Nanoleaf Elements bring wood-like smart light panels into your home

Nanoleaf wants to improve the ambiance in your home with its new Elements line featuring Wood Look Hexagons. The smart lights feature a wood-like veneer, so light can shine through when it's on, but it won't look blank when not in use. When you aren't using these Elements lights, they'll just look like wooden decorations hanging from your wall, which won't look too out of place in your home. 

These lights work similarly to other Nanoleaf hexagonal light panels. They glow from the front and back for a double lighting effect, and they're programmable with different lighting patterns and effects. You won't get the full-colour spectrum LED, but you can adjust these from warm to cool white light. They come with 11 preset lighting effects, or you can use the Nanoleaf app to program it yourself.
