Brightening, Customizable, Expandable. This ingenious kit of light panels can bring daylight to the darkest of places with the touch of... a panel. This seven panel Smarter kit has everything needed to connect each panel together, attach them to a flat surface (wall), power and control them. There is even a mobile app that allows for further customization of patterns, schemes and even rhythmic synchronization color choices. The NanoLeaf kits can connect up to 21 panels with one power connector and controller covering well over 160 square inches of space or more.

Each panel has multiple connection points that allow for custom formations and shifting of panels within the kit but also allow for further expansion with other NanoLeaf Shapes Kits. The app allows for controlling power, setting schedules, applying color schemes and more. Each controller can be connected via Wi-Fi, NFC or through tough input that response quickly. The music sync feature is especially cool when paired with a designated color scheme and the controller placed near music source. Each panel also functions as a tough gesture input when applied through the mobile app as input to perform designated commands. All in all this kit adds character to any room without the need to paint, plaster or alter other than the touch of a button or slide of finger across one of the NanoLeaf panels. The only con is that they must be mounted onto a flat surface otherwise the connectors may disconnect from their adjoining panels.

I didn't have a good idea of what these Nanoleaf Shapes Smarter Kits were when I decided to order them. I thought they looked pretty colorful and fun in the photos, so I ordered a set of each of three shapes (hexagons, large and small triangles). My wife and I were delightfully surprised by how neat these are. First of all, they feel solid and well made -- sturdy enough to hold up to our repeated rearrangements while trying to decide exactly where and how to install them. The Nanoleaf website has lots of examples of various installations but their installation instructional video is out of date with the current product design. We laid ours out on the dining room table and played with various arrangements.

My wife and I were delightfully surprised by how neat these are. First of all, they feel solid and well made -- sturdy enough to hold up to our repeated rearrangements while trying to decide exactly where and how to install them. The Nanoleaf website has lots of examples of various installations but their installation instructional video is out of date with the current product design. We laid ours out on the dining room table and played with various arrangements. Plugging in the power supply and attaching the control module allowed us to see the shapes light up. Just touching them causes them to change color intensity and touching the control module can change the colors through all the hues of the rainbow. One clever feature of the power supply is that the plug portion that goes into the outlet just clicks onto the power transformer module so they can use different plugs to match the different outlets in other countries.One drawback to installing them is that they're designed to be installed with double-backed tape (included) but can't be installed on textured walls without a separate screw type mounting kit. The mounting point of each shape panel is in the center of the panel so it's hard to figure how you could get the center in the right place without using the mounting tape. We finally decided that mounting the shapes to a piece of hardboard or plywood would work best for us. The board can then be screwed to the textured wall without having to use the separate mounting kits.An app downloadable from Google Play or the Apple Store can be used to access more advanced programming features that allow the lights to be synchronized with music or programmed to change colors randomly. There's also a shapes planning tool in the app but it only allows you to work with one shape (either hexagons or triangles) at a time with no way to combine the two different shapes in the tool. Combining the hexagons and triangles is easy in actual use, so the tool is not much help. One additional somewhat annoying feature of the design tool is that it always starts with 9 of the selected shape when the Smarter Kits contain only 7 or 5 of each shape. Adding and deleting shapes is easy in the app tool but they all have to be one shape. You can also ask the tool to suggest different arrangements of the shapes. The installation manual is almost all pictograms which can be confusing.Although there are a couple of small issues with this product as noted above, they a minor compared to the overall quality and ingenuity of this product. We can happily recommend Nanoleaf Shapes to anyone who would enjoy some new and exciting lighting options.

I love this product when it comes to the functionality. Works great though the app feels like its missing some features. Or at least the ux leaves something to be desired. My main gripe with this product comes woth the sticky stuff youre supposed to use to prop them up. Two weeks after purchasing this product, the entire 7 panels fell on me at 3 am after following the installation instructions throughly. This resulted in two of my panels getting damaged. I contacted customer support and I had to be the one to really move things along multiple times. The first time, I was told that it was my fault and to do better next time. The following emails were more fruitful but i was ghosted for a while until i finally reached out one more time/filed another claim with all the ... MoreI love this product when it comes to the functionality.

I contacted customer support and I had to be the one to really move things along multiple times. The first time, I was told that it was my fault and to do better next time. The following emails were more fruitful but i was ghosted for a while until i finally reached out one more time/filed another claim with all the information and this finally got them to send me the replacement panels. It took them 1 monthto finally send the replacement. I am currently waiting for them to arrive. In the meantime I chose to keep using one of them because i paid for it. I come home today after 3 weeks of normal use and i was about to turn it on and i noticed my wall was empty. Its because the panel fell AGAIN. This leaves me with a verg sour taste in my mouth. It sucks because i bought these for myself for my birthday and have had nothing but troubles. And now jm mot even sure if i want to put them up if theyre bound to fall and break. At this point i really would prefer to get a refund and buy something smaller or better. Sucks even more because i had been looking forward to buying this product for a year. Take your money and buy something better.
