Very Good

For anyone who wants wall lights that can totally transform a room's vibe:

Alright, so what's the final word?

Nanoleaf Hexazon takes that hexagon idea everyone loves and just... polishes it up. And let me tell you, the colors are incredibly vibrant, with super smooth gradients. They look like legitimate wall art, even when they're off. The app can feel a little busy, but it's seriously powerful—you get thousands of community-made scenes, music-reactive modes, and touch controls that make the panels feel alive. And here's the thing: they've gotten way more reliable over the years. Schedules actually work, effects don't stutter, and voice control is snappy. It's still mood lighting, not task lighting, but in a living room or bedroom, Hexazon can completely change how a space feels. I'd recommend it for anyone who wants flexible decor without having to call an electrician.

Just a heads-up:

They mount with adhesive, which is secure, but it can definitely lift paint if you're not careful. My advice? Go slow and maybe warm the pads with a hairdryer before you pull. You'll also want a stable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network right where you install them. For huge layouts, you might need extra power supplies, so it’s a good idea to check Nanoleaf’s online calculator before you commit. Screen mirroring works best from a computer; for your TV, you're better off with a dedicated solution like Nanoleaf 4D. One last thing—their other 'Shapes' panels haven't supported Matter, so if Hexazon is the same, expect great HomeKit, Google, and Alexa support, but maybe not that universal Matter connection. It's always best to buy it for what it does today, not for a feature that might come later.

So here's my take. You should absolutely get these if you want dynamic ambiance, customizable layouts, and some playful, interactive tech. I'd skip them if you need bright, shadow-free light for working, or if you're building a strictly Matter-only smart home. And look, if budget is the main concern, a couple of smart bulbs can handle mood lighting for a fraction of the cost—you just won't get that 'wow' factor of having sculptural art on your wall.
