Cololight Hexagon Led Lights Voice App-Controlled, Work with Alexa, Google Home, Color Changing Night Lights, Pro Kit for Gaming Setup Home Decoration (6-pc pro Wall &Standing kit) [Energy Class A]

*edit*I added an additional star because I discovered that you don’t actually need to use your phone mic for the music sync, the cololight pro has a built in mic and it is far superior. It works brilliantly and is still fully customisable. Just took me a little while to discover! 1 week in, I couldn’t be happier with the lights!Like many that have purchased this product before, after exploring the purchase of nanoleaf, I decided that it was just too expensive and went in search of alternatives.I’ve had the cololight for just over a day now and have explored just about all they have to offer. The packaging is tally really impressive and the lights themselves, whilst being very light weight, do have a feel of quality to them. After connecting them into a basic formation, which was really easy to do, I powered the light on and was reasonably impressed by the brightness and colour.Connecting the lights to the app was reasonably simple, although it rejected my WIFI network several times before accepting (make sure you’ve got a strong wifi signal). Once connected to the app I realised the lights were set to 30% brightness - I was actually blown away when I set them to full. They are incredible bright, the colours are vivid and the LED’s are seamless so no colour mixing noticeable.The default dynamic modes are perfect, but you can make custom ones in the app and there are thousands of combinations to choose from.The solid colours look stunning too, and there’s a whole palette tool for creating custom colours - literally millions to chose from using sliders for hue and saturation.The music sync mode is good, just bare in mind that it works off of your phone microphone which is a little frustrating. I certainly don’t want to drain my phone’s battery constantly just to sync the lights to music!The light units themselves are small, so the option that comes with a minimum of 6 lights is a must! I genuinely wouldn’t consider these as a ‘knock off nanoleaf’. I genuinely see these as an alternative product to nanoleaf. Both products could easily be used in tandem - they’d look great together.So it’s been a day and I’m already considering buying another set of 6 lights!Yes they’re expensive, but they are in no means ‘knock off’ or ‘poor made’ they are their own product, and I’m really pleased with them!I gave 4 stars due to attempting to connect to my WiFi 4 times before it actually worked. And also due to the fact that the music sync was a bit of a disappointment, especially having to make use of your phone’s microphone.

This was a present for someone who loves lights. She has different lights throughout the house, solar lights in the garden, electric flicker candles, strings of LEDs. You get the idea. So this present had to be something special. The Cololight did not disappoint. It has incredible colour ranges and brightness as well as a good number of built in sequences. She found it fun to put together and reconfigures it to ring the changes. The Cololight works well with Alexa and Google Home. She’s called it “birthday” so she says “Alexa turn on birthday” and on it comes. The app on her iPhone is easy to use and everything installed really easily. If you have a good friend who likes beautiful coloured smart lights then I really recommend these as a present. My friend was thrilled to receive this.

Brought this as a night light for my sons room. I have connected it to a Blink camera so that when my son gets out of bed to use the bathroom the cololight will turn on and back off when he gets back in to bed ,( blink camera Brought separately needed for this to work ) the additional hexagons are fun little stocking fillers or little birthday presents to add on to the starter unit. And he loves all the colours and variations he can make using the app ! It is maybe a little pricey for what it is ... but a cool gadget that's fun and does the job

What a great product. So many combinations and colour changes and then you can change the look of the cells. Really impressed as it can change the mood of a room. Use it music and it soon becomes a sound to light to really get the party going.Set up was easy just read the manual and connect to the WiFi and let the App take your imagination away.I have connected to Alexa which is great but it does and probably cannot give you all the complex controls over the lights. Use the App for that.In short a great light and well worth the money

I purchases these because the Nanoleaf ones can only be used against a wall and I wanted to use these on my PC for certain notifications, i'll come back to it later.SIZE: They are obviously very very small, therefore considering the high price, that's a very expensive small kit of lights.COLOURS: The colours are nice, they can be very very bright, which is good in a way. You can slide the brightness you want within the app.PRACTICALITY: The app is a pure let down! It's a nightmare to understand exactly how it works and to get your desired effects. We're also supposed to schedule the lights (in terms of colour changing or time of the day), but again, it's not intuitive at all, very difficult and complicated to set up.GOOGLE ASSISTANT/ALEXA: That's exactly why I bought these lights, because they are compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa. What I wanted to do, is to be notified through these lights when someone rings my Ring Bell. However, in Google or Alexa, you can only choose a static colour, nothing more is available and the worst, is that, if you build an automation rule, it doesn't put your light in the previous state (rainbow dynamic effect for instance) after automatically changing colours! Therefore it's useless. Very disappointed.IFTTT: Well, that's the biggest disappointment. These are not compatible with IFTTT.MATERIAL: The base and also the hexagons are very plastiky and feel cheap. The base is ugly as well.CONCLUSION: I like the colours, the brightness, I hate the Android app and the uselessness of the Google Assistant and Alexa compatibility.
