The Rise of Nano Leaf Aurora Light Panels: A Review

As I stood there, surrounded by my editing setup, I couldn't help but feel a sense of skepticism about the Nano Leaf Aurora light panels. They were the new craze among tech enthusiasts and YouTubers, and I had bought them solely to review them for you guys. My initial intention was to dismiss them as a novelty item and return them, but the more I learned about their capabilities and features, the more I wanted to keep them.

The Nano Leaf Aurora light panels are designed to add a pop of color and aesthetic appeal to any setup or room. They are thin, bright, and extremely saturated in color, making them perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to a space. The panels are also equipped with tiny Nano chips that connect all the lights together, creating a sleek and modern design. When I first set up my panel, I was impressed by how easy it was to mount on the wall using 3M sticky tape. However, as I began to experiment with different designs and arrangements, I started to notice some drawbacks.

One of the biggest concerns I had was the price point. $200 is an absolute steal for a product that offers so much value in terms of aesthetic appeal and functionality. While it's not cheap, I understand that high-end products often come with a higher price tag. However, I couldn't shake off the feeling that Nano Leaf Aurora light panels are overpriced, especially considering that there are more affordable alternatives available.

Another issue I had was with the mounting process. As I mounted my panel on the wall, I noticed that the cable coming down from it was quite visible and unsightly. This wasn't a major concern for me, as I'm someone who is extremely cautious about cable management. However, I can imagine that some people might find it distracting or annoying. Thankfully, the Nano Leaf Aurora light panels come with white cables that blend in with the surrounding environment.

I also experienced some minor issues with the lighting effects while using the app. Occasionally, when I closed out of the app or turned off my phone screen, the lighting effects would pause and then resume automatically. This happened frequently enough to be annoying, especially when I was filming videos or creating content. However, I'm hoping that a firmware update might address this issue in the future.

Despite these minor drawbacks, I must say that the Nano Leaf Aurora light panels have grown on me. They're incredibly bright and saturated in color, making them perfect for adding a pop of color to any setup or room. The design is sleek and modern, and the tiny Nano chips that connect all the lights together are impressive. Overall, I think these panels are a great addition to anyone's collection, especially those who want to add some extra flair to their setup.

In conclusion, the Nano Leaf Aurora light panels are a game-changer for anyone looking to add some color and aesthetic appeal to their space. While they come with some drawbacks, such as an expensive price point and minor issues with cable management, I believe that the benefits far outweigh the costs.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys I'm random Frank P today we're going to be checking out these Nano Leaf Aurora light panels and these are all the craze right now as a host of room tour project I've been seeing these in more and more submissions and amongst the Tech Community these are growing in popularity like no one's business you're starting to see a lot more YouTubers have them but what's the big deal are they worth that $200 price point what's their main purpose really so in this video we're going to take a look at them I'll talk about its features and my overall opinion on these nanoleaf Aurora panels first off in the Box you get nine individual trying angular panels I picked them up for my local Best Buy like I said for a $200 price tag which is kind of ridiculous in my opinion inside the box everything is packaged nicely so nothing gets damaged and in this kit we have the nine panels the little connecting Nano chips I like to call them this is what's going to connect each panel to each other you get a ton of 3M sticky tape to attach these to the wall whatever surface you're using them on plus the power brick at first glance these panels are very thin and lightweight and that was probably the main focus here considering you have to actually Mount these then on each side of the Triangular panels there's a little cutout for where the Chip is going to go like I mentioned these little chips are how you connect all the panels to each other and it's what's going to really connect them all then from here you really have the creativity to design whatever pattern you want since only one side has to be connected to the next panel you definitely have some Freedom here to kind of make whatever pattern you please since we have nine panels we are kind of limited to the design choices but there are certain extension kits out there you can buy more panels then once you connect the little power panel to one of the sides it's going to light everything up on that main panel there is a power button plus an effect and color changing button if you don't want to use the app but I highly recommend it as you can see now I have them mounted above my monitors and above my setup overall and it really adds a cool new look to my setup I think and at night time it still lights up my entire room and even part of the living room right outside now I'm going to show you a quick run through of the app and I want to kill all my lights and you can see just how bright these really are it's very Vivid and saturated so you're not getting dull lights or dly colored lights these are the real deal now when you go inside the app you have a lot of room and freedom to change up the colors each individual panel going through you have things like color burst Flames which is going to give you a lot of you know reddish and orangish colors the forest is going to show off a lot of green Hues inner piece is going to be more cool tones Nemo is orange and white Northern Lights is again more of like an R GB rainbow wave romantic is a lot of Pinks and purples and snowfall is really cool it's what I was showing off with the bluish and white panels flashing also in the scenes you can see there's an arrive home and good morning good night and leave home you could set these to toggle like when you leave the house lights will shut off say you want these you have these in your bedroom and once 7:00 a.m. hits they will turn on and shine very bright in your room the next tab for rooms is going to show off really whatever rooms you have these connected in so you can have multiple panels set up but the main Aurora tab is where you're going to have all the freedom to really change up and mess with your color effects you can go through and select each panel individually and change the color from one of the palettes or go in and make your own custom color they also have certain recommended palettes for you to pick from if you like a certain color scheme and on the bottom is the transitions where it shows none where it's just going to be flashing the one static color random is going to pulse your panels in all different colors you have flow wheel highlight fade and burst those are all just different really shining and pulsing effects for your lights then on the bottom for the options you can go through and change the direction whether it's like in a wheel pattern again um up and down left or right gives you a lot of choices and one thing I really like is it shows your pattern that you've created in real time so whatever design you make it'll appear there on the app and if you disconnect one and connect it to a different area that will then also appear right there on the live feed the app is just really user friendly and intuitive to give you the tools to really create whatever color or effect you want but now I'm going to talk about my overall experience we're going to talk about really all the the things that I want to kind of vent about with these lights like I mentioned these are the new crazees you're seeing them with a lot of tech YouTubers out there however when I bought these I honestly bought them to do this to make a review for you guys talk about the craze to dismiss them and then probably return them but they're definitely growing on me and I'm not proud to say that 200 bucks is just crazy I don't like the fact that I even spent 200 for these but now that I have them set up now that I see what they're fully capable of and just how cool they look I kind of want to keep them and it's fun funny because the only main purpose they really serve is to aesthetically add some more color and pop to my setup and honestly when I'm in this room editing or something I don't care what the room looks like this is only going to really appeal to I guess you guys out there the viewers so I can have this in the background of certain videos and it's going to add some extra color and pop to my background so yes they're extremely bright they're very saturated in color they look nice they're thin that's all great but there were some cons that I want to talk about first and foremost I already mentioned it 200 bucks is ridiculous the second con which happened infrequently but it kind of annoyed me when I was setting up and filming some of these shots when I had the app up and running if I would close out of the app or you know turn my phone screen off sometimes the lighting effects would just pause didn't happen too much but it happened enough where it was very annoying while I was filming cuz I had to get the shot back over not too sure what's up with that maybe there's a firmware update coming out soon that would really fix that but I did want to point that out the third con I wanted to mention was was the mounting process um if you're putting these above your setup like I did or somewhere in your room you are going to have a cable coming down which is definitely going to be an eyesore thankfully it is white so you can't really notice it on my setup um but I'm just someone who is you know extremely cautious about Cable Management I hate cables anywhere so that was kind of annoying and then we also had like I said we have these very tiny Nano chips which going to connect all the light panels together they are so small they're so thin and once you have the entire unit built up whatever design it does have some weight and it's kind of flimsy because you have all these panels connected to this one giant thing and this is the only thing keeping them together so it was kind of annoying to have it all together and mount it on my wall I used a lot of the 3M sticky tape and a lot of tape on the back just to go over the surface doesn't fall off whatever when I was mounting I'm still kind of nervous it's going to fall off my wall as it is but I think they could have thought of possibly a different or thicker or better way to connect them than just this cuz I'm kind of nervous about them falling so in the end you guys after the consumers are going to have to decide if $200 is worth it just to add some extra color and pop to your setup I feel like 98% you at there are going to say hell no there's also that 2% myself included and people in The Tech Community who do want to add some extra pop to their setups or their room just to make it look a little bit cooler and these are definitely going to achieve that but I just think it is a ridiculous price point and I'm still up in the air whether I'm going to keep these or return them and I guess you'll find out in the next like month or so if you still see these above my setup or not not I just want to get this video out there had a lot of people asking me about these whether they're worth it whether I recommend them or not and just a general what they're all about because I've just seen them all over now and I just want to get a video out there for you guys who are interested in them hope you all
