Govee Star Projector, Star Light with 8 Replaceable Discs, 38 Scene Modes, Bluetooth Speaker and 21 White Noises, Relaxing Light for Bedroom, Ceiling

Ok so this thing is FANTASTIC. Here is the thing: I have a ton of cheap galaxy projectors that I love that are super colorful and bright and I actually use them during the day around my house. This projector is completely different, and the people leaving bad reviews saying it isn’t bright enough are probably comparing it to the brighter/cheaper lights. Those are SO much brighter than this one, and that is the reason I can’t actually sleep with any of them! This projector is VERY difficult to see during the day, BUT it is phenomenal at night in a dark bedroom. If you want a beautiful projector that isn’t going to disturb your sleep, this is the one. I normally can’t sleep with any light in the room and this one doesn’t bother me at all. I also tend to wake up very anxious in the middle of the night, and this light is calming. (it only stays on for about 2 hours at a time, but I turn it back on)

I saw so many negative reviews I was skeptical. I already owned two "cheap" projectors, one that's just auras and one that has changeable discs. They were around $30 each. At $180 I never would have pulled the trigger and now that I have it I still would not justify $180. In my opinion Govee is getting a little carried away with their pricing. I love Govee. Have MANY products. But I think they're newest marketing strategy is simply "let's see what people will pay!!"That being said, I got this on sale and also had some gift card remaining and got it for $120 out-of-pocket. I still feel like that's a little high. I think this would be fairly priced at $100-$110.It's much bigger than expected and as other reviewers have said it's solid. Does not feel cheap. Very well constructed. Comes with 8 changeable discs in a little booklet with a cloth to clean them. I would not consider this a child's toy. I could see how a child could easily damage the discs. They aren't super-easy to get out of the booklet and require some precision to get in and out of the projector insert. So take your time. Be careful and it should be fine.The brightness is fine. So many reviews complaining. If there are other lights on in the room, yes it's hard to see. That's how light works. In a dark room its perfectly bright and the images are sharp. No focusing necessary (or possible, for that matter). I'm hoping they come out with an "expansion pack" of discs. The options/possibilities are pretty infinite. Are you listening Govee?? We'll see.The "white noise" choices available in the app are pretty neat (again, would love to see more added in updates in the future) and I'm sure that's part of what is pushing the price up as well as the bluetooth speaker. The app is great. So much control and customization. You can set schedules, timers, routines. Voice control with Alexa is also fantastic. If you have anything Govee you should already be familiar with the app. I really don't plan on ever using the speaker as an actual music speaker but to be able to connect and play additional "sleep sounds" not available in the app is a great option to have.My biggest negative (and this is all "star projectors, not just this one) is that the actual stars are always so disappointing. I always turn them off. They just look like colored dots on the ceiling and in no way resemble stars. These are blue. And there is some functionality/customization you can do through the app for different effects but I just turn 'em off. Makes the projection too busy. That's purely an opinion.Overall I absolutely love this thing and have zero regrets. If you can get it on sale/discount and you're into this type of thing, do it. If you're gifting this to a kid, get something cheaper unless you plan on supervising/assisting. You'll just be throwing away money.

I wanted this and thought it would be cool. I think that perhaps if it had been one third of its cost, it would have been worth it.Unfortunately, it's a complete waste of money. The starfeild is cool but underpowered. Then they ruin it by adding a light that washes it out and silly sounds that make it seem suitable for children (it's not).I popped a few of the glass disc's in played with it and the reality is that it's only suitable for a pitch black dark room. Even trying to watch TV washes the effect out.It's going back I usually like govee but this is a toy for children but you can't give it to them fe abuse ut uses a dangerous laser.Lastly, the ceiling in our master br has a ledge, I thought it wojld be cool to put it up there shooting onto the cathedral ceiling. However, it doesn't do well shooting onto an angled surface. It appears it's meant to shoot onto a perfectly flat surface otherwise half of it is going to be stretched and out of focus.

I've been a fan of Govee products for a while now, and my Bliss Light has been a great addition to my home. Hoping for an even more immersive experience, I decided to try the Govee projector. Unfortunately, it fell far short of my expectations.The Nebula:The biggest letdown was the nebula effect. Unlike the Bliss Light or even cheaper alternatives, the Govee projector uses image discs that are barely visible. The images are dim and lack the vibrancy I was hoping for. To make matters worse, these discs apparently have a limited lifespan and aren't meant for extended use. This feels like a cheap workaround for a truly dynamic nebula effect.Stars and Brightness:The stars projected by the Govee are also underwhelming. Even in a completely dark room, they lack the brilliance and clarity of my Bliss Light. It feels like a significant downgrade in terms of overall brightness and immersion.Unexpected Plus:One positive surprise was the ambient floodlight feature. It provides a nice, even glow that I actually wish my Bliss Light had. This is a nice touch for setting the mood or using the projector as a general room light.App and Connectivity:The Govee app is a definite improvement over the Bliss Light's app. It integrates seamlessly with the rest of my Govee ecosystem, offering more control and customization options.Unnecessary Speaker:Like many other Govee products, the projector includes a built-in Bluetooth speaker. This feels completely unnecessary, especially considering the price point. I already have dedicated speakers throughout my home, and I doubt I'll ever use the one included in the projector. It's a feature that adds to the cost without adding much value.Final Verdict:Overall, I'm extremely disappointed with the Govee projector. It's overpriced for what it offers, and the nebula effect is a major letdown compared to the Bliss Light. I'll be returning it and sticking with my Bliss Light for now.
