BlissLights Sky Lite Evolve - Star Projector, Galaxy Projector, LED Nebula Lighting, WiFi App, for Meditation, Relaxation, Gaming Room, Home Theater, and Bedroom Night Light Gift (Green Stars)

I impulse purchased all three varieties of projector lights when they were on a Lightning Deal. I purchased with the intent of giving them to my kids for their room. However, after setting them up, I ended up keeping two out of the three because one arrived broken. I started off with the nebula cloud projector first then paired it up with the second projector with the blue stars. My first impression was mixed to be honest because of a few issues. 1. The size of the cloud The nebula cloud is quite beautiful and mesmerizing and really creates a serene ambiance. But I was a little disappointed with the size of it in relation the ceiling. It didn’t seem quite big enough to me at the time. I do not have huge ceilings either. After playing with the angles, I managed to get a more than adequate nebula cloud. Be sure to use a somewhat extreme angle, if you can get it to stay, which brings me to my next issue. 2. Housing material (angling and getting it to stay) The housing of the unit and the base it sits on is a smooth, matte plastic with no “grip” at all. When you try to angle the unit to project onto the ceiling it typically slips or moves, altering the angle you want. I found that using the foam inserts that come inside the box serves as a much better base due to the cut outs and the slight grip to it. I highly recommend keeping those! If you already threw them out perhaps try cutting some floral foam to create a base like the insert from the box. Alternatively, stick some double sided tape on the inside of the curve of the smooth base for some grip. The projector is also somewhat delicate, as one of the three I ordered arrived broken. The green star projector still turns on but the motor no longer rotates so the nebula cloud doesn’t “move” anymore. I highly suggest you avoid moving the projector too much or too often and definitely do NOT drop it. Find a good place and leave it alone. 3. App control My final issue has to do with the app. I read reviews so I had an idea of what to expect. You can either search on the App Store or scan the QR code on one of the flaps inside the box. Either way will work. Many users stated that they had problems either connecting the projector to the device or it took a while to respond. Others stated they had no problems at all. It seems to be hit or miss. I personally did not use the BlissHome app because I don’t want any more of my information spread around like confetti. Also, I happen to be a bit more in the camp of you shouldn’t NEED an app to control this thing. Yes, apps are cool but sometimes I feel like they are unnecessary as in this case. But that’s just my opinion. Anyway, I was a bit bummed that I wouldn’t be able to do other scenes and customization to the projector without the app. I seriously contemplated send them all back. That is, until I changed out some regular light bulbs for some Cree Lighting smart LED bulbs and set them up using my Cree Lighting app (that I already had and use). Lo and behold, the projectors popped up in the devices ready for pairing and set up!!! In the end, I was able to successfully pair both projectors (and some LED desk lights I’ve had for over a year now) using the Cree Lighting app without any issues at all. I can now control and customize both projectors and my desk lights. I can adjust brightness, colors, laser opacity, and set “scenes” that are included with the projectors and lights that I didn’t even know were included. My recommendation is if you don’t want to use the BlissHome app or give away your information yet again to the app developers, try another app you already have. You might be pleasantly surprised. If you don’t have an app that works then try the Cree Lighting app or LED Light Controller & Remote app. On a side note, once I was able to customize the settings inside the Cree Lighting app, I realized it wasn’t that much outside of just using the button on projector itself. Sure, I can adjust brightness and star opacity and set custom colors using the Cree app. But beyond that, you can still access the same “scenes” programmed in by simply pressing the button on the projector. Overall, I do like these projectors. The colors are quite beautiful and the laser stars really bring it to another level. The stars come in either blue or green. As stated before, I purchased both. For more contrast, I would suggest the green stars. For a more ethereal look, go with the blue. If you want more oomf to your nebula, then pair the nebula only projector with the cloud and star projector. Are they worth the price? Yes, but only if you are able to buy them on sale. I don’t think the regular price is justified considering they are somewhat fragile. I decided to set up both projectors (nebula only and nebula with blue stars) in the master bathroom to use during my shower instead of a candle. I also play some ambient music. Together, they really create a relaxing atmosphere akin my own private spa that helps relieve stress and unwind from the day. My husband also thinks they are pretty cool and requested one in the bedroom too. 😂

The Evolve was impressive right out of the box, and using the included app, you're able to get some beautiful effects projected on your ceiling or a wall. It might be great for a kids room or any space you want to add some ambience to. Physically, the device is a ball with a projector, laser, and a USB-C port for power. It includes a small USB-A brick and an A-to-C cable. The device loosely sits in a little plastic cup that allows it to be rotated to point the light wherever you want it. This is workable, but I wish I could tighten something to make it harder to move by accident. Pairing within the BlissHome app was fairly easy, although you're forced to pair the device with whatever network your phone is currently connected to, which made it slightly annoying since I had to put this on an IoT network, as it didn't seem to work with WPA3. The BlissHome app (or Tuya Smart) allows you to control many aspects of the light, including: - Laser brightness - Rotation speed - Blue, red, turquoise, and white LED brightness. (It's not quite the typical RGB colors) You can also create different presets within the app to easily switch between your favourite looks. I got the version with the green laser. At full power, the laser projects a regular pattern of ultra-bright dots that looks quite unnatural and harsh. However, dial this down between 5-10%, and you get a much more pleasing effect that (sort of) looks like stars... if stars were green. The spinning effect gives an almost psychedelic, watery effect that is very pretty. You can slow down the spinning, but this does cause a very slight, high-pitched whine from the unit, so if you're sensitive to noise and want a completely silent unit, I recommend leaving the motor at full speed or completely off for the quietest operation. (Granted, without the motion, you lose some of what makes the effect so cool.) I'm a HomeKit user, and I wanted to be able to control this device with Siri, but unfortunately, there's no support for HomeKit or Matter out of the box. You can use Alexa and Google Home, but this is much less useful for me. Fortunately, I was able to hack together on/off and partial dimming support via HomeKit by pairing this light with the Tuya Smart app (instead of the BlissHome app). The Tuya Smart app enables virtually the same UI and features as BlissHome and adds the benefit of being able to use Tuya's developer API to control the unit, which then allows you to set it up in HomeBridge with the Tuya plugin. This is an awful lot of work just to be able to use Siri to turn the thing on and off (I'm also able to adjust the brightness of the white part of the light in HomeKit, but nothing else). At least it's possible to get this working if you're nerd enough to jump through all those hoops! Hopefully, a future version will allow for Matter support, which should make this much easier. I really like this light. It's a brilliant little product that is inexpensive and can add some fun, soothing effects to a dark room. If you like cool lighting, you'll have fun with this product.

The BlissLights Sky Lite Evolve is amazing for creating a chill, dreamy vibe in any room. The projections are super vivid and cover a lot of space, and the variety of colors and patterns makes it fun to customize. It’s perfect for relaxing, gaming, or just adding some atmosphere to your space. It connects to Wi-Fi seamlessly, and the app makes it really easy to tweak settings and customize the lighting without having to get up. The only issue is that it moves around too easily. A small nudge, and you’ll lose that perfect setup. A sturdier base would’ve been amazing. Still, the quality of the lights and the flawless Wi-Fi connectivity make it a solid choice.

I originally purchased a different galaxy projector and wish I had found this one instead! The galaxy projection and the different colours you can apply is absolutely beautiful! Much more “natural” than the other product I purchased. The stars are green, which can be turned off or lowered in brightness. The motion can be slowed down or stopped completely. The timer can be set to anything you want, and you can see a countdown on the app (genius!!!). You can also set schedules, we have our son 4 nights a week - so I set it from 730pm on those days for 12hrs. You can change the themes off the little button attached to the cord however, I recommend downloading the app It’s much more convenient and easy that way, and you can only change the settings, add a timer or schedule through the app (Note there is no remote control). Without the app it turns off after 6hrs. The main unit which projects is round like a ball, and sits on a little platform which allows you to turn and set to where you want the projection to be. No white noise or Bluetooth for audio available, but you can connect it to your Alexa or Google home. Lastly, it didn’t come with a manual but it was easy to find on their website. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! It was so hard to find one that didn’t auto shut off after 2-4hrs! Our toddler would wake up when the light shut off - this is going to be life changing, for him and us! More sleep, woooo!

A mi hija le encantó! La forma en cómo proyecta y sus niveles de luz simplemente espectaculares. La tenemos ya por más de un año y todo funciona ok
