Review: 3D Solar System Crystal Ball with LED Touch Base

I’m always looking for interesting decorations for my home office setup, and this 3D Solar System Crystal Ball with LED Touch Base definitely falls into that category.

In the box you get the glass globe with embedded three-dimensional solar system design, platform that can be powered with the included microUSB cable and any USB power source or via three AAA batteries (not included), and a ribbon in case you want to turn the packaging into a gift. That’s it. No manual or other instructions. Fortunately, operation is simple.

After powering the base, you place the crystal ball on it, You can then cycle through white, red, purple, or green light. If you hold down the button, it will automatically cycle through the colors, including some additional colors and mixes. With any of the lights active, it’s easy to see the fine details within the globe, including the names of the sun and major planets.

At roughly 3 inches tall and wide, this is not the biggest desktop decoration, but it does look nice. Overall, it’s an interesting addition if you’re looking for something a bit different to display and look at.
