If you don't set a timer, the device will power off after four hours, regardless. The sleep timer on the device can be set for 15, 30 or 60 minutes, giving peace of mind for an automatic shut off after you fall asleep or leave the house. The Sega Homestar Flux is powered using a USB cable, giving you the flexibility to power it from any USB device, such as a laptop or power bank, instead of having to rely on a wall socket. LED lights tell the user which function is in operation.
The projector is controlled by using the buttons on the device. In terms of a star projector with an excellent build quality which gives a high level of scientific accuracy - depending on the disc used - this is true. Given this is one of the most expensive home star projectors on the market, you'd expect the quality and performance of the product to also be one of the best. The 5-Watt LED will let you see the projection of the stars even in the daytime or with the lights on, but as with all projections, it's best in a completely dark room. Just imagine you're in a dark sky area without any light pollution and a telescope with the widest field of view possible, and that is what you can see on your ceiling. The projection is astonishingly clear and vivid (once focused), almost to the point of looking 'too sharp' to look like the real night sky. When turned on, you can only hear the faintest whir when in an otherwise silent room we actually found this quite soothing in itself. We were pleased to find this is indeed the case. If you've already done some research into this home planetarium, you'll have likely read how quiet the motor is when in operation. The projections are clear and bright, even in the daytime, though as with all star projectors, they are more impressive in the dark. You cant pivot the sphere horizontally, but of course, you can just turn the stand around to face the direction you want. The stand can be positioned at any angle with the sphere able to pivot 360 degrees. One turns the device on, one activates the timer, one is to decide the rotation direction and one activates the so-called 'shooting star.' That said, there are only four of them so you'll quickly get used to it as we did. The focus ring lets you sharpen the stars on the projection surface, as this will differ depending on the position of the projector and the distance from the device to your ceiling.Īlthough the Homestar Flux is often marketed as having illuminated buttons, which sounds useful, it is a little LED next to the buttons that illuminate rather than their labels, so you still need to remember which does what function. Choose a disc (there are two provided), and plug it into the power. There's really no need to read the instructions to know how the device operates. Everything about the projector seems intuitive.
