Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Plan your layout: Arrange the hexagons on the floor first to design your pattern. Take a photo for reference.
  2. Clean the wall: Wipe the wall surface with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris for better adhesion.
  3. Connect panels with linkers: Snap panels together using the included linkers. Each panel connects to adjacent panels at the edge connectors.
  4. Attach mounting tape: Apply the double-sided mounting tape to the back of each panel.
  5. Mount the first panel: Press firmly against the wall for 30 seconds. This is your anchor panel.
  6. Add remaining panels: Connect and mount each panel one at a time, pressing firmly for adhesion.
  7. Connect the controller: Attach the controller to any panel using a linker.
  8. Connect power: Plug the power supply into the controller and into a wall outlet.
  9. Download Nanoleaf app: Install and create a Nanoleaf account.
  10. Pair the panels: Tap "+" and follow the Wi-Fi pairing instructions. Enter your 2.4GHz network credentials.
