A splash of noir from the modular smart light specialist
Nanoleaf has used its annual Nanoleaf Live event to unveil a new set of Ultra Black Shapes Hexagons light panels.
Hot on the heels of the launch of Nanoleaf 4D last week, the new Ultra Black Shapes Hexagons are part of the Shapes range and can be used a new Nanoleaf design or added to existing Nanoleaf Shapes systems.
The pack includes nine hexagonal panels and costs $219.99/£179.99, just a little more expensive than the standard $199.99 7-panel Nanoleaf Shapes pack.
An Extension kit, boasting 3 panels, is also available for $69.99/£69.99, so if you already own some of the older panels you can still try out this new style.

It’s the same pricing that we saw when the Shapes Ultra Black Triangles went live last year.
Guide: The best Nanoleaf designs
Nanoleaf’s Ultra Black Shapes Hexagons function just like the classic white style. They support Screen Mirror, where the colours in a connected display are recreated by the panels, the music visualizer function, and are touch-sensitive.
They are also compatible with the new Nanoleaf 4D system via the Sync+ feature.
The Ultra Black 9-panel Starter Kit and 9-panel Expansion Pack are available to pre-order direct from Nanoleaf website now, with shipping touted for late July.
We’re told that an OTA update will arrive later this year that will make them Matter compatible.
