How to do it yourself?

Using the available materials, you can save money and independently make an original lamp. There are 3 options for creating a starry sky projector.

From the can

This method is the easiest and fastest. Prepare an empty and clean tin can. It should be noted that the larger the room in which the lamp will stand, the larger the bank should be.

Be sure to remove the paper label to eliminate the risk of fire. Using a nail, awl, or other sharp object, make holes in the surface of the can. If you can give them the shape of a star, great. But arbitrarily arranged round holes or slits in the form of familiar constellations will also work.

Paint the can with heat-resistant paint. Cover it with a light source. This may be a desk lamp without a lampshade, but it is better to choose a device that does not require a network connection. A candle, a flashlight or something else will do.

Visually the manufacturing process can be viewed on the video below.

With foil

In this case, the holes are cut in foil. Then take a clean glass jar. A sheet of foil of the appropriate size is twisted into a tube and placed inside. Pre-applied glue on the foil secures it around the edges. Then a candle is placed inside, and the can is closed with a lid. The lamp is ready.

Using LEDs

This method is more complex and costly. Here, the LED strip can be used as a light source. The case of the lamp can serve as the same bank, pasted over with foil. To make the construction work, you need to drill a hole in the can for the wire.

How to turn on?

If you plan to use the projection night light autonomously, purchase the required number of AA batteries (2, 3, or 4 pieces, depending on the luminaire model). Insert them into the compartment located at the bottom of the base of the device.

You can also connect the projector to a power adapter of the appropriate power (if it is not attached to the device, you will also need to purchase it yourself).

To see the projection of the starry sky, press the power button (LED, STAR). Some models have several buttons.One can provide a projection of white stars. Another may include a change in shades.
