Review on Projector Changing Projection Romantic Atmosphere by Jennifer Middleton

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not good for photo/video work but good for mood lighting

This is one of the cheapest sunset projection lights I've seen and I decided to give it a try. I like creative photography and thought this light could provide some useful and interesting effects for it. The price is a good indicator that it's not up to the task. However, it serves a few purposes worth considering. This is a LED projection lamp with a remote control to choose the color you want. This is no secret and it works exactly as you would expect. The light is USB powered with a barrel connector and the remote control is powered by a single 2025 battery which is included. The lamp is small and comes with a miniature tripod, making it easy to hide in a small space. It is positioned as useful for photography and I had my doubts about the price. The problem is that the LED is blinking. Most of the time it fires faster than the human eye can see, but a digital camera can see it clearly, and if the timing is wrong and the shutter speed is set too fast, the flash will negatively affect the exposure. For the videographer, the impact is even greater. One problem I found with this unit, although fixable, was a horrible color fringing effect on the edge of the projected circle. This is because the lens is slightly off center either when shipped or due to misalignment during shipping. There are two small screws on the front of the device and loosening them allows the lens to be centered, basically eliminating the effect. As a light source, this is a decent device that works. Despite being called a sunset projection light, it is capable of rendering non-sunset colors such as blue, green, fuchsia, and others. This can come in handy when you want to create a certain mood in your home or when you need inexpensive colored light for a dramatic performance or display (e.g. a Halloween display). I don't exactly recommend this light for photography and video because of the flash, and anyone who works with photography or video should understand that the price of this device is much lower than a device without a flash. Precisely because it is being sold for photography I am giving it a lower rating. However, if you need decorative lighting, this is an affordable choice that works very well.

Pros
