[@TechCheckUK]

Really pleased with these nanoleaf shapes - do u have any? Thoughts around cost? 🤔 don't forget to leave a LIKE. Take care 👍

"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."

[@TechCheckUK]

Agreed

[@VladislavBaglai]

Thanks for your effort! I've just bought triangles kit to install them above my desktop. Hope I won't be disappointed.

[@TechCheckUK]

U won't m8 they are really good - I have had zero issues with mine

[@ido1der799]

I have 3 triangles, 6 hexagons, and five mini triangles. I love them. You can create any kind of lighting with them. Even before i added the last 3 hexagons the unit was brighter than the ceiling fixture. I particularly like some of the intermittent lighting patterns, like “Sleeping.”

[@TechCheckUK]

Yeah totally agree mate I love mine 👍 thanks for watching and commenting I really appreciate it

[@EmmzBeats1zx]

really cool lights there mate

[@TechCheckUK]

Great video

I appreciate it mate thanks

[@frankramirez728]

This is the first video I’ve seen on the Shapes line so sorry if this question is answered in future videos of yours or somewhere else, but people mentioned that a problem with this line compared to the original nanoleaf triangles is they have hotspots. I assume this refers to what I noticed when you maxed the brightness and I could clearly see all the points of light in each triangle. Now I have a starter kit of the original triangles that I bought when they came out and have been using them since, luckily I’m not as invested as others that have tens if not hundreds of them, but I I’m worried about switching over to Shapes because people that have purchased them after owning the original set say that it has hotspots and the shape just doesn’t connect as seamlessly because of a roundness that the Shapes line has. My question to you is now that you’ve had these for a while, what do you think of them? Have you noticed any of the things I’ve mentioned, are you just now noticing these things after reading my comment, or maybe even now you’re sitting there looking at your lights and think, “what is he on about?” If you do answer I want to thank you ahead of time as this will help me decide if I should invest in the newer lines of Shapes or if I should stock up on as much of the original lights now while I have the chance. This is mostly because Nanoleaf just recently announced the retirement of the original lights after only about 5 years or so of releasing, which also makes me question if I should trust investing into Shapes for all my smart home lighting now that I have my own place or if I should be weary 5 years down the road, but that’s a whole other matter. Thanks again, for both your potential reply and this video.

[@TechCheckUK]

Hi Frank, great questions and I appreciate the effort 👌personally I don't feel like you need to have these lights above 60% as they are mega bright and at that % you don't see any hotspotting at all. Turned up to 100% you can see the three areas of which the light is emitted but I never have them past 40% tbh. The connections are stable and sturdy and quality is great 👍 personally only issues I had was 1st connections but after that 3 months later they are amazing. Hope this helps mate. Thanks 4 ya time and hope to see you around in the comments in the future 😀

Nice one bro 😊

Thanks mate 👍

[@divinity787]

Always been wanting nano leafs before but yeah they defo cost a lot

[@TechCheckUK]

@Divinity 1st man NICE and thank you. Yeah expensive but look and perform really good 👍

[@joshuaelskamp1438]

Can you switch all the panels to one Color without using the app just using the buttons on the display?

[@TechCheckUK]

Yes mate you can cycle through functions as well as modes on the control panel without the app just has no customisation options

[@joshuaelskamp1438]

@@TechCheckUK can you switch to the Color only purple for example on the display or can you only do that on the app?

[@TechCheckUK]

Yes you can cycle all colours and modes on the control panel as well as music mode 👌

Muy buen productonpero muy caro

[@TechCheckUK]

sí, es mate, hay productos similares por menos

[@MaxWoudenberg]

I'm possible getting those and are wondering if you can easily manage multiple separate triangle sets. Also, are these lights functional enough so you don't need a ceiling lamp?

[@TechCheckUK]

Hi max, once connected no problem at all and yeah individually managed also. They are really bright - these are bright enough to do my whole room.

[@troydeeboy5884]

I plan on getting these as the only source of light in my room, are they bright enough to do that?

[@TechCheckUK]

Yes mate they are super bright 🌞

[@nickyerps5051]

[@r3mnant277]

No worries 👍

Mine have a connecting issue... what ios are you on

[@TechCheckUK]

I'm on android mate - I did perform a firmware update a few weeks ago and tbh once I had got them connected they have been fine since I'm also using 7.3.2 277 on the app. Regards

Yeah u saw mine it took nearly 30 mins to connect and no real reason glad you got it sorted tho mate 👍

[@happysoul5563]

Shame nobody was arsed about your router.

[@TechCheckUK]

YEAH ITS A GOOD ROUTER TOO TBF

[@SimonLeicester]

These or the Govee equivalents anyone?

[@TechCheckUK]

I have both mate - These are great - very bright and once setup loads of personalised stuff you can do. The govee ones are cheaper and if you have other govee rgb can all be synced together. Both good keep your eyes out for some deals and go with that. Regards

[@shs2329]

Did you know there is a patent infringement against Nanoleaf?

[@TechCheckUK]

Hi mate I'm not too fussed this video is from 2 years ago and if it was serious there would be a total sales stop. I'll be inreated ri see what happens tho

[@spidergirl182001]

this doesnt work at all! The app cannot be used as it always wants to add it to apple home.
