light it up!
You can do some impressive things with Nanoleaf’s scene creator – let’s find out how to create the perfect lighting
01 choose a scene
Assuming you’ve already downloaded the app and physically set up the Light Panels, now open the app on your device and underneath the Dashboard tab, tap the ‘+’ button near the bottom of the screen. When a menu appears, choose ‘New Color Scene’ from the list and you’ll be taken to the palette selector.
02 add a palette
Here you can select from a number of preset palettes to go with your scene – scroll down to see more of them and tap one you like. If nothing takes your fancy, tap the ‘+’ button to create your own. Select an area of the colour wheel and tap ‘+’ to add it, and repeat this for each colour you want to add. Now hit ‘Save’.

In the next screen you’ll get a visual overview of your panel arrangement – it’ll appear on screen however you’ve physically connected it. Change it in the real world and it’ll automatically change on screen. At the top you’ll see various tabs for scene types, but we’ll be using the default type – the Paint one.
04 paint it on
Using the palette you’ve chosen previously, select a colour and then tap a panel to fill it – you’ll see your panels change in real time. Repeat this for each panel, using colours of your choosing. If you don’t like your creation, tap ‘clear all’ at any time. Hit ‘Save’ once you’re happy, and give it a name.
05 go dyna mic
You can go one better than the static Paint scene and create a Dynamic one, with colourchanging tiles for an amazing effect. Once again, choose to create a new colour scene from the Dashboard, choose a palette and in the scene creator choose Dynamic from the tab above.
06 Tailor the look
In the next screen select the type of effect – such as Fade or Burst – then choose the type of transition, whether that’s smooth or delayed. You can also adjust speed and brightness using the sliders at the top. Now hit ‘Save’ and give the scene a name. You’ll see your panels play the scene.
