Product Information

Hence, we're interested to see how this one stacks up against the aforementioned model which we gave four stars out of five. Like the aforementioned SkyLite Evolve, it isn't scientific or educational, but it's a novelty item to add ambiance to a room or to use as a sleep aid. The other reason is the strange marketing around the product, which seems to target ladies' insecurities (check it out for yourself if you don't believe us) — which we obviously disagree with. One shows a starry sky with 60,000 stars while the other contains constellation labels to aid with learning. This premium projector is based on discs of highly detailed NASA imagery to fill your space (rather than just meter-squared visuals).

While the packaging may be underwhelming and could use some improvements, the projector's actual design and build quality are excellent. Planetariums on the other hand are strictly realistic and accurate depictions of the night sky, which are sometimes even time and location-sensitive to show you the night sky as it appears at a given time.The Orzors Galaxy Lite Home Planetarium Star Projector is incredibly easy to operate, use three buttons to turn on the device, start/stop rotation, and set the sleep timer — that's all there is to it.

Replacement disks aren't too expensive and there is a vast catalog to choose from, but still, it's best to avoid waste if it can be helped. There are drawbacks, of course; the printed stars and constellations are back-to-front to ensure an accurate (but somewhat blurry) projection.

The button controls are simple and almost identical to the National Geographic Astro Planetarium, in all but shape. Flip the cylindrical body to view rotating stars or constellations, or put on the translucent cap to transform the projector into a glowing blue nightlight.

It has built-in speakers to play AM/FM radio, an impressive five-year warranty, and it’s about as compact as the Sega Homestar. Star projectors often have a rotation feature to enhance your stargazing experience, usually toggled with a switch or button on the projector. Using another of the supplied light covers), the star projector can also be used as a simple blue-colored night light. The operation of the motor is nearly silent, so it would be a perfect sleeping aid if that is what you're looking for a star projector to help with. Like many other star projectors, there's a 'shooting star' function, although, in our Sega Homestar Flux review, we explained how we'd like this to be at random intervals, or in a different place each time so it isn't as predictable.The projector has a three-watt LED bulb that can project up to 106 inches in diameter from a distance of 60 to 90 inches away. Other star projectors on this list, namely the Bliss Lights models, offer more color combinations, but there's more than enough here to entertain yourself and your children. The level of customization control we have — can we change the color combinations, can the laser and lights be operated independently, the speed of the rotation and so on. As with an old-fashioned overhead projector, the projector can be focused onto near or far surfaces to increase or decrease the size of the images.
