Astronaut night light

Astronaut night light: a space-themed glow in the bedroom

An astronaut night light is a spaceman figure that projects stars, galaxies or nebulae onto the bedroom walls and ceiling. It also comes as an engraved crystal ball and as a mini USB lamp. All of them can go in the bedroom from birth; children can handle them from 3 years old.

Which astronaut night light should you choose? The comparison

The table sets out what the product page of each astronaut night light in the collection says: what it projects, whether it plays sound, its timer, its power supply, its size and its starting price. "Not specified" means the product page does not say.

Every astronaut night light in the table comes with a remote control, except the crystal ball, the mini USB lamp and the white noise model, which is controlled with a tap and through its Bluetooth app.

Astronaut projector night light: a starry sky on the ceiling

The vast majority of our astronaut night lights are projectors: the spaceman figure casts stars, galaxies or colourful nebulae onto the walls and ceiling. Most of them rotate 360°, and several product pages state coverage of up to 30 m².

For a sharp result, the room needs to be properly dark and the projection surface fairly light. If the bedroom is small, point the projector at the ceiling. Two product pages mention an adjustable angle: the Starry Sky Astronaut Projector and the Astronaut Projector with Bluetooth. All our astronaut projectors are also grouped with other starry skies in our projector night light range.

Astronaut lamp on a moon, with a guitar, a rocket or a bunny: which figure?

The figure matters as much as the projection, because it is what your child looks at during the day, switched off, on the bedside table. Here are the poses you will find in the collection, according to the product pages:

• On a crescent moon: the Astronaut on the Moon Projection, with 3 moon shades, and the RGB Astronaut Projection, whose moon cycles through every colour.
• Holding a star: the White Star and the Black Star, two small models 12.5 cm tall.
• Musician: the White Guitar, with a guitar resting beside him, and the Black Guitar, a cross-legged rocker astronaut.
• On a rocket: the Astronaut Projection with Rocket, sitting on a rocket ready for lift-off, and the white noise model, surfing on a blue rocket.
• Astronaut animals: three space bunnies (Bunny, Sitting Bunny, Bunny and Moon) and a dog with a golden helmet.

Without projection, the astronaut crystal ball night light shows a spaceman above the solar system, with every planet labelled, from Mercury to Neptune. The mini USB Astronaut lamp plugs into a computer to light up a keyboard or a book.

Astronaut night light for kids: the features that matter

For a child's bedroom, three features make the difference: the timer, the remote control and the sound. The timer switches off the projection once your child is asleep, the remote saves you from going back into the room, and the sound goes with the bedtime routine.

• Timer: 45 or 90 minutes on the bunnies, the Sitting Astronaut, the Bluetooth model and the Starry Sky Astronaut Projection; 1, 2 or 4 hours on the Stars, the Guitars, the Moon, the Dog and the white noise model; 1 or 2 hours on the Large model.
• Built-in white noise: on three models, the Astronaut Projector with White Noise (15 sounds), the Dog Astronaut Projection (8 white noise sounds) and the Large Astronaut Projection.
• Lullabies or soft melodies: every Bluetooth product page in the collection says it plays lullabies or music from a phone (a speaker is specified on the Dog and the white noise model).
• Material: most product pages state an ABS figure, and each one mentions CE and RoHS certification.

For an overview of all the models suited to younger children, our kids' night light range brings together models for little ones, with or without a space theme.

Why choose an astronaut night light?

• A bedtime routine: switching on the starry sky becomes the signal that it is time to sleep, then the timer turns off the projection once your child is asleep.
• Space-themed decor: the figure goes with the posters, bedding and stickers in the room.

Astronaut night light: frequently asked questions

From what age is an astronaut night light suitable?

An astronaut night light can go in the bedroom from birth. Every product page in the collection says children can handle it from 3 years old: before that age, place it out of reach of the cot and let parents adjust it. Models with a timer then switch off on their own.

Rechargeable or battery-powered astronaut night light?

None of our astronaut night lights is listed as rechargeable on its product page. Those whose power supply is stated plug into a USB cable, and the White Star, the Black Star, both Guitars and the white noise model also take AAA batteries to work cordless.

Does an astronaut night light project onto the ceiling?

Yes, all our astronaut models project onto the ceiling and walls, except the crystal ball and the mini USB lamp. Most rotate 360°, and the White Star, the Black Star, the Guitars and the white noise model cover up to 30 m² according to their product pages.

Is an astronaut night light suitable for an adult?

Yes, several astronaut night lights also work as decor for adults. The astronaut crystal ball, engraved with the solar system, sits on a desk; the mini USB Astronaut lamp lights up a keyboard at night; the Large and the RGB models decorate a shelf. The projectors create a starry-sky atmosphere in any room.
