yeah, I've trying but I'm telling you, it need a LOT of leds if you are going to make a big lamp, ex. I've made a tiny one using a matches box, and a super powerfull led, but it just need more powerfull light to make the effect. I'll keep thinking on this
Just wondering if when you punched the holes it was in a pattern to imitate real constellations? I have lots of nice coffee cans and I could got to say, the Hubble site, print out some constellations and make nice cheap night lights for my grand kids.

No, I didn't but that's a grat idea, you can also print an astral chart for the outside.

I would like to make something like this but I am just wondering if it is safe... I am a freak when it comes to safety and I don't want any accidents to happen if I have the chance to make this. But it is a wonderful project and the fact that it is so easy to do... I love it!

I've done it many times. I am always looking for a box to make it. The effect that you have when making circle moviment's makes you think your in the sky. I used to make with LED's but I'll try doing with the light. It is secure only with LED's anf Flourescent Lights... Hope you enjoy!

This is a great Instructable. I especially like the use of different needles to make stars of different brightnesses.
You could put real constellations into the design by sticking a star chart to the box. You could then use different size needles to poke through each of the stars according to their brightnesses.
A search for "star maps" on Google should bring up lots of sites where you can generate a star map for your location. This is a good one. Otherwise, search for your favourite constellation on Wikipedia.

yes! that was the idea on the beginning!!! but the prototype ended so good that i published like it is try it! the hardest thing is to make it look nice in the outside when is hanging in the day I mean you can paint it like the a sky map with the airbrush or something but it don't happen to like it
Very nice, I'd suggest a fluorescent light myself.

yes I've been thinking of that so I've changed the instructable, also as the box is almost sealed, the fridge lamp just burn out!!!,other cardboard or paper lamps, like the chinese ones, are well ventiladed with openings.
>so use flourescent or leds only<

thanks! is my 1st one, I think it can be improved nicely with some colours lamps or leds, also I've found some optic fiber, it would be a cool adition, but the idea is make it simple.
