Nanoleaf NL22-0003TW-9PK Light Panels Smarter Kit

I have a wonderful home that has a lot of windows everywhere but my kitchen. I was talking about going through the cost of putting in a new frosted window in my brand new home in the kitchen where no window exists. I wanted to more light balance between the living room, kitchen, and dining room. It was mentioned that the nanoleaf might achieve this for me.I bought 18 panels and put them up in a straight line where I would have put the window. It did an amazing job, the panels can take on so many colors and scenes. I used a few pre-made scenes that gives me color combinations like a clear sky, or rolling clouds, or rain.My biggest fear was that it would have some phase to the light (sometimes led's can have a phase that kill my astigmatism), but there was 0 phase even at low power.I must say I used both the iphone and android app, and the iphone app was much better than the android, especially when previewing scenes.Then I configured my Alex to interface with the nanoleaf, and it's AWESOME! I can turn it off/on, change brightness, or change the scene.The amount of light it generates with clear sky or all white at full power fills the room with similar light that would have come through a much more expensive window.

Originally i thought they would not be bright enough to light a whole room/ workstation, but when i got it all set up i realized how bright and vibrant they are, pleasantly bright and quite relaxing with ocean sounds and a hot towel over your head in between gaming sessions, fully compatible with Razor Chroma, and Google home. makes every thing easy. 10/10 will buy more.

I'll be blunt: These are bright, very bright. More vibrant than advertised. And the color selection is not simply a set of common colors. We are talking over 16,500,000 colors here (If you want to get technical... 255 levels of each red, blue and green. 255x255x255 = 16 million). This includes brightness as well. So if you want a dim, dark ocean blue, or a ridiculously light sky blue, or a vibrant royal blue... go for it. See my pictures to show the difference between pink, and ridiculously bright pink. Brightness and color is independent on each triangle and since you can have up to 30 triangles in a set, each with 16 million colors each... well, the expression "the possibilities are endless" virtually applies here.There are three issues, however. First, they are expensive. Are they worth it? If you live in a smaller place and only need one set, yes. If you live in a bigger place, you'll probably enjoy these lights so much, that you'll want more. I'd like to apologize to your bank account, in advance. Second, the "links" that link the triangles together (the little chips that provide electricity from one triangle to another) are very flimsy. If you should happen to bend them, they will break, and the connection is severed. This does not mean you need to buy more lights if this happens, but it does mean you'll need to buy more links. (see picture for a picture of a link) Just make sure you link the triangles when they are already on your wall. Do **not link the triangles *then* attempt to hang them. Doing this is a great way to break them. Thankfully you can buy the kind that bend (so you can even have the lights go up a wall and onto a ceiling, for instance), but those are sold separately, which is a shame. Third, as of now, the smartphone app is a bit clunky and can be unresponsive. However, that's not affecting the score of my review. But I thought it was worth mentioning.I'm usually skeptical of colored lights like this, because I always feel let down. But, these exceeded my expectations. They are a bit expensive, but they are very vibrant and look as good as (or even better than) advertised.

Amazing lights. Great workmanship. I can recommend this product. Only thing I didn’t like was the command strips. I recommend getting all weather. Some walls are hot or cooler and due to this I have seen my lights fall from their adhesive. I then thought about it and found the all weather ones by command strips and it does wonders. Hope this helps

I love this thing! It's a bit expensive but the installation and its functions are super intuitive and easy! No problems. No connectivity issues. Just all good!

Really nice bright light. They can light up a room pretty well. The panels are not at maximum brightness in the picture.

Other than a few app issues during setup, and a few connectivity issues during firmware updates, I'm really loving these lights. They are just too cool. The Google Assistant integration was such a nice surprise.

The panels are great and work fine but for something that isn't cheap I'd expect the app to work fine with it. The app is horrible for me and most of the time doesn't connect to the panels even though it's been reset multiple times.Quite annoying going to lay down in bed and the app decides to not connect so you have to get back up and manually turn it off with the button on the receiver.
