One-minute review
Nanoleafhas fast become a popular brand, producing some of thebest smart lightson the market.
For this review, I tested the Hexagons.
The included mounting tape is super strong and bonds quickly, which makes for easier and quicker installation.

Its just as the white panels stand out more on dark walls.
Still, the colors are impressively vibrant given the gear’s design.
Theres also some weirdness in the color assignment with certain smart home controllers - in my case, Alexa.
Overall, though, they worked well.
Should I buy?
Nanoleaf Shapes Ultra Black review: also consider
Still not sold on the Nanoleaf Shapes Ultra Black?
Here are two other options you might want to consider.
These are a much more cyberpunk-esque option, and probably better suited for an office or studio environment.
I installed and paired them following the in-app instructions, evaluating the process for speed and user-friendliness.
I also adjusted the prefs to calibrate the lights to my specific needs.
