This is the best smart light I've ever owned!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 18, 2016

This is the best smart light I've ever owned, having tried some of the Philips ones over the years.
It truly is a work of art, allowing you to create your own patterns and colour schemes to suit any room in your home.

First off, delivery was crazy fast. I received the Aurora the next day despite ordering it at 11pm the previous night. What's also great about it is that I'm not even an Amazon Prime subscriber!!! Thanks Amazon!

The packaging is very sturdy and stylish, if not basic. There's an outer sleeve that covers the cardboard box which is easy to slide off.
Inside, the Aurora is perfectly packaged with all 9 lighting panels stacked on top of each other. In between each panel is a stencil (a bit like tracing paper) which can be used to map out and plan your design on your wall which is a really helpful extra!!! I'd advise sticking the stencils up with some blue tack, just make sure it doesn't make your walls!
Next to the panels, there are 2 boxes. One with all the cables you need (includes the standard 3 pin UK plug as well as the US style 2 pin plug) and the power supply unit. The other box has the power adaptor inside along with an envelope with the connector chips and sticky pads to attach the panels to the wall.

I found the easiest way to set things up was to lay it all out on the floor and pick the design you want. It'll make things so much easier when you finally decide to put it on your wall.
Each light panel has 3 connector slots (1 on each flat side of the panel).
These connector slots are joined together by connector chips that look a little bit like mobile phone SIM cards (These are inside the envelope that I mentioned before). They slot in very easily and send the power to each connecting panel.
One thing that does worry me about the connector chips is that they feel like they could snap if they had any sort or force applied to them. I actually had a moment where I had fixed mine to the wall and didn't put enough sticky pads on the back of the light panels. This made the top 4 panels tip forward off the wall, luckily, I caught it before it properly fell off and snapped the connector chips.
Just be sure to add enough sticky pads on the back of your panels. You don't have to stick them on every single one, just have enough to hold the weight evenly.

Once you've made your design, all you have to do is slot the power supply unit in to one of the panel slots (I plugged mine in the bottom panel) and plug the whole thing in to the mains. The power supply unit is very basic and simple. It has 2 buttons on it, one to turn the power on/off and one to cycle through all the different colour scenes. (7 preset scenes)
Whilst you can use the cycle button, I would definitely advise on downloading the app on your phone, it's a lot more fun and it allows you to design your own scenes as well as adjust the preset ones (Colour, speed, direction etc).

The Aurora connects to your phone using your Wifi connection so make sure it's all on when connecting to the app. On downloading the app, I had a little bit of an issue getting my phone and the Aurora to talk to each other. It was mainly down to my stupidity, I somehow managed to press the wrong thing and couldn't get my phone to recognise the Aurora. To sort the problem out, I had to delete the app and try again, which seemed to work. During the set up, it asks you to hold your phone up to a code on the back of power supply unit. It'll then focus in on the code and move on to the next page of the set up.
It is pretty straight forward, even though I was stupid enough to mess it up first time. Just read the prompts on screen and follow the tutorial.
It will take a minute or two for the Aurora to link to your phone so be patient with it and you'll be up and running in no time!

Along with the preset scenes, there are 4 extra options/profiles for the iPhone app. These link in to HomeKit and are called 'Arrive Home', 'Good Morning', 'Good Night' and 'Leave Home'. I've not played around with these too much but they're straight forward enough to set and use.
If you're using an iPhone or iPad, as said above, you can connect to HomeKit. Whilst there aren't any customisation options (creating your own scenes isn't an option) it still works perfectly. All the preset scenes will be there along with any you've created on the Nanoleaf Aurora app. You can use your Apple Watch HomeKit app to control them too.

Another great feature is the use of Siri. Once the app is up and running you'll be able talk to Siri and set scenes, colours, brightness and turn it on/off just by asking. My little boy loves asking Siri to change the colour. That's how easy it is to use!!

As well as being able to create new scenes on the app, you can select an option called 'Schedules'. Here you can set a time for your Aurora to turn on or off. This can be set to hourly, daily or weekly. I've not really used this option yet but I can imagine it's quite useful in the bedroom to help you wake up in the morning.

You can connect other Aurora units that you may have in other rooms so that they all sync up together. You can name each Aurora unit so that you know which unit is in which room. You can then toggle between them and control those specific lights in what ever way you like. There's also a way to invite other phones to connect to your Aurora. Just select the option on the app and follow the prompts. All very straight forward!

The tutorial will help you in everything you need or want to do but the Nanoleaf website also has plenty of info should you need it. Also, there are plenty of videos on YouTube on the official Nanoleaf channel. Sadly I can't add the links here so Google search and YouTube search for the official Nanoleaf sites for further info.

When you come to mount the panels to the wall, I'd advise the first panel to be attached with 3 sticky pads. This panel will be taking most of the weight so, in my opinion, needs to be most secure. On my display, this panel also has the power supply unit attached to it, which I've also stuck to the wall.
It will all depend on how you decide to put them on the wall of course. If you're putting them up in a horizontal line, you'll need to attach more sticky pads. I have mine vertical up my wall (see picture) and have only used about 6 sticky pads.

Once you've attached it all to the wall you can sit back and enjoy tinkering about with all the setting, creating very cool scenes that suit your every need!

This lighting kit is just brilliant. It really does look like a work of art on your wall. What's even more awesome is that it's energy saving too! It feels a lot more brighter than a normal house bulb and saves you money at the same time.
I've added an expansion pack on mine which is 3 extra light panels. This has made my room noticeably brighter, not by much but enough for me to notice. Currently you can connect up to 30 panels to one power supply unit. I'm hoping to get some more expansion packs in the future and you'll be able to read my review on those soon.

If you're in the market for new set of lights, you can't go wrong with this unit. It's quirky, cool and will save you money. Yes, I know £179.99 is a lot of money but I honestly feel like it's worth every penny.

One last thing, I have a bit of inside information that they will be releasing connectors that will allow you connect light panels around the corners of your room. This will look very cool if you have them snaking from wall to wall or on to the ceiling.
Keep you eyes out for them towards the beginning of next year!!!

Please feel free to contact me for any further information. I'll gladly help you out in any way I can!

Enjoy!

Non è un giocattolo

Reviewed in Italy on December 27, 2018

PER TUTTI:
Questi triangoli led (full color) possono risolvere in ogni arredo, basta la fantasia. La qualità è ai massimi livelli per questo genere di prodotto. Hanno anche una luminosità importante, oltre che da illuminotecnica da arredo possono fare tranquillamente da luce tradizionale.
Sono di facile montaggio e configurazione, anche con soli 9 triangoli si possono fare tante forme.
L'APP e l'eventuale gestione tramite Alexa è facile e intuitiva.

PER ESPERTI:
Ho titolato che non sono giocattoli perché sono veramente realizzati bene.
Il triangolo bianco che diffonde la luce è realizzato molto bene, i colori sulla superficie sono mescolati omogenei senza macchie colorate. Le fonti led sono praticamente invisibili.
Le possibilità di fissaggio poi sono infinite e ben studiate grazie ai molteplici accessori opzionali e ai biadesivi a corredo.
La gestione di questi triangoli RGBW è molto intuitiva grazie alla efficiente APP che ci consente di creare scene fisse e animazioni particolarmente curate.
Lavorando nel settore ho esaminato a fondo questi triangoli led. Il campionamento della quadricromia avviene a 8 bit quindi per ogni triangolo abbiamo 256 step di regolazione dei singoli canali RGBW. L'elettronica interna provvede alla gestione dei 4 canali tramite i classici parametri RGB, il bianco (W) viene dosato in automatico dal regoled interno.
In caso di utilizzo in dmx avremo l'R G B W separato in 4 canali.
La qualità della gestione colore è ai massimi livelli per un sistema a 8 bit, sono riuscito a emulare con sufficiente realtà svariate gelatine della LEE.
Una prova che ho fatto, prevedendo anche un uso cine-televisivo è stato quello del fattore "flicker free".
Queste Nanoleaf riprese con una telecamera lavorano a tutti i livelli senza sfarfallii di sorta o modulazioni strane della luce.
Anche a livello "casalingo" il flicker free" è importante... evita il mal di testa.
Spesso i sistemi led "economici" NON tengono conto di questa caratteristica importante riguardante la nostra salute.
Ottimo anche il software di gestione e l'idea di principio delle mattonelle auto configuranti.
Ogni triangolo possiede ovviamente 3 punti di collegamento elettrico a 4 poli (n.2 pin power e n.2 pin dati).
I triangoli quindi comunicano al APP anche la loro configurazione geometrica oltre che il semplice numero.
Questo sistema oltre a semplificare l'installazione, ogni triangolo lavora a se con a bordo la sua elettronica di gestione e i regoled, favorisce la manutenzione.
Ovviamente per gli utilizzi in grande numero o scenografici consiglio la gestione con l'adattatore DMX (opzionale).
In questo modo possiamo creare scenografie, grandi forme e gestirle con un banco luci adeguato.
In una installazione con enormi quantità potremmo usarle anche inglobate a sistemi video.
Un difetto?
Forse l'unica pecca e quella superficie bianca dei triangoli che se investita da un forte luce ambiente e esterna potrebbe disturbare i colori ma... fino ad un certo punto, le Nanoleaf sono molto potenti.

Buon divertimento a tutti

Increible sistema de iluminación

Reviewed in Spain on December 4, 2017

Compré el kit de Aurora Nanoleaf para mi chico, ya que es un apasionado de la iluminación. Creí que era "la luz definitiva" y no me equivocaba, ya que con ella puedes hacer todo lo que te imagines: puedes iluminar la habitación del color (o los colores) que quieras, que los colores vayan cambiando, ajustar su brillo... tiene sinfín de posibilidades. La verdad es que estamos super contentos con ella.
Su instalación es sencilla, simplemente hay que decidir qué forma queremos darle y poner unas tiras de pegamento de doble banda (ya incluidos en el pack) detrás de los triangulitos. Después, los triangulos conectan entre si con una especie de chip rectangular que hay que poner entre ellos (suena complicado pero no lo es). Eso si, no está pensado para montarlo de una forma y luego quererlo cambiarlo, ya que se engancha muy fuerte en la pared.
Lo recomendaría a cualquiera que le guste la iluminación. ¡A nosotros nos gusta tanto que estamos pensando en ampliarlo!

Ce produit est vraiment High tech , compatible Homekit ,chez moi je l'ai programmer pour que quand j'arrive près de ma maison les lumières phillips hue et aurora s'allume (il faut avoir une Apple TV ou un IPAD pour ça) , on peut choisir parmi des scènes déjà programmé, moi j'ai choisit la scène nemo, on peut crez une combinaison de couleur l'enregistrer comme scène, il y a encore des restriction pour faire pareil que les scènes d'origine, il ne me manque plus qu'un bon capteur de présence compatible Homekit pour améliorer le tout ( Le EVE étant Bluetooth et non wifi il ne convient pas vraiment)
Selon nanoleaf un capteur de son et une programmation DMX devrais arrivé, car pour l’instant a part les scènes prédéfinit ( telechargable) je n'ai pas trouvé comment faire des combinaison sympa. des connecteurs en angle sont prévue aussi, de double scotch d'origine tient vraiment bien, par contre le jour ou je le déplace cela posera certainement problème
Sinon la couleur de chaque triangle est paramétrable (pour crez des drapeaux) et les transitions paramétrable en style luminosité et vitesse
C'est un produit qui en jète et qui promet si son évolution continue, les panneaux éclaire très fort c'est magnifique

Pour la mise en route j'ai eu un souci avec la reconnaissance wifi , j'avais paramétré ma box avec un mot de passe wifi court, apperement il y a un problème avec la bande 5GHZ, J'ai résolue le problème en remettant le mot de passe et la protection (wpa?) d'origine du wifi

Le prix est assez élevé surtout si on veut rajouter des triangles , mais pour l'instant j'ai rien vue de mieux, vraiment bravo

This is a review I recently posted to the iTunes Store, focussing on the NanoLeaf Smarter Series app for iPhone and iPad, which is an important part of this kit. However, I reproduce it here as it's directly relevant to the overall usage of this kit, and covers capabilities and impressions of the hardware too.
————————————————

Impressive kit - a bit expensive but there's nothing else like it.

The NanoLeaf Aurora (with which I use this app) is *really* good. Rich even colours, trivially simple assembly, and enough light output to influence the mood of a medium-sized room. The default 9-panel kit is roughly comparable to a 60W incandescent bulb, though some colours are dimmer, and you can add up to 21 more panels - 7 extension kits - to the array to increase the size, flexibility and light output, provided you can afford them - the costs mount up fast! The power supply will handle a total of 30 panels without the brightness of any panel suffering. You can also toggle between predefined themes and animations on the control panel of the kit without using the app.

But while they can't be fully separated, this review is primarily of the app, rather than the lighting kit it controls.

The app autodetects the layout of your Aurora panels, which is very slick. All you need to do is rotate the onscreen panel map to the right orientation. Sometimes it forgets that orientation, which is a minor and fixable frustration, and I wish it snapped to sensible angles if you are within a gnat's whisker - it's slightly irritating when you can see it's a fraction off but can't quite get it right. Minor issues, though.

You have direct control of individual panels, plus a good selection of interesting animations. You can create your own colour palette with which the animation modes operate - for example, my wife requested an "autumn" theme when I installed our Aurora, and I was able to create something which gave the effect of autumnal colours (mostly browns and dark yellows, with the occasional flash of green) smoothly varying in a few minutes. There will always be a desire for additional animation modes to be implemented, but what's there now is pretty good.

Changing colours and painting them on to individual panels is easy, but sorting colours in palettes is a little fiddly - you can add and remove colours by tapping a (+) button or dragging them off and "throwing them away", but some of the animation patterns favour the first colour in the list ("Highlight" will display mostly the first colour with occasional flashes of the additional colours), and I was surprised to find that I wasn't able to drag the colours around to re-order them. Again, fixable, and I'm confident this will be addressed.

Setup was impressively easy - it's simple and seamless. Integration with existing HomeKit lights is slightly problematic - it works, but HomeKit is currently reporting an error with setting some themes (despite actually setting them successfully). Presumably this is something to do with my current Philips Hue lights not understanding the animation commands for the Aurora. I suspect this can be solved by something like re-saving the themes with the Aurora settings included, but I haven't been able to find a way yet. From what I've seen, setting up a new HomeKit from scratch should be trivial. Otherwise, HomeKit integration of the Aurora is very good - you can give the usual brightness, theme and on/off commands to Siri, and if you have an AppleTV (4th generation) in your home, you can operate it from outside the home too... though note this applies /only/ to HomeKit operation, not to the app. You can use HomeKit locally or remotely to trigger named themes and palettes defined in the app, but you can't use the app to create new themes or palettes unless you're within the same wireless network as the Aurora.

Stability seems good for the short time I have used the app, and the version history shows a decent attention to detail - some of the criticisms I've seen of the earlier versions of the app in magazine reviews have been addressed, and new features added such as scene downloads. NanoLeaf's well-documented beta application programming interface for the Aurora suggests there's room for more capabilities, so I'm optimistic about the future for the app. Also, their published roadmap mentions such upcoming features as upcoming sound sensitivity (with a hardware add-on), scene sharing, and music visualisations, all planned to be implemented during 2017. The future for this app and these lights is, if you'll forgive the pun, bright.

Nanoleaf Aurora - Ottimo arredamento smart!

Reviewed in Italy on October 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

Nella spartana confezione (spedita senza neanche metterla in una scatola, male Amazon a questo giro) troviamo 9 pannelli, 10 connettori per unirle tra loro, delle linguette biadesive per fissarle al muro (una ventina), adattatore con prolunga alla fine della quale è presente un comando che andrà a connettersi al primo pannello, su questo sono presenti due pulsanti per controllare manualmente i pannelli e un led di notifica.

Questo sistema è compatibile con Apple Homekit, quindi potremo accenderlo e spegnerlo tramite Siri o la app Casa di Apple, è inoltre presente sullo store la specifica app per configurare i pannelli. Su iOs l'app è molto curata e completa, la prima volta che apriremo una specifica opzione un breve tutorial spiegherà le nozioni basilari. Da essa possiamo visualizzare e scaricare scene create da altri utenti oppure crearne una da zero. Queste scene possono essere statiche o in movimento con i pannelli che cambiano ciclicamente colore.

La luce emessa dai pannelli è discreta, ma sono comunque un elemento di arredamento piuttosto che una vera e propria fonte di illuminazione.

Consigli per l'installazione: provate prima di tutto a comporre la figura che vorreste riprodurre sul muro su un tavolo o su un'altra superficie, accendendo anche i pannelli ed eseguendo la prima configurazione in modo da controllare che sia tutto funzionante.
In seguito usate i fogli presenti nella confezione per dividere un pannello dal successivo (sono nove e hanno la stessa forma) per attaccarli con una punta di adesivo sul muro nel punto in cui volete installare il sistema, per verificare che sia di vostro gradimento.
Una volta trovata la giusta posizione procedete all'applicazione dei pannelli veri e propri, magari aiutandovi con una livella prima di applicare il primo. Attaccateli in gruppi da 2 o 3 e utilizzate i pannelli adiacenti o il comando per nascondere le linguette biadesive. Se avete dubbi ci sono diversi tutorial su Youtube.

In conclusione questo prodotto mi è piaciuto molto, probabilmente è superfluo ma da un tocco di personalità in più alla nostra casa. Consigliato!

Produit excellent et original mais pas parfait...

Reviewed in France on August 9, 2018

Ces panneaux lumineux sont un excellent produit très décoratif et orginal. S’intègre parfaitement dans un environnement HomeKit. L’application sur smartphone est bien conçue et permet facilement de commander les panneaux. Un certain nombre de petits points négatifs néanmoins:
- La fixation pas adhésif n’inspire pas confiance car chaque panneau est relativement lourd mine de rien! Et en effet, au bout de quelques jours, plusieurs panneaux se sont détachés d’eux mêmes et sont tombés sur le sol! Ils étaient attachés sur de la tapisserie, ce qui peut expliquer la mauvaise adhésion. Cependant, je peux attester de la très bonne robustesse des panneaux car aucun défaut visible malgré la chute!
- Suite à ce problème, j’ai acheté le kit de fixation par vis des panneaux. Le problème c’est qu’il faut être prêt dans ce cas à transformer son mur en gruyère! En effet, il faut mettre une vis dans chaque coin de chaque triangle. Pour fixer les 9 triangles, il faut mettre 11 vis dans le mur! Et bien sûr, une fois que tout est fixé avec les vis, il faut oublier toute idée de déplacement des panneaux! La forme géométrique que vous aurez donné avec les triangles est figée dans le marbre!
- Autre détail: la télécommande propose un bouton pour allumer/éteindre et un bouton pour changer de scénario, mais malheureusement aucun bouton pour régler la luminosité. Car il faut savoir que ces panneaux peuvent éclairer vraiment très fort et peuvent même servir d’éclairage principal dans une pièce.
- Au sujet de la luminosité, il est dommage que Nanoleaf ne propose pas un petit module avec un capteur de luminosité intégré pour que la luminosité des panneaux s’adapte automatiquement à son environnement. Je leur ai fait la suggestion d’ailleurs...
Au final, avec un système de fixation mieux pensé et un réglage automatique de la luminosité, ce produit aurait été absolument parfait!
