Lilo & Stitch Galaxy Projection Light: What is it?
Night lights are fairly common in kids’ rooms, but this one adds a little extra pizzazz. Featuring the little alien Stitch in his tiny space helmet, perched on top of a purple planet, the projector charges via USB and comes with a remote control to adjust the settings.
Rather than just giving a gentle glow, the Lilo & Stitch projection light transforms part of the ceiling into a swirling galaxy of colour. You can adjust the brightness to suit the room and choose a single static colour in mood light mode, or colours that phase in galaxy projection mode.
What other features does it have?
If a fast-flowing galaxy feels overstimulating, you can slow the speed to a gentle swirl to create a relaxed atmosphere. You can do this using the remote control or the buttons on the projector body.
There are a few different phasing colours to choose from, with pinks, reds and purples, or blues, yellows and greens taking centre stage. The static mood light only seems to be available in red, which is a bit of a shame, although you can stop the galaxy mood using the speed controls so that it effectively becomes mood light.
The projector sits on a small, shallow stand that keeps it relatively steady and pointed at either the wall or the ceiling. The minor downside is that it rests only on the stand and can be knocked or moved with little resistance. If you’re using the projector in a room with younger children, it’s best placed on a shelf, out of easy reach.
The gently moving colours can help calm little minds, lulling them to sleep with each swirl, but you might not want to leave them running overnight. Using the buttons on the remote control or the unit, you can select either the one-hour or two-hour options, which will automatically turn the unit off after the time has elapsed.
How effective is it?
The Lilo & Stitch Galaxy Projection Light does a decent job of projecting the swirling galaxies, even in a room that isn’t pitch dark. The projection area isn’t vast, and you have to compromise between projection strength and coverage area, carefully positioning it to get the best result possible.
Once you set it up and choose the colours you want to see, the simple revolving display looks very effective and adds a touch of colour and magic to bedtime.
Lilo & Stitch Galaxy Projection Light: The Verdict
Finding a night light that provides enough light to be comforting, but also enough interest to keep toddlers in their beds can be tricky, but the Lilo & Stitch Galaxy Projection Light does a good job of both.
It is slightly flawed, though. The USB charging port is quite high on the rather lightweight sphere, so the cable’s weight unbalances it and tips it backwards. If the stand were permanently connected, things would be more stable with or without the cable attached, and kids would be less likely to accidentally dislodge it.
Another issue is that the projector doesn’t work while it’s charging. With a reasonably short battery life, this means that you can’t leave it working throughout the night. It works well for a few hours while they drop off to sleep, but if you want longer than that, this one isn’t for you.
The playful projector is more suited to younger children, but as it’s currently available for under £20, it’s a small investment that will bring plenty of joy, even if only for a reasonably short while.
