Why the Northern Galaxy Projector stands out

This is a 3-in-1 device, and that combination is what makes it worth the space on your nightstand. First, it is a genuinely impressive light projector: a dual-lens design layers moving aurora waves over a starry sky, with four colors, 33 lighting atmospheres, and 16 northern-light effects you can adjust for speed and brightness. Second, it is a Bluetooth speaker, so you can stream your own music and watch the stars move in rhythm to the beat. Third, it is a sleep and relaxation tool, with eight built-in white-noise sounds like ocean waves, forest birds, and a gentle lullaby. A remote control lets you change everything without getting out of bed.

Pros and cons

• Pros: stunning aurora and starfield projection that fills a whole ceiling; three devices in one (projector, Bluetooth speaker, white-noise machine); remote control plus adjustable brightness, color, and flow speed; music-reactive rhythm mode for parties; strong 4.4-star rating from nearly 10,000 reviewers; affordable at around $34.
• Cons: the star effect looks best in a darker room; with so many modes and settings there is a short learning curve; the built-in speaker is fine for ambient listening but is not a substitute for a dedicated audio system.

Who it is for

This projector is a great pick for a lot of people. It is a favorite for kids’ bedrooms and nurseries thanks to the soothing white noise, a fun mood-setter for teens and gamers, a romantic touch for couples, and an easy party upgrade with its music-reactive mode. Because it works as room decor, a sleep aid, and a speaker all at once, it also makes a thoughtful, budget-friendly gift for birthdays, holidays, or housewarmings.
