Questions people ask

Is a nebula projector bright enough to use with the lights on?
These projectors show up best in a dark or dim room. With the lights on, the patterns usually look faint.

Many run from buttons or an included remote, while some add optional app control, so check the listing if the recipient prefers not to use a phone.
