I almost boxed it back up to send back. So frustrated. I gave it one more shot and voila. It sits literally a centimeter off the base. Earlier I had my face too close and when it moon jumped smacked me in nose. This is day four off getting irritated and stopping. You definitely need to persevere . The comments helped too as I know I’m not the only one that can’t get it to balance. Keep trying. It’s a cool lamp and feature.
I thought I forgot how to balance it, then I got it, but realized that it was broken, it was flickery and didn't rotate like it did. But your tutorial still helped, thank you. Edit: it was the power cable that was garbage, I got it fixed now.
OMG, I am contemplating on buying one for my daughters. After your comments i am wondering whether i should pursue this thought or go for something else instead.
I found a foolproof way to get it levitating is to cut out a template the same size as the base and cut a 7/8” diameter hole in the template. Tape the template to the base and it levitates immediately. I used a piece of 1/8” panel for the template, but expect cardboard should work also
I managed to get it to work once. So far though even with the power on, it rejects the attempts to center. Taunts me with each very loud clack as the magnet yanks it to the side with a rather sudden impact. I'm wondering if this thing needs to warm up or something before the magnet starts working properly.
The one in the video works as soon as its turned on, but there is certainly a knack to it. Sometimes I'll get it on first time, sometimes I need a few go's.
@@robertwilsoniii2048 Mine has to warm up before I can use it unfortunately. but beyond that it stays functional nonstop unless the power cuts out and I forget that it makes a loud sound when loosing power.
Great video. I agree, that holding the base firmly to the surface helps. Just take your time, dont rush it. At some point you might even feel the ridges of axels. Like an X and Y ones. Ps I had to watch this video to make it levitate however my sisters have just put it into place straightaway lol
God bless You Tube instruction videos !!!😂 I have a question: In the very minimal instructions, it says #8 While the Moon is successfully suspended, you can control the "moonlight" by gently tapping the power marks on the base." Anyone have any idea what that is about? I'm not seeing any "power marks on the base"...?? Very cool item. Wish there was a way to adjust the spin.....slower and options to just let it float without the spin.
Update - I watched another video and discovered there is a VERY subtle spot indicated near one of the corners on the base and if you very gently touch it, there will be a slight shift on brightness. So I guess I solved the question.
Could you please give me some more tips?… I cannot get it on the base? Unfortunately and I’m getting frustrated… please help me? Kind regards, Dona from Belgium
All tips I have are in the video. It can take a bit of practice, sometimes I do it first time, sometimes I need a couple of go's. Getting frustrated will certainly make it harder so the O ly extra tip I'd have is to step back for 5 minutes and approach it again when not frustrated. Good luck!
@@jesterc.6763Hello! I'm still not sure if my response actually made it through. The thing that comes with it in the box has the following output parameters: 12.0V-1.0A Max 12.0W C.V.
I wouldn't recommend setting electronics directly on the magnetic base, but otherwise shouldn't be any issue. Seems like it's just a ring of neodymium magnets.
I have had great luck by making a cardboard template the size of the base and cut a 7/8" diameter in the center and tape the template to the base. Then you just move the moon over the template and the magnetic field locates the center of the moon instantly. For me actually I made a template out of a piece of 1/8" thick paneling. I keep it on hand and it works every time first time.
You left out the most important step where you give up and either 1) return this for a refund, 2) throw it in the trash out of frustration. Floating this thing is similar to doing the "Rope Ladder Climb" at the State Fair. In my case, this was a gift so I had to make it work. My only suggestions are to get down at eye level (like your video) and just keep moving it around with both hands until the pull downward from the magnets disappears and the globe lights up. Maybe grab a cool drink and prepare to spend up to the next 30 minutes trying to get it to float

I felt so stupid looking up this video. But after a couple of minutes, I finally got it.

F'ing frustrating!!!

We are struggling so bad! Had about 50 attempts (no lie) and still cannot do it

@IslamIsTheSolution98I want to get my dad one for Christmas. Is this a scam?
@@NICKandJAMEScomedynope, got one for Christmas, it’s really not thet hard

You literally save my life, idnt knew how to put it in the right place

It’s impossible. I’ve tried …. My husband tried… my son has tried…. Its like a tunics cube😒
Rubics cube
😂 Terrorized by the clack of the floating moon.

@@besthomeplanetarium there is no other explanation 🤷🏼♂️
what is consumption of power?
It worked. Thanks for the explanation!

What a frustrating nightmare this thing is only had it working once feel like stamping on the dam thing.

Likewise! I empathize with you, as I am having the same problem! 😢
Hi! Whats the power suppply output that came with your globe? I got mine and i lost the cord and im not sure what the ratings are.
Thank you ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
I have one of these and I loved it but how come it will only spend clockwise, if I start it counterclockwise it stops?
Is it 3d printer or injection molded ? Or blow molded
I just wanted to know that
Does it light up automatically? Or it needs to be dim to see if glow?
Lights up automatically, best seen in a low light environment.
Very tedious but I finally got it
Helped me! Thank you!
Whats your power supply output? I lost mine and i dont know what the specs are. 😅
@@jesterc.6763 Hello! The one from the box I have has the following output parameters: 12.0V 1.0A Max 12.0W C.V.

@@vladzakh11 thank you so much!
@@jesterc.6763Hello! Just wanted to check up quickly. Have you had any luck finding the power cable and using the lamp?🙏🏻
Thank you!
Is the magnet damaging to electronics like an iPhone?
I wouldn't recommend setting electronics directly on the magnetic base, but otherwise shouldn't be any issue. Seems like it's just a ring of neodymium magnets.
Here's my issue once the bulb blows out you can't replace it. 50-60$ Down the Drain. Can you replace the bulb after it dies?
I don't think so, the moon appears to be a sealed item.
Is there any sound while using it?
Nope
Do you have to wait for it to light up?
It should light up when nearing the correct position over the base, assuming you've turned the base on.
Brother, from where can I buy and can I make it at home?
You want to make one??
a lamp that did both light up even for a second
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
I cant do it for shit. I let go gently and it just whacks it
SAME OMG

Sometimes it aligns perfectly with no hassle and sometimes I spend near 10 minutes trying to align the damn thing😅
😂 True!
Yeah I had it work once. Now no matter what I do, it doesn't work. It yanks to the side EVERY TIME.
I tried 10 times but no luck 🥺
Fixing to send mine back because it won't work

I literally spent hours multiple times a day to get this damn thing to float. I decided it wasn't worth it, I trashed this peace of shittt.
How moon get power for lamp ?
Just like the moon if the moon visibly wobbled constantly.
When the power goes out the moon hits the floor
Is this even possible?
