No Matter, no Thread, no adaptive lighting, and $250 for 3 panels? No way, I don't mine expensive and high quality products. I do mind lazy and overpriced products.
-
Thank you for not sugar coating this review! It's hard to find reviews that are honest and actually cover the real consumer issues/drawbacks to these products.
-
It’s beyond me why manufacturers don’t reach out to people like you, Shane, before running a full production. The issues you bring up are obvious to people like us, Nanoleaf could’ve hit a home run with this.
-
Dang... when I clicked on this video I immediately wanted these for my garage/golf sim, but this prices are WILD!
-
Hi readers, and Shane. We just installed the skylight and loving it. We just hired a handyman who did a good job. And this is how I solved the switch issue. All across the house I replaced the regular (dumb) switches by connecting the 2 wires (so always on) in the switch box. Then I covered the switch box holes with the Aqara H1 switches, that screws in perfectly closing the holes, and is the same dimension as the switches. Then i control the Aqara switches over homekit.

Shane my Sundays are not complete until I hear the intro of your videos
-
Love the lights but absence of adaptive lighting is a deal breaker for me. Loving your setup.
-
I’ve got mine early and got to set mine up the same day the app was updated to support it! I love it I think it looks very nice and bright, I love the senses and etc and me myself am happy with the purchase but I love LEDs and I love Nanoleafs from there other products I have
-
They are hard as heck to align up correctly. Even straight line is a factor if the room is small. The more panels you add the more the alignment issue increases. Also there is a pronounced shadow in the center of the panels.
-
I have been waiting for these to come out! I have the old school two tube fluorescent light in my kitchen that I want to replace with these.
-
Love the countdown graphics
-
Looks awesome Shane!! Question for you. Where is that power setting to select for it to come on at the last setting used? I can’t find anything like that. I bought the 4D for my new tv and when I turn it on it’s always solid white. I want it to come on with the same mirroring settings each time but I have to go into the nanoleaf app to change it. It’s getting annoying.
-
Very slick looking product Shane. I kinda dig the Live Premier video release. I wish these lights were getting better reviews. Seems, from The YouTubes, that Skylights may have been released before they were fully finished. Thanks for the video!
-
Shane thank you for the video, this is a product that is worth having in your home. My only question is if you wanted to keep a smart switch on the wall which ones can you use that are compatible with these lights? Hydrogen
-
I love Nanoleaf's stuff, it's seriously cool! But ngl (not gonna lie), my Nanoleaf bulbs have been acting funky lately. I gotta reset them like, once or twice a week, and I keep thinking it's my Wi-Fi, but I'm starting to doubt it. For the price tag, you shouldn't have to deal with this much trouble. Hopefully Nanoleaf can fix this with an app update or something, or maybe give us some better troubleshooting tips! Thank you for sharing and being so cool!
-
Thanks for the vid ! I have almost every every product they released ! Even their collaborations with other brands .. but … I’m starting to doubt their reliability.. their app that needs a serious update, their firmware update that often fails ! .. and finally the after sales support who is not responsive at all !! All of that at premium price .. i don’t know , I really love their ideas , but better I wait for someone else to copy that !
-
Ground wire - assuming you tied that down to a green screw on a mounting bracket? I did on my Skylight setup.
-
Is it possible to turn on just one or a select number of the squares or does all of the connected squares have to be turned on?
-
These lights are really cool. Nanoleaf makes some great products but they always have issues. Wasnt surprised to hear you already had trouble with them not connecting. The price seems too high and to know they won’t work flawless makes me hold off. I have a few sets of different shapes and lines and have had issues with them all. My ocd wouldn’t handle those spaces in your ceiling line up for the square. Will wait for Govee to make a similar product.
-
I Told Govee to do modular cloud ceiling panels like this over a year ago. Maybe this will actually get them to do it.
