I have some rad laserlights for night time too but I can’t figure out how to add a video

I’ll be enjoying DS3 out here Saturday night

Light on lights off

I have use of converted cistern area, all sealed and cinder blocked. I'm currently painting/sealing the cinderblock walls and cement ceiling and shelf. What finishing colors would anyone recommend for the walls and for the shelves? I don't think I want the room to be just white, even though I'll be hanging stuff. I was thinking of a darker grey for the walls... thoughts?

Yes I know the desk is messy and the carpets are stained. Working on cleaning. please be nice. It’s a very old house. 😅 honestly just taking any suggestions, whether it be products or how to rearrange things, my room is very weirdly shaped. Looking at getting galaxy projectors, uv tapestries, 365nm lights to really make it pop. Also beanbag chairs and gonna make a game setup. Thinking of moving the bed to where the desk is then getting rid of it, that way I have room to put stuff on the big wall. See pic 4.

Greetings, fellow Trippers!

I have moved into my house not long ago and am so excited about setting up a trip cave! My previous trip cave was the (real) night sky, where my apartment had full floor to ceiling windows and doors on one side. The house I have moved into unfortunately has no such luxury, but this presents an opportunity for a fun space (plus alot less sunlight when day breaks 😆)

I am looking for this sort of lamp - a google image search brings up a number of different sellers - are they all the same product, but with marked up prices?!

They range from $25 - $100 AUD. Have seen some very mixed reviews on amazon, ebay etc saying poor quality materials and lights and colours are not very bright.

Anyone on reddit have one?

I know of Lucid Bazaar, but they are probably a little out of my price range and I am also located in Australia which means the voltage and powerplug will be different.

So, I've been looking at projectors and such for years. What I always REALLY wanted was a recreation of the night sky. Just stars on a black background. . .but that seems difficult. Any projectors that did that were very expensive, or the projector would leak light and make the whole room kind of 'grey' in addition to projecting the stars. Mostly, it was both. I just wanted stars in the dark.

I got a couple blisslight bulbs for fun. Green and blue (they used to sell blue ones) laser projectors that fit in standard lightbulb sockets and made a bunch of colored laser dots. They were kind of gridlike, you could easily see a pattern. When I had both bulbs on though, it made the grid much less obvious, even though they were different colors. So, I bought a couple more. Two blue and two green Blisslight bulbs looked pretty good. No gridlike pattern, but it didn't cover the entire ceiling in as dense a pattern as I wanted. I used them for awhile, and decided I would like a couple more blue bulbs. Whoops! They stopped selling them! I looked for a year, couldn't find one, not even on Ebay. Green ones, but no blue ones.

I finally broke down and decided to buy one of the Blisslight USB laser projectors in green. It worked pretty good - almost identical to the old bulb format, but in a smaller package. Now the stars were looking better. . .if I added a couple more, I could get great coverage and a dense star pattern. . .so I bought two more of the green USB laser projectors.

Fantastic! Now I had 2 blue Blissbulbs, 2 green Blissbulbs, and 3 green USB projectors! Pretty good density, looking great. . .except, boy, I really wish I had more blue. There was a lot of green, and I didn't have enough blue to mix it well. It was patchy. So, I went to Ebay.

I picked up a Bliss Light SPRIGHT MOTION Firefly Light Projector, in blue. They're used to light up outdoor displays/houses. They're discontinued as well, but someone must have bought up the entire remaining supply, they're selling for $34.99 and they appear to have a bunch. So now, I've got:

• 2 blue Blissbulbs

• 2 green Blissbulbs

• 3 green Blisslights Starport USB projectors

• 1 blue SPRIGHT MOTION Firefly Light Projector

MAYBE it's overkill, but I love it.

I have a bad picture of it. The thing is, this picture makes it look like the ceiling's blue. It's not, it's dark, but the lasers are so bright in the dark that the camera makes the blue bleed everywhere. So you have to use your imagination a bit, just see the blue and green dots and know that everything is dark in-between.

It's kind of a Milky Way galaxy of green and blue stars.

The Spright Motion Firefly projector can make the stars move around, but I mostly have them static - unless I put on "Carpet Crawlers" by Genesis, then I make them crawl all around the ceiling among the other, static dots from the other laser projectors. :)

This is the office/gaming room/trip cave 1

Found it on Etsy. Manufactured by Liminal Lighting, each side is 8 inches by 8 inches. Still exploring all of the different effects, and I think it might be possible to upload my own artwork. I would like another one so I could have one by each speaker, but it is a bit pricey, around $200.
