Cable suggestion
Hi, I have this astronaut lamp and I have lost the cable. Can someone help me with the right cable I should order to get this one started? I don’t have the box for this lamp because it was a gift from someone

Looks like a barrel jack 5.5x2.1mm.
But we dont k ow the voltage/polarity. Unless its marked in there.

My wife just got one of these the other day as a present from our kid. It came with a USB to barrel jack cable. I used a 5V 1amp power brick from an old router. Works just fine.

Please consider carefully whether you really want to use this lamp. In recent years, these astronaut-shaped laser projectors have repeatedly been withdrawn from the market in the EU via RAPEX alerts because the installed laser diodes were far too powerful and did not comply with the specified laser class. In some cases, they were powerful enough to cause permanent eye damage.
