Uncle Milton Rainbow In My Room

Good product for what it is, nothing more, but sometimes less...
I read through all the reviews currently for this product and it's easy to see that some people expected way too much from this toy.

It takes a bit of common sense to know that this thing's not going to light up a room with rainbows bright and sharp (even real rainbows are not super sharp and bright, depends on the water vapor and where you and the sun are), nor can it make rainbows that dance, move, etc- it just makes a pretty light that looks like a rainbow- that's it, nothing more.

Though in some people's cases, it may be less since some units don't work as well as the one I got as a gift. I have no complaints so far.

Mine works great and still does after my nearer-towards-rough handling (on purpose for durability reasons). It will break if you really try to, but it does hold up better than one might think flimsy plastic might.

It has two modes- instant on rainbow and one color at a time on rainbow (both modes turn off in the same manner as they turn on). It can take an AC adapter (search the net to find one, I didn't have much trouble) which will keep it on all the time. With batteries only, it turns off after ten minutes as the instructions say.

It's not a projector of any sorts (read the box, don't assume by looking at the box's art!). It's just a fancy nightlight with pretty colored LED bulbs that form a rainbow which are bright close up, but not far away.

It's good for what it is and only does so much. The art on the packaging is only there to grab your attention, not imply it can do all that 'projector-type' stuff when common sense tells you otherwise.

No where on the box does it say it's a projector. It does have somewhat deceptive packaging via the art, but we have to be smarter than that. Don't ever get tricked by assumptions of this or ANY product by what you simply see on the box. Always read first, then make your decision to buy or not.

So if you want a pretty nightlight to dazzle children (especially ones who love rainbows), you'll most likely make their day (or night as this light only works in dark rooms with lighter colored walls & ceilings, which my home is full of).

If you have a well-lit house with dark walls & ceilings- you probably won't get satisfactory results.

For me, I enjoyed my gift for what it is and have a pretty display of a rainbow arc on my wall near my computer desk at night whenever I want. :)

Great nightlight!
My daughter absolutely loves this light. It makes a brilliant rainbow on the wall and she falls asleep with sweet dreams.
The only draw back, is that the ac plug for the wall doean't come with it and I'm still looking for one to purchase. The light turns off after 10 mins. without a plug.
But I definitely recommend this to everyone and the small size fits perfect on any size nightstand.

Name sounds great - but that's it!
This "toy" sounds wonderful but it was the biggest disappointment! The device only displays a very light rainbow and it doesn't even rotate or anything. This thing sucks - waste of money. The picture makes it look like the rainbow rotates or displays more than one - not true. Talk about false advertising.

pretty cool
This is a present to my niece. She loved it and she said she wants to keep it on all night. Very interesting product. Amazon service is as usual very dependable and fast shipping.

a little rainbow
a little rainbow- too little actually, does not display enough light power to be seen much in daylight at all, needs to be used at night or dark area. It's OK but dont expect too much.
