 my long review (4 of 5 stars) Dec 05, 2007
By E. Campbell
This is the best light effect (for a normal price range) I've come across. It's approx 100x better than the "laserpod".
It covers a lot of wall/ceiling space -- the beam spread is almost exactly a 90 degree wide cone (not 180 degrees) - so if you put it in a corner on the floor and aim it at 45 degrees up, the circular star field will have one edge on the ceiling directly above and the bottom edge just above floor level and you'll have stars on the majority of two walls & your ceiling.
..another way to look at it -- if you point it straight up at your 10 foot high ceiling up, the circular star field will stretch 20 feet across your ceiling...
This does, in general, give a great impression of being random stars swirling about. Obviously, this is meant for a dark or very dim room. A well lit room kill the effect completely. In a dark room it really does fill a lot of wall/ceiling space
It seems well built (though it warns only use it 4 hours at a time so I imagine there is an overheating issue with the green laser). I'm using it in a cool well ventilated area & it doesn't seem to create much heat at all.
It's louder than I expected (loud fan if you're in a quiet room - about the level of a louder computer fan - but in a party atmosphere or with music you'll never notice it)
Criticism:
The brightest "star" is in the exact center of the field & it doesn't move at all ...around it are 8 more stars that create a distinct 3x3 square grid... This square grid rotates slowly/steadily... This does take away from the random effect (it doesn't kill the effect but it may be an issue for some).
That's really the end of the review... some more random thoughts about it below...
videos I've seen on youtube of this product are horrible - regular video cameras probably have a hard time with this.
I believe this is a cheap version (rip off?) of a "BlissLight" -- but the BlissLight starts at around a grand & is more for real light shows in large rooms.
There are additional lights in the 3x3 grid pattern but they are dim & aren't an issue ...Additionally, there are also a number of other (not exactly random but close enough) points scattered around the edges but these don't take away at all -- in fact the outside stationary lights actually add to the effect. (the nearby stars zoom by while the distant stars never move)
The blue nebula is alright (pretty cool but it doesn't spread out enough)

Absolutely amazing! But some more settings would be nice. Dec 04, 2007
By Bill M.

I saw this at the Sharper Image store and decided on a whim to buy it. It already looked incredible in the store, even though the store was fully-lit and the projection was just a small one against the wall behind the shelf. I took it home and projected it on my ceiling with my lights off and...wow. I was just so blown away. My girlfriend and I just lied on the bed and stared. You really just have to see it to believe it.
The projection is pretty wide. I keep it near the foot of my queen-sized bed, and it covers the ceiling above plus most of the side wall. Obviously, the further back you put the device, the wider it will project. It seems that there are literally thousands of stars. A few will seem bright and stationary, but others will move about in all different directions and different intensities. This gives it some great depth. The bright ones in the middle seem to form a 3x3 grid, and this symmetry might otherwise ruin the "natural" look of it all, but if you have the light at an angle (which you almost certainly will) it's not really noticable.
The device is very simple. Just plug it in and turn it on. It stands about a foot tall. In addition to the on/off switch, there is a dial for the nebula intensity. This shows up in the middle of the stars as a big blue, gassy cloud. The detail of this cloud is amazing too. Turning the dial changes the brightness of the cloud. You can turn it all the way down so that you only see stars too. Just pick a level you like the most.
My only complaint is that it would be nice to have a few more knobs to control other parameters. For example, the speed of the stars. As I mentioned, there are countless stars moving at all different speeds, but it would be nice to have an over-all speed control so that you can vary the intensity of the experience. Different colors would be great too. The starsall come out as green, which again still looks incredible, but it would be nice to see them all in white or even some other color. Ditto for the nebula cloud. Maybe this has to do with the limits of lasers and their colours, I don't know. But for the price of this device, you'd think they'd include some more variation.
Over all though, this device does a great job at what it's supposed to do. It costs more, but if you compare this to some of the other projectors (most of which seem to be holes-in-a-sheet), you'll see why.

Laser Stars Nov 30, 2007
By M. O'Rourke
I love this little gadget. It really does look cool, and displays on anything ... even the 75 foot tree in my front yard, or across the street for that matter. I wonder on a cloudy night if it will bounce off the clouds? :-) Looks really cool in my den which is about 35 feet across, it covers the whole room, even the walls. There are thousands of stars moving in every which direction ... and almost realistic, if the stars were white instead of green it would get 5 stars. Still love it, and it's a great night light to boot. :-).

 Two units broke in one month, but beautiful! Jan 09, 2008
By Christine Fingado
"In Pursuit of Happiness"
I purchased mine from Sharper Image. Each unit sat untouched on the dresser and were not handled aside from off/on switch. Both the first unit and replacement unit broke within 2-3 weeks. Fan becomes loud and have to knock on it to quite it down until it eventually just stays in a loud whirring mode. Second unit began loud whirring and green laser/stars stopped functioning altogether (even with the love tap). I have opted not to take my chances again! It WAS beautiful, though...daughter loved it at bedtime, you could stare at it for hours and never quite see the same pattern. Very dreamy! With such a VERY poor track record, I don't recommend it! The store even gave me grief about returning the second unit past 60 days since it "goes by the date of the first purchase, not the replacement swap." They gave in when I pointed out the absurdity of that logic, but still, a lot of grief for a lot of money!

 ehhh.... Mar 23, 2009
By The Real Story
Was initially disappointed that the stars are GREEN, yes GREEN. I have never in my life seen a green star, so I thought there must be a control that would change the color to something more natural...say.....WHITE? No such luck. The cloud formation is pretty cool (they are blue btw), you can turn that feature off, which is the only variation to whole system. No speed control, color variation, just clouds or no clouds. Finally thought the look was cool, and liked the shooting star effects, when all of a sudden the laser for the stars goes out (within 7 months of purchase) permanently. Now I can only do the cloud, which is the least exciting aspect of the 'system'. I will say that the stars were very sharp and crisp, and the movement was cool,but for the price this should have lasted at least 2 years IMO. If you have lots of cash to throw away, you might be happier with it than I was.
