Stock levels are extremely low, so you might have to wait a while to get your hands on one. There is a shooting star function, but this leaves a little to be desired, and we think it's an unnecessary add-on. There's no remote, app control, or in-built speaker, but these aren't functions you'll need if all you're doing is selecting your desired disk and switching the projector on to gaze at the stars. The operation is quiet, and there are three sleep timers for automatic shut-off.

The 5-Watt LED projects pin-sharp images across the whole projection, from edge to edge. It also comes in an attractive and robust box which would be a delight to give or receive as a gift, and one that can be saved and used as storage rather than heading straight for the recycling bin. It has a sleek and mature design with a high-quality satin black finish. It ships with two disks as standard, but with over 30 compatible disks available as additional add-ons, there's a greater level of exploration to be had than with other star projectors and home planetariums. Unlike many 'star projectors,' this model's main focus (no pun intended) is to project a realistic-looking, high-quality image of extraterrestrial subjects onto your wall or ceiling, often using real photos from various observation stations around the world. There isn't a 'top X star projector list' you'll come across without finding the Sega Toys Homestar Flux taking a podium position.
#SEGA HOMESTAR FLUX 4 FULL#
Read our full Orzorz Galaxy Lite Home Planetarium Star Projector Review.We've chosen to put this projector at the top of this list as it is much more affordable than the Sega Toys Homestar Flux, but we think it does the same job, making it much better value for money. There is one rotation speed which is slow and soothing - there's a little bit of noise from the motor but nothing that would be distracting, and better than many models we've tested. The disks also fit the Pococo Home Planetarium and vice versa, making the library of images to extend your collection even greater. The projector ships with four disks - Pillars of Creation, NGC 2359 (Thor's Helmet), the Moon, the Milky Way and the Earth and Moon (on one disk), but there's a whole catalog of others to choose from to purchase separately. You can even enjoy the projections in the daytime there's no need to be in total darkness. The colors produced by this projector are undoubtedly impressive - they are vivid and bright, and the images are incredibly sharp once focused.

It easily rivals the Sega Homestar Flux in terms of image quality and functionality and comes at a fraction of the cost.

We were really impressed with the Orzorz Galaxy Night Light when we reviewed it recently. For now, here are the best ones currently available on the market. We'll keep revising this list with new models as we come across and test them. We've scoured the market for the best models of star projectors and home planetariums, and we've noticed that over time, there's a growing competition of manufacturers bringing out newer versions with additional functionality and better quality and packaging. These are much more likened to the more traditional planetariums that teach astronomy and related sciences. Then there are scientific home planetariums that generally project 'real imagery,' so you can study and enjoy projections of real galaxies and nebulas from the comfort of your own home without investing in expensive astronomy equipment.

You've likely seen them at parties, in games rooms, in spas and so on. The models that tend to be more affordable are those that give you an immersive experience, to give the feel of being somewhere other-worldly, and the colors and patterns are loosely 'inspired' by space - nebulas, auroras and galaxies.
