See the stars even on cloudy nights with the Pococo star projector, now at the lowest price since July
We’re not always blessed with clear nights to go outside with a telescope or binoculars for stargazing, so buying a star projector is a great way to bring the night sky indoors in any weather. One of our favorites, the Pococo Galaxy Lite, is now down to $76.49 (in white), which is the cheapest we’ve seen since July.

It’s more than just a pretty light, because it comes with a set of discs that project bright, vivid, lifelike images – no sticky laser stars in sight. It’s a wonderful educational tool for curious children and creates a calm, soothing environment for stressed adults.

In our full review of the Pococo Galaxy Lite, we praised the quality of the projections and noted that they were vivid and bright even during the day. Its operation is very simple, with just a few buttons on the body itself (meaning no remote to fiddle with), and it’s also rechargeable, so you’re not limited to keeping it near a power outlet.
You can set a sleep timer to turn off after 15, 30, or 60 minutes, and there’s also an auto-off feature after 2 hours of continuous use to conserve battery life. There are three colors to choose from, but currently the white model is the cheapest.
Main features: LED bulb, no lasers, control on the body, sleep timer, rotation, no speaker, projection area of 12 square meters, measures 157x 120x 120 mm.
Product launched: December 2022.
Price history: The price tends to fluctuate around $89/$99, and we haven’t seen it this cheap since July of this year.
Consensus of opinions: Our review concluded: “The Pococo Galaxy Star Projector is an affordable alternative to more expensive star projectors like the Sega Toys Homestar Flux. It offers the same features and picture quality (if not better), and it’s also rechargeable, giving you more flexibility in terms of where you can direct the projections.”
