The Star Lab has been an invaluable educational tool for us over the years. More and more research comes out each year supporting the conclusion that hands-on, experiential learning is more effective than sitting at a desk and listening to a lecture. If that is true, and I believe wholeheartedly that it is, then the Star Lab is an excellent way to provide that sort of education!

I don't think anyone is going to wipe the smile off of my face for a while. I know all of my students would thank you also, they love the dome and have told me how much it has not only helped them understand the astronomy standards I am teaching, but they now have a new interest in exploring the sky at night. Thanks again!

Introducing the latest innovation to our world-famous STARLAB®! Weve turned to the most advanced lighting technology available today: light emitting diodes, or LEDs. Instead of filaments or tiny balls of plasma, these devices produce light by exciting a silicon chip. This means that there are no filaments to burn out and no excessive heat damage to lamps! The lifetime of the main lamp on our LED projector is now thousands of hours (as opposed to tens or hundreds). Need a new lamp? Simply order a ready-made housing with wires and lenses pre-assembled, which installs in less time than it takes to change a bulb. Light output is comparable to the Fiberarc projector, with the simplicity of the standard. Like the Fiberarc, our new LED projector also includes meridian and cardinal points projectors. A blue LED illuminates the cardinal points, while a red LED lights the meridian . The side gooseneck LED lamps have a selectable white or red light output (white for illumination, red for reading). A quiet, variable speed motor operates in either direction to show Northern or Southern hemisphere motion. Each lighting control is dimmable for the perfect STARLAB® experience.
