The Linkind EP6 Smart Hexagon Panels turn boring walls into amazing light shows
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Have you ever seen those cool hexagon lights that YouTubers love to adorn their walls with? They look fantastic, and I always wanted some, but they can get a bit pricey. Thanks to the folks at Linkind, I finally got to test some, and the best part is that its EP6 Smart Hexagon Panels won't break the bank. Let's dive right in. Setting things up Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority First things first, you have to get these lights installed. Let me start by warning you that this process is a bit tricky and time-consuming, but that's true of basically all decorative smart lights. Making sure these are aligned perfectly and working properly takes patience, so make sure you keep your schedule clear for a while if you're going to set up these awesome-looking lights. It took me about three hours to plan, install, and set up two sets of seven hexagon lights (so, 14 hexagon panels). The good news is that the process becomes second-nature once you know what to do. Essentially, you'll have to grab the cardboard alignment boards and tape them to the wall in the order you want the lights set up. There is an alignment tool included to help you get the angles right. Then, you'll have to grab the bases, install the two-sided tape on them, and then use the other side of the tape to stick them to the wall, using the cardboard cutouts to put them all in place. Once all is set up, put the connectors in place, making sure all panels are linked. Also, make sure the power connections are hooked in; you'll need one power brick per seven light panels. Also, make sure the controller is connected somewhere. Once all that is done, you lock in the panels, connect the controller, and plug the brick (or bricks) into a wall outlet. If all goes well, they will light up, and you can connect to the system using the AiDot app. As you can see, this isn't rocket science, but it takes careful alignment, patience, and a lot of repetition. Once you get in the zone, though, it is a simple process — it just takes time. I liked that the power and controller connections can go anywhere, and the system figures things out on its own. The app will even recognize your pattern and let you customize its orientation for easier management. You can also easily expand your setup later. Simply add the new EP6 Smart Hexagon Panels and connect them to the current system. Each controller can manage up to 21 panels; again, you need a power brick per seven panels. Here's an essential piece of advice: Be careful with the connectors! They feel a bit fragile, and I damaged one of them in the process. Getting a replacement will be a time-consuming process. I can't find them on sale, so you will likely have to contact support to get extras and then wait for them to ship. Let there be light! Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Once set up and plugged in, the lights should turn on immediately. You can control them using the physical controller, but getting the AiDot app set up will let you make the most out of the Linkind EP6 Smart Hexagon Panels. You can pick between any colors, customize light panels individually (or even use different colors in a single one), choose from a wide set of presets, or even create your own. In addition, you can use the built-in mic or your device's audio to sync the lights with media. These look quite gorgeous, honestly. The colors are bright and vibrant. In fact, they do a perfectly good job of dimly lighting up my whole room. I often leave them on when awake at night. And it helps that they create a gorgeous, colorful ambiance in the room. You can see what I mean in the image below. Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority While you can use the AiDot app independently, you can also link the panels to Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Then you can control them within those apps, or use a smart speaker powered by a digital assistant. This means you can also set routines, have them interact with other smart home devices, and more. Linkind doesn't mention Matter or Thread support, however. We've asked the company about this and will update if we get a response. I do have one complaint, though. There is a buzzing electrical hum that won't go away. I've tried placing the electrical inputs in different locations, switching panels around, rebooting, and more. The hum is louder the brighter the lights are. That said, it isn't a huge deal. I usually only notice it when it's silent, but it gets easily overpowered when listening to music or playing anything on my computer. I do live in a very quiet place, though, so it can get annoying sometimes. Should you buy the Linkind EP6 Smart Hexagon Panels? Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Whenever I look at cool gadgets like these, I wonder if I would spend my hard-earned money on them. That's kind of how I measure how good they are. The Linkind EP6 Smart Hexagon Panels pack comes with seven panels and costs $139.99 MSRP at Walmart. This means that if you want something like my setup, that would be nearly $280. Discounts are common, though, so look into those. For example, at the time of writing, they are currently on sale for $94. With that in mind, I find it hard to justify paying $140 or more for cool lights. They do look amazing, though, and they work great. The biggest competitors are the Govee Glide Hexa Light Panels, which cost $189.99 for a 10-pack, or the Nanoleaf Shapes, which cost $189.99 for nine panels. Not only are the Linkind EP6 Smart Hexagon Panels cheaper from the get-go, but they are often found on sale. If you can catch a good discount, these offer more bang for your buck, and I have been enjoying them very much. In short, if you are looking for decorative wall lighting, you'll save a good chunk of change with these; they look and work great! Linkind EP6 Smart Hexagon Panels Affordable • Solid build • Bright and vibrant lighting MSRP: $139.99 Bright and affordable. The Linkind EP6 Smart Hexagon Panels are an affordable way of adding some bright and vibrant decorative shape lighting to any space.

Ahaad Alamoudi presents ‘The Social Health Club' in Basel
RIYADH: This month, Saudi artist Ahaad Alamoudi is turning up the heat at Basel Social Club — which runs until June 21 in the Swiss city — with her latest installation, 'The Social Health Club.' For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ Freshly conceived, but rooted in the artist's past works, the yellow-drenched installation offers a layered, sensory experience — and sharp cultural commentary — as well as a first for the artist: a live-performance element. Jeddah-based Alamoudi is known for creating immersive multimedia installations drawing from and exploring the complex dynamics of her evolving homeland. 'The Social Health Club' is built around pieces found in Jeddah's Haraj market in 2018 — a range of exercise equipment including a rowing machine. 'These are pieces I collected from thrifting. I like the fact that no instructions came with the machines — I don't have their name or the source of where they came from or who made them. But they've become part of the urban landscape that I've been in. And I was trying to create fun within the space,' Alamoudi told Arab News. In 'The Social Health Club,' the equipment, painted predominantly in vibrantly-saturated monochrome yellow, stands untouched, serving as symbols of a culture obsessed with self-optimization. At the core of the installation is a cameo from a yellow-painted iron previously featured in her 2020 video work 'Makwah Man.' (Makwah means iron in Arabic.) 'A lot of my pieces stem from a narrative I create within a video. In 'Makwah Man,' this man wearing a yellow thobe is ironing a long piece of yellow fabric in the middle of the desert. And as he's ironing, he tells us how to live our lives. But in the process of him telling us how to live our lives, he also starts questioning his own in the process — understanding the role of power, understanding the pressure of change, adaptation,' Alamoudi explained. 'The yellow exists within the video piece, but he's also wearing yellow thobe in the video piece. And (in this iteration at Art Basel) there's also a rack of yellow thobes twirling in the exhibition. For me, the yellow thobe is like a unifying symbol. I'm trying to say that we're all experiencing this in different ways. So in the performance (for 'The Social Health Club') a man (a local body builder) in a yellow thobe will be performing on these machines. He has no rule book. He doesn't know anything; he doesn't know how to 'properly' use the equipment. He's going to go into the space and do things with the machines. 'The performance will be recorded. But I think it's more like an activation,' she continued. 'It's not the piece itself. The piece itself exists as the machines.' 'The Social Health Club' was shaped through close collaboration with curator Amal Khalaf, who combed Jeddah's market with Alamoudi in search of 'machines that were a little bit abnormal, like not your typical machines that people would directly know what it is in the gym,' Alamoudi said. 'She's quite incredible,' she continued. 'And we really built the space together. Essentially, the main thing that I created was the video; everything else was built off of that. She really helped. She really looked at social change and how we navigate that. Our collaboration was perfect.' Yellow dominates every inch of the piece—deliberately and intensely. 'I obsess over symbols within certain works I create. And with that also comes a color,' Alamoudi said. 'I wanted to showcase something that was luxurious, colorful, almost like gold, but it's not gold. It's quite stark in its appearance.' Yellow is both invitation and warning. 'I think that yellow is also quite deceptive. I like it as a color to get people excited to come closer and see what's happening, but at the same time question what it is — it's so aggressive that it becomes a bit uncomfortable.' The viewer's interaction is critical to the piece's meaning. 'I think the machines represent something and they carry something, but they really are activated by the people — what people are doing with them,' Alamoudi said. 'And that's why I'm encouraging a lot of viewers to engage with and use the pieces, or try to use them without any instruction. A lot of people entering into the space (might) fear even touching or engaging with them. Having the performer there activating the structures is going to add another layer to the piece itself.' She hopes visitors feel free to explore, unburdened by expectations. 'People are meant to use it any way that they want to use it. They can sit on it, stand on it, touch it — they can leave it alone,' she concluded with a laugh.

Hong Kong Tourism Board Brings a Taste of The City to Art Basel in Basel
Celebrating the history of Old Town Central and Hong Kong's vibrant culture Hong Kong Bar at Art Basel in Basel 2025, courtesy of Hong Kong Tourism Board HONG KONG, June 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) is excited to announce its upcoming activation at Art Basel in Basel 2025, presenting the Hong Kong Bar from 19 – 22 June 2025. To bring the project to life, HKTB are collaborating with Hong Kong artist Phoebe Hui to debut her new installation, Under the Moonlight, imbuing the bar with a captivating energy. This will be the first time HKTB showcases the city's unique culture at Art Basel's flagship show, as part of their pioneering three-year global partnership with the brand – inviting visitors from around the world to experience the vibrant artistic spirit and dynamic energy of Hong Kong. HKTB Executive Director Dane Cheng said, 'We are committed to sharing Hong Kong's artistic dynamism and vibrant culture at Art Basel through our three-year global partnership with the fair, connecting with audiences from around the world on this prestigious platform. At Art Basel in Basel, we will showcase the inspiring neighbourhood of 'Old Town Central' – transporting visitors to the bustling atmosphere of Hong Kong life with the unique flavours offered on our 'Hong Kong Bar' menu. We are also honoured to be working with local artist Phoebe Hui, who will captivate audiences with her installation. We hope that you enjoy raising a glass at the 'Hong Kong Bar'.' Angelle Siyang-Le, Director of Art Basel Hong Kong, said: 'We are thrilled to bring the vibrant spirit of Hong Kong to the heart of Art Basel in Basel, our mothership of fairs, showcasing not only our city's rich cultural heritage but also its dynamic and evolving identity. Through the Hong Kong Bar and the collaboration with Phoebe Hui, we invite visitors to experience Hong Kong's unique blend of tradition and innovation – where every detail, from the Yuen Yeung Martini to the immersive design inspired by Central Market, tells a story of resilience, creativity, and community. This platform marks a significant milestone in our global partnership with Hong Kong Tourism Board, reinforcing Hong Kong's position as a leading cultural hub that bridges East and West.' A Taste of Hong Kong's Heritage: Inspired by Old Town Central and Central MarketThe Hong Kong Bar will immerse visitors in the lively atmosphere of Hong Kong's Old Town Central neighbourhood, featuring a signature cocktail inspired by the city's distinctive flavours. The 'Yuen Yeung Martini' blends vodka and coffee with the famous Hong Kong-style milk tea to offer an energising refreshment for fair visitors. Accompanied by a curated menu of other special cocktails and snacks inspired by Hong Kong's culinary heritage, visitors will embark on a multisensory journey exploring Hong Kong's layered urban identity, combining authentic local delicacies with immersive design and art, presenting a holistic experience that captures the city's essence. Aligning with Art Basel's flagship fair in Basel, HKTB will showcase the heart of Hong Kong's cultural scene on the world's stage. The bar's design is inspired by the iconic landmark of Central Market, the first permanent indoor market in Hong Kong's Old Town Central area dating back to the 19th century. The marketplace played a quintessential part of Hong Kong daily life, hosting lively food stalls and retail spaces. Now, the revitalised community space bridges the past with the present, symbolising the city's layered and ever-evolving urban identity and providing ample inspiration for the Hong Kong Bar. At Art Basel in Basel, HKTB will embody Central Market's architectural charm and lively atmosphere, transforming the space into a living tribute to the neighbourhood's legacy for visitors to engage with the city's cultural narrative through a blend of taste, space, and story. Artistry and Culture: Capturing the City's RhythmLocal artist Phoebe Hui, whose captivating moon-themed pieces and research-driven practice explores how technology shapes our perception of reality, will debut a brand-new installation titled Under the Moonlight, illuminating the bar setting. Hui's work utilises technology and machine learning to reimagine the moon's phases, reminiscent of Hong Kong's energetic, dazzling nights, as well as evoking powerful symbolism in Chinese culture of immortality, femininity, success, and purity. Drawing inspiration from the constantly shifting cycles of the moon, the specially commissioned piece adds an element of poetic and meditative ambiance, echoing the city's rhythm of constant change and resilience. Phoebe Hui said, 'Hong Kong, famed for neon lights and a city that never sleep — this work offers an introspective pause beneath the moonlight. Moonlight shimmers softly yet sharp, a gauze where neon and quiet hues entwine, neither fully present nor absent. Under the moon's shifting glow, Hong Kong reveals its contemplative heart, folding the night into layers of color and memory — a whispered dialogue between distant stars and crowded streets.' A Platform for Global Cultural ExchangeHKTB's showcase at Art Basel in Basel is a continuation of its ongoing partnership with Art Basel and underscores Hong Kong's commitment to presenting the city as a leading center for art and culture. Art lovers and cultural enthusiasts from around the world are invited to rediscover Hong Kong as a city that thrives at the intersection of heritage and modernity.
