1W warm white LED for projecting the optical image.Attractive spherical industrial design only 12cm wide and 771g in weight (1.7 lbs).There's also no way to control it remotely - you have it set for "on" or in 15-minute, 30-minute, or 60-minute sessions.

Unfortunately, you can't integrate the two because this product is purely mechanical, and there's no Bluetooth or WiFi integration with Alexa, Google, or Siri. The integrated timer is also suitable for listening to a sleep story for apps like Calm, which have 30-minute audio segments. I like using this product in the bedroom or on my covered patio because it's most usable at night in a very dark room, and its light projector is bright enough to see the star formations but not so bright as a laser that will keep you up at night. In addition to star fields, Sega also sells Homestar discs representing other astronomical formations, such as nebulas, galaxies, planets, and even jellyfish. There are also third parties that also make discs for the unit besides Sega, such as Miller Engineering.

Sega (via its Sivesco subsidiary) has been in the home planetarium business since 2006.

The product was designed in conjunction with Japanese astronomer/engineer Takayuki Ohira (TED Talk), the inventor of the Megastar, a professional laser-based planetarium projector that can show the most stars in the world. Using a patented photographic process similar to microfiche, the Homestar Flux uses analog removable discs with very high resolution, simultaneously showing as many as a million distinct stars. Why is this product so expensive? We can start with the build quality and components. However, it's also the most expensive product on our list at $259. If you're looking to represent a night sky for an authentic home planetarium experience, the Sega Toys Homestar Flux is your answer.
