@@tommytexter4054 Yeah.. well they look cheep and light distribution is not good.. That together makes them look like I made them at home and not paid that big price tag.. Auroras on other hand do have more unified light and do look a bit nicer and more interesting.. They are overpriced too but I feel that they worth more.. Nanoleaf tile are better than these as well bc their light is also more uniform but they have they own missaligment problems which could and should be fixed via software especially at that price..
"The Nanoleaf patent conversation really underscores the importance of finding a balance between protecting intellectual property and encouraging innovation. It's a delicate dance that can shape the future of technology."
These solve some of the biggest issues with aurora. The deadspace in the corners and chunky control panel are gone for instance. The problem is the price, at this price point you are almost guaranteed to have buyers remorse.
I’m just wondering...should this company go out of business, will the app disappear? Because, without the app controller, all you will have is a wall full of expensive plastic squares.
I have 2 sets of nano-leaves in my room and I think that they are equals because the triangle effect really gives of some nice accents. The ripple feature is very nice though, I don't have enough wall space to get any canvass sadly...
hey there, you said you had 2 sets of nano-leaves? i want to buy some too, and place some at 2 maybe 3 different spots in my room. all spots are a few meters away from each other, so i was wondering if i had to get a "starter kit" for every spot? and if so, if i could connect them together to controll all spots at once? so they'd all change colors at the same time for example. i know you wrote this comment 2 years ago, but maybe you can still help me out :D
To be fair, the Philips hue light strips are a totally different lighting application. And to be honest, you will be hard pressed to find a lighting solution as sleek as nanoleaf. I have not found anything comparable as far as size, lighting options, or with the ability to place anywhere (ceiling, wall..etc). If anyone does happen to find a comparable and more affordable option please respond to this comment. Many thanks.
So disappointed. I bought a starter pack and 2 four pack expansions. They look horrible. I have a 30 of orig panels that are night and day 100% better looking. The 4-way split makes them look so cheap. They look like they have cloudy dark smoke behind corners. They really missed the mark here. Again very upset and prob sending them back.
Lars Rye Jeppesen great company. I just spoke to the owners at CES and they said Home Depot wanted it that way and at the end of the day they need to make money. New quadrangles look sick coming end of this year!!
@@Pastramowitz I got mine now, I'm pretty satisfied with them. Will definitely keep them, however I get what you're saying. The quadrangles look interesting.
Lars Rye Jeppesen I kept mine. I just won’t buy anymore. I did end up buying 30 triangles of the CES show floor. And shocked to find out I can put 60 triangles on one power supply. They had stated only 30 could be on one. Not true mine has been running 60 of them for almost a month.
Completely agree. I have the triangular panels and they are solid colours without the joins. I don't understand why these square panels have them as it makes them look cheap.
YIPS! Based on the collective elements/components content of this product. There is absolutely NO reason this product should CO$T as much, as it does. I’ve work in set design and, there are MANY other creative ways in achieving this look. ADDITIONALLY, with a supremely better effect, at a better $...This should ONLY co$t HALF to ONE THIRD the standard listed price. IF THAT!!
These are dumb because they aren't clean squares. I don't know why they decided to go forward with this stupid square design inside each panel. should've looked more like the LIFX panels which are clean Aurora are better still
I have read Home Depot reviews that mention the paint pulls off when removing the tile. Can you explain how you claim no damage or residue in this video?
You kinda have to know how to use CommandIt strips to make them work properly. Otherwise if you just yank them off the wall, they're still a pretty good adhesive so they probably will pull paint off the wall. What you're supposed to do is grab that little curved edge and pull it out gradually parallel to the wall. The way they work is the backing material stretches which breaks the bond of the adhesive so that it isn't strong enough to damage the wall as it peels off. It's not Velcro and it doesn't work like Velcro, and if you try to use it like something it's not, you're going to be disappointed.
$259.99 for 9 LED panels? are you shitting me? They are simple LED lights that cost maybe less then a dollar to manufacture. You can make your own for probably $30 easy.
You can make 8-bit images. Think old style icons or video games. Can be used for art or for fun. Kid's rooms can spell their name. Gamers can make images of Mario or Zelda. You have zero imagination.
Well for $300, I can cover 2.5 square feet with 9 "pixels" that change colour (woo). Or I could buy 40" TV screen to put on that wall instead that has more than 2.1 million pixels and I can hook it up wirelessly to my PC (which is millions of times "smarter that the so called "smart" tile that run the Nanoleaf kit). Or if it is the "sleek" look you after, get a cheap $300 dlp led projector and project some colour changing squares onto some blank art canvases (you can literally buy them at a dollar store). then there are no power or signal wires on your wall and the canvases don't have to be near each other or even parallel for that matter. Nanoleaf looks cool, but it is a (way) overpriced joke.
Which Apple Watch Band are you using in this Video? Kinda wanted to now in the Watchband video as well but no conclusion which one you like most at the end :/
It's aurora - A-RAWR-A- not aura. That sounds terrible when you don't even the original product name right TWICE in the first two minutes. I couldn't even take your review seriously.
Oh get over yourself. If you let a mispronunciation bother you, I feel sorry for you. Must be horrible living a life where you nit-pick everything. Lol
@@ianwyatt1849 Well I kinda get where he's coming from. Some of us just have this thing where if something is off we want to fix it and sometimes we are powerless to do so. If you do not have that, then that's great for you and you don't have to deal with it.
It’d be cool if you could display some info like time, weather etc on the panels.
Probably going to be the next step for these I reckon.
Honestly these look a bit disappointing.. Aurora are much better in my opinion :/
S&S Channel care to explain?
@The Insufferable Tool yeah exactly that!

@@sschannel4550 I have both and I totally disagree. The Canvas are much better.
@@LarsRyeJeppesen Well they might have better options but they look like rgb bathroom tiles and that's awful to me..
Nice video, but it might have been a little better to show off the applied scenes as they were being activated while you were demo'ing the iOS app.
"The Nanoleaf patent conversation really underscores the importance of finding a balance between protecting intellectual property and encouraging innovation. It's a delicate dance that can shape the future of technology."
They should give like 12 in a starter pack maybe more people would buy it
LOL - $262 for the 9 piece kit.
BdiddyB yeah, $29 each vs. $49 each for a Hue bulb that can only sit in a light socket. How terrible of them. 😉
@@babybirdhome lmao you know that a whole set with 9 pieces emits the same amount of light of a single Hue bulb right? hahahaha
@@davidepiovani3320 I have both Canvas, HUE lightstrips, HUE lightbulbs.. you cannot compare the products at all. It doesn't make any sense.
Lars Rye Jeppesen Same I got both too! I can agree whole heartedly

Because, without the app controller, all you will have is a wall full of expensive plastic
squares.
no
even if the app got discontinued, you would still have it installed on your phone so you would still use it, but without the updates
There’s still settings buttons on the main control tile

The "Forest" scene is my favourite
i'mma stay with the Aurora tbh, still cool tho
I guess these look great if you want a bunch of colorful swastikas on your wall.
Would fit well with Apple.
damn lol
Bush family reunion at the ranch
„Pinwheel“ was a generous description
these looks better than the one before
ohhhh
The touch control is cool. I just wish they would have stuck with the triangle design. The squares look ugly
Far too expensive and way too bland looking. Better off with Philips hue lightstrips running across
To be fair, the Philips hue light strips are a totally different lighting application. And to be honest, you will be hard pressed to find a lighting solution as sleek as nanoleaf.

@@automaticactor You can easily remake the triangle nanoleafs yourself. these, im not so sure

Can be this used on ceiling as a main light source? Does they illuminate enough?
The triangular ones seem way better in color and don't have the. Ugly seperation in the middle
Completely agree. I have the triangular panels and they are solid colours without the joins. I don't understand why these square panels have them as it makes them look cheap.
can these be used as the only light or are they too weak???
The tiles has a lot of potential but I think most will stick to the original
I wonder how many you would need to make 2019 or 2020 , 2021 , 2022 ,2023 so on
new years and the shape the numbers of year of the squares ?
Also, work with razer Synapse connect as well

expensive for just rgb led tiles
Yea they are pretty pricy, but they are a company who is pro-sustainability and fair trade and its hard finding electronics who do both
jake nguyen didn’t know that! Very cool
Great review!
Guess there's no way to attach each other to corner walls unless you have a different power outlet?
Candi Soda they have flexible connectors for corners so no need to buy another power outlet
It isn't called the "aura" It's called the Aurora.
Is there a cheaper alternative?
no, probably in future with xiaomi
Do you have a 3d printer and handy with arduino?
moodlite.co.uk/
Please, NINE panels is expensive..
Too expensive for such small panels. I wouldnt need the touch feature. Can you make a bigger, simpler and cheaper version?
These are dumb because they aren't clean squares. I don't know why they decided to go forward with this stupid square design inside each panel. should've looked more like the LIFX panels which are clean
Aurora are better still
I sold my aurora for this shut because I thought they'd work out the crease lol... whoops
I just want to know how bright they are.
Nice, now where is the cheaper, much more accessible alternative?
Aashil R. China. And enjoy having to replace them constantly because they last a week.
The squares are disappointingly tiny and the addon panels are way too expensive
Way to compare with the "AURA?" I think Charlie Murphy saw an AURA around Rick James, first time he met him. True story!
Idk why it makes me mad the way he mispronounces Aurora
I have read Home Depot reviews that mention the paint pulls off when removing the tile.
Can you explain how you claim no damage or residue in this video?
Or Velcro strips

4:21 or you can just turn the tiles around 😒
give it a year and bigger brands and chinese copy cats will produce similar products for half the price.
I think they're really awesome, but even with the sale they are on now, they're still waaaaaay too expensive to even consider.
Omg it‘s Andrew from Blizzard Guides
...why?
ugh, that cord dangling down the wall :(
Yeah thats my biggest gripe with it
@Scooters Videos yup
But who wants to make their home look like a low budget sci-fi noir brothel?

Kid's rooms can spell their name. Gamers can make images of Mario or Zelda.
You have zero imagination.
My imagination doesn’t go beyond this being a product for a child’s room, and being tacky anywhere else.
@@nabukuma yes, that's what I said.
The Aurora looks better. I have 30 panels on my wall and they look amazing. No upgrade for me!

I like my 1080p led wallpaper I created much better.
nice but too expensive for me
Nice review, but are they out of their fucking GOURDS?! $250 for 9 damn tiles that are lame?!
Very impressive🤔
nice video mate your voice is very god bro .................................love you form india
This looks rather dated and aimed at six year olds.
Absolutely horrible product
Slightly overpriced
