 For the young scientist or...Jun 22, 2010
Way back in primary school I had gotten one of these at a 'Discovery' Store -
being the nerd [and I use that term VERY affectionately :)] that I was, this was
the coolest thing since my first microscope. Over the years, treasured as it was,
the rainbow projector was lost amongst the various things I accumulated...
Last year I had found it on Amazon, and promptly ordered it!
I can honestly say I felt the same joy and awe again that I had experienced as a child.
I love curling up with my cats and a cup of tea and just watching it -
My birds love it too, and my Scarlet Macaw positively adores it!
I've just purchased another one for the down-stairs and can't wait until it arrives :)
I'd say it's iffy in terms of being educational, unless of course you get into the whole
light refraction / visible spectrum thing(?) It's very stimulating mentally however!
On terms of durability - I take caution to an extreme with my larger birds, but other
than that I'd suppose it would hold up well against a moderately destructive toddler.
Over all, it's a fantastic little thing to have; for the young scientist or the young at heart,
although it may not be practical, it's still a simple something that's enjoyable.
 It's a nifty toy for someone that likes rainbows,May 05, 2010
But it's not the brightest light ever, more intended as a night-light function than anything else. Be warned, I bought this for a friend of mine, and upon opening the box I felt quite silly. I had thought that there would be an AC adapter included, there was not. Luckily someone had some batteries out in their car so we were able to have some rainbow-y fun fairly soon after.
Also, there's no motion in the toy itself, so it's a stationary rainbow on the wall/ceiling. It's a cute toy, worth $20, but not ground-breaking stuff here.
Love It!!!Mar 17, 2010
I purchased this for my daughters 3rd Birthday and she loves it! I purchased it back in Jan. and it still has vibrant colors. I hope we avoid the problem of it not lasting like other reviewers. I will be buying another for my 5 year old for his birthday, or I may try to talk him into the star projector and hopefully it will be as awesome as this. My daughter has a shelf that is about a foot from her ceiling that I placed it on and she gets a great projection all the way across her room. I really like that it shuts itself off after 10 minutes, that way I don't have to go in and turn it off every night to save battery life. We love this light and I would totally recommend this product based on our experience!

Good product for what it is, nothing more, but sometimes less...Mar 01, 2010
I read through all the reviews currently for this product and it's easy to see that some people expected way too much from this toy.
It takes a bit of common sense to know that this thing's not going to light up a room with rainbows bright and sharp (even real rainbows are not super sharp and bright, depends on the water vapor and where you and the sun are), nor can it make rainbows that dance, move, etc- it just makes a pretty light that looks like a rainbow- that's it, nothing more.
Though in some people's cases, it may be less since some units don't work as well as the one I got as a gift. I have no complaints so far.
Mine works great and still does after my nearer-towards-rough handling (on purpose for durability reasons). It will break if you really try to, but it does hold up better than one might think flimsy plastic might.
It has two modes- instant on rainbow and one color at a time on rainbow (both modes turn off in the same manner as they turn on). It can take an AC adapter (search the net to find one, I didn't have much trouble) which will keep it on all the time. With batteries only, it turns off after ten minutes as the instructions say.
It's not a projector of any sorts (read the box, don't assume by looking at the box's art!). It's just a fancy nightlight with pretty colored LED bulbs that form a rainbow which are bright close up, but not far away.
It's good for what it is and only does so much. The art on the packaging is only there to grab your attention, not imply it can do all that 'projector-type' stuff when common sense tells you otherwise.
No where on the box does it say it's a projector. It does have somewhat deceptive packaging via the art, but we have to be smarter than that. Don't ever get tricked by assumptions of this or ANY product by what you simply see on the box. Always read first, then make your decision to buy or not.
So if you want a pretty nightlight to dazzle children (especially ones who love rainbows), you'll most likely make their day (or night as this light only works in dark rooms with lighter colored walls & ceilings, which my home is full of).
If you have a well-lit house with dark walls & ceilings- you probably won't get satisfactory results.
For me, I enjoyed my gift for what it is and have a pretty display of a rainbow arc on my wall near my computer desk at night whenever I want. :)

Great nightlight!Feb 17, 2010
My daughter absolutely loves this light. It makes a brilliant rainbow on the wall and she falls asleep with sweet dreams.
The only draw back, is that the ac plug for the wall doean't come with it and I'm still looking for one to purchase. The light turns off after 10 mins. without a plug.
But I definitely recommend this to everyone and the small size fits perfect on any size nightstand.
