The wall plug connects to the adapter that relays to the controller module that plugs into the panels. There's a lot of cable to hide which can be cumbersome if you don't have a cabinet nearby

Requires 2.4GHz network
Connectivity problems
Odd LED flashes
Flickering color transitions at low brightness
The tool for creating your own presets is very basic
Only letting you pick a color palette and a single animation style

Wall-mounted panels aren't nearly as practical as smart bulbs are
And they won't fit in with every aesthetic. Also
The lack of a music sync feature is a missed opportunity
The connecters are quite loose and require careful attention when wall-mounting
No SmartThings or Wink compatibility
Dangling power cord kind of ruins the whole effect
