I first tried the Astrol Light in my living room by placing it towards the back of my coffee table which sits in between my sofa and chair, but the sofa arms blocked off a lot of the light. Placement is absolutely key to getting the best effect. They’re not lying, however, just maybe exaggerating, which is exactly what adverts are supposed to do. Well, it comes pretty close to what’s being demonstrated in their adverts, but there was still something to be desired by the effect it gave. I haven’t got the Amazon Alexa infrastructure in my home, I am a Google Home guy, so again, hooking the projector up to my WiFi, for this reason, was pointless.īut this is a galaxy projector after all, and I suppose we need to talk about the actual projection effect. Doing so though does mean you can control the light with Amazon Alexa. There is also a partner app, but it didn’t seem to feature anything else that you couldn’t achieve with the buttons on the side, so I didn’t bother hooking up the light to my home WiFi. Proper buttons or even centred buttons would have worked best I think. It’s ridiculous really, especially as they’re around the outside of the device. The lightest of touches will have your settings changed or powered off. Every time I wanted to move the light, I turned it off, or switched colour or turned the stars off. The buttons are touch-sensitive, and when I say sensitive, I mean sensitive.

And why would you want to do that? It reacts to each and every tiny bit of music it hears and it’s just ridiculous. Do not use this setting unless you want to give yourself a headache. The fourth is for sound activation, which when used with music, turns it into a strobe effect which is absolutely hideous. The third cycle through different modes, like turning the moon on and off, turning the star effect on and off and breathing the stars in and out, or turning the colour waves on and off. Second cycles through all of the different colours available. To run through the buttons on the side of my projector here, the top button is for power. It’s just a plain box that doesn’t reflect the box shown on the website whatsoever. There’s also no indication from the box if I have the original version or the wireless version either. It’s powered via micro USB and says it has a 2,000mAh battery on the Astrol website, but mine here doesn’t charge or seem to be charging, and there’s no indicator light telling me it’s receiving a charge from a power source. It’s made from plastic and unfortunately, has a very cheap feel to it, like if it gets knocked off the side, it’s definitely going to break kind of feeling. It’s not very big, has a bulb on top and touch buttons around the circumference of the right-hand side. Let’s start by taking a look at the projector itself and its functionality.
