In the Box
As well as the Sky Lit 2.0 you get a couple of power plugs which connect to the unit via a USB-C cable, you don’t have to plug it into a power outlet, the power plugs are optional.
That’s useful if you’ve an outlet or extension cable that has USB ports built in, it saves you clogging up a plug space.
There’s a manual, and that’s it. There isn’t a remote, the unit can be controlled either via the buttons on the device or via a mobile app.
The Sky Lite 2.0 is a nice looking device. It’s compact, made of plastic, and is designed to be pointed at a wall or ceiling.
Mobile Control
Setup is really simple, just power it up and away you go! If you want full control, you’ll need to download the companion app and pair the device to your mobile via Bluetooth.
To do so is just a matter of following the instructions in the app. You hold the power button for 6 seconds to place it into pairing mode. The app will scan for the device, and you’re done!
Controlling via app is a lot easier than trying to us buttons on the device and it gives you a lot of functionality you don’t normally get.
There are lots of preset scenes. Simply select the scene you want it will send it to the device. It responds quickly, changing from one scene to the next rapidly.
You can also set different lighting types, for example if the stars are on or off, or changing the nebula color between red, green and blue or a mixture.
As with similar products, the ‘stars’ are just dots projected, they don’t remotely represent the actual night sky.
If you don’t want to be messing with your mobile all the time, but you like different options, you can set it to cycle between the different modes.
If you want a specific look you’re in luck! There’s a DIY panel that lets you adjust the red, green, blue and brightness of stars.
Once you’ve got it set up, so it’s exactly as you want, you can then save the settings and take a photo of the projection, which becomes the card that you see within the app
This means you can quickly and easily swap between pre-set looks and you’re own personal settings at the touch of a button.
