Super sick!! I want this for my music studio. I may have to take down some acoustic panels though. I think $250 is right around what it should cost. I would need at least two Hue LED strips and a hub so that should be around $200. This is spot on. Great video man!
Brian, at 4:03 time, you show the triangular nano with a round object on the wall that releases music notes, what is that and where can I purchase one? I love this Nanoleaf Canvas square model. Planning on buying my set as soon as it comes out. Thanks for the review.
Ive been researching lighting like this since Philips released OLED light panels some time back. It's pricey but some people spend small fortunes for fixtures to just install incandescent bulbs... That's the problem with marketing new products. They can't be on par with traditional goods or services. They have to be leagues better and fix all the small inconveniences from the older technology. These lights have plenty of features so they will hopefully lead to good enough sales to further develop the manufacturing and bring down the costs a bit. From electric cars to LED lighting. People dislike change so new ways to do things have to be overwhelmingly better. This includes cost unfortunately, which is often times the downfall of new innovations trying to take hold in the market. It's rare to reach enough capital to be able to market the benefits of a product or service over traditional methods. Usually investments are spent on R&D, manufacturing and distribution. Keep up the good work! CNET has gone down hill since you left, their content is drier than ever. You bring tons of positive energy and your best thoughts about tech to your videos. I think of really enjoy your truthful opinions.
How bright are these panels!? I'm looking to replace a room lamp with these on the wall. Do you think the 9 panel intro-combo will cut it? Will it be bright enough to light the entire room (12x10 in case you're wondering)?
They look really great!! How do they do with Movies? I have some Phillips hue setup but am still so underwhelmed with color connection to movies. I want something that works..... how do we get the studios just to build in lighting tracks to the movie?!?!?
They don't sync with movies in any way, its just all sound, it actually might be more distracting if you had it set behind a movie because the colors are random, but great for music!
Just got mine today and only tested 5 on a Table - man these are beautiful and look so much better than the Triangles. Cannot wait to put them on my Wall. I got a Starter Kit plus 2 expansion packs - a total of 17 Tiles. Found a nice Offer: -20% :-). Crazy fun fact: If I would buy 500 Tiles it would cost me 12thousand4hundert Swiss Francs. Even with the Offer of -20%, it would still be like almost 10thousand. Absolutely insane, but I would love to see a setup like that for real somewhere. In a Club, on the ceiling over the dance floor for example. WhoopWhoop.
These look really cool. But, the difficulty attaching then to the wall, and the huge difficulty removing them if you want to change the design are deal breakers for me. Prediction...the next generation will have a much smarter way of attaching the tiles to the wall. And it will be easy to remove the tiles and change the pattern. Thanks for the video!
Brian, do you know if it's easy/possible to re-attach them to multiple surfaces? Say, if you have them in a bedroom for a while and then want to relocate them to a living room?
@@shawnabrams1200 You can, but its really strong and I had to re adjust one tile and it tore off a tiny section of my wall. They recommend you put three pieces on each square. Just be very OCD, and know exactly what and how you want to place it
You might have better luck with the velcro style command strips. At least then you can remove the panels to get at the tabs that lets you peel it off the wall. Or plan your design, and mount it to thin acrylic sheets. You can drill holes in those sheets for nail heads and hang them with very little extra wall clearance. Requires more planning and measuring, but less damage I'd think.
Forget the lights that I don’t have blow money for but that Mandalorian warrior piece in the back? I got blow away money for that! Lol Lights are sweet tho. Maybe?
Brian... You need to start hanging out with other tech TH-camrs. Invite them on your podcast and film a visual cut for the TH-cam summary ;) 1Luv. Love your show. Also, you need Beach!!! I'm missing the studio look and feel that drew me in for that raw feeling. You should start filming at a WeWork location to add people. You never know, you might meet a new member of your team-look to the youth ;)
I bought a few of the triangles. Yes, they are beautiful, but their support team is awful, their quality control is awful, their app is pretty garbage. And while it does support Alexa, Google, ifttt, and homekit, that's all they support. You either need an iPhone for homekit, or they just don't work with your other smart devices at all. Just stick with hue or lifx or something that actually has support.
I've received great support from the folks at Nanoleaf. I have 22 light panels in my setup and when one panel died they quickly sent out a new panel at no cost to me. I have an android phone and the app works fine on it. My Google Home turns it on and off, dims it or makes it brighter and changes scenes too. My Echo 2nd Gen can do the same.
I paid too much for this Nanoleaf Canvas system for it to continually break down on me. Out of nowhere a couple of weeks ago, the system just stopped working for no apparent reason. I tried everything that I could. I tried updates, uninstall and reinstall, hard resets and soft resets, I restarted my router, I've done everything I could think of but the buttons keep cycling through and the power button will blink blue 5 times then goes back to cycling through the buttons blinking. This will go on for hours and nothing will happen. Eventually, it shuts its self off. Really disappointed in this product. It is so cool when it works, but keeping it working is the issue. Very unreliable. Would not buy any further NanoLeaf products until they become more helpful and more reliable and can be paired with 5G networks.
I liked the design of the triangle nanoleaf panels but this is on another level...
Very Cool...And enjoying your solo venture. Best of luck and continued success👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks Michael! Keeping the hustle alive!
It’s cool but some cross shape on the light
So I like the triangle version better
Yeah, I still prefer the triangle tiles.

Thanks Brian, great video-now I have another gift idea for Christmas.
Can finally recreate the dance floor from Saturday Night Fever - now all I need is a white suit!

Joshua Stylist I have the exact same question.
Me too, lol. Been trying to figure out the keywords on google to find that product.
Not digging the perma adhesive...makes any future changes kinda rough. I’m guessing damage to paint etc..
Definitely like the triangle shape more. Would be cool if they tried hexagon panels too.
MrThirteen1 actually they did at CES 2019
Hi, do you recommend mount the canvas on a texturized wall?? Thanks and congrats!!!

Just put my order in... awesome tech!
You should make you logo with them!!!
Can I add them to mirror the colour on my TV?

Just got mine. I love it! Thanks for sharing.
Are they compatible with the triangle series? I have the 2nd gen that came with sound chip. Wanted to see if they can mix n match?
They look really great!! How do they do with Movies? I have some Phillips hue setup but am still so underwhelmed with color connection to movies. I want something that works..... how do we get the studios just to build in lighting tracks to the movie?!?!?

I loved you on Buzz Out Loud back in the day. I am so happy you are doing cool stuff still
Thank you so much Chelsey!

Where did you find them for 20% off ?
@@SdBoy A local Online Store here had 20% off the whole Lighting range before Christmas. microspot.ch
@@andy- thanks ! :)
Have them installed now and running each day - BEST lamp ever. LOVE IT.
The price is TOO GODDAMM HIGH. I like the triangles better
CO-RRECT on both counts... And that cross➕ in the squares would drive me freakin’ crazy!🤪
@Loren Tesla hope it works out

Man I don’t which I should get for my bedroom. Aurora or the Canvas. Can anyone tell me the difference?
Brian, do you know if it's easy/possible to re-attach them to multiple surfaces? Say, if you have them in a bedroom for a while and then want to relocate them to a living room?
You'll basically have to tear them off and your wall will probably be damaged and need a repaint or resurfacing.
Do they use the 3M adhesives like those hooks I have decorations hanging from?
@@shawnabrams1200 You can, but its really strong and I had to re adjust one tile and it tore off a tiny section of my wall. They recommend you put three pieces on each square. Just be very OCD, and know exactly what and how you want to place it

Very sweet tech. What’s the name of music in the beginning.
Music credits are in the description!
Hi Brian, are you ok for me to share this video on my Wordpress site?
Go for it! Thanks for asking!
Brother man, thank you for this demo, I am going to use these on my Surfboards’s which I have LED for night surfing. Downey California
Dannnnng, that would be sick! You can use my referral link in the description to get them! :)
Forget the lights that I don’t have blow money for but that Mandalorian warrior piece in the back? I got blow away money for that! Lol
Lights are sweet tho. Maybe?
Dope hoping price will become more friendlier after a year or two
What is the Lumens (brightness) on these?
900lm
Id love to get these but the triangles and the squares are both really expensive
Those are really cool
Would be awesome as floor tiles.
Nice review!
Great review
5:16 Did Tong just refer to himself as "eye candy" 😂😂😂
Big Pun HAHA...you aren’t the only person who said this...

You ‘Hey Siri” ‘d my iPad as I watched the video.
Wish they had a plain finish instead of each tile being broken into four squares. They should be a pure white surface.
They have larger kitsch like the medium is 17 panels for $370
Very cool!!
It’s it just me or this reminds me of the dance floor in Saturday Night Fever movie....
Are you the Eye Candy😍🤣🤣🤣🤣
Peter Harper ...😳😳😳

Just stick with hue or lifx or something that actually has support.
If you use Homekit you asked for trouble by locking yourself into Apple's prison. Break out!

Shame they dont do square and triangle tiles...
wot. u not at CNET no more?
I got the starter kit for $140 at home depot
Niiiiiiice!
Little known fact. They also smell like roofies and the kind of vodka that you huff
I had no idea...
Wow technology is sooo crazy these days.
WOW.
Brought to you by Ono Giant Shrimp Chips. Made in Hawaii with real shrimp.
WOW. Now that's a GOOD EYE! 🤙
@@briantong Thanks. I'd like to try those sometime. They sound yummy!
R.I.P LIFX tile.
The LIFX tiles look way better
Which one is brighter? LifX tiles or these ?
The control bar and that single light that stays lit (at least during the rhythm mode) is really annoying. Absolutely should have been hidden.
The ono shrimp chipssss. YOU SHOULD TRY TO PLAY BTS SONGS AND MAKE IT LIGHT UP.
Boo lover Already doing it! :)
Bitchen, Brian. Add these to Santa's list along with the Osmo Pocket. Thank you.
Awesome eye candy but too pricey for my budget
We miss your mom, where she at bro? 😂👌👍 #supercharacters
looks awesome, just too expensive... wish xiaomi copied it lol
Oh no don't say that. I know Xiomi will come out with a better version as soon as mine are delivered.
they look 2 dark to me

Way too expensive and clunky.
