I've got a few ideas to create an emmersive experience. Step 1: Setup curtain rods spanning all four walls of a room. Hang black velvet curtains from ceiling to floor covering all walls. Step 2: Get the room comfortably cold, around 60f/15c. Step 3: Burn a small amount of Pine tree sap to create that camp fire smell in the room. This also happens to be my secret recipe for scenting my clothes. I have a walk in closet where I'll burn different tree saps as incense to smoke the whole room. The smoke smell stays on my clothes for weeks. People are always asking me why I smell like a camp fire. I tell them its my cologne 😁. Step 4: Use large 10" bluetooth speaker to play nature sounds very softly from behind the curtain. Step 5: Set a 4k TV on the floor playing a crackling fire video. Step 6: Make some "Bears Milk", the perfect cold weather drink. If having guests perhaps also make some Chicken Paprikash. Step 7: Dark Skys DS1 BABY! Step 8: Invite other people to come enjoy the experience with you.
Nice! I bought mine just over a year ago, love it... I have a white ceiling in my bedroom and at night with zero lights and my window completely shut with a dark, thick velvet curtain it darkens my room 100% top it off with natural mountain ambiance sounds(creeks, owls and crickets, etc.) on a seamless loop... it’s a the closest you can get to sleeping out in the open under the stars! Amazing product will definitely purchase any new version whenever they become available! Great video!!
Wow that's awesome, love hearing user experiences from others who have purchased! Sounds like you have a great room for it too! Thanks for dropping a comment and supporting!
Looks like they are trying another production run at the moment, I just reserved one. No nightlight on it this time apparently, hoping it lives up to the hype.
This looks like a very high quality realistic beautiful piece BUT for over $600 I want this to have at least the coverage on my walls as my cheapie bliss lights. The bliss lights is obvi fake but it has a twinkly magical feeling. If I am paying a small fortune I better get a magical encompassing feeling. If someone could combine this with the blisslights coverage and color saturation and twinkle and movement they could easily take my money.
I thought the same. It's looks so real and in the same way so fake,lifeless. No movement in it ,thunder doesn't move,cloud doesn't move its just a picture that rotates...also in the latest models they removed the night light function but the price stayed the Same...big no for this product
I received mine today after looking at it for years. And I didn't realise the night light thing wasn't there anymore. And the non chromatic lenses really feel "cheap",it doesn't seem like it does much more than random 100€ projector. Also it doesn't cover enough of the ceiling to my liking. And I paid customs and the total is really 🥵

I’ve owned this projector since they first came out. If you think about all the money we’ve spent cheap planetariums, the price looks reasonable. My grandkids lay out blankets on the floor when Do a show with it on their vaulted ceiling. I wish someone would create “blanks” so we could make our own disks with transparencies.
That sounds nice that your grandkids enjoy the projections - How does it look on a vaulted ceiling? I would imagine this would have an extra cool effect!
Amazing projector, thankfully I have light colour ceilings. I assumed this would be pretty expensive but the attention to detail on both projection and lamp is definitely there. I don’t know how many star discs they give you complementary upon purchase(or any) but it would be nice to have a variety of a few to start with.
Yea, it actually worked out ok on my concrete ceilings, as long as you can remove most of the light should be fine, but will be best on a lighter/white surface! The projector comes with the 4.1 million star chrome disc, which is "arguably" one of the best ones, or at least the highest resolution one because of the materials.
Without a shadow of a doubt, the dark Skys DS1 home planetarium was the best investment I did in 2020. In fact I liked it so much that I proceeded to buy all the discs.
Wow Anthony! That's awesome to hear your enjoying your DS1 so much! I find it's very much on the user to place/create the right environment for the DS1 to really excel.
Amazing review. Love the points about the colours of the ceiling and the darkness it requires that will affect the effect. Rightly so! Out of all the reviews I watched, yours is the most informative. I glad i found this before buying any other projector. Thank you!
I know so. I am about to go get mine. I love the solar system and the stars galaxy, everything about it makes me feel better about being in Earth. I loved camping where I could see our beautiful sky without the city lights. Can't wait to see how much stargazing I'm going to be doing.
Since you mention the darkness problem... If I leave it on while watching Netflix in a big screen... will the light be too much? How would that compare to a Flux? I'm looking for something I can also use with friends over and not only in my bedroom.
Such a great Planetarium! I spoke with the Owner amd he's such an honest man. He took his time to explain the product to me. He also mentioned a shooting star feature. Can you show us that?
@@FUTURESPACECOLLECTIVE Christopher Miller mentioned there's an adm module add on that makes the stars twinkle while the chrome disc is inside the Planetarium. Can you do a video with that add-on?
@@jorgelorenzanajr2471Ah you mean the ADM module, yea it's an add-on piece I don't have it or would've shown it, but I don't think it changes things too much. It wIll add a bit more of a twinkle to it.
How the fuck you only have 10k subs, keep the incredible work on brother. If you keep grinding and do also diffrent kind of things and reviews with this quality, you will be one of the biggest channels
The level of detail is amazing and I'm sure it is worth the price if you can afford it. I would love to get one but for now, the price is out of my reach. Great review, thanks.
Julian, you rock. My initial thoughts are that I wonder if this has any 3-D effect that the Galaxy 2.0 Projector has? On the Galaxy projector, the nebula appears with some slight depth with the stars. It's not a huge effect, but it's definitely there, and it definitely improves the experience a lot. From what I can see with the first scene you show (and btw, it's awesome that you have a room with windows and outside light, because I was wondering if it would work in such an environment - and it seems that it does), it looks like a very high quality planetarium type of projection, which provides and awesome atmosphere to escape, de-stress, etc... I guess my only concern is that if you are investing this kind of money, how much use are you going to get out of it? With the cheaper projectors, I turn them on while chilling in the room watching movies. So they provide a very nice background and some immersive experience for a movie. This seems like a much higher-end experience that is more for being a primary focus - in other words, it might be overkill if it's just going to be used as casual background. If however, you are going to be lying on a bean bag chair listening to some music or some meditation or some other private activities, then I think it's a very useful luxury. One other thing it might be very useful for is having a couple friends over for a drink or smoke, and having a super-sweet environment. I'd probably drop $300 on it right now, but the current price seems a bit steep, but that's just my personal opinion because I probably wouldn't use it as much as other folks might. If I was having friends over on a regular basis, I'd buy at current price immediately. Thanks so much for showing us these products!!
Hey thanks for watching. I agree for the most part. A lot to spend for majority of folks, myself included. Maybe to use ideally as an every night night light perhaps! For about $300 I would go with the Sega Flux which I've also done a video on that is very close to this in effect. The only problem is you do need a rather dark environment. A niche product for sure!
I would have liked this more if the disc images weren't static like a classic 70's ViewMaster toy. A 3D rotating visual like nebulas and starts moving behind planets would offer a more dynamic experience. One shooting star zipping by in the same straight line every few minutes will quickly lose its novelty. Give me motion and I'm a buyer.
Nicely done video. But you yourself said it. It's a lamp. I personally don't care to see humongous amounts of non twinkling star charts, and to add insult, they randomly throw in a shooting star. I have to agree with others. It basically a disk projection for yikes-land pricing. If I had money to burn, sure! But at 18 times the price of many popular units. I'll save this money for much more practical purchases.
Two questions: Does anyone know why the nightlight feature was discontinued? Also, is there a customer service phone number? I never received a response to my email. Thank you in advance!
This is the biggest as far as I know! I think they're doing a 2.0 version, not sure. The Sega Flux is a good alternative though if you're looking for a bit more brightness ua-cam.com/video/AIHsU6qARF8/v-deo.html
The reason why the second run is more expensive as this is the Chrome plated model, the 1st model was just base metal. My biggest disappoint is a lot and I mean a lot of disks are sold out, so are you buying just the less popular / good disks?
Ah ok! Didn't know that! I also think a part of the reason the unit overall is expensive is due to the small volume limited runs currently (I briefly mention in the video). I'm sure if these were being manufactured at a volume of 5x - the price would be able to come down. Right now they're all assembled in the US. As for the discs I was told the Stormy Sky and the Eagle Nebula were two of the most popular discs (as show in the vid!) I really loved the Saturn disc and wish I could've tested a lot more.
Is the Dark Skys DS1 still the best one? I want to get one of these galaxy projects but I dont want to get one that looks all blurry. Or atleast one that is least blurry compared to others.
Great vids my guy, I see a lot of your vids are about an ambient of lights. Maybe consider doing “Best of L.E.D’s” behind the TV or Room Borders. I’ve been wanting to spice up my Wall mounted TV.
Keep making video dude. I just stumbled across the channel and everything about the production, lighting, sound, quality and editing is on point. You might not be racking up views now, but just keep being consistent and grind it out.
Welcome to the collective! I appreciate your comment, Very sound advice! I talk about grinding it out and staying consistent as being the key to success in some other vids. Thanks for supporting!
Can anyone tell me where I can get a replacement adaptor? My power adaptor has stopped working (the small light at the end of the cable does not light up) thus is the 2nd time in 2 years that this problem has happened. Miller Engineering replaced it once but I have the problem again. I unplug the adaptor after safely shutting of the projector each time but no avail! Does anyone have a support number for them?
Such an amazing piece of tech. Super smart of them to offer different plates to slide in, since that means new ones can come out time and again. (Brilliant way for them to make money from repeat customers.) I'm looking for ambient projection I can do while livestreaming, which means I need to have a projector strong enough to compete with key-lighting. Because of that, this isn't quite for me (for work at least), but for off-stream ambiance? Wow. It's gorgeous. Thanks for putting so much effort into your reviews! The editing and quality are stellar. ;)
@@FUTURESPACECOLLECTIVE I actually just saw your video on the Aura lamps, and insta!bought two. LOL So many ways to customize that I couldn't pass it up! I can use them on both sides of my desk for some gentle ambient lighting while I game and while doing my ASMR streams. Gentle color-shifting is a perfect compliment to relaxing sound-healing work or soft-voiced reading. I can't wait to play around with it all!
The company actually makes pretty much all the same disks to use in the uncle Milton projectors and the sega. They are not cheap but are worth it! WAY better than copycat discs sold on Amazon
Before buying this, look at the homestar lux projector. Looks to have the same functionality, at a fraction of the price (not cheap either, sadly at about 190€)
Hey man. Loved every bit of your video you gained a subscriber across your country.Actually I have a question.Does the projector gonna make any difference if I have objects on my ceiling like fan, chandelier or side false ceiling?Or is it still gonna give that smooth vibe?
The projection size is relative to the distance of the surface it's projected at. In theory it'd be possible if you could distance the projector enough. It's got fairly wide coverage at a short throw, but it won't fill an entire room like your thinking (unless it was a dome like roof maybe!). Hope this helps!
I love the interchangeable disks on this one, there are so many more options! Also, has anyone ever said you look like Rafe Spall? (But with way cooler hair, haha.)
My dude, HOW does your channel not have at least 1 mil subscribers? Your content is so well made and such high quality. Your energy and personality just bursts through all your vids. I can feel I'm about to go on a massive binge of all your videos 😂
Sneaky Bogan!!! Amazing, friend, thanks for the wonderful words of encouragement my friend. Appreciate you taking the time, doing my best to make this channel into something special! Binge away. 😂
I think a Sega Toys Homestar Flux (Satin Black) Home Planetarium Star Projector would be better ima get that instead it’s $239 Nd u can buy discs for it to like this... If u know what that is which one would u perfer???
DUDE!!! Another GREAT video!!!! MIND FREAKIN BLOWN!!! I Love that thing!!!! It is HELLA expensive, but the quality does seem to match up with the price, at least in your video. The only thing that kinda makes me a little hesitant to get it would be the brightness thing. That's something that has bothered me about so many of these projectors/ lights etc. It's always usually me thinking I love/Like it, but just wish it was brighter. So maybe ill wait this one out a little (If I actually can lol) Oh and PS not sure if you''ve heard about Monster brands new "Prisim & Digit & Orb" (and a few more) products, but might wanna check it out. Would prob make a good video. Picked all of them up yesterday at Walmart and pretty cool...for the pricepoint! Let me know what you think! Stay safe dude! :)
Lol yup the brightness thing is always a factor, I would love to run the star projectors with all my lights as well, but have to run them with fewer lights turned on! The DS1 definitely needs the most dark environment out of all the projectors I've done! I've heard Monster is getting into the lighting game, I should look into it, wonder how they stack up to the Nanoleaf tiles which I still haven't tried! Anyhow, thanks for the tip! Thanks for supporting!
Great video. I'd never heard of this company before. This projector seems to be high quality. How much ceiling coverage could I expect in a 14'x12' room with 12' tall ceilings? Anyone know? Can't seem to find an answer to that on the Dark Skys website.
It should cover the majority of the ceiling. In some of the first shots with the stormy nights disc is was roughly the same size room projected onto 18' ceilings, being about 12' away from the ceiling. So in theory if you had the projector on the floor it should cover a fair bit if not all the ceiling. If you need an absolute answer I'd suggest trying to contact Dark Skys
Also remember, works best with a white ceiling/surface, and needs next to complete darkness to work well. The Sega Flux is a great alternative at almost half the cost and is a bit brighter - ua-cam.com/video/AIHsU6qARF8/v-deo.html (price links in description)
It has an internal fan, no heating issues. It has a relatively large throw angle, but size is all dependent on the distance away from the projection surface.
I have a video on the flux as well: ua-cam.com/video/AIHsU6qARF8/v-deo.html (price links in description) basically, flux is brighter and half the price, while DS1 offers the higher res disc.
I live in Russia, I really like space, the stars, the solar system and this home planetarium. I want everyone's eyes to burn with love for the study of astronomy.
Hi, thanks for the review. I do have one question though. Does the projection itself create enough light for it to be a good nightlight in a living room?
How high are your ceilings? Does the projection would better if aimed on an angle at a wall/ceiling, or does that throw the perspective off and look a bit odd?
GET IT HERE: amzn.to/3XGAKkl
Do you know if this takes either of their previous disks or are the disks exclusively fit for the ds-1?
I've got a few ideas to create an emmersive experience.
Step 1: Setup curtain rods spanning all four walls of a room. Hang black velvet curtains from ceiling to floor covering all walls.
Step 2: Get the room comfortably cold, around 60f/15c.
Step 3: Burn a small amount of Pine tree sap to create that camp fire smell in the room. This also happens to be my secret recipe for scenting my clothes.

Step 6: Make some "Bears Milk", the perfect cold weather drink. If having guests perhaps also make some Chicken Paprikash.

One shooting star zipping by in the same straight line every few minutes will quickly lose its novelty. Give me motion and I'm a buyer.
Totally agree!
Nicely done video. But you yourself said it. It's a lamp. I personally don't care to see humongous amounts of non twinkling star charts, and to add insult, they randomly throw in a shooting star. I have to agree with others. It basically a disk projection for yikes-land pricing. If I had money to burn, sure! But at 18 times the price of many popular units. I'll save this money for much more practical purchases.
Two questions: Does anyone know why the nightlight feature was discontinued? Also, is there a customer service phone number? I never received a response to my email. Thank you in advance!
Will this work on vaulted ceilings? Or better yet what is the max feet that this thing will project to?
Should work on vaulted ceilings. Two main things are colour of the ceiling (white for best result) and having the room as dark as possible.
I am really looking to purchase one of these but have pot lights on my ceiling they are flat and protrude about 5mm will they ruin the experience?
Me: Sitting here stoned wondering if this is somehing worth trying out.
Video intro: No, you dont understand.....It's F**king EPIC!
Update: I ordered one, lol. I cant wait to get it in the mail. Sadly, they've removed the night lamp feature though.
LOL...this comment made me laugh haha.
Light one up and turn it on in complete darkness! Make sure it's in focus and fly away!
I can't believe this exists! Now I can save up for this! I've dreamed about this!
Great video!!!!! Any recommendation for even a bigger one?
This is the biggest as far as I know! I think they're doing a 2.0 version, not sure. The Sega Flux is a good alternative though if you're looking for a bit more brightness ua-cam.com/video/AIHsU6qARF8/v-deo.html
The reason why the second run is more expensive as this is the Chrome plated model, the 1st model was just base metal.
My biggest disappoint is a lot and I mean a lot of disks are sold out, so are you buying just the less popular / good disks?
Ah ok! Didn't know that! I also think a part of the reason the unit overall is expensive is due to the small volume limited runs currently (I briefly mention in the video). I'm sure if these were being manufactured at a volume of 5x - the price would be able to come down. Right now they're all assembled in the US. As for the discs I was told the Stormy Sky and the Eagle Nebula were two of the most popular discs (as show in the vid!) I really loved the Saturn disc and wish I could've tested a lot more.
Is the Dark Skys DS1 still the best one? I want to get one of these galaxy projects but I dont want to get one that looks all blurry. Or atleast one that is least blurry compared to others.
Great vids my guy, I see a lot of your vids are about an ambient of lights. Maybe consider doing “Best of L.E.D’s” behind the TV or Room Borders. I’ve been wanting to spice up my Wall mounted TV.
I've got just the thing for you, doing a video on it in a few weeks: amzn.to/3g57BdA
Ayyy welcome bro we missed ya!❤️
Thanks man! Appreciate the support
I love your channel by the way its my third video in a row
Awesome! Thanks for watching and checking out the vids!
As always high quality content
You know it! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!
Boy i might had to go grab this bih, that projector to cool for school 😎😍😂
Keep making video dude.
I just stumbled across the channel and everything about the production, lighting, sound, quality and editing is on point.
You might not be racking up views now, but just keep being consistent and grind it out.
Welcome to the collective! I appreciate your comment, Very sound advice! I talk about grinding it out and staying consistent as being the key to success in some other vids. Thanks for supporting!
Just added this on my wishlist 🥲
So you would recommend this over all others you reviewed? Love your channel.
If you're looking for a home planetarium like this checkout - checkout the Sega Flux video I did! and thanks for supporting the channel!
It's right here: ua-cam.com/video/AIHsU6qARF8/v-deo.html
Your channel is just amazing! You deserve so much more subs :3
Thank you so much 😀
Can anyone tell me where I can get a replacement adaptor? My power adaptor has stopped working (the small light at the end of the cable does not light up) thus is the 2nd time in 2 years that this problem has happened. Miller Engineering replaced it once but I have the problem again. I unplug the adaptor after safely shutting of the projector each time but no avail! Does anyone have a support number for them?
Great video! Is there any way to adjust focus on the ds1?
Yea it has a focus ring that was not mentioned in the video.
i used to play sims and sims 4 and there was this space interior pack which looks exactly like your room and its giving me soooo much nostalgia!
Hahah that'd be pretty sweet to see.
is the night light feature the lamp mode? Dark skys indicated their new production run will no include this anymore..
Yea it's the night light feature.
Such an amazing piece of tech. Super smart of them to offer different plates to slide in, since that means new ones can come out time and again. (Brilliant way for them to make money from repeat customers.) I'm looking for ambient projection I can do while livestreaming, which means I need to have a projector strong enough to compete with key-lighting. Because of that, this isn't quite for me (for work at least), but for off-stream ambiance? Wow. It's gorgeous.
Thanks for putting so much effort into your reviews! The editing and quality are stellar. ;)
Lol looks like you paid attention to my useage notes :D! Yup for streaming I'd recommend a Blisslights skylite by far the brightest! amzn.to/3baMyFr
Also thanks for dropping a comment and supporting!
@@FUTURESPACECOLLECTIVE I actually just saw your video on the Aura lamps, and insta!bought two. LOL So many ways to customize that I couldn't pass it up! I can use them on both sides of my desk for some gentle ambient lighting while I game and while doing my ASMR streams. Gentle color-shifting is a perfect compliment to relaxing sound-healing work or soft-voiced reading. I can't wait to play around with it all!
@@WizardWayKris Yep! I think you'll be happy with the lamp, definitely will be great to set the mood for some ASMR content!
The company actually makes pretty much all the same disks to use in the uncle Milton projectors and the sega. They are not cheap but are worth it! WAY better than copycat discs sold on Amazon
wow loved your flair! Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub Jay! Appreciate you supporting the channel!
this channel is so underrated bruh
hey pixwe! Thanks man, I think so too lol. Hopefully it'll catch on if with people like you supporting and engaging with the vids.
Dude u should have at least 1 million subs
lol thanks. I hope I can get there one day, it's much harder than it looks 😛
Before buying this, look at the homestar lux projector. Looks to have the same functionality, at a fraction of the price (not cheap either, sadly at about 190€)
Done a video on the Sega Flux here: ua-cam.com/video/AIHsU6qARF8/v-deo.html
Absolutely worth every penny
I want one of these now cuz I love star gazing and I’ll just get high af listen to music and watch the stars
Hey man. Loved every bit of your video you gained a subscriber across your country.Actually I have a question.Does the projector gonna make any difference if I have objects on my ceiling like fan, chandelier or side false ceiling?Or is it still gonna give that smooth vibe?
I have a question so is the stars on the ds1 look more realistic then the flux so what is better haveing it more brighter or the disks more relistic
Amazing video bro! I'm also very very interested in the linear lights that you have in your room, the red and the blue ones. Where did you buy them?
Thanks for watching Carlos! I made a video about the light bars your referring too here: ua-cam.com/video/ct6rgnAK-6c/v-deo.html
Does the projected image fill the entire room or is it contained within a defined circle?
The projection size is relative to the distance of the surface it's projected at. In theory it'd be possible if you could distance the projector enough. It's got fairly wide coverage at a short throw, but it won't fill an entire room like your thinking (unless it was a dome like roof maybe!). Hope this helps!
@@FUTURESPACECOLLECTIVE it does, many thanks. This is the best I’ve seen but oh, that price tag!
The price tag is pretty heavy, I would probably wait for a bit of dip in price but the quality is there big time
You might be waiting a while lol! Hopefully will come down one day.
@@FUTURESPACECOLLECTIVEhasn’t yet lol!
Will it be clear if it is not beamed directly from the centre of the room. I have one when beamed from a bedside table and it skews the stars.
I'm not sure how much skew this would cause but I imagine it was designed with bedside tables in mind.
What kind of chair do you have ? It looks very unique.
Thanks! Got it from wayfair, I forgot the name though, can look into it if you really want - the aesthetic is great but at a price for sure!
Please do a review and comparison of the sega homestar flux projectors. Just subscribed and love your content!
Hey Moface! I actually got a Sega Flux and will be doing a video on it in the upcoming weeks! Then I'll look to do a comparison vid
@@FUTURESPACECOLLECTIVE great can't wait to see it :D
Cool channel just subscribed and I hope it engages with fun STEM 💯
Thanks for the sub! Appreciate the support.
600 bucks is too expensive for this.
Not for the people that buy it
Lol agreed. Should have the cheaper Lazer one integrated too at that price.
$40 per disc for new material
Yeah I’m glad this review was made. I have a few $20 ones and they seem to have more bang for the buck than this thing
600 dollars expensive??? No it ain’t 😂
Great review man! What disc has the clouds with the moon and the stars in the back?
Hey man thanks for watching! I believe that disc is called stormy night or something along those lines
Great review. Do you think this would work in a larger room with very high ceilings?
Yes, so long as it's a dark room! I tested it on an 18ft ceiling just fine!
@@FUTURESPACECOLLECTIVE thanks 👍
HOW DOES IT DO ON A BLACK SURFACE?
I love the interchangeable disks on this one, there are so many more options! Also, has anyone ever said you look like Rafe Spall? (But with way cooler hair, haha.)
They have a great collection of discs for sure! Rafe Spall is deinfitely a new one lol! Thanks for watching!
Good night am watching from Jamaica
Greetings from Toronto! Thanks for watching and saying Hi!
My dude, HOW does your channel not have at least 1 mil subscribers? Your content is so well made and such high quality. Your energy and personality just bursts through all your vids. I can feel I'm about to go on a massive binge of all your videos 😂
Sneaky Bogan!!! Amazing, friend, thanks for the wonderful words of encouragement my friend. Appreciate you taking the time, doing my best to make this channel into something special! Binge away. 😂
Love your background lighting
Thanks man! Appreciate the support from a fellow creator!
Dope ass background music bro 😎
Is this really better than the flux?
I’m trying to decide on which to purchase.
The video for the flux and this one make both of them look amazing.
This is better than sega, more stars and not as bright Making it appear more realistic
I think a Sega Toys Homestar Flux (Satin Black) Home Planetarium Star Projector would be better ima get that instead it’s $239 Nd u can buy discs for it to like this... If u know what that is which one would u perfer???
I'm actually going to be a doing a video on the Sega Flux in a few weeks, I have a unit on its way to me!
@@FUTURESPACECOLLECTIVE I was gann get the flux but I got the DS-1 already...
Just ordered mine, thanks for the great review, so glad I found you.
Did it end up taking a while to ship?
Hey there! That's awesome good luck with it - happy to have helped, took a few weeks to get to me.
Can you control
The brightness?
What are those slim floot lights called ?
Did a video with links in description here: ua-cam.com/video/ct6rgnAK-6c/v-deo.html
Great video! Love the tips at the end, really helpful insight
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
DUDE!!! Another GREAT video!!!! MIND FREAKIN BLOWN!!! I Love that thing!!!! It is HELLA expensive, but the quality does seem to match up with the price, at least in your video. The only thing that kinda makes me a little hesitant to get it would be the brightness thing. That's something that has bothered me about so many of these projectors/ lights etc. It's always usually me thinking I love/Like it, but just wish it was brighter. So maybe ill wait this one out a little (If I actually can lol)
Oh and PS not sure if you''ve heard about Monster brands new "Prisim & Digit & Orb" (and a few more) products, but might wanna check it out. Would prob make a good video. Picked all of them up yesterday at Walmart and pretty cool...for the pricepoint! Let me know what you think! Stay safe dude! :)
Lol yup the brightness thing is always a factor, I would love to run the star projectors with all my lights as well, but have to run them with fewer lights turned on! The DS1 definitely needs the most dark environment out of all the projectors I've done! I've heard Monster is getting into the lighting game, I should look into it, wonder how they stack up to the Nanoleaf tiles which I still haven't tried! Anyhow, thanks for the tip! Thanks for supporting!
Love the channel brotha! This projector lamp looks dope af! Futuristic indeed 💫
Hey Will! Thanks man, appreciate the support, looks like your on your way too futurespacing your setup as well! 👍
@@FUTURESPACECOLLECTIVE yesir, I’m building a space station over here as well 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great video. I'd never heard of this company before. This projector seems to be high quality. How much ceiling coverage could I expect in a 14'x12' room with 12' tall ceilings? Anyone know? Can't seem to find an answer to that on the Dark Skys website.
It should cover the majority of the ceiling. In some of the first shots with the stormy nights disc is was roughly the same size room projected onto 18' ceilings, being about 12' away from the ceiling. So in theory if you had the projector on the floor it should cover a fair bit if not all the ceiling. If you need an absolute answer I'd suggest trying to contact Dark Skys
Also remember, works best with a white ceiling/surface, and needs next to complete darkness to work well. The Sega Flux is a great alternative at almost half the cost and is a bit brighter - ua-cam.com/video/AIHsU6qARF8/v-deo.html (price links in description)
Directions on getting disc out would be helpful.
Wondering how many hours of bulb life? can you puchase n replace bulb yourself and price of bulb. Thank you live your channel
Good question, one I don't know, I'm sure if you get in touch with Dark Sky's they can answer for you.
6:54 what song is this?
Is there heating issues since it is a projector? Will it fill a ceiling or just that round circle ⭕️ as seen ?
It has an internal fan, no heating issues. It has a relatively large throw angle, but size is all dependent on the distance away from the projection surface.
well damn. i will be buying this down the road as the price becomes more reasonable. some of the quality of scenes are amazing.
Thanks for watching and dropping a comment! The scenes are quite cool, and they'll keep making more I'd assume.
wow this projector is so beautiful!
It's quite nice, I have enjoyed using it and reviewing it!
So should I buy dark sky’s ds1 projector or the sega flux what one is more realistic and brighter
I have a video on the flux as well: ua-cam.com/video/AIHsU6qARF8/v-deo.html (price links in description) basically, flux is brighter and half the price, while DS1 offers the higher res disc.
I live in Russia, I really like space, the stars, the solar system and this home planetarium. I want everyone's eyes to burn with love for the study of astronomy.
Hi, thanks for the review. I do have one question though. Does the projection itself create enough light for it to be a good nightlight in a living room?
How high are your ceilings? Does the projection would better if aimed on an angle at a wall/ceiling, or does that throw the perspective off and look a bit odd?
My ceilings are about 10 ft, the projection works best on a white surface in a dark room. Angles are fine!
in your opinion, would a projector playing a starscape be better ?
No, although the word "better" is relative, certainly wouldn't give nearly the same effect, coverage, or realism.
