It is also discussed whether the increased price compared to the predecessor is worthwhile. The following video compares the Homestar Flux with its predecessor, the Homestar Original. The Homestar Flux in video comparison to the Homestar Original

Accordingly, I can recommend to anyone who can’t decide between the two devices that he is better off taking a little more money into his hands and buying the slightly more expensive model. For this reason, it is my clear test winner despite its high price.Īfter I have used the Flux, I will probably not go back to the Homestar original. Moreover, in my eyes, it has by far the best representation of a starry sky. It could convince me by many functions, high quality, and the extent of the supplied accessories. Sega Toys writes rightly on its own website that the Homestar Flux is the most advanced model. I will explain the whole thing in more detail below.Ĭonclosure – Home planetarium Homestar Flux by Sega Toys Thus one can produce further projections than “only” the starry sky. It should also be mentioned that further discs can be purchased online. Even the Homestar Original could leave its competition in this category far behind. In this way, a so clear and realistic representation is possible, as with no other home planetarium, which I tested so far here. The Flux also has a slightly larger projection. With this type of lighting, the starry sky appears clearly visible even when the room is not completely dark or when the projector is placed a few meters from the ceiling.Īlso, only a minimal focus adjustment via the focus wheel is necessary, since the projection almost always appears extremely sharp. The big difference in terms of functionality, however, is due to the 5-watt lamp used in combination with the lenses made of optical glass. All buttons are illuminated, so you can see which of the functions is active even in the dark. This has been slightly improved and now looks more realistic. A shooting star function is also available. As with the previous model, the sound backdrop of the motor is only minimally noticeable. So you can watch the starry sky from your bed while falling asleep.Īnother button can be used to rotate the starry sky north or south. With these, you can set the planetarium to switch off automatically after 15, 30, or 60 minutes. The device can be easily switched on and off via a switch. Since the buttons are arranged in the same way, it also has the same functions as its predecessor.

The exterior is even nearly identical to the Homestar original concerning the shape and the existing buttons. The functionality at first glance does not differ from its predecessor or other planetariums.
