@sammydog01 I had to look at them a couple of tines to spot the difference, and was only able to spot it in one photo. SideDeal has tiny green stars. I prefer the blue one.
@OnionSoup I’m probably not going to either, but I’m quite tempted… does anyone want to get an extra one now and ship it to me if I change my mind later?
@lime24 Maybe I’m misunderstanding what this thing is for, but the person in the yoga photo seems to have their eyes closed, so wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of using this device?
I have one of these and I like it. The effect is cool itself, but then I quickly realized it makes an effective night light. For only a few watts of power, it bounces just enough light off the ceiling that I can see in the room at night without having to turn on any other lights.
Edit: I have the one that does green stars on a blue nebula, which is my preference. It’s the original, non-2.0 version that doesn’t do RGB, but it’s great as-is.
@ParadisePete Weird electronic crap like this always have bot reviews.
Fakespot puts it at a ‘D’. If you look at the review history, there is a huge spike of reviews from like 4000 reviews to 50,000 before they were evidently removed by Amazon.
I got my associate degree in Rock Springs! Fun facts- the college is right on an I-80 exit, it’s free to visit and all indoors! (Cuz winter is cold and windy). You can see dinosaurs (including a T-Rex) and one of the few focault pendulums!!!
@autobahnsho Are colleges sometimes not free to visit? (Serious question – I went to a huge university and anyone could visit any time, as best I could tell…)
@haydesigner Oh, wow. I hadn’t thought about that. The campus I went to was like a thousand buildings connected by roads and sidewalks, so hard (impossible?) to “close”. Curious, in “closed” campuses, do they require student badges to be displayed at all times or something?
@andymand@autobahnsho@haydesigner The building in downtown Los Angeles that was used as the exterior set for the FBI building in the TV series “Numbers” is (and was already then) a university campus that requires everyone to have a badge for entry. There are reasons why they have to enforce this.
@autobahnsho@werehatrack Thank you both for educating me about this. I’m curious if “entry” is the operative word here. Like if a Coca-Cola deliveryperson is pulling their cart on a campus sidewalk, must they have to have obtained a temporary badge from Security or something?
@andymand In my days as a sales rep visiting petrochem plants, I had a pocket full of ID badges proclaiming that I was a Visitor but with my mug shot, employer name, and sometimes a bar code that contained data for the gate guard to scan in. Beverage distributors will typically have a specific driver assigned to such facilities, and they might have a badge that they simply keep and use - possibly several times per week. My badges were plant-specific. A badge from the Dow plant in Freeport was not good at the Dow plant in LaPorte, for instance. When I left that job, all of those badges got turned in on my last exit.
The app uses Bluetooth Mesh technology, which uses the location function to sense and connect to your light when it is in range. The app cannot connect without location enabled.
Finally, we have the technology to detect whether or not a radio signal exists.
I don’t see any pictures of the blue laser? On all of the retailers listed it’s only the green dots. Does anybody have a picture of the blue one? The human eye does not see the color blue very well, so I wonder how bright it really is. Also, how much blue light does it really produce and would it affect sleep?
@qazxto The blue dots would be somewhat annoying for me. I have an unusual visual peculiarity; if I look directly at a very small blue light emission, I may not be able to see it; if I slide the focus point to one side, it’s visible.
I was considering buying this, but then you mentioned wings and beer… and now I’m thinking I might get more utility from sipping a frosty cold one whilst dining on the wings of the buffalo…
@radi0j0hn A: I have ADHD. I should be offended but do you like ice cream?
B: They made a brief comeback a few years ago, but faded into “you can still buy them on Amazon” obscurity.
I really don’t love the app. The version that I have also requires internet access and I hate it. Aliexpress the version that works off a remote instead. I wish I had.
Kinda disappointed. App not available on newer android versions, and after about 3 hours of use the rotate has just stopped working altogether. I knew there was a chance to get something that wouldn’t last too long, but this is a bit ridiculous.
Dang, my order hasn’t processed yet, but the last three comments in this thread are customers disappointed in the device. I bought 4 of them, so it sounds like quadruple the disappointment for me.
@jjnova temper your expectations. Considering the price, it was never going to be amazing. A good one of these start at 70 if you’re lucky.
Mine has moved into my little one’s room in place of her night light and she loves it. Also, she uses an older model Samsung as her phone (in case she loses it) and the app runs fine on that phone, letting her decide what starfield to sleep to and includes a great timer function. Its insane they didnt update the app considering the ton of customization available but you can find a way to use it. About half of the customization can be done via pushing the buttons on the device too.
Run for two nights now and i have a very happy little one. Wasnt the purpose i bought it for but if it makes her happy, it’s worth it.
App can be force installed to newer Android versions, but I’m so far unable to get it to connect. I can get it paired, but I can’t get the app to actually connect.
So, without the app it can’t remember it’s settings between runs, and it has a 6 hour runtime limit.
Manufacturer has abandoned this version of the app for a newer app from them, but it doesn’t support this device. I hate manufacturers that do this bullcrap.
@dave Very happy with this thing for the price, and kudos to customer support for adding the APK for the older app to the description! Good feels all around. (I’ve left little reviews in a couple threads.)
Well I got it, but unfortunately I can’t control it with my phone. All I can do is turn it on. the laser off button doesn’t turn off the laser either. The Android app is to old and doesn’t work on newer phones. They sent me the old app abut it wont connect to the light no matter what I try. I even stood on my head and barked at the moon and it didn’t help. I am sad an waiting for some kind of update.

Would this work in a trunk?
@yakkoTDI only if you remove the body first
@ricks48038 @yakkoTDI Oh, it comes with a body? I didn’t see that in the specs.
Is that what they’re describing as “1x Power supply”?
@ricks48038 @xobzoo @yakkoTDI The body is for your viewing pleasure only. It is a ghost. It’s the star of the show. It will, however, light up your life.
There are too many stars to fit the blue ones and green ones into a single sale – or even onto a single website!
@Rowsdower only one deal a day!
@medz Said deal often includes multiple varieties as options, but this works too. Anything is better than what Amazon did to Woot.
The photos are the same for both blue and green stars- is the gaming chair showing the green one?
@sammydog01 I had to look at them a couple of tines to spot the difference, and was only able to spot it in one photo. SideDeal has tiny green stars. I prefer the blue one.
@sammydog01 Nope. I’m wrong. Compared photos side by side. They are the same.
@sammydog01 I looked at a couple of video reviews on Amazon and they show the stars pretty well.
I agree with @MarkML that the blue ones look better. Edit: Oh - hah, you changed that - but I did think they look better in the videos.
Oh no, I’m not falling for that one again… keep your little happy pills for yourself buddy
@awk
/youtube don’t bogart that joint
Yeah. I think I want the plate of wings and the beer…
@shahnm You can have the beer, I’ll just take some wings.
@werehatrack I accept your terms.
I had one of these with black lights. Or maybe it was just broken.
Can you do the stars without the nebula? Anyone know?
@ChompyGator from an amazon review:
" You can change the projection to dots, nebula, nebula with dots, or moving nebula."
@Flamel Thank you!
/giphy sunken-roomy-trout
the most fun you can have with dense fog & an extension cord.
Oh, that’s cool. Not going to buy it, but it’s cool and different.
@OnionSoup I’m probably not going to either, but I’m quite tempted… does anyone want to get an extra one now and ship it to me if I change my mind later?
@agnesnutter @OnionSoup Later you will find the unsold ones on sidedeal or morningsave I am sure. Or if you get lucky in an irk.
Lasers AND blue light? Two of my favorite things! I’m in.

I have one of these, except instead of a boring disk, it’s an exciting astronaut.

Many of those 5* Amazon reviews are sus, as the kids say. Do they still say that?

@autobahnsho I visited Rock Springs for a week in June this year. I live on the east coast, so it was funny to see it in the writeup!
@autobahnsho Are colleges sometimes not free to visit? (Serious question – I went to a huge university and anyone could visit any time, as best I could tell…)
@andymand some colleges have closed campuses. This has increased a bit with all the nonstop gun violence.
@haydesigner Oh, wow. I hadn’t thought about that. The campus I went to was like a thousand buildings connected by roads and sidewalks, so hard (impossible?) to “close”. Curious, in “closed” campuses, do they require student badges to be displayed at all times or something?
@andymand @haydesigner probably. I teach at a building in Georgia which has multiple businesses and colleges in it- everyone has to wear a badge.

Meh. My kid just made one of these (minus the laser dots) from her latest CrunchLabs box. Looks cool for a few minutes but gets boring quick.
@Turken kid should make it better next time. This one is built by professionals and is likely of higher quality.
@Turken I love the Crunch Labs boxes! We buy em for the library my spouse works in. So fun!

“Stars” - if you think stars appear in a perfectly square grid pattern.
Also: blue lights for sleeping? lolololol - good luck with that.
@Pufferfishy The photos I saw were nonsquare but pretty clearly repeating, which may be slightly less OCD-triggering for some.
SideDeal the same as the Meh!?! As my mom would say…“That’s just pure laziness.” Shame on you.
@ckcarlton Not exactly the same. One has green lights. Other has blue lights. BLUUUE lights.
Elebator go down the hole.

Very disappointed that the Blisslights Bluetooth app doesn’t work with Android 13.

Can’t use the app, and it won’t sync to Bluetooth.

@customers We’ve got the BlissLights up on Meh today - it’s been great seeing all the reviews coming in from when you all got yours. Chime in if you haven’t! And grab another one while they last.
@dave Very happy with this thing for the price, and kudos to customer support for adding the APK for the older app to the description! Good feels all around. (I’ve left little reviews in a couple threads.)
Well I got it, but unfortunately I can’t control it with my phone. All I can do is turn it on. the laser off button doesn’t turn off the laser either.
