A few years ago I saw a machine somewhere online, in a catalog, or in
a store. It might have been The Sharper Image (this is not meant to
promote that store in any way). The idea was that you would turn this
machine on at night and it would project an image onto your ceiling.
The image would be that of peaceful blue water slowly rippling across
the ceiling, as if you were underwater looking up.

Where can I buy this now? It's not the multi-color oil projector wheel
that you can find all over the place. It's something I've been looking
for for over ten years now.

<There are a number of projectors on the market that give rippling
water effects.

Chauvet Abyss Water Effects Light simulates rippling water. It costs
$144.95. A photo showing the effect it gives is shown at

Aquatron, made by TEI is a simulated water projector. It simulates the
look of a pool of water. http://www.teilighting.com/

The catalogue shows a picture of the machine and the effect it gives.

I was looking for something to be used in a residential environment --
that is, not a stage device -- anything else?

<After an extensive search the only lamp that I could find for use in
a domestic setting was the water colors light and sound sculpture
which costs $28.99 and projects onto the ceiling.

This researcher was unable to answer my question, however I do not
believe that this is due in any way to any negligence or apathy on the
part of the researcher. I am becoming increasingly convinced that my
question is invalid. The researcher seems to have made an
extraordinary effort.
