Great theory, but that apparently wasn't "it".

I just tried imgbb.com (resized everything to 640x480) and still no joy.

You only need to copy and paste the links, not the actual pictures.

Nope, still no joy.

Let's try four images:


This is the 4 in 1 Star Projector itself.


And this is the remote control that comes with it.




Green laser "stars".

OK, let's try the full review in a new post sans origin URL (because I now suspect that that's what this BBS might be puking on)

What we have here is the 4 in 1 Star Projector by Rossetta. Although its primary projector matrix uses LEDs, it DOES have a green laser "star" projector, so it is at least somewhat germane to the theme of this website. : -D

It comes in a largish plastic body that resembles a dinosaur egg.

Plug the small end of the USB cable into the receptacle for it on the back of the "egg", and plug the larger end into any free USB-A receptacle on your computer or into a USB power adapter like the type you might charge a cellular telephone handset with. It should spring to life at this point.

Remove the upper portion of the "egg" which will expose the prismatic optic over the LEDs and the small circular hosel protecting the green laser.

I don't feel like writing an instructional manual, so I'll refer you to the one that comes with the product.

Product was not designed to use batteries, but the remote was. So here's how to deal with that:

On the back of the remote, slide the battery hatch off toward the tail-end, remove it, and set it aside.

If necessary, remove and dispose of, recycle, or recharge the two used AAA cells as you see fit.

Install two new AAA cells into the chamber, orienting them so that their flat-ends (-) negatives face the springs for them in each compartment.

Slide the battery hatch back on, and be done with it.


The 4 in 1 Star Projector is a laser & LED projector, so the punishments I normally bestow upon lighting products will not be given to this product. Lasers or products which lase are meant to be loved, mot punished.

There is an app for Android cellular telephone handsets called, "Smart Night Light" that allows you to change all kinds of visual and audio parameters.

Green laser "stars".
