces can be added to it. Highly recommend these!

A lot of fun, but pricey

I’m big into colored smart bulbs. They are completely unnecessary but they bring a certain mood to your house. And I really enjoy using them during holidays (i.e. Halloween, Christmas). But they’re pricey. One bulb can be $30-50, and when you really think about how many lights are in a house (or even an apartment), the cost really adds up when you expand your collection. The nanoleafs are no exception. They are pricey and non essential. But they add a certain “cool” factor, especially when used as a wall fixture. They are bright enough to serve as a light in your room, and can also be used just as mood lighting. I really enjoy the 7 triangle shapes, but they are a bit small which almost demand expansion; which again, means more expenses.
IN THE BOX
In the box you get the 7 triangle panels, a bunch of “connectors” a plug, a touch control panel and adhesive to stick them to the wall.
Upon unpacking everything, it’s pretty simple to see how they work. Underneath the panels are 6 “spots” where you can attach a connector. The connector then allows you to (duh) connect the other panels. One of those connectors obviously requires the power cable. Another can be used for the control panel.
PUTTING THEM TOGETHER
I recommend, so do the instructions, kind of playing with the shapes to find an overall pattern you like. I wouldn’t say the possibilities are limitless with just 7 panels, but you’d be surprised how creative you can get. The connectors and panels easily snap together, and once you plug in the power they turn on. But, the connectors come out easily when moving it. This is NOT a big deal once you finalize your pattern and put in on the wall, but it got a little annoying when the shapes kept separating while figuring out my layout on the ground.
CONNECTING TO THE APP
I recommend getting the app connected while you are trying to work out your layout. Another benefit of doing this are the suggestions/ideas in the app for a good layout. I used the QR code on my phone to find the app. I downloaded it and created an account. I had a bit of trouble figuring out how to add devices (the first question on the first screen after logging in is to add a room). But I found it in the settings. From there, there are three options to add a device. I highly recommend the NFC option. I tapped on that option on my phone, held my phone to the control panel (while it’s connected to a triangle, with the power on) and it was added almost instantly.
From there, the panels kind of lit up in sequence (in different colors). There’s a lot going on in the app, and it takes a minute to get acclimated, but it eventually starts to make sense. It determines the shape you created (based on the connectors) and then gives you some preselected coloring options. You can add those to your favorites, and obviously you can create your own. But I had a little issue switching the different themes. I kept getting errors that the device wasn’t powered on (it was, it was lit up). But I closed the app and reopened it and things seemed to work fine.
WALL INSTALLATION
While simply in theory, this requires the most patience. It’s not hard to install, the adhesive pads are double-sided and dead simple. You peel off the backing on both sides of the adhesive, stick one side to the shape, and push the other against the wall and hold for 30 seconds. But you want to be careful attaching each panel to the wall to make sure they’re aligned properly, and straight! Luckily I didn’t make any mistakes, so I’m unable to say how difficult it is to remove them from the wall. But you should add each panel, one a time, and make sure you have the connectors attached before placing against the wall. Obviously you’ll want the connector showing for the panels that are on the wall, and one sticking out on the other side of the panel when attaching it. There isn’t much room to add the connectors after you’ve placed the panel on the wall. Which makes the planning out your layout all the more important.
Another important reminder/limiting factor. You’ll need to plug these in. So there will be a wire hanging from the layout. I recommend placing them above a couch or other piece of furniture (above an outlet) so you see as little of the power cable as possible. Obviously if you hang them on a blank wall with no furniture, you’re going to have a power cable in plain sight. If you go this route, I would recommend some cable runners to hide them.
USE AFTER INSTALL and CONTROLS
They’re great! Once I had my design on the wall, and connected the panels to the app, I was easily able to change the lighting. I have yet to go through the effort of automating anything from the app, although I will. It has smart speakers control, you just need to link the device within Google Home, for example. Add it to a room and you can control your voice, set timers, etc. I don’t change the colors very often (although the panels “pulse” based on the preset lighting scene I chose). So all I do is tap the on/off button on the control panel which is attached to the panels on the wall. It is extremely responsive. You can even change the brightness or cycle through the preset lighting scenes directly on that control panel without having to open your app.
CONCLUSION
The nanoleaf panels are fun and add a certain amount of flare to any room. The biggest drawback is the cost. The panels themselves aren’t very big (it’s just hard to get a sense of the size based on pictures) which isn’t a knock, but depending on the wall, you may want additional panels (I do) to create a more elaborate design. The only real limitation in placement is being near an outlet and hiding the cable, but using furniture is an easy way around it. I’m also glad, even though I haven’t done it yet, that there’s home integration so I can turn it on and off with my voice. The app can be a little overwhelming at first, like I said there’s a lot going on, but if you play with it for a minute it will make sense. Just make sure to assign the panels to an existing room within your Google Home (or equivalent).

The lights did not work and did not function properly...the sticky backing did not come off easy and ripped large holes of paint off of my wall which will now have to be repaired.
Also extremely expensive...
Im displeased, to say the least.
