*One correction: I noted you couldn't play your own music through this device, but in fact you can! You can connect with it over Bluetooth and stream your own music.
Govee's latest product is nothing like anything it's released before. The Galaxy Light Projector Pro (wow what a name) brings the stars into your home... planetarium style.

Thanks for the review. I do have a criticism for the format. The video seems like it's 4% showing us what the projector can do, and 96% you showing us you holding the unplugged projector as you talk about it. Couldn't you just talk about it while showing us more of what the projector can do.
Hey, thanks for watching! I agree entirely, actually. And it's something I'm going to try to balance better in future videos. I had a LOT of trouble getting good video of the star projections... but I went back and gave it another go.
Here's a short I made showing all the discs in action:

Thanks for the review! Grabbed one of these off amazon today!
Glad to hear it! It's a great little device. Would love it if you subscribed to the channel too (if you haven't already).
Really wish you would have done a section just showing off all the scenes while you were talking in the background
Hello again! I managed to get all of the discs filmed and posted a video here for you:

@@anoraker thanks you ill check it out now
Very interesting. I'd like to see a future version with more volume control, and maybe one day a projector that can connect to your phone or one that has educational disc's for the kids who want to learn about constellations and planets etc..... Cool start though! Thanks for the review it was very helpful.
That's a great idea! Thanks for watching!
Hey, thanks for the review! Is it possible to turn the stars white instead of blue? I'm looking for a laser galaxy light that doesn't have a too artificial look to it, most times the stars are weirfly blue... Do you have any recommendationsor white stars or is this just a disc thing? Thank you :)
Unfortunately, no, you can't adjust any of the colors. I think some manufacturers say they go with green or blue stars because it helps with moods... but I'm pretty sure it's just cheaper/easier than white.
Is it Dreamview compatible?
Great review, and thank you for your time. I got tinnitus and would be a great marketing advice to add rain and crickets sounds or pink noise ect maybe they could definitely lower the volume with updates
Yeah, I think it's probably a bit too loud for that. It's not much for crickets, but it does have some rain noises.
@@anoraker thank you for getting back to me great review i must take time to like and watch more of your blogs
2 hours? Im looking to use this as my kids night light, can it stay on longer than 2 hours?
By default it turns off after 2 hours. You can either extend this to four hours, or turn the auto-off function entirely. So yes, you could use this as a night light. Just be aware, as with all products like this, that'll cause the discs to fade faster.
How bright is this thing? Especially with other rgb lights on
In a dark room, it's plenty bright. However, with the lights on, you won't see anything at all.
You can adjust both the brightness of the "planets" and the "stars" individually to your preference.
Are the moving stars supposed to be blue or white? They appear white in the video. The govee I have seems to only have blue stars. Just trying to check if this is normal, since they seem white in videos.
Hello! Sorry for the confusion here. It's hard to record dark images like this and retain perfect color accuracy. The stars are blue in real life, but show up white in video.
@@anoraker thank you for the information. Your review was very comprehensive and otherwise gave me an excellent idea of what to expect. I bought it for my wife and she loves it. Your review tipped me in favor of this over more accurate (and expensive)home planetariums despite the shortcomings as it is more dynamic and not just a one trick pony.
@@MrMotopsyco69 That's so great to hear! Thank you very much for the feedback!
Thanks for reviewing. I'd like to know how this compares to the pococo
That's a tough question! The Pococo is less expensive, but comes with fewer discs (just 1 to Govee's 8). However, it has a lot more discs to buy (6 packs are $40 and there's half a dozen options). It's also battery powered, so more portable than Govee's. However, on paper it has a less powerful white wattage and fewer lamp beads. It also doesn't do music of any kind or have app control... meaning you can't control brightness or rotation speed.
I'd say the Govee is better for choosing how things are displayed and getting a more complete package out of the box. The Pococo is better if you care more about having as many display options as possible... if you don't mind spending more in the long run.
I like Govee and might go with it even though it is more expensive.
I’d like to see more videos of what the actual scenes look like. You mention that some are OK, but you didn’t sounds too impressed by them
@@thespencerowen It very much depends on the room. Some of the discs actually work better in smaller rooms. The tent photos I took, for instance, those discs look better in tent than they do in living room. The planets and moons are the opposite, look better in larger room than smaller spaces.
Are Pococo disks are compatible with this Govee projector ? Thanks
I don't have any to try, but from what I can see of the Pococo disks I don't think they are compatible. They appear to be a different size , and they image is a different shape too.
Here's a short showing all the discs!

Why will the discs fade?
They are essentially a picture. The more you expose a picture to light, the more it will fade over time (paintings too). And the specific purpose here is to shine a very bright light through the pictures.
The discs are advertised as replaceable.
Well, to note, it's advertised as having "8 replaceable discs." As in, you can take one out and replace it with another.
Govee doesn't currently sell other discs.
Govee gets all my money😂
Boy I know that feeling! I dropped more money to extend my Govee permanent outdoor lights.
Good to know they fade, based on that don't think I'd purchase, why don't they just make something that projects small video files, surely could have so much more possibilities rather then archaic discs
Received mine today. Stars are awesome but unless you have a monster size room the projector cards are not great. Sending mine back as not worth the money for just stars. Gutted 😔
Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that! It worked pretty well in small rooms for me, even in a tent for that matter (though that really pushed it if I'm being honest).
But yes, like all star projectors, larger rooms are better.
ถ้าราคาเเพงไป ผมว่าซื้อ โปรเจกเตอร์พกพา ขนาดเล็กราคาไม่เเพงสักอันเชื่อมต่อกับ youtube เป็นภาพเคลือนไหว ดีกว่านะ ใช้ได้หลากหลายกว่าจะดูหนังฟังเพลงได้มากกว่าคุ้มราคากว่า ผมว่า
นั่นเป็นความคิดที่ยอดเยี่ยม
i got my bliss lights 1 for 30$ and it has app control mind you it only has red blue green stars and combination with spin but it gets the job done this falls way short for me
hint: wanna make it smart buy a smart plug thats what i did for mine :)
Sounds nice, although it sounds like the Govee does more overall. But for the price, the Bliss option sounds pretty good.
@anoraker definitely the price point on the govee is a bit up there i own alot of govee products myself but some are too much for what they do
Shout out to the people eating schrooms and watching this
I really enjoyed your views but totally disappointed about the real live demo of it. I wanted to see the planets in real time, not snap shots. same for other effects. I think you demonsrated it for like 30 seconds in total out of a 5 minute video! You could have demonstrated the project and talked!
Hi there! Thanks so much for the feedback. I'm a newish UA-camr and still learning, and came from a world of written reviews where a few pictures are thrown in with thoughts. So yeah, that was definitely a mistake I made, I should have have shown more, and a few others have mentioned it. I've tried very much to do better with videos that followed this. I can't go back and redo this video, UA-cam doesn't let me add video unfortunately. So I created a short to show all the discs in real time. You can see it here:
ua-cam.com/users/shortsk4otJnVVZ98
I know it's not the same as if I got it right the first time! I can only promise to learn. Thank you for watching!
Sorry, I didn't realise you were a newbie. So please forgive me if my feedback was too harsh. I hope what i wrote helps you nonetheless. Demonstrating things is far better than just talking about them alone. Thanks for the other link - great! And please keep on with it because otherwise you look like an AMAZING presenter and your videos look real professional. @@anoraker
Oh I have just seen the short - exactly what I was looking for. great demo. And the nebulae look amazing thought dont they. The planets ? Mehh But the constellations are great too! Thanks for your comment about the disks maybe fading rendering the product useless. I think I will wait for their next model. I do like Govee products in general. @@anoraker
You weren't too harsh at all. Your comment is spot on, and something others have mentioned too. And honestly, I found it to be invaluable feedback. If no one had mentioned it, I couldn't learn and do better. Thank you again for the comment and for watching. @@rinleeds
I attended CES and spoke with the Govee reps about this. I asked if they planned to sell more discs, but alas they didn't have an answer to that. They did however admit they're working on a newer version of this projector... maybe it will have the improvements we're looking for!@@rinleeds
seems more like a sub $50 item than 150.00 , overpriced for what it is
Nah, it's definitely more than a $50 item. It's a pretty good bluetooth speaker and a very bright projector, plus Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/etc. I'd love it if it could cost less. But all the good ones (read, not from a company name that's just a jumble of letters) are in this price range.
@@anorakerwhen you say projector , you mean it ONLY projects Stars and whatever is on the disk ? Not allow you to project a video or image from
Your phone or hdmi ? Right ? I would buy it for $50-60$ unless it was an actual projector
@@BrandonMitchell84 I guess I should be more careful with my words for clarity, it's a star projector. (Not a true projector) But again, good star projectors cost about this price.
