Nanoleaf takes a more natural approach with its Elements panels

Nanoleaf is recognized for earning dear, but remarkable, mild panels of several designs and dimensions that can be customized to show off your favorite shades, react to what is actually on your gaming computer’s display or set the scene for film night time. Individually, I use some Nanoleaf panels in a dwelling automation set up that turns the square panels into a purpose mild when I’m observing hockey. 

But when the panels are turned off, the off-white color does not always blend in. On Thursday, Nanoleaf announced a new line of wise dwelling mild panels that shift absent from what the business is currently recognized for. 

The 1st product in the Nanoleaf Features line is the Wooden Glance Hexagons, which, as the name indicates, have a wood grain search on their entrance. Instead of RBG lights, Nanoleaf has absent with far more traditional white lighting, with options ranging from 1500-4000K (neat to heat mild). 

I have been tests the Wooden Glance Hexagons for a pair of months, and although the wood color does not match anything in my place of work, I enjoy the new tactic. Even even though I knew the panels highlighted lights in each corner of the hexagon that could mild up or improve mild temperature independently of just one yet another, it was not until I installed the panels and turned them on for the 1st time that I realized how critical that function is. 

By making it possible for each corner to mild up on its have, you can nonetheless get the identical interactive sensation and consequences of the far more vibrant Shapes, Canvas or Light-weight Panels. 

I linked the panels to my HomeKit set up and joined them to my place of work mild change to change on or off primarily based on my overhead lights. There are quite a few various lighting scenes obtainable for the Features, each of which has a various search. I picked the Calming Waterfall lighting possibility, which makes use of several lights to mimic a waterfall of lights that shift slowly back and forth throughout the panels. 

There are quite a few far more scenes that appear with Features, and you can make your have mix of lighting consequences.
