What is an astronaut lamp?
An astronaut lamp is a night light shaped as a spacesuited figure: some glow softly from inside, some hold a moon or a plasma ball, and the projector models tilt their helmet to throw a galaxy onto the ceiling. USB powered, remote or tap controlled, with timers on the projectors, they are the hero of a space themed bedroom and the gift the whole family recognises.

Who is this collection for?
👨🚀
For a child who wants to be an astronaut
An astronaut lamp or projector is the bedroom's hero: it glows, it projects the galaxy, and it looks like a toy you are allowed to keep on.
🎁
For a space themed birthday or a new baby's room
The gift the whole family recognises. Warm light, soft shapes, and a night sky on the ceiling with the projector models.
🚀
For adults with a space corner
Desk astronauts, plasma astronauts and projector figures for the geek who decorates with intent.
How to choose an astronaut lamp
Decide between a lamp that glows and a projector that paints the ceiling; then check the size against the shelf or bedside table it will live on.
| Type | Best for | Feature | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Astronaut USB night lights | Toddlers, bedside, soft glow | Warm LED, tap control | £16 to £30 |
| Astronaut moon and plasma lamps | Kids' rooms, desks | Holds a moon or a plasma ball | £40 to £60 |
| Astronaut galaxy projectors | Bedtime routine, ages 3+ | Adjustable head, timer, remote | £45 to £94 |
Projector heads turn and tilt so the galaxy lands where you want. Set the timer for bedtime: the projectors are bright and colourful, best switched off once the child is asleep.
The science in two lines
The projector models use a low power laser through a diffraction grating for the stars and LEDs behind a slowly rotating lens for the nebula, the same optics as a full size galaxy projector packed into a helmet. Eye-safe at these power levels, but not for staring into.

Astronaut Lamp: your questions, answered
What does an astronaut projector do?
It projects stars, nebulae and sometimes a rotating galaxy onto the ceiling from an astronaut figure with an adjustable head. Timer, brightness and colour modes by remote.
Is it suitable as a night light for a toddler?
The soft astronaut lamps, yes. The projectors are best from 3 or 4 with the timer set, as they are bright and colourful.
How is it powered?
USB with a cable included; some models have a rechargeable battery for cordless use.
Can I aim the projection?
Yes, the astronaut's head turns and tilts so the galaxy lands on the ceiling or the wall you want.
What size is it?
Most astronaut lamps stand 20 to 25 cm tall. Exact dimensions are on each product page.
