Please note: The star ceiling room on the right is lit only to show the bedroom but in reality your room must be dark.

Hi, if you have been looking around the net for glow in the dark stars to set up a star ceiling then you have found the right place. You will see very quickly that my unique and hand made star ceiling art is nothing like what you have seen until now. My XVR is a work of passion and dedication. Star ceiling products have built a reputation of being very cheesy and meant for 2 year olds and the stuff is everywhere. If you are an adult you don't want cheesy you want realistic, stunning, awe inspiring a truly brilliant night sky. Glowpatch star ceilings are crushing that bad reputation and bringing you just that, the ultimate star ceiling.

Star Ceilings - XVR-530 Overview

* Sleep under my unique and original star ceiling art with the ultimate glow in the dark star ceiling.

* Be amazed as any colour ceiling becomes the illusion of an incredible night sky in a set up time of around 90 minutes.

* Now with high movement technology your star ceiling will be alive with movement from the first few minutes right through the night and you won't need to move your head to see this effect.

* No more sensitivity to over charging like my previous versions, you can have your room light on as little or as much as you like and turn it off at the last second.

* 530 XVR stars per kit and 11 different intensity levels, this new star ceiling kit is the largest and best value of all my previous kits and they are all hand made and slightly different to the next.

Why my star ceilings work

If you are to look at the stars in the real night sky you will see variation, the real stars do not all look the same in size or intensity. So if you want to re-create the same look on your ceiling you will need a product that will supply this variation.

The table on the left shows the different glow strengths that you will receive with my XVR-530 and XVR-556 star ceiling kits. From the 8 micro star levels to the blue giants the glow in the dark stars in these kits will give you the variation needed to replicate the night sky.

This variation is now more refined with a much higher contrast between all the star levels giving the viewer an even more realistic star ceiling illusion. These new kits also have high movement glow in the dark stars so along with the stable variation levels you will also have ever changing variation, stars that appear a certain brightness one second will change to a different intensity the next and continue to do so throughout the night.

The more you slowly pan your eyes around your star ceiling the more stars you will see pulse out of the darkness only to disappear again and the cycle will continue.

Now you will not have to worry about which strength star to take first or second, simply follow my instructions below and take stars from the sets only in the direction shown and you can't go wrong. You can also take a look at my short video on placing these easy to use glow in the dark stars.

Along with the variation it is also critical that your ceiling looks black even if it's white to give you the illusion of black space. The XVR-530 star ceiling and the XVR-556 star constellation ceiling will provide the most black ceiling effect of all my kits giving you deep black space amongst your ever changing glow in the dark stars, a truly magnificent illusion!

Have this amazing and relaxing work of art on your ceiling and enjoy sleeping under the stars!

Separating your kit to make multiple star ceilings

One of the new features of my XVR-530 is the ability to separate the star kit to make two or three smaller star ceilings without any loss of brilliance or illusion. For details see my instruction below.

My star ceilings are unique and hand made

This is an actual time lapse photograph of a blue giant and L7 micro star as well as a daytime magnification so you can easily see the fully moulded shape but in reality they are very small. Each of these tiny mouldings is its own glow in the dark light source that requires no batteries or power supplies and when combined with the different intensities produce an awesome star ceiling effect that will shine for over 16 hours per night.

Hands On Production Process.

My glow in the dark stars are hand made individual mouldings that get bonded to a white glow reflective backing which has a self adhesive outer film. This is not a mass production process it is something that takes time to produce however this process allows me to control the colour, mass and intensity. This control is crucial in producing glow in the dark stars that will create the ultimate star ceiling illusion and is something that cheap mass produced bulky or sticker stars will never be able to achieve.

A comment from one of my customers that sums up my star ceiling

You can not believe that this little package can transform an entire room. Don't freak out when you see what arrives in the mail because it doesn't look like much. Simply follow the directions and enjoy.

No matter how many pictures you look at... you will never be able to appreciate how amazing these stars look. The stars on the ceiling in our daughters bedroom don't just look like little lights... the ceiling is transformed into a night sky with depth and distance... amazing simply amazing!

Star Ceiling Instructions - XVR-530 Micro Stars
1	Make sure your ceiling or wall is clean, dry and dust free before you place your stars or you will end up with some falling stars : )
2	Take stars from the micro star sets only in the direction shown. When you take the stars in the correct direction you will have 20 stars per row. Once you have taken a star it does not have to be placed in the same order on your ceiling it can go anywhere. Minimum distance between stars should be no closer than 25mm or 1 inch.
3	To take a star from the set you can use the tip of a box cutter blade (See pictures below & Video) this method will give you full control. If you want you can make the blade blunt before using it with a file or sandpaper as it's not important to have a sharp blade. You can also use your finger nail in place of the blade but it will be much slower.


4	Think of your ceiling in small sections this will keep you from putting too many stars in one area before moving on. On average there are 2 rows of 20 stars for each 8 to 9 sq feet. As an example one imagined 9sq ft section may have 27 stars and another may have just 11. simply vary the amount having less stars in some area's and more in others to keep your star field random and realitic. If your ceiling is huge and you only have one kit you can apply some low tack tape to the ceiling to mark out a temporary odd shaped area of 95sq feet and then bang the stars up all over the place within that area, its just a matter of doing whatever you want to fit the stars within the recommended area. Don't overthink it, you need to end up with a scattering of stars in each area that makes no sense with some stars closer and some further apart and the stars will do the rest. You can see the stars in this picture have no defined pattern they are all placed randomly and some are in random groups forming clusters. They do not follow the wall edge or go into the corners of the ceiling as that would give an unnatural effect, it's OK for some stars to come close to the wall but only random. Keep at least 100mm or 4" clearance from light fittings

	The Red lines refer to imaginery sections of ceiling they are not actual lines but if you think of your ceiling as small sections it will make it easy to fit the right amount of stars in that area. The small dots refer to the micro stars, medium dots refer to the super bright stars and 3 large dots refer to the blue giants. You can see how this room looks at night in my star photo article.
5	It's always best to fit the stars a little thinner to start with and then make any area's more busy after seeing the effect over the first night, this is the best way to get a perfect result. Have say 2 rows of stars left over from each kit and use these stars to make certain areas more busy after seeing the effect and working out where you want more. If the effect is great and you can't work out where to put them just spread the remaining stars anywhere over the full area.
6	Placing your glow in the dark stars takes an average of 90 minutes per XVR-530 star ceiling kit however some people are faster and some are slower.
7	The XVR Star Ceiling Kits are affected by interfering light just as with the real night sky, if there is a full moon the moonlight will drown out the real stars and the same applies with my micro stars. In order for the XVR to create a super realistic night sky it must be in a dark room. If your room is not dark enough some of your movement stars and faint stars will not be visible and you will not have your full star ceiling effect. Also see my guide about room set-up to ensure you see the correct effect.
	Star ceilings - Separating your XVR-530 Star Kit
	The 530 glow in the dark stars in each star ceiling kit come on two sets, 460 micro stars on one set and the super bright and light balance stars on the other. If you want to make say three star ceilings all you do is take 1/3rd of your micro stars and place them in an area of 3 square metres or 32 square feet. Then take 1/3rd of your super brights and randomly spread them within your star field. If you are doing two star ceilings then take 1/2 of your stars as above and place them within 4.5 square metres or 48 square feet. The only important thing you will need to do is not separate your stars out of there designed area, full kit 9sqm, 1/2 kit 4.5 sqm and 1/3rd kit within 3 sqm. These stars are designed to work with each other within an approximate area, thinning them out or packing them in to tight can take away from the effect so keep them within my above recommendation.
