This premium planetarium projector is designed to create a soothing environment using RGBW ocean wave and starlight effects. The 2.2mm thick ABS shell provides a sturdy exterior that is built to handle the daily activity of a family home. A standout feature is the sound-activated mode, which allows the light patterns to change in response to ambient music or voices.
Specifications indicate the use of a Class 2 laser diode for the star patterns, which has a typical operational life of approximately 5,000 hours. The internal gearbox uses nylon spur gears for the wave movement; to ensure these gears perform smoothly, it is best to use a 5V/2A power source, as lower-wattage plugs may cause the motor to stutter or work harder than intended.
While the unit includes a built-in speaker, it is primarily optimized for atmospheric light. The USB port offers versatility, allowing the unit to be powered by a laptop or a portable power bank during travel or for use in different areas of the house. To protect the acrylic lens from scratches that could blur the projection, avoid using abrasive cleaners on the top dome.
For a version that offers a wider range of 33 different light effects and integrated white noise, the Hodans Northern Galaxy lamp may be a suitable choice.
