Come back in time with me to the swinging sixties and the psychedelic oil wheel projectors that would cast hypnotic images swirling over walls and ceiling.  Opti were one of the leaders in the market of projectors back in the day, and they have now been revised for a new audience.

The Optikinetics LED Solar 250 Projector is a wonderful addition to the household for individuals who partake in vision therapy. The LED Solar 250 had a reputation of having the build quality of an army tank, and the revised model continues that reputation, weighing in at 3.2 kg. Measuring 367 x 133 x 102 cm, it feels solid, stable and what I expected considering how long I have owned my old Solar 250 100.

When comparing the LED Solar 250 to the original Solar 100C, the first thing you notice is that this is a much quieter machine. It still produces a high-quality image, the 40W LED Module producing 2000 Lumens of light with a bright, white colour temperature of 4000K. It is easy to focus with a twist of the lens on the front of the machine, and the mount can be used to attach the projector to the ceiling, wall or any flat surface, and can also be used as a free stand so you can move the projector from room to room.

There are a range of effects available for the LED Solar 250 and they are split into three main groups: Effect Wheels (6 inch or 9 inch OPTI Max), Effect Cassettes (50mm or 3 inch) and Static 35mm Slides & 50mm Gobos. Additional Standard Wheels and Effect Cassettes are available on their website, but  they can custom-make gobos and effects in all sizes.

The LED Solar 250 manual offers clear instructions to novices but it is also an intuitive piece of kit that doesn’t take long to set up and operate. We were impressed by how quiet and cool the machine stayed, even after being switched on for a length of time. With an average module life of over 100,000 hours, the LED Solar 250 will not let you down; it’s a good, reliable projector that produces crisp and vibrant images that are a pleasure to behold.
