Posted by Notcot on Apr 10, 2010 in Home Cinema & Video |
- A unique home décor accessory of the moon with 12 illuminated lunar phases
- Authentic illuminated moonscape
- The 12 moon phases can be automatic or manual via the infared remote control
- Includes an auto shut off mechanism to preserve battery life once you have fallen asleep
- Learn all about the moon with the 15 minute audio CD which is included
From an adult perspective this is a nice product. The moon is hemispherical and the size of a small dinner plate. It mounts to a wall using a single screw (not provided) and a keyhole slot on the back. It comes with a remote control that has an on/off switch, a manual moon phase control and an automatic phasing button. The moon will only illuminate in a dark room (light sensor) and can be set to full auto: in which case it’ll come on as soon as the room darkens or manual: you control the on/off.
The moon has the ability to illuminate itself to show the phases of the moon (crescent to full). This can be automatic in which case the phase moves every 5 seconds (too fast perhaps) or manual. The manual mode is useful because increasing or decreasing the illumination makes the moon a useful mood-light in a bedroom etc. The illumination turns off after 30 minutes so you’ll not fall asleep and drain the batteries. Oh, there’s also a CD of moon related information for kids to enjoy.
Children will like this if only for the night light ability and it does look reasonably moon like with the slightly textured surface to simulate craters. I quite like it.

Bought this for my 7/8 year old who is mad about space and astronomy, we all think it’s absolutely magical. It’s very realistic, gives off just the right amount of light and is suitable to play with or just to leave on to go to sleep to. I can think of a few other kids who will be getting these for presents. Just GREAT!

I bought this product for my two year old son. he needed a night light and loves the moon and stars so when i came across this product it looked perfect. the detail on the moon is amazing. it looks good and gives of a perfect glow for a night light. it also goes off after 30min to save the batteries which is perfect. so realistic and worth every penny and when my son is old enough to understand the cd which explains about the moon he can also benifit from that too. def something that wont go out of date and you can never be to old for. im considering gettin one noe for my room as decoration. glad i came across it.

We bought this for our 8 year old granson, he loves the moon and spends ages watching the different phases. He also enjoys listening to the information cd which comes with it. The moon is fasinating and quite realistic. An unusual but educational present.
