+April DeCarlo Thankyou! That means a lot! Im glad I was able to help! There is nothing worse than buying something and then not being satisfied with it once it arrives! Thankyou for watching and your kind comments once again! :-)
Thankyou very much! I kinda had to do an updated review as a few people where unhappy with my first one!! Are you going to get one btw? They are good and well worth it if you can find one on offer! (Just make sure it's a genuine one)!! Glad you like my accent too! Some viewers can't actually understand me half the time!! I need elocution lessons!!! Thankyou for watching and commenting too btw! Very much appreciated! :-)
I watched both reviews! Very helpful. I'll definitely get one when I move to the new flat and have more space to project the, um, space? :) Ah, I learned English with an old soviet teacher and these were always making sure proper British English is used in the materials. So it's actually much easier for me to understand you or someone from Scotland than an American :)
Yep...it does! Im actually waiting for it to break so I can buy another a do another "better" review! The blue nebular has started to fade abit but apart from that -all working fine! (And its on almost EVERY night!) Its on right now in my sons room!
Is it normal that the stars go blurry now and then ? Im wondering if i should return/exchange my model . Every say 5 min my stars go blurry as in the dots turn into short lines.
leen beets Hmm that doesn’t seem right to be honest. (Sorry)! On my model the stars do go slightly blurry but only around the very far edges of the projection. But even still they are blurry circles not short lines! Unfortunately you may have to return it I’m afraid! How frustrating! Sorry to hear that! I hope it all goes smoothly!
Hi Alex i was wondering where you could actually place this laser ? It would have to be high enough so a child would not look directly into it so how close to the ceiling can the projector go before it becomes distorted? Didn't want to buy it and then have nowhere to put it. Would a wardrobe be to high? Sorry for so many questions.
+Verity Spinelli Hi Verity, dont be worryiong about the questions! Always glad to help. To be honest the further away from the ceiling the better the effect but dont forget you could (depending on the position) have it projecting against a wall. (i.e Pointing down from the wardrobe) But if the wardrobe isnt too high then you should have no problems. Ive just tested it on my toddlers 5ft wardrobe pointing at the ceiling and you still get a great, clear effect. However it doesnt cover the ceiling, only about 80% of it. (Its the same ceiling shown in the video) Dont forget tho as well it is wall mountable if you dont mind placing some screws in the wall and you could make it just out of reach of the little one but a good height for it to project well on the ceiling. Hope that makes sense!! If not just let me know!!! Always glad to help!! :-)
I got this projector 3 days ago and my green laser starlight stopped working. There’s still a buzzing sound though. My blue nebula is still working normally. Any idea what happened? :(
Hmm, either way it doesn’t sound good. Can you return it? I would definitely get in touch with wherever you bought it from and see what they say. You should be entitled to either a refund or replacement! Let me know how you get on! 👌
Are there separate switches for the Green Laser Stars & Blue Nebula? If there are 2 separate switches & you had them both on...would the blue nebula & lasers always be at full brightness? I noticed that in both reviews the blue nebula faded in & out. I wasn't sure if that was you switching it on & off or if the blue "nebula" automatically fades in/out. I'm wondering if this would work at a wedding reception hall if I had all the room lighting dimmed down to like 20 percent (like candle light dark). Thanks!
Hi there!! Apologies about the late reply! In regards to your questions you will be glad to know that the device does indeed come with two switches! One switch is just an on/off push button for the stars and the other is a dimmer switch for the gas nebular so you can adjust the brightness. (The stars cannot be adjusted brightness wise tho)! So in the vid that is just me using the dimmer switch up and down but in reality you can just leave it on and it'll stay there! Hope that makes sense! :-) If you had the lights dimmed down btw then this should work fine, obviously you won't get the same effect as in total darkness but you should easily see the stars! If you have any other questions please feel free to ask! Thankyou for watching and commenting too btw! Very much appreciated!!
Sorry to hear that, I do know there was a model made where you could replace the bulb but obviously not sure which model you have. Apparently if you contact this amazon seller thye may be able to help. geni.us/gPqNA5u
You seem like a sweet guy, but you STILL talk way too much. I was sitting here with my unit waiting for you to describe turning the unit on/ off high low, etc it's not that hard to figure out. I have had my unit on for over an hour. The green laser has been moving, but the blue cloud effect does not seem to be moving. I was wondering if there is any way to change timing of effects (other than turning the blue cloud higher or lower and I know you can also use either the blue or green independently. Thank you
Hi Bev, apologies for the late reply and apologies for the too much talking! Ha Ha! I honestly don't mean too but unfortunately it's just a very bad habit! Must like the sound of my own voice!! Anyhow I'm sorry to here about your blue light not moving, it would appear (as seen in other comments) that there are some slightly different variations/models of this gadget available! But being brutally honest you aren't missing much, on my one it only moves ever so slightly! As for the timing of the effects I'm afraid the only thing you can do is to buy one of those plug in timers and then you can programme the stars or the blue light (or both) to come on but I'd guess that's about it! Is that the kind of thing you meant?
Hi there, so as this is a laser product then yes if you had the dots constantly passing your eyes then I’d imagine that it wouldn’t be good for them. However for simple ceiling projection then you are ok!!👌
No problem, I’m going to do a more up to date and easier to follow review for everyone soon! (Like my Cozmo Robot review) Maybe that will help people out a lot more instead of having to watch me waffle on for so long!! Ha ha!! Thanks for watching and commenting by the way!! Much appreciated!!

best video!! i just bought this for my kiddos birthday. hes insane about space. cant wait to surprise him with it. I wonder if you can place a colored film in front of the lens to tweak the color?
@@mcphoney i put random dark grey "blackholes" on the ceiling. I found out it makes things not as bright, lol. BUT---as the stars and nebula are moving around, they look really cool against the dark/light. makes them almost look like they get sucked into the blackholes then pop back out onto the light. I hung clear strips of packing tape from the ceiling and now when the lasers hit them, they send random (we have a fan blowing) comets and shooting stars ! I made a fluffy cloud from stuffing and the lights dance in it in really cool ways. This light is awesome to play with!
+Mumu Pomeranian Yes indeed! You can turn the nebular completly off and litrally just have the stars! :-) Hope that helps! Thankyou for watching and commenting too! Very much appreciated!
lillian pollock Hi Lillian, thanks for your question. I'm sorry to hear that your laser has gone bust! :-( To be honest I don't think it can be repaired, but at the same time I haven't looked into myself. It may just be a simple laser replacement or it may be more expensive than buying a new projector! Really sorry I couldn't be more help. Have you had it long? I suppose you could try and contact the company you bought it from and see if they know anything about a repair option, or see if there is a local 'specialist' electrician who may know what to do. Once again really sorry I couldn't help. Hope you can somehow get it sorted. :-) Let me know how you get on!
Sasuke Hi there! Thanks for watching! My little one actually got this when he was 1! Maybe even just before! He would never sleep you see so we tried everything to try and help! However he is now nearly 4 and he asks for it on ever night now when he falls asleep! So although we have used it occasionally over the years he is heavily using it now! Hope that helps! :-)
+EndrizziFilms Hi there! No probs and thankyou for watching and commenting too! Very much appreciated! Glad it helped! I do highly recommend this gadget, is great to look at and can be very relaxing too so would probably be ideal in your suite room!
Don't worry mine doesn't have shooting stars either, I think on the video it just looks as though there are some but I've sat and watched for hours with the baby and never seen one! :-)
Hi there great video thank you! I was wondering if it matters what type of ceiling you have - here in North America older homes have a "popcorn" or "cottage cheese" or "stucco" ceiling if that makes sense. Would the projector work equally as well?
Hi there! Apologies about the very late reply! To be honest it shouldn't matter what ceiling type you have as the projector seems to work on anything. It's more of "as long as you have enough darkness" that matters really. Hope that makes sense! Honestly though I'm positive the projector will work fine on your ceiling! :-) Thankyou for watching and commenting too btw! Very much appreciated!
hi, my laser won’t turn on? i’ve had it for a week and the blue light turns on fine, but the laser won’t turn on even when clicking the on and off button. please help:(
Did you sort it? If not defo contact the place you got it from and request a replacement/refund. If you dont get any response from them then speak to whoever you piad for it with. ie.Bank, Paypal, Credit card. They maybe able to help too. Hope you do get it sorted though!
MCPHONEY not yet unfortunately:( i’ve contacted them and i had to send them video proof. they also said that the laser won’t turn on in conditions that are too hot/cold. i live in the UK as well and it’s not been that hot recently, in fact it’s been raining heavy the past couple of days! but even at night sometimes the laser won’t come on. have you ever had it where it doesn’t work or the laser flickers on and off?
Veezuppp Hmm, they are talking rubbish. Why wouldn’t the laser turn on if it’s too hot or cold? Maybe if we lived on the sun or in Antarctica, I’d get that but here in the UK the temp shouldn’t be a problem. If you don’t mind me asking was it from Amazon you got the device? Also, (sorry about this) but just to confirm did you send over video proof to them? Finally how did you pay for the product? Basically by law you have 30 days to return a product if it’s faulty. If the company refuses to play ball which sounds like they may then this link could help. www.moneysavingexpert.com/reclaim/visa-mastercard-chargeback/#how I know it’s all a pain in a the backside but if they do ask you to return it make sure it is returned/posted 1st class signed for with a signature. Just incase they try to say “it never arrived etc” But also contact them every day if need be. Asking have they received your video, are they sorting it out? etc Are they processing the refund etc Be kind but firm. Let me know dude!
I know this is very very late but I have had one of these for 5 years and I believe the bulb just died minutes ago - any ideas where I can get a replacement? I've gotten very used to having this around and it sucks that I may have to move on from this unless I can fix it. Thanks!
I’ll be honest, I don’t think you can replace the bulbs! however what my wife and son use now is this “spaceman projector”. Really cheap and does the job. I’ve got a video on my channel about it. Just skip the unboxing and go to around the 4 minute mark to see what you think. 👌 ruclips.net/video/WpOB1RYXcgI/видео.htmlsi=TvT6wXTQGGPm4t8u
@@mcphoney Thank you! It's crazy to think I paid over £100 for that, but I guess it has been 5 years. I'll definitely look into getting the one in your other video, it looks like its pretty damn good
@bagadoink our one (yep from this video) just about works, but it’s very dim! So when my son got the Astronaut we just use that now! And it can be really bright too! See what you think anyhow! 👌
@@mcphoney Just ordered it after watching your review, looks like it'll get a lot brighter which is nice, also at a fraction of the price. Probably much cheaper than trying to find someone to fix the old one. Appreciate it!
I have this projector as well. It gives a great atmosphere. The problem is the fan. It makes too much noise. I already sent back my first projector. The fan started to make more and more noise. Probably it is a very cheap fan without ball bearing. We hope the seconde device holds out any better.
Hi Roy! Thankyou for watching and commenting! How loud was your fan? Was it getting ridiculously loud? My one is (so far) still fairly quiet. Don't get me wrong you can defo hear it but it doesn't ruin the overall effect or anything, just a slight background hum! That does appear to be he one thing about this device tho is that there are slightly different versions available and it appears to be the luck of the draw which one you get! Hopefully if you decide on another one then it will be with a super quiet fan! :-) Thankyou for watching and commenting btw, very much appreciated!
I see that they make two different models a 5105 and a 5106. Besides the 5105 being an older model I would really like to know the difference between the two of anyone knows.
Hi I was thinking of getting this, wanted to know if I just had the tv on Would this still be visible, I know it works best in a dark room, but just wanted to know how good does it work with just the tv on
It would still work pretty well with just the tv on top be honest. Although tvs do give off some light the laser cosmos is quite powerful so you would only loose some of the effect. I think you would be fine!
@@mcphoney Very nice video. A question: Are there different versions of this Laser Cosmos Star Light Projector ? I don ´t find one in the same pink nebula. There are only in blue with green lights. In Germany it´s not possible to get one.
Hi there! Apologies but that is unfortunately just the way the camera picks up the blue nebula colour. So from what I know there is only a blue nebula version available. I think i mentioned this in the updated review I did because no matter what I tried with the camera it always came out a different colour! As for purchasing have you tried findmeagift.co.uk They do worldwide shipping! 👌
I just watched your previous video on this product. Your response to a comment led me here. I respect a person who takes valid criticism and responds accordingly as you did with this. Without drama. None the less, the action begins at ruclips.net/video/c3waBuL4eEc/видео.html Subscribed
Thank you! Tbh I need to do an even better updated review (with more footage of the actual stars, how big the projecttion can go etc) but im still waiting for the old one to break so I can buy a new one! Once again though thank you for the comments!
does it make a lot of noise? lets say in a silent room where you sleep or while watching a movie? planning to put this in my music studio and cant have a humming fan or rotating noise while working (yes even during music production)..thanks!
Rog Ma Hi there! Thankyou for watching and commenting! I've got some bad news I'm afraid, although this is really quiet (could easily sleep or watch a movie with it on) it does have a very small fan/humming noise when it's on. Almost like a computer fan-but a quiet one! Not sure if you saw it but on the 6minute mark on the video I try to demonstrate the noise it makes being close and far away from it! If you need complete silence however in your music studio then I don't think this would suffice. For example my RUclips mic would pic it up in my studio. Even though it's barley noticeable!! Hope that helps!! :-) Sorry I couldn't be the bearer of good news!
Multiple reviews saying that it arrived broken or worked only a few times and then never worked again. ALL of the planetarium projectors I have looked at have reviews saying that they break right away and have to be trashed or returned. What is up with that? So frustrating shopping for these things.
Will the electrical outlet plug be the same in the United States? I mean will it work here in the U. S.? Sorry, but I wouldn't have a clue since I've never been to the U.K.
Hi there, thanks for watching!! As for your question I presume if you buy it from Amazon (in the U.S - I’ve placed links under the video) then you should get a U.S model/version. However if you were unsure you could always email amazon just to double check. But I’m pretty positive if you ordered from US stock you would be fine! :-) Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful! Let me know how you get on!
You can defo hear a slight noise from the motor but my son (who wakes up when fly lands on a leaf) has never complained about it...yet! Ha ha! Hopefully its not to loud for you! (And you like it!)
Ive not read all the comments - so apologies if this question has been asked (and answered). Are the green lasers safe (on the eyes) and if so how? Thanks heaps
Hi there! Apologies about the late reply! I don't think your question has been asked so I shall answer away! :-) Unfortunately though the laser isn't safe to look directly into like with all lasers. So you may have to keep an eye on young children playing with it just in case! Don't worry it won't burn your eyes or anything like that but still can be harmful! A great gadget though! Are you thinking of getting one? Thankyou for watching and commenting too btw! Very much appreciated! :)
Hi there, sorry about the late reply! I think in terms of height you should have no problem with the lasers. Can’t gurentee the blue nebular will be as vibrant however but personally I think you should still see it! But as for 10m wide I think you May struggle to fill it as in the demonstration the room is about 3m wife and although it does project onto the walls as well as the ceiling I would say on total it can only cover up to about 5m in length. Sorry I couldn’t be more precise as I don’t have anywhere large enough to test it for you!
+Tony Schwartz Thankyou Tony! In regards to your question, as long as the room is dark enough then pretty much floor, table, chair, shelf or anywhere for that matter will still look good. We place ours on the floor pointing at the ceiling in the babys room and he (as well as us) love it!! Thankyou once again for watching and commenting! Very much appreciated!
Hi Samuel, hmm thats an odd one. Have you spoken to the place where you bought it from? It may just be a slight fault with a motor or something? I have read though that apparently there are lots of different types (possibly fakes) being made but flogged as the real deal. Some people have said theres only lasted a couple of weeks or that the stars dont move but the blue light does. Lots of different things. Let me know how you got on though! :-) I bought ours from findmeagift.co.uk if thats any help?
We have this exact model and our blue light still works but the stars' light is burnt out (got about a years worrh) Where can I get a replacement???!! Thx
Hi Mosses! Thanks for watcning! Unfortunately i dont think you can specifically get a replacement bulb/part if thats what you meant. I havent looked into specifically but would imagine it may cost more to fix than to actually replace the whole thing! If however you did just mean replacement for the entire thing then I actually got my model from findmeagift.co.uk. Hope that helps!! Ps.Aplogies about the late reply!
@Moses Mabarak Hi Moses, if you're still looking for a solution to this, I might be able to point you in the right direction, as I've been doing some research about this projector (or the previous version of it, to be exact) in order to sell a few of them on eBay. While looking at other sellers' listings, I came across this service (link below), "Laser Stars / Twilight Laser Repair - Laser Repair Service". Now, I've never used this service (and it's not the only one like it on eBay), so you'd be using it at your own risk! However, the seller I've linked has a 100% positive feedback rating with more than 1,500 ratings under their belt, so there's that. If you click the 'Services Desired' drop-down menu, you'll see they offer laser replacement, fan replacement, or both (US $29.99 for one or US $57.99 for both; that's £22.15 and £42.83 at the time of this comment). Their fee is a fraction of what it would cost to replace the whole contraption, and they say their turnaround is normally 1 - 2 weeks. ebay (dot com) /itm/Laser-Stars-Twilight-Laser-Repair-Laser-Repair-Service-Read-Description-/172283722476?var=&hash=item281ce8faec:m:mN0WOHebQff9nchOEbiUNIQ
To be honest I’m not sure why some of them don’t work for very long. Our one is STILL working! (It’s currently on as I write this)! But a lot of people have had a few problems. Not sure if there are a few fake ones going around maybe??? Thanks for watching and commenting by the way!! Much appreciated!! Hopefully going to do a simpler and quicker review to help everyone out soon! I feel this video is far to long and I talk far too much as well!!
wondering what opening angle this projection roughly has? I hope you understand what I mean. thinking about using the projector in a tent for a festival, but if the projection angle is only 90°, it won't be good enough. 180° would be perfect as it would fill the whole tend all the way to the bottom.
+huabamane2 Hi there, thankyou for watching and commenting! Apologies about the late reply! To be honest its a bit of an odd one, its definately more than 90 degrees but less than 180. So id say apossible 120-140 degree angle maybe? Of course thats just guestimating though! Sorry I couldnt be more precise but I can definately says its not 180. (But a lot more than 90!)
+mcphoney hi, thanks for the reply. Are you aware of any star projector that has a full 180° projection, even if he projection isn't as good quality. the key would be that it has to move.
+huabamane2 Well I have a little look around on the web and unfortunately it doesn't look like there is one available. The only thing that may be helpful is this VIDEO HERE ruclips.net/video/aJy2um-asSs/видео.html The video appears to show it filling up quite a lot of the space plus it is only cheap too! I haven't actually got one or tested it myself though! Let me know your thoughts!
Not on this particular one I’m afraid, but I have seen a version an updated version on Amazon where the bulb could be changed. I’ll be honest the one we/my son has that is featured in this video is still going after all these years!
I actually now have one of these in my university room. I spent the first two nights with everyone in the flat sort of congregated in my room under it :) oh, btw, mine only says on for two hours, so anyone buying it should probably expect either or.
Oh dear, it appears there are quite a few versions of this gadget flying around. Thankyou for letting us know, I wonder if anyone else has had this issue? I'm glad you are happy with it though! THANKYOU for watching too!! :-)
mcphoney Eh, well i got it from the same site as you so im not sure about the different versions theory. maybe the manufacturers just made some alterations since you got yours. and you are very welcome :)
+Jessica “Ghost” Emmas Yes, i think you are most probably correct on that one! The main thing is aslong as it does the job of entertaining us I suppose!! :-)
Nice video mate. I was debating between this product and Sega Homestar planetarium. They both look nice, but I think I'm going with Sega Homestar, just personal preference. Again, nice video and good info.
Bought one from Amazon did not last 2 weeks after it ran for 15 or 20 minutes it would show up as double images of the stars sometimes 3 or more images of the same stars upon looking at others reviews which I should have done before the purchase I found this to be an ongoing problem with other buyers as well boxed it up and sent it back to Amazon for a refund, it sure was beautiful tho for the short time it did work properly count your blessings yours has worked for 8 hours a night for a year.
Liked your review, caught both of them and I know my next question really has nothing to do with yourself but I'm hopeful.... Since I really want this product.... I'm in Australia... Any idea on how I can get one over hear that is genuine and can fit our electrical points? I've tried several of the U.K. Sites but getting no responses :(
I got this cool thing for over 3 years now and it still works perfectly. It 's very cool in a pitch dark room and if you have mirrors in your room it's even a better effect.
Hi Alex. Great review, nice to see it up close and a good representation of the effects it produces. Looking to get one for 4-year-old to use at bedtime, although not sure now because of the fan noise. Do you happen to know how long the power cable is on it? I've currently got a lamp cable running behind a wardrobe and into the socket so it needs to be a decent length to reach. Thanks in advance. 😀
Hi Lee, Thanks for watching and commenting! The actual cable length (approx) is 180cm or 185cm with the plug! Hope that helps! Also, when we first got this device my son was the lightest sleeper, (waking up about 8-9 times a night) however the fan didnt seem to bother him! Its difficult to explain how loud the actual fan is, although it can be heard its more like a very mild hum if thats makes sense so i personally think your 4 year old should be ok with it! Cant guarentee it but i honestly think they'll be fine! :-)
MCPHONEY Hi Alex, thanks for the super quick reply 😀. That's very helpful as I couldn't find the cable length anywhere online! I have a regular Epson projector, would you think the sound from the fan on that is comparable?
No worries Lee! Im actually editing ANOTHER updated review for my new channel MCPHONEY TECH (which is coming in a couple of months) so you asked at the right time! Ha ha! As for the epson projector Im not too sure what the sound is like on that however from projectors ived used in the past (a long time ago) id say it was slightly louder. But only slightly! Maybe even the same? Ive just tried to take a sound reading of it so i could give you the exact decibel and it appears to come up at around 6db. The app i used was showing 20db in complete silence and went up to around 25-27db with the projector on. Not sure if that makes sense but hope it helps!!! :-)
hello, thank you for your review, I want the product for my own room, not just for a baby hahah, but are you sure that the cloud is only blue? I mean, in both videos I see a clearly light purple in the center of the blue cloud. I see clearly the green dots, and the blue cloud, but I also see a bit of purple in the center, which just looks great.
Hi there! Thankyou for watching and commenting! Yes I'm afraid it definitely is just blue! I tried for ages to get he camera to show it as it is but the colour purple seems to keep slipping in there ha ha! But honestly its just a blue cloud and green stars. Are you on Twitter or Instagram? I'll take a picture and show you on there if that's any help? Just let me know! :-) (I'm on both Twitter/Instagram under mcphoney)
Hola! Soy de Chile y quería preguntar donde puedo comprarlo o en que página o si lo venden en E.E.U.U? Por favor me ayudarías mucho respondiéndome, sueño con uno de esos🙏
It is a pretty cool little device and my kid still loves it! The blue nebular effect is starting to die a bit now however but its lasted over 4 years so cant complain!
Thank-you so much for the update. Can i ask a technical question.... Does it say on the unit anywhere what class of laser it has? I'm in Australia and we have some oppressive laws regarding what type of lasers you can bring into the country (brought in because of people pointing high powered lasers at airplanes). I have a nagging feeling these may be banned in Australia and you can only get knock off versions that have a downgraded laser and people say they are nowhere near as good. I will email FindMeAGift and see if they ship to Australia cause if they do i'm going to order one.
+dannymosquito Hi Danny, thankyou for watching and commenting! Glad the video was of some use! Gutted about the laser ban though! :-( However In regards to the class of the laser its a bit of a tricky one. Im mentioned it in the original video too because on the box and on the specifications (from the website) it is listed as a CLASS 1 laser however the sticker on the device itself labels it as a CLASS 2 laser. ruclips.net/video/YwfdAsdqnJs/видео.htmlm31s (Here is the clip of the sticker) But it does state that the maximum laser power output is 1mw which is usually quite safe so hopfullyl that will be ok to purchase in your country! :-) Hope that helps! Let me know how you get on! And thankyou for subscribing too - very much appreciated!!!
Great review! I am definitely buying this tomorrow in Dubai however and I am flying back to Malaysia two days later, I am scared to put it in the checked in luggage as it looks very fragile. Do you think the airport security will let me carry it as a hand luggage?
Hi there!! Thankyou for the kind words! Glad the review was of some use! :-)!!As for taking it on a plane i can't see there being a problem with it being in the hand luggage I think the main problem will be the size of it, especially if you keep it in the box. But if you are planning on keeping it in the box until you reach your destination I think it would be fine in your main luggage as it is wrapped quite well! Hope that makes sense! Plus our little one has knocked it over a few times and surprisingly it still works so they can take some knocks and bumps!! :-)
I love my laser cosmos, had this one since late 2009 my first one got stolen. It doesn't get used every night once every so often and it still works fine, also, my cats love it, I place it on the floor facing the long corridor and they charge up and down it chasing the dots.
jamie campbell Hi there, thanks for watching! In regards to your question it doesn’t specifically say it is just for kids but personally I would say it is aimed for the younger ones! At the same time however it is a pretty awesome light effect so it’s probs for all ages!! Hope that makes sense!!
awesome! I'm considering buying one. however I keep reading reviews saying that it breaks after a few months. Have you had any problems with it? thank you :)
Hi there! Thankyou for watching and commenting! To be honest I've heard the same rumours as well but we have had ours a very long time and although we don't use it as much now, we did leave it on all night for the first 8-9months (maybe even longer) it's still working fine and dandy, even after the baby (now toddler) has knocked it over quite a few times too!!!
Hi Christophe, apologies about the late reply! To be honest I don’t think it actually says on the projector but I shall have a look for you tomorrow morning and let you know! Watch this space!
Hell once again, so on the actual device itself there is a sticker underneath which states the following: 2013 CAN YOU IMAGINE LASER TWILIGHT MODEL NO. 5106 Hope that helps! :-)
thanks for getting back to me. he has had it about 19 months so well worth the money as used every night at bedtime. I will try shop see if they can help
Thank you for the excellent review ! Any idea how far from the ceiling this has to be ? We are thinking of putting this on a bedside bureau and were not sure whether it would still focus correctly. Many Thanks,
hi, I'm considering getting one but I heard you aren't supposed to use it for more than 4 hours. so it's dangerous to use & fall asleep? that kinda sucks.
+QuantomMusic Hi there! Thankyou for watching and commenting! To be honest we have (Well the baby has) been falling asleep to it for just over a year now and so far had no problems. And that includes turning it back on after it switches itself off. (Our baby is still frequently waking up so we are in his room most hours of the night) So id say its on at least 8hours per night with us! If you dont mind me asking did you read that warning somewhere or was it just word of mouth? Better be careful either way I suppose but it is defo worth getting! :-)
+MCPHONEY The 4 hour warning is from the manufacturer. (In the instruction book that came with my unit) longer than 4 hours at a time can overheat the laser, thus shortening the life of the laser according to the manual My Unit was made before they came with a built in timer. So i have always had to plug my light into an external timer, and always have it on for 4 hours. I've had this light about 5 years ago. (mine still works but the laser is dimmer than when it was new, and all but two of the blue leds have gone out (there are 6-8 blue leds inside).... I used this light every night for 5 years, 4 hours a night (thats 7300 hours!!!) and just recently has it started to show its age. It still looks great, just not as bright as it used to be 100% worth the money, will be buying another very soon
+John Doe THANKYOU! That is definitely good to know! As you can see from other comments that a lot of people expect this gadget to only last around a couple of months at most! Now I can safely say that is defo worth the money! We've had ours on must nights for about 2years now I think and it still looks great so far! Has even survived many a hard knock by the little one too! Really appreciate you putting your comment on here tho! It's good to know about these things and not just have me saying it so honestly Thankyou! :-)
Happy days! Hope you are happy with it! Im still waiting for this one to break so I can buy another one and do an "updated review"!! Thanks for watching and commenting btw! Much appreciated!
Hi Colin, thanks for watching! Yes indeed the stars and nebula keeps rotating. The camera doesn’t give the display much justice I’m afraid - it looks better in real life! Anyhow hope that helped! Any further questions feel free to ask! 👌
MrMakjak001 I’ll be honest that’s pretty much all it does. It shines green stars with the option of a blue nebula effect too! Not really much else you can show considering 90% of the footage is the light in action, unless you have any ideas? Always value feedback you see! :-) Plus im planning on doing an updated review (like my cozmo one) so all help is much appreciated! Let me know! 👌
Hi there, Thankyou for watching and commenting! There should be two switches, one for the stars which just is a push and click one and then a dial switch for the blue cloud! Let me know how you get on or if you have any further trouble! :-)
Handsome Guy 👍🏼 and nice video. Can the stars be blue instead of green? I ask this because real life stars are white or blue, and I would like it to feel realistic. If you know of any new projectors like that please let us know!
Hi there! Thanks for watching! I’m sorry to say the stars can only be green as it’s a green laser! It’s still very awesome as well as relaxing!! I’ve done a lot of research on other similar projectors but this one for the price seems the best. Others are just “slide projectors” that may create a nice effect but are far too expensive for what they are!! I nearly bought the “smithsonite” projector to review as that was quite popular but once again after reading other reviews, they weren’t too positive!! Sorry I couldn’t be more help!!
+AcesOverCowboys Hi there! Thankyou for watching and commenting! To be honest I think it would still work really well! Although tvs do produce a lot of light and dont think it would be enough to outshine this! You wouldnt get the full effect but you still get a damn good one!
Thank you for your in depth review and answering everyone's questions. I was wondering what happens if you walk around in the room while the laser is on? Do the green stars show up on your body as you're moving around in the room?
+......oOo Hi there, yes indeed they do, its like when you walk in front of a projector, whatever is being shown appears on you! Of course your shadow wil lalso appear on whatever is behind you as well)! Hope that makes sense!!
I like this gentleman.
+saad alkuwari Thankyou! That is very much appreciated! And thankyou for watching and commenting too! I hope it helped!! :-)
+MCPHONEY Is the laser still working? You can't get a new bulb for it
thomascampr Yes indeed! Surprisingly! Not sure how much life if left now though, it's been over 3 years!
I've spent hours online researching a home planetarium as a gift for a loved one. You've provided the greatest information possible! Thank you!
+April DeCarlo Thankyou! That means a lot! Im glad I was able to help! There is nothing worse than buying something and then not being satisfied with it once it arrives! Thankyou for watching and your kind comments once again! :-)
You already live in a bigger planetarium: ruclips.net/video/Y5IsLBMjhtI/видео.html
This is literally the best review I've ever seen! Thank you very much for all the information and demonstration. Also, love your accent :)
Thankyou very much! I kinda had to do an updated review as a few people where unhappy with my first one!! Are you going to get one btw? They are good and well worth it if you can find one on offer! (Just make sure it's a genuine one)!! Glad you like my accent too! Some viewers can't actually understand me half the time!! I need elocution lessons!!! Thankyou for watching and commenting too btw! Very much appreciated! :-)
I watched both reviews! Very helpful. I'll definitely get one when I move to the new flat and have more space to project the, um, space? :)
Ah, I learned English with an old soviet teacher and these were always making sure proper British English is used in the materials. So it's actually much easier for me to understand you or someone from Scotland than an American :)
I was gonna say that!
it's 2020 now. just wondering, does it still work?
Yep...it does! Im actually waiting for it to break so I can buy another a do another "better" review! The blue nebular has started to fade abit but apart from that -all working fine! (And its on almost EVERY night!) Its on right now in my sons room!
Is it normal that the stars go blurry now and then ? Im wondering if i should return/exchange my model . Every say 5 min my stars go blurry as in the dots turn into short lines.
leen beets Hmm that doesn’t seem right to be honest. (Sorry)! On my model the stars do go slightly blurry but only around the very far edges of the projection. But even still they are blurry circles not short lines!
Unfortunately you may have to return it I’m afraid! How frustrating! Sorry to hear that! I hope it all goes smoothly!
I have bought my in 2015-Very cool light but unfortunately mine broke down after two years, I have replaced the laser and is still working so far.
Hi Alex i was wondering where you could actually place this laser ? It would have to be high enough so a child would not look directly into it so how close to the ceiling can the projector go before it becomes distorted? Didn't want to buy it and then have nowhere to put it. Would a wardrobe be to high? Sorry for so many questions.
+Verity Spinelli Hi Verity, dont be worryiong about the questions! Always glad to help. To be honest the further away from the ceiling the better the effect but dont forget you could (depending on the position) have it projecting against a wall. (i.e Pointing down from the wardrobe) But if the wardrobe isnt too high then you should have no problems. Ive just tested it on my toddlers 5ft wardrobe pointing at the ceiling and you still get a great, clear effect. However it doesnt cover the ceiling, only about 80% of it.
(Its the same ceiling shown in the video) Dont forget tho as well it is wall mountable if you dont mind placing some screws in the wall and you could make it just out of reach of the little one but a good height for it to project well on the ceiling.
Hope that makes sense!! If not just let me know!!! Always glad to help!! :-)
I got this projector 3 days ago and my green laser starlight stopped working. There’s still a buzzing sound though. My blue nebula is still working normally. Any idea what happened? :(
Hmm, either way it doesn’t sound good. Can you return it? I would definitely get in touch with wherever you bought it from and see what they say. You should be entitled to either a refund or replacement! Let me know how you get on! 👌
For the price, it would want to be working after 12 months. It would want to be working after 10 years.
SOMEONElikes the sound of their own voice ,,DAMN dude !!! less talkie ...more projector
You'll have to wait for my updated review then im afraid! Just awaiting for this one to finally die so I can re-buy it!
Are there separate switches for the Green Laser Stars & Blue Nebula? If there are 2 separate switches & you had them both on...would the blue nebula & lasers always be at full brightness? I noticed that in both reviews the blue nebula faded in & out. I wasn't sure if that was you switching it on & off or if the blue "nebula" automatically fades in/out. I'm wondering if this would work at a wedding reception hall if I had all the room lighting dimmed down to like 20 percent (like candle light dark). Thanks!
Hi there!! Apologies about the late reply! In regards to your questions you will be glad to know that the device does indeed come with two switches!
One switch is just an on/off push button for the stars and the other is a dimmer switch for the gas nebular so you can adjust the brightness.
(The stars cannot be adjusted brightness wise tho)!
So in the vid that is just me using the dimmer switch up and down but in reality you can just leave it on and it'll stay there! Hope that makes sense! :-)
If you had the lights dimmed down btw then this should work fine, obviously you won't get the same effect as in total darkness but you should easily see the stars!
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask!
Thankyou for watching and commenting too btw! Very much appreciated!!
The green light stars on mine has stopped working and doesn’t show up?has anyone else had this problem?
Sorry to hear that, I do know there was a model made where you could replace the bulb but obviously not sure which model you have. Apparently if you contact this amazon seller thye may be able to help.
geni.us/gPqNA5u
You seem like a sweet guy, but you STILL talk way too much. I was sitting here with my unit waiting for you to describe turning the unit on/ off high low, etc it's not that hard to figure out. I have had my unit on for over an hour. The green laser has been moving, but the blue cloud effect does not seem to be moving. I was wondering if there is any way to change timing of effects (other than turning the blue cloud higher or lower and I know you can also use either the blue or green independently. Thank you
Hi Bev, apologies for the late reply and apologies for the too much talking! Ha Ha! I honestly don't mean too but unfortunately it's just a very bad habit! Must like the sound of my own voice!!
Anyhow I'm sorry to here about your blue light not moving, it would appear (as seen in other comments) that there are some slightly different variations/models of this gadget available! But being brutally honest you aren't missing much, on my one it only moves ever so slightly! As for the timing of the effects I'm afraid the only thing you can do is to buy one of those plug in timers and then you can programme the stars or the blue light (or both) to come on but I'd guess that's about it! Is that the kind of thing you meant?
But why green? Ugh If the stars were mainly white with a little color variation and twinkled a little bit, that would be rad.
I do wonder why the colour green! Maybe green lasers are cheaper? Who knows! Ha ha! Thanks for watching and commenting btw! Much appreciated!
Fantastic review; you clearly outlined the product!! Thank you 😊
+Christine Mounsey Thankyou so much! Glad I was able to help! Really is a cool gadget to own, especially if you have any little ones hanging around!!!
Hi there! Are the green lasers dangerous to your eyes if they pass by them? Concerned about this.
Hi there, so as this is a laser product then yes if you had the dots constantly passing your eyes then I’d imagine that it wouldn’t be good for them. However for simple ceiling projection then you are ok!!👌
great video. Thank you very much
No problem, I’m going to do a more up to date and easier to follow review for everyone soon! (Like my Cozmo Robot review) Maybe that will help people out a lot more instead of having to watch me waffle on for so long!! Ha ha!! Thanks for watching and commenting by the way!! Much appreciated!!
This Christmas give your loved ones THEIR OWN UNIVERSE!
Imagine a secret holographic projection system in the bedroom. Everything looks normal until they lay down in their bed and look up in total wonder and surprise! The entire ceiling is "gone", revealing the most incredibly beautiful stargazing sky imaginable. They'll see thousands of stars, constellations, shooting stars and the Milky Way galaxy!
Stargazing is primal. Intuitive. We were meant to stargaze before sleep. It's awe inspiring, stress relieving, relaxing, and romantic. (But we'll never again see this kind of view in the city. That's why we created this!)
Astonishingly realistic and affordable! Call for an amazing demonstration now! It's FREE. See the StarsWorks their magic.

Great video, you briefly touched on the life of the bulb, but can the bulb be replaced?
Not with the model I got but I did hear a rumour that a new version was released with a changeable bulb on amazon apparently!
best video!! i just bought this for my kiddos birthday. hes insane about space. cant wait to surprise him with it. I wonder if you can place a colored film in front of the lens to tweak the color?
I havent tried it myself but would be interesting to see the results! Hope your little one likes it!
@@mcphoney i put random dark grey "blackholes" on the ceiling. I found out it makes things not as bright, lol.
BUT---as the stars and nebula are moving around, they look really cool against the dark/light.
makes them almost look like they get sucked into the blackholes then pop back out onto the light.
I hung clear strips of packing tape from the ceiling and now when the lasers hit them, they send random (we have a fan blowing) comets and shooting stars !
I made a fluffy cloud from stuffing and the lights dance in it in really cool ways.
This light is awesome to play with!
Hi! I do have a question sir, is there an option to turnoff the nebula thing and just the laser stars on running the entire 4hrs?
+Mumu Pomeranian Yes indeed! You can turn the nebular completly off and litrally just have the stars! :-) Hope that helps! Thankyou for watching and commenting too! Very much appreciated!
Hi our one the laser seem to have gone can it be repaired my grandson uses this every night
lillian pollock Hi Lillian, thanks for your question. I'm sorry to hear that your laser has gone bust! :-( To be honest I don't think it can be repaired, but at the same time I haven't looked into myself. It may just be a simple laser replacement or it may be more expensive than buying a new projector! Really sorry I couldn't be more help. Have you had it long?
I suppose you could try and contact the company you bought it from and see if they know anything about a repair option, or see if there is a local 'specialist' electrician who may know what to do. Once again really sorry I couldn't help. Hope you can somehow get it sorted. :-) Let me know how you get on!
How old was your boy when you started using the projector with him? Thanks
Sasuke Hi there! Thanks for watching! My little one actually got this when he was 1! Maybe even just before! He would never sleep you see so we tried everything to try and help! However he is now nearly 4 and he asks for it on ever night now when he falls asleep! So although we have used it occasionally over the years he is heavily using it now! Hope that helps! :-)
thanks for your review mate. very honest and well made! im a college kid thinking of buying this for my suite room. cheers.
+EndrizziFilms Hi there! No probs and thankyou for watching and commenting too! Very much appreciated! Glad it helped! I do highly recommend this gadget, is great to look at and can be very relaxing too so would probably be ideal in your suite room!
You convinced me to get one though I seldom see the shooting stars
Don't worry mine doesn't have shooting stars either, I think on the video it just looks as though there are some but I've sat and watched for hours with the baby and never seen one! :-)
Hi there great video thank you! I was wondering if it matters what type of ceiling you have - here in North America older homes have a "popcorn" or "cottage cheese" or "stucco" ceiling if that makes sense. Would the projector work equally as well?
Hi there! Apologies about the very late reply! To be honest it shouldn't matter what ceiling type you have as the projector seems to work on anything. It's more of "as long as you have enough darkness" that matters really. Hope that makes sense! Honestly though I'm positive the projector will work fine on your ceiling! :-) Thankyou for watching and commenting too btw! Very much appreciated!
hi, my laser won’t turn on? i’ve had it for a week and the blue light turns on fine, but the laser won’t turn on even when clicking the on and off button. please help:(
Did you sort it? If not defo contact the place you got it from and request a replacement/refund. If you dont get any response from them then speak to whoever you piad for it with. ie.Bank, Paypal, Credit card. They maybe able to help too. Hope you do get it sorted though!
MCPHONEY not yet unfortunately:( i’ve contacted them and i had to send them video proof. they also said that the laser won’t turn on in conditions that are too hot/cold. i live in the UK as well and it’s not been that hot recently, in fact it’s been raining heavy the past couple of days! but even at night sometimes the laser won’t come on. have you ever had it where it doesn’t work or the laser flickers on and off?
Veezuppp Hmm, they are talking rubbish. Why wouldn’t the laser turn on if it’s too hot or cold? Maybe if we lived on the sun or in Antarctica, I’d get that but here in the UK the temp shouldn’t be a problem.
If you don’t mind me asking was it from Amazon you got the device?
Also, (sorry about this) but just to confirm did you send over video proof to them?
Finally how did you pay for the product?
Basically by law you have 30 days to return a product if it’s faulty. If the company refuses to play ball which sounds like they may then this link could help.

I know it’s all a pain in a the backside but if they do ask you to return it make sure it is returned/posted 1st class signed for with a signature.
Just incase they try to say “it never arrived etc”
But also contact them every day if need be.
Asking have they received your video, are they sorting it out? etc
Are they processing the refund etc
Be kind but firm.
Let me know dude!
I know this is very very late but I have had one of these for 5 years and I believe the bulb just died minutes ago - any ideas where I can get a replacement? I've gotten very used to having this around and it sucks that I may have to move on from this unless I can fix it. Thanks!
I’ll be honest, I don’t think you can replace the bulbs! however what my wife and son use now is this “spaceman projector”. Really cheap and does the job. I’ve got a video on my channel about it. Just skip the unboxing and go to around the 4 minute mark to see what you think. 👌
ruclips.net/video/WpOB1RYXcgI/видео.htmlsi=TvT6wXTQGGPm4t8u
@@mcphoney Thank you! It's crazy to think I paid over £100 for that, but I guess it has been 5 years. I'll definitely look into getting the one in your other video, it looks like its pretty damn good
@bagadoink our one (yep from this video) just about works, but it’s very dim! So when my son got the Astronaut we just use that now! And it can be really bright too! See what you think anyhow! 👌
@@mcphoney Just ordered it after watching your review, looks like it'll get a lot brighter which is nice, also at a fraction of the price. Probably much cheaper than trying to find someone to fix the old one. Appreciate it!
I have this projector as well. It gives a great atmosphere. The problem is the fan. It makes too much noise. I already sent back my first projector. The fan started to make more and more noise. Probably it is a very cheap fan without ball bearing. We hope the seconde device holds out any better.
Hi Roy! Thankyou for watching and commenting! How loud was your fan? Was it getting ridiculously loud? My one is (so far) still fairly quiet. Don't get me wrong you can defo hear it but it doesn't ruin the overall effect or anything, just a slight background hum!
That does appear to be he one thing about this device tho is that there are slightly different versions available and it appears to be the luck of the draw which one you get! Hopefully if you decide on another one then it will be with a super quiet fan! :-) Thankyou for watching and commenting btw, very much appreciated!
I see that they make two different models a 5105 and a 5106. Besides the 5105 being an older model I would really like to know the difference between the two of anyone knows.
Hi I was thinking of getting this, wanted to know if I just had the tv on
Would this still be visible, I know it works best in a dark room, but just wanted to know how good does it work with just the tv on
It would still work pretty well with just the tv on top be honest. Although tvs do give off some light the laser cosmos is quite powerful so you would only loose some of the effect. I think you would be fine!
@@mcphoney Very nice video. A question:
Are there different versions of this Laser Cosmos Star Light Projector ? I don ´t find one in the same pink nebula. There are only in blue with green lights. In Germany it´s not possible to get one.
Hi there! Apologies but that is unfortunately just the way the camera picks up the blue nebula colour. So from what I know there is only a blue nebula version available. I think i mentioned this in the updated review I did because no matter what I tried with the camera it always came out a different colour!
As for purchasing have you tried findmeagift.co.uk
They do worldwide shipping! 👌
I just watched your previous video on this product. Your response to a comment led me here. I respect a person who takes valid criticism and responds accordingly as you did with this. Without drama. None the less, the action begins at ruclips.net/video/c3waBuL4eEc/видео.html

Thank you! Tbh I need to do an even better updated review (with more footage of the actual stars, how big the projecttion can go etc) but im still waiting for the old one to break so I can buy a new one! Once again though thank you for the comments!
introduce the product very clearly and comprehensive !!! great!
Thank you!
bloke looks like he aint slept in months, musta been up all night lookin at the stars
does it make a lot of noise?
lets say in a silent room where you sleep or while watching a movie?
planning to put this in my music studio and cant have a humming fan or rotating noise while working (yes even during music production)..thanks!
Rog Ma Hi there! Thankyou for watching and commenting! I've got some bad news I'm afraid, although this is really quiet (could easily sleep or watch a movie with it on) it does have a very small fan/humming noise when it's on. Almost like a computer fan-but a quiet one! Not sure if you saw it but on the 6minute mark on the video I try to demonstrate the noise it makes being close and far away from it! If you need complete silence however in your music studio then I don't think this would suffice. For example my RUclips mic would pic it up in my studio. Even though it's barley noticeable!!
Hope that helps!! :-) Sorry I couldn't be the bearer of good news!
Multiple reviews saying that it arrived broken or worked only a few times and then never worked again. ALL of the planetarium projectors I have looked at have reviews saying that they break right away and have to be trashed or returned. What is up with that? So frustrating shopping for these things.
Can we replace the bulb if it goes bad?
Hi there, so on the model I have you cannot replace the bulb however there are some on amazon where you can apparently.
Will the electrical outlet plug be the same in the United States? I mean will it work here in the U. S.? Sorry, but I wouldn't have a clue since I've never been to the U.K.
Hi there, thanks for watching!! As for your question I presume if you buy it from Amazon (in the U.S - I’ve placed links under the video) then you should get a U.S model/version. However if you were unsure you could always email amazon just to double check. But I’m pretty positive if you ordered from US stock you would be fine! :-) Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful! Let me know how you get on!
is this the best on the market? great review.... just a pity with the bulb issue
I’ve just ordered mine worried it’s gonna be too loud after seeing this lol
You can defo hear a slight noise from the motor but my son (who wakes up when fly lands on a leaf) has never complained about it...yet! Ha ha! Hopefully its not to loud for you! (And you like it!)
can you keep me updated? I wanna get one too but I don’t want to if it’s loud 😂
Jayson C it’s not loud at all
Jayson C from reading this I really thought it would be it’s honestly not an issue can hardly hear it if you’re close to it as it is
MCPHONEY thanks, yeah it’s awesome!
Can this fill up a warehouse type of building? I want this for my reception.
Get 2 and it would be plenty
The motor is loud and distracting. Laser lights are fine, however. But if you want to use this to put you to sleep, buy earplugs as well.
Ive not read all the comments - so apologies if this question has been asked (and answered). Are the green lasers safe (on the eyes) and if so how?
Thanks heaps
Hi there! Apologies about the late reply! I don't think your question has been asked so I shall answer away! :-) Unfortunately though the laser isn't safe to look directly into like with all lasers. So you may have to keep an eye on young children playing with it just in case! Don't worry it won't burn your eyes or anything like that but still can be harmful! A great gadget though! Are you thinking of getting one? Thankyou for watching and commenting too btw! Very much appreciated! :)
hello, i was wondering can it reach 5m Height and 10m wide? *sorry for my bad english*
Hi there, sorry about the late reply! I think in terms of height you should have no problem with the lasers. Can’t gurentee the blue nebular will be as vibrant however but personally I think you should still see it!
But as for 10m wide I think you May struggle to fill it as in the demonstration the room is about 3m wife and although it does project onto the walls as well as the ceiling I would say on total it can only cover up to about 5m in length.
Sorry I couldn’t be more precise as I don’t have anywhere large enough to test it for you!
Can you turn off the blue light and just have stars?
+1/liked/Subscribed! Is just in a normal room sitting on the floor/table & still looks good?
+Tony Schwartz Thankyou Tony! In regards to your question, as long as the room is dark enough then pretty much floor, table, chair, shelf or anywhere for that matter will still look good. We place ours on the floor pointing at the ceiling in the babys room and he (as well as us) love it!! Thankyou once again for watching and commenting! Very much appreciated!
Thank you for the review. Your accent is delightful to listen to.
I still don't like that you can't replace the bulb? I'm considering getting this thing but it only lasting a year might be a deal breaker for me
My green star lights have cut but it makes the sounds as if it is on? Been working fine for 2 months now
Gutted, that shouldnt be happening, did you get in touch with the manafactuer/seller?
It's weird, on my projector, neither the lights nor the nebula move - any ideas why?
Hi Samuel, hmm thats an odd one. Have you spoken to the place where you bought it from? It may just be a slight fault with a motor or something? I have read though that apparently there are lots of different types (possibly fakes) being made but flogged as the real deal. Some people have said theres only lasted a couple of weeks or that the stars dont move but the blue light does. Lots of different things. Let me know how you got on though! :-) I bought ours from findmeagift.co.uk if thats any help?
What about on a black ceiling?
I think the lasers would still show but no where near as bright than say on a light coloured ceiling, not sure about the blue nebular though!
Laser (Green) has gone dead on mine. Do you think it's fixable?
We have this exact model and our blue light still works but the stars' light is burnt out (got about a years worrh) Where can I get a replacement???!! Thx
Hi Mosses! Thanks for watcning! Unfortunately i dont think you can specifically get a replacement bulb/part if thats what you meant. I havent looked into specifically but would imagine it may cost more to fix than to actually replace the whole thing! If however you did just mean replacement for the entire thing then I actually got my model from findmeagift.co.uk. Hope that helps!! Ps.Aplogies about the late reply!
@Moses Mabarak Hi Moses, if you're still looking for a solution to this, I might be able to point you in the right direction, as I've been doing some research about this projector (or the previous version of it, to be exact) in order to sell a few of them on eBay. While looking at other sellers' listings, I came across this service (link below), "Laser Stars / Twilight Laser Repair - Laser Repair Service". Now, I've never used this service (and it's not the only one like it on eBay), so you'd be using it at your own risk! However, the seller I've linked has a 100% positive feedback rating with more than 1,500 ratings under their belt, so there's that. If you click the 'Services Desired' drop-down menu, you'll see they offer laser replacement, fan replacement, or both (US $29.99 for one or US $57.99 for both; that's £22.15 and £42.83 at the time of this comment). Their fee is a fraction of what it would cost to replace the whole contraption, and they say their turnaround is normally 1 - 2 weeks.

A little pricey for the complaints where it worked for less that 2 months for a lot of people.
To be honest I’m not sure why some of them don’t work for very long. Our one is STILL working! (It’s currently on as I write this)! But a lot of people have had a few problems. Not sure if there are a few fake ones going around maybe??? Thanks for watching and commenting by the way!! Much appreciated!! Hopefully going to do a simpler and quicker review to help everyone out soon! I feel this video is far to long and I talk far too much as well!!
wondering what opening angle this projection roughly has? I hope you understand what I mean. thinking about using the projector in a tent for a festival, but if the projection angle is only 90°, it won't be good enough. 180° would be perfect as it would fill the whole tend all the way to the bottom.
+huabamane2 Hi there, thankyou for watching and commenting! Apologies about the late reply! To be honest its a bit of an odd one, its definately more than 90 degrees but less than 180. So id say apossible 120-140 degree angle maybe? Of course thats just guestimating though! Sorry I couldnt be more precise but I can definately says its not 180. (But a lot more than 90!)
+mcphoney hi, thanks for the reply. Are you aware of any star projector that has a full 180° projection, even if he projection isn't as good quality. the key would be that it has to move.
+huabamane2 Well I have a little look around on the web and unfortunately it doesn't look like there is one available. The only thing that may be helpful is this
VIDEO HERE ruclips.net/video/aJy2um-asSs/видео.html
The video appears to show it filling up quite a lot of the space plus it is only cheap too!
I haven't actually got one or tested it myself though! Let me know your thoughts!
"good little investmen" .... WHAT????? 150€ for a lamp that you can not replace the bulb to!!!!! by the way a very good review and thanx for that .
Can the bulb be changed?
Not on this particular one I’m afraid, but I have seen a version an updated version on Amazon where the bulb could be changed.
I’ll be honest the one we/my son has that is featured in this video is still going after all these years!
its 2016 now is it still working?

I actually now have one of these in my university room. I spent the first two nights with everyone in the flat sort of congregated in my room under it :) oh, btw, mine only says on for two hours, so anyone buying it should probably expect either or.
Oh dear, it appears there are quite a few versions of this gadget flying around. Thankyou for letting us know, I wonder if anyone else has had this issue? I'm glad you are happy with it though! THANKYOU for watching too!! :-)
mcphoney Eh, well i got it from the same site as you so im not sure about the different versions theory. maybe the manufacturers just made some alterations since you got yours. and you are very welcome :)
+Jessica “Ghost” Emmas Yes, i think you are most probably correct on that one! The main thing is aslong as it does the job of entertaining us I suppose!! :-)
Nice video mate. I was debating between this product and Sega Homestar planetarium. They both look nice, but I think I'm going with Sega Homestar, just personal preference. Again, nice video and good info.
Bought one from Amazon did not last 2 weeks after it ran for 15 or 20 minutes it would show up as double images of the stars sometimes 3 or more images of the same stars upon looking at others reviews which I should have done before the purchase I found this to be an ongoing problem with other buyers as well boxed it up and sent it back to Amazon for a refund, it sure was beautiful tho for the short time it did work properly count your blessings yours has worked for 8 hours a night for a year.
Liked your review, caught both of them and I know my next question really has nothing to do with yourself but I'm hopeful.... Since I really want this product....
I'm in Australia... Any idea on how I can get one over hear that is genuine and can fit our electrical points? I've tried several of the U.K. Sites but getting no responses :(
Mine not working anymore 😭😭.light gren stars not working
I got this cool thing for over 3 years now and it still works perfectly. It 's very cool in a pitch dark room and if you have mirrors in your room it's even a better effect.
Awesome! Thanks SO much! LOVE this Star Light Projector! Can't wait to buy it!
Hi Alex. Great review, nice to see it up close and a good representation of the effects it produces.
Looking to get one for 4-year-old to use at bedtime, although not sure now because of the fan noise.
Do you happen to know how long the power cable is on it? I've currently got a lamp cable running behind a wardrobe and into the socket so it needs to be a decent length to reach.
Thanks in advance. 😀
Hi Lee, Thanks for watching and commenting! The actual cable length (approx) is 180cm or 185cm with the plug! Hope that helps! Also, when we first got this device my son was the lightest sleeper, (waking up about 8-9 times a night) however the fan didnt seem to bother him! Its difficult to explain how loud the actual fan is, although it can be heard its more like a very mild hum if thats makes sense so i personally think your 4 year old should be ok with it! Cant guarentee it but i honestly think they'll be fine! :-)
MCPHONEY Hi Alex, thanks for the super quick reply 😀. That's very helpful as I couldn't find the cable length anywhere online!
I have a regular Epson projector, would you think the sound from the fan on that is comparable?
No worries Lee! Im actually editing ANOTHER updated review for my new channel MCPHONEY TECH (which is coming in a couple of months) so you asked at the right time! Ha ha! As for the epson projector Im not too sure what the sound is like on that however from projectors ived used in the past (a long time ago) id say it was slightly louder. But only slightly! Maybe even the same? Ive just tried to take a sound reading of it so i could give you the exact decibel and it appears to come up at around 6db. The app i used was showing 20db in complete silence and went up to around 25-27db with the projector on. Not sure if that makes sense but hope it helps!!! :-)
MCPHONEY Ahh right, that does help. Thanks very much, and good luck with the new channel 😀
hello, thank you for your review, I want the product for my own room, not just for a baby hahah, but are you sure that the cloud is only blue? I mean, in both videos I see a clearly light purple in the center of the blue cloud. I see clearly the green dots, and the blue cloud, but I also see a bit of purple in the center, which just looks great.
Hi there! Thankyou for watching and commenting! Yes I'm afraid it definitely is just blue! I tried for ages to get he camera to show it as it is but the colour purple seems to keep slipping in there ha ha! But honestly its just a blue cloud and green stars. Are you on Twitter or Instagram? I'll take a picture and show you on there if that's any help? Just let me know! :-) (I'm on both Twitter/Instagram under mcphoney)
+Edenchase Audio I think you can try to stick purple film on center of flashlight and then get this effect :)
The star field seems to move quite fast. Can you adjust the speed? Also, can you have just a star field without nebula?
Hola! Soy de Chile y quería preguntar donde puedo comprarlo o en que página o si lo venden en E.E.U.U?
Por favor me ayudarías mucho respondiéndome, sueño con uno de esos🙏
any repair guide on this projector? only the purple light part flashes but the green light projector does not turn on at all.
amazing
It is a pretty cool little device and my kid still loves it! The blue nebular effect is starting to die a bit now however but its lasted over 4 years so cant complain!
Thank-you so much for the update. Can i ask a technical question.... Does it say on the unit anywhere what class of laser it has? I'm in Australia and we have some oppressive laws regarding what type of lasers you can bring into the country (brought in because of people pointing high powered lasers at airplanes). I have a nagging feeling these may be banned in Australia and you can only get knock off versions that have a downgraded laser and people say they are nowhere near as good. I will email FindMeAGift and see if they ship to Australia cause if they do i'm going to order one.
+dannymosquito Hi Danny, thankyou for watching and commenting! Glad the video was of some use! Gutted about the laser ban though! :-( However In regards to the class of the laser its a bit of a tricky one. Im mentioned it in the original video too because on the box and on the specifications (from the website) it is listed as a CLASS 1 laser however the sticker on the device itself labels it as a CLASS 2 laser.
ruclips.net/video/YwfdAsdqnJs/видео.htmlm31s (Here is the clip of the sticker)
But it does state that the maximum laser power output is 1mw which is usually quite safe so hopfullyl that will be ok to purchase in your country! :-) Hope that helps!
Let me know how you get on!
And thankyou for subscribing too - very much appreciated!!!
Great review! I am definitely buying this tomorrow in Dubai however and I am flying back to Malaysia two days later, I am scared to put it in the checked in luggage as it looks very fragile. Do you think the airport security will let me carry it as a hand luggage?
Hi there!! Thankyou for the kind words! Glad the review was of some use! :-)!!As for taking it on a plane i can't see there being a problem with it being in the hand luggage I think the main problem will be the size of it, especially if you keep it in the box. But if you are planning on keeping it in the box until you reach your destination I think it would be fine in your main luggage as it is wrapped quite well! Hope that makes sense! Plus our little one has knocked it over a few times and surprisingly it still works so they can take some knocks and bumps!! :-)
I love my laser cosmos, had this one since late 2009 my first one got stolen. It doesn't get used every night once every so often and it still works fine, also, my cats love it, I place it on the floor facing the long corridor and they charge up and down it chasing the dots.
Is this just for kids?
jamie campbell Hi there, thanks for watching! In regards to your question it doesn’t specifically say it is just for kids but personally I would say it is aimed for the younger ones! At the same time however it is a pretty awesome light effect so it’s probs for all ages!! Hope that makes sense!!
MCPHONEY thanks... I like to jerk off dressed as luke skywalker, so hopefully be good
+jamie campbell Well at least you are honest! Enjoy!
awesome! I'm considering buying one. however I keep reading reviews saying that it breaks after a few months. Have you had any problems with it? thank you :)
Hi there! Thankyou for watching and commenting! To be honest I've heard the same rumours as well but we have had ours a very long time and although we don't use it as much now, we did leave it on all night for the first 8-9months (maybe even longer) it's still working fine and dandy, even after the baby (now toddler) has knocked it over quite a few times too!!!
what is the exact brand amd model name of this product ? thank you
Hi Christophe, apologies about the late reply! To be honest I don’t think it actually says on the projector but I shall have a look for you tomorrow morning and let you know! Watch this space!
Hell once again, so on the actual device itself there is a sticker underneath which states the following:
2013 CAN YOU IMAGINE LASER TWILIGHT
MODEL NO. 5106
Hope that helps! :-)
thanks for getting back to me. he has had it about 19 months so well worth the money as used every night at bedtime. I will try shop see if they can help
Thank you for the excellent review ! Any idea how far from the ceiling this has to be ? We are thinking of putting this on a bedside bureau and were not sure whether it would still focus correctly. Many Thanks,
hi, I'm considering getting one but I heard you aren't supposed to use it for more than 4 hours. so it's dangerous to use & fall asleep? that kinda sucks.
+QuantomMusic Hi there! Thankyou for watching and commenting! To be honest we have (Well the baby has) been falling asleep to it for just over a year now and so far had no problems. And that includes turning it back on after it switches itself off. (Our baby is still frequently waking up so we are in his room most hours of the night) So id say its on at least 8hours per night with us! If you dont mind me asking did you read that warning somewhere or was it just word of mouth? Better be careful either way I suppose but it is defo worth getting! :-)
+MCPHONEY
The 4 hour warning is from the manufacturer. (In the instruction book that came with my unit)
longer than 4 hours at a time can overheat the laser, thus shortening the life of the laser according to the manual
My Unit was made before they came with a built in timer. So i have always had to plug my light into an external timer, and always have it on for 4 hours.
I've had this light about 5 years ago. (mine still works but the laser is dimmer than when it was new, and all but two of the blue leds have gone out (there are 6-8 blue leds inside)....
I used this light every night for 5 years, 4 hours a night (thats 7300 hours!!!)
and just recently has it started to show its age.
It still looks great, just not as bright as it used to be
100% worth the money, will be buying another very soon
+John Doe THANKYOU! That is definitely good to know! As you can see from other comments that a lot of people expect this gadget to only last around a couple of months at most! Now I can safely say that is defo worth the money! We've had ours on must nights for about 2years now I think and it still looks great so far! Has even survived many a hard knock by the little one too! Really appreciate you putting your comment on here tho! It's good to know about these things and not just have me saying it so honestly Thankyou! :-)
speak less and show more the product.
Just ordered one 😊
Happy days! Hope you are happy with it! Im still waiting for this one to break so I can buy another one and do an "updated review"!! Thanks for watching and commenting btw! Much appreciated!
mine stopped spinning. and its very noisy. It lasted maybe 2 years
Can you buy it in the United States???
Hi Sandi, it is now available from amazon! (Only took a few years)!! So Ive placed a link in the description! Let me know if that helps! :-)
like a dia projektor,,,,,same
hi does this rotate continually colin
Hi Colin, thanks for watching! Yes indeed the stars and nebula keeps rotating. The camera doesn’t give the display much justice I’m afraid - it looks better in real life! Anyhow hope that helped! Any further questions feel free to ask! 👌
Does this projector have a panoramic effect or just were it is projected?
i would buy this but it is $100
your soon going to get bored with that, maybe less talk and show us what it can actually do, because that didn't impress me..
MrMakjak001 I’ll be honest that’s pretty much all it does. It shines green stars with the option of a blue nebula effect too! Not really much else you can show considering 90% of the footage is the light in action, unless you have any ideas? Always value feedback you see! :-) Plus im planning on doing an updated review (like my cozmo one) so all help is much appreciated! Let me know! 👌
How much does it cost
I wonder how well it would work in a glass roof conservatory at night?
how can i get discs for it?
Wait how do you turn on the stars? Plz reply
Hi there, Thankyou for watching and commenting! There should be two switches, one for the stars which just is a push and click one and then a dial switch for the blue cloud! Let me know how you get on or if you have any further trouble! :-)
+mcphoney ok thank you so much!
Handsome Guy 👍🏼 and nice video. Can the stars be blue instead of green? I ask this because real life stars are white or blue, and I would like it to feel realistic. If you know of any new projectors like that please let us know!
Hi there! Thanks for watching! I’m sorry to say the stars can only be green as it’s a green laser! It’s still very awesome as well as relaxing!!
I’ve done a lot of research on other similar projectors but this one for the price seems the best. Others are just “slide projectors” that may create a nice effect but are far too expensive for what they are!! I nearly bought the “smithsonite” projector to review as that was quite popular but once again after reading other reviews, they weren’t too positive!! Sorry I couldn’t be more help!!
does the laser change color at all or is it just green
i love mine brilliant bit of kit although it does groan a little when first switched on but still works fine
How would this look in a dark room with the tv on???
+AcesOverCowboys Hi there! Thankyou for watching and commenting! To be honest I think it would still work really well! Although tvs do produce a lot of light and dont think it would be enough to outshine this! You wouldnt get the full effect but you still get a damn good one!
Thank you for your in depth review and answering everyone's questions. I was wondering what happens if you walk around in the room while the laser is on? Do the green stars show up on your body as you're moving around in the room?
+......oOo Hi there, yes indeed they do, its like when you walk in front of a projector, whatever is being shown appears on you! Of course your shadow wil lalso appear on whatever is behind you as well)! Hope that makes sense!!
Thank you very Much fothe review. great help in choosing.!!Cheers F16Rabbit
No probs! Glad it helped! Thankyou for watching and commenting too, very much appreciated!!! :-)
