Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We bought this and the much cheaper BlissLights Sky Lite - Laser Projector w/LED Nebula Cloud for Game Rooms, Home Theatre, or Night Light Ambiance to compare. The BlissLights lights are much more powerful and the coverage that you get versus this one when you put both of them in the same spot spans a larger area. It covers our ceiling and walls easily and really makes you feel enveloped. The BlissLights one is much easier to turn on and off and has more features (two different kinds and colors of lights, different brightnesses and combinations, etc). My problem with the BlissLights is that it’s a blue nebula cloud and green stars. I want something more realistic. The Sega is hard to turn on (you basically have to move it every time to get to the switch so you’re constantly readjusting the stars which you don’t want to do every time and the laser is much weaker. There’s something almost analog about it - there are some “stars” that just look like giant white blobs and it doesn’t have the same magical feel that the thousands of teeny laser points do with the BlissLights. There’s a tray to hold two different options of stars - a plain version and one with the constellations which looks almost like a joke but I guess if you’re trying to learn the constellations it would be helpful. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to lay under that slide consistently. It also covers a much smaller area and is just a circle on our ceiling instead of falling all over our ceiling and walls. I put it on the floor and it gets wider that way, but no one wants this in the middle of the floor, and it hits the furniture and gets blocked off by it in areas. The BlissLights one gives us full coverage from a table. It seems like in order to have a truly great product these two should be combined. It’s been so hard to find just white stars, so for now we’ll use this Sega one, but it’s not a home run. Something tells me commercial event planners have a perfect machine for this and we’re just getting the low-fi retails versions.
