Nanoleaf is turning 10, and to celebrate, the Kickstarter-founded smart lighting company is releasing a limited edition set of its iconic Shapes lighting tiles. <\/p>\n

The Nanoleaf Shapes Ultra Black Triangles<\/a> cost $219.99 for a set of nine LED light panels and are an all-black version of its Shapes Triangle<\/a> panels. The original triangle panels are all white when not displaying any of their 16 million colors; the new panels are all black when dormant. <\/p>\n

Nanoleaf says the black light panels, which it is only making a thousand of, are slightly dimmer due to the finish, with a more saturated look when lit. This makes them even more suited to ambient, mood lighting as opposed to the functional lighting their brighter counterparts can provide. <\/p>\n

The black finish does add a touch of drama to the modular, color-changing panels, and, assuming you like geometric black wall art, they also look good when the lights are off. This is something of a problem with the standard Shapes line, which look like blank white LED panels if they\u2019re turned off (because that\u2019s what they are). Nanoleaf\u2019s Elements line <\/a>addressed this with a wood finish look, but those panels aren\u2019t capable of color, only tunable white light that you can adjust from warm to cool.<\/p>\n

Essentially a smart light<\/a>, Nanoleaf Shapes panels can be turned on or off, brightened, dimmed, and changed color using app or voice control. The big selling point is that these panels can play lighting animations, illuminating in multiple colors simultaneously while dynamically shifting. <\/p>\n
