Moredig Projector Night Light Review

Overview

The Moredig Projector is the ultimate "distraction tool" for parents of toddlers and fussy sleepers. At just over £10, it is the most affordable way to transform a nursery into a starry sky or an underwater world. While it feels a bit more like a "toy" than a high-end appliance, its ability to chill out a child who refuses to stay in bed is its biggest strength.

Adjustable Brightness: Placement is Key

Because this is a projector, the "brightness" experience depends entirely on where you put it.

• The Sweet Spot: Verified users recommend placing the unit about 1.5m high. If it's too low, the light can be "too glary" to look into; if it's too high, the images lose their sharp "jungle" or "space" definition on the ceiling.
• Visual Variety: It offers excellent colour combinations and clear shapes. However, be aware that it lacks a memory function. Every time you turn it on, you'll need a few seconds to cycle back to your child's favourite colour setting.
• Warm Glow Mode: With the cover on, it functions as a standard warm nightlight, providing enough light for safety without being too stimulating for sleep.

Battery Life: Use the USB!

The consensus from long-term reviews is clear: do not rely on standard batteries.

• The Battery "Killer": Running the rotation and lights on 4 AA batteries will often drain them in just a day or two. If you must go wireless, parents recommend using high-quality rechargeables or a cheap 5V power bank.
• The Pro Setup: Most successful users keep the unit plugged in via the included USB cable. This allows the light to run all night (or for a month straight) without any fading or interruption.
• Sound Bonus: It includes built-in music and white noise. While the volume on the lowest setting is still a bit loud for some, the "hum" of the rotation motor actually acts as a soothing white noise for many babies.

Ease of Use: Remote Control Relief

For a budget device, the inclusion of a remote control is a "major win" for parents.

• Stay in Bed: The remote allows you to turn off the light and music from the doorway (or your own bed) once the baby has drifted off, ensuring you don't risk a "creaky floorboard" wake-up.
• Timer Function: It supports a custom timer (up to 500 minutes), allowing the room to return to darkness automatically. A feature many parents find "brilliant" for energy saving.
• Build Quality: At this price point, the plastic feels a bit "on the cheaper side" and the buttons can be clicky, but the near-silent rotation and dual-theme scenes (Animals/Space) make it excellent value for money.
