A small light can change how a whole room feels, and the OPTIKinetics Solar 80 is built to prove it. This compact wifi sensory projector fills walls, ceilings and curtains with slowly moving colour and pattern, and it's just as much at home in a child's bedroom as it is in a classroom calm corner or a therapy suite. Families, educators and occupational therapists across North America choose it when they want a genuinely portable projector that still delivers a sharp, clear image.

Wifi Control and Voice Command for Effortless Setup

The Solar 80 connects to your home or facility wifi through the free OPTI Kinect app, so you're never fumbling with a manual dial in a darkened room. Voice control through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant means a caregiver, teacher or therapist can adjust the light without breaking the calm they've just created.

• Built-In Motor and Wireless Control - No separate rotator to buy or wire up, so setup takes minutes and there's less for little hands to bump or unplug during use
• App-Controlled Dimming, Speed and Direction - Fine-tune brightness down to 10 percent and adjust rotation speed and direction from a phone, which makes it easy to match the light to a child's mood in the moment
• On/Off Timers and Schedules - Set the projector to switch on for wind-down time or off after a session ends, supporting predictable, calming routines without anyone needing to remember a manual switch
• Scene and Group Control - Save favourite settings and control multiple OPTI devices together, useful for therapy rooms or classrooms running more than one sensory light source
• Unique Compact Lens System - Delivers a sharp, crisp projected image despite the Solar 80's small footprint, so image quality isn't a trade-off for portability

Why Visual Sensory Input Matters for Focus and Calm

Moving light and colour offer gentle visual stimulation that many people find calming and easy to focus on, whether or not they have a diagnosed sensory processing difference. Occupational therapists often recommend visual input like this as part of a broader sensory diet, while classrooms use it to support calm corners and quiet transitions. The Solar 80's dimmable, adjustable light also works well simply as an evening wind-down tool for any child or adult who enjoys a softer, more atmospheric space.

Compatible with 6 Inch SNAP and Effect Wheels

The projector accepts 6" SNAP and effect wheels in both magnetic and post styles, sold separately, giving you an extensive range of scenes to choose from for calming visuals, reminiscence prompts, conversation-starting imagery or simple decorative interest.
