Review
Twinkly Square certainly looks amazing. However, the older versions aren’t as reliable as these latest ones. Moreover, they also have improved light effects and more features.
In the app, you can create your own unique effect based on a picture. You can also use multiple effects in a sequence.
The system allows connection of up to 15 panels on one plug, and you can configure the system in any way you like. They are extremely flexible.
Now, remember the more panels you will have, the more panels you will get and the better quality.
Moreover, when you connect the Twinkly lights with other systems, all you will be able to do is turn on and off the lights as well as color control.
While putting the panel together was fun, installation was a little difficult however if you follow the instructions, it should be easy for you.
Apart from that, when you are cleaning or putting these together, make sure to be careful because you can very easily scratch the panels.

How Many Panels Of Twinkly Squares Should I Get?
You can get as many Twinkly Square as you want, but remember that you can only connect 15 panels on one plug.
I suggest you at least get 20 to get the best quality because if you get fewer squares, the pixels will also be fewer and you won’t get the quality you want.
However, some images can be displayed in good quality on only several Twinkly Squares. It depends on what image you will be using, if it’s landscape, I suggest you put the panels in that way.
