Nanoleaf Aurora light panels
Nanoleaf Aurora light panels, also know as Nanoleaf light panels, have been around for a while now. These are triangular lighting panels which connect together in a variety customisable ways. The result of which is a personal lighting experience which fits neatly into your home and own personal style.
Easy installation and setup
With the simple use of small, cardboard-like “linkers” you can snap the panels together to create a circuit which can then be powered by the control box which is plugged into the mains.
The lighting panels can be connected to each other on any side, meaning you can create a variety of different patterns of all shapes and sizes.
The standard kit comes with nine panels, but you can buy multiple expansion packs with extra panels to add a splash of colour and light to any wall in your home.
There’s a configuration tool which gives you suggestions on what shapes you can create based on how many panels you have. If you’re not sure what designs to use there’s plenty of inspiration on the company’s Instagram account and even a passionate Subreddit dedicated to Nanoleaf with plenty of great designs to sift through.

If you have access to a printer we’d also recommend using the Augmented Reality layout assistant within the app. This allows you to point your phone at a QR code on the wall and get a pattern painted for you to visualise the design(s) before you even start putting the panels up. Pocket-lint
You can also purchase various mounting accessories to account for your designs too. There are even flexible linkers which can be bent to allow for angled mounting, meaning you can take your designs from wall-to-wall.
Standard installation is a breeze. The panels are lightweight and on standard (non-porous) surfaces they can be easily held in place with the included 3M adhesive stickers. A screw mounting kit is available for wood and brick if you want a more permanent fitting.
We’d highly recommend a spirit level and plenty of planning before installing though as once they go up, they aren’t easy to get down.
