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 (Blue 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 cloudThe 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 controlMy 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. 😂

I have bought 4 or 5 of these as gifts for others since getting my own. I’ve also convinced at least 10 others to do so as well (tbh this company should be paying me at this point lol) and the recipient is always satisfied thoroughly with the product lol! Everybody needs one of these things! They’re so relaxing and mindnumbing almost

The aurora borealis effect is very neat/pretty, and I like all 3 settings... but I'll return because I didn't like the square grid pattern of the lasers/stars--I'm looking for one with a random pattern that looks more like the night sky.

Use these in the main living area of our house. Used during rehab for broken ribs, as lying down in a bed was not possible. The subdued lighting was perfect for moving around late/early hours as sleep was only possible in a chair for short periods. Liked the effect so much that we bought several units and use them each night to compliment/enhance regular lighting.

I love this light. My home looks so pretty in the evening. Lots of color choices.

I've never come across such a "highly rated" device, that was complete a complete pain in the ass to get operating. I actually gave up on it and gave it a really bad review until I noticed something in the instruction guide. It was a familiar look and it took me just a second to realize that this is the same font and layout as Feit's products. I thought this company had given up on their product support. After having zero luck with the Bliss app itself and their instruction guides I started up my Bliss Evolve Cloud lights using the Feit app, not Bliss's. Voila, success! So this is the same company. American made my ass. Why do companies have to lie to us all the time. Not very logical or transparent but there you go. If anyone's having problems with their Bliss apps and products, use a Feit app instead. Now these lights do what they're supposed to do. Still in the downside is the lack of color, ultimate brightness and what you can actually do with them. They make cloud scenes., and somewhat very realistically too. They are definitely made to be used in pairs minimum. If they weren't so bloody expensive I would have bought two more because you actually need that many to fill up a whole ceiling or a room. You also have to know how to use your own mind to come up with how to program these things because there's not any instructions. It's fairly intuitive, once you learn how to add additional layers of color to the scenes section you can animate these and make them pulse slowly on and off or do whatever the controls do. I've stopped using the laser function of these lights ages ago because they're kind of annoying and never look that realistic. Also be aware that the actual image spread is small. The more you blow these up the less three-dimensional cloud effect is produced. Still it's an interesting product, like I said though I just wish it was cheaper. It's not worth the money for the one trick that it does. And one more thing, it says the base makes it so he can swivel these in any direction, blah blah, except you can't really unless you back it up with something because this device is heavily weighted on one side of it. So when you move it around it'll keep adjusting itself to this one position due to the weight of the engine itself. Although this is workable, it's still kind of a pain that this happens to an expensive product.
