More than hexagons

Hexagons. Lines. Frames.

Hexplanner isn't limited to honeycomb clusters. Switch to Lines mode to draw individual bar segments in any of 8 directions — building rectangular frames, straight border runs, or any freeform shape you need.

Mix both modes on the same canvas. A honeycomb cluster inside a clean rectangular frame, for example. Hexplanner counts every bar length, connector type and power input across the whole design as one unified bill of materials.

LINES MODE Lines mode — drawing individual bar segments to build frames and borders
The components

Every part your system needs,
counted automatically.

A hex lighting system is built from bars, connectors and power inputs. Hexplanner tracks all three as you design — no spreadsheet, no guesswork.

Multiple bar lengths

440 mm · 565 mm · 1176 mm

Pick the bar length that fits your space. Short bars for tight clusters, long bars for spanning walls. Hexplanner counts the exact quantity of each length you need.

Bar lengths: 440 mm, 565 mm and 1176 mm
Many connector types

I, L, V, Y, T, X — every junction covered

Real hex systems use six distinct connector shapes depending on the angle and number of bars meeting at a node. Hexplanner automatically determines which connector each junction needs and adds the exact count to your shopping list.

Connector types: I, L, V, Y, T, X
Bill of materials

Your shopping list,
generated automatically

Every time you add or remove a hex, Hexplanner recalculates the full parts list in real time — segments by length, connectors by type, and power supply count. No spreadsheet needed.

Export or copy the list straight from the app and hand it to your supplier. No rounding errors, no missed connectors.

Where people install hex lights

One planner, every kind of space

Hexagon LED lighting works wherever bright, even, ceiling-mounted light matters. The planner sizes a layout for any of these.

Garages & workshops

Single-car, two-car, mancaves, hobbyist workbenches. Even, shadow-free coverage over the whole floor.

Single-car · Two-car · Workbench

Barber shops & salons

Hex clusters above each chair give the bright, modern light clients photograph. Dual-zone template for independent chair switching.

Per-chair · Reception · Backbar

Detailing & auto studios

Paint, ceramic and finishing work needs even, colour-accurate light with no hot spots. The 14-grid is the de-facto standard above a single bay.

Detail bay · Paint booth · Showroom

Home gyms & studios

A hex cluster over the rack or platform looks great in workout videos and puts real lumens on the floor. Most home gyms use a 5–8 hex layout.

Squat rack · Yoga · Reels

Streamer & content rooms

Wall-mounted hex frames behind the desk give the layered, geometric look that reads well on stream. Lines mode draws custom shapes.

Stream wall · Backdrop · Office

Living rooms & home features

Statement ceilings over a kitchen island, dining table or hallway. Smaller clusters and bordered layouts work as architectural lighting features.

Kitchen · Hallway · Feature wall

FAQ

Hexagon LED lighting questions

How do I plan a hexagon LED lighting system?

Open Hexplanner in any browser — no install or account needed. Click to place hexagonal panels on the grid, choose your bar length (440 mm, 565 mm, or 1176 mm), and the tool automatically determines every connector type you need and builds a complete bill of materials with quantities.

How many connectors do I need for my hex layout?

It depends on your layout geometry. Hexagonal LED systems use six connector types: I (straight-through), L (right-angle), V (angled two-way), Y (three-way branch), T (power tap), and X (four-way cross). Hexplanner detects each junction type automatically and adds the exact count to your shopping list as you design.

What is the difference between 440 mm and 565 mm hex lights?

These are the bar segment lengths. A 440 mm system makes smaller hexagons — good for compact clusters or lower ceilings. A 565 mm system creates larger hexagons with more coverage per panel. The 1176 mm option is used for straight line segments that span larger distances. Hexplanner supports all three and can mix them in one layout.

Is Hexplanner a good Nanoleaf alternative for a garage or workshop?

Nanoleaf panels are decorative accent lights built for living rooms. Hexagonal LED systems for garages, detailing bays, workshops, and salons are a different product category — they output high-CRI (90+) task lighting rather than colour effects. Hexplanner is designed specifically to help you plan and spec these functional hex lighting installs before you order.

What does the bill of materials include?

The BOM lists segment counts broken down by length (e.g. 42× 440 mm, 12× 565 mm), the quantity of each connector type (I, L, V, Y, T, X), and the number of power supplies required. It updates in real time every time you change the layout.

Does Hexplanner cost anything?

No. Hexplanner is completely free. It runs in your browser with no account, no download, and no payment required at any point.
