Add a Feel of Luxury to Your Living Space with Starlight Acoustic Panels
Imagine lying back as hundreds of tiny stars shimmer softly above you, creating your own private sky right inside your home. The StarEFX™ PULSE experience embodies the future of starlight acoustic panels and APP control features, inspiring a new era of innovation and creativity.
Designed for those seeking more than just star lights, PULSE combines the classic, shimmering and twinkling fibre-optic stars with sound-absorbing acoustic material to create spaces that look stunning, sound incredible, and feel truly tranquil.
Along with starry night lights, the PULSE offers over 170 animations, all controlled via an app.
Whether it’s your home theatre, bedroom, wellness space, or child’s sensory room, PULSE turns an ordinary wall or ceiling into an extraordinary feature.
Key Features & Benefits
Dual-Function Design
- Seamlessly combines premium acoustic performance with integrated fibre-optic starlight illumination, delivering both beauty and function in one intelligent system.
Authentic Starry-Night Effect
- Each panel features 40 individually placed fibre-optic points; no two panels are identical, creating a mesmerising, natural shimmer that captures the magic of a starry night sky.
Superior Sound Absorption
- Constructed from high-density polyester acoustic fibre, the panels effectively reduce echo, absorb noise, and enhance audio clarity, making them ideal for home theatres, studios, and high-end listening spaces.
Smart RGB Control
- Take full control of your StarEFX lighting with app-based management. Adjust colours, brightness, and explore 170+ dynamic lighting effects to match your mood or setting.
Flexible Installation
- Ceiling mounted onto battens for secure fixing or walls, or fitted seamlessly into standard suspended-ceiling grids.
Modular & Scalable
- Up to 30 panels can be daisy-chained from a single PS-12V-5A power supply, allowing you to expand coverage across larger rooms or custom layouts easily.
The Perfect Balance of Light and Sound
Each PULSE panel features 40 fibre-optic light points powered by advanced LEDs that can be adjusted to suit your mood or environment.
With over 170 animation effects from soft twinkles to dynamic starlight movement you’re in full control of how your ceiling comes to life. Choose subtle, slow transitions for relaxation, or vibrant sequences that energise a room.
Beneath the lighting, a dense acoustic polyester core absorbs echo and reduces harsh reflections. The result is a space that not only looks extraordinary but sounds clearer, richer, and more comfortable ideal for home theatres, studios, wellness rooms, or any setting where atmosphere matters.
Installation Guide
For best results, mount StarEFX panels onto structural battens or framing to provide a secure fixing surface. Each panel should be fastened with six screws and finished with the supplied cavity plugs for a neat appearance.
Panels are powered via a daisy-chain link system, where each panel connects to the next using the included power link cable. Only the first panel in the chain connects directly to the power supply.
A single 12V, 5A power supply can power up to 30 StarEFX panels in one continuous run. For colour and animation control, the Wi-Fi controller is required and integrates with the StarEFX App for custom lighting effects and scheduling.
Both the power supply and WiFi controllers are sold separately.
Power Supply: Power Supply 12V, 5A
WiFi Controller: StarEFX APP WiFi Controller
Installation note: Direct fixing to plasterboard may be suitable in certain cases if the ceiling is securely supported by joists or furring channels; however, battens are recommended for consistent alignment and long-term stability.
Suspended Ceiling Integration
In addition to traditional mounting options, StarEFX soundproof panels are compatible with suspended ceilings. This makes them an excellent solution for spaces where easy access to utilities above the ceiling is necessary, all while benefiting from acoustic dampening and starry lighting. These acoustic star ceiling panels seamlessly integrate into suspended ceiling grids, offering a clean, professional look without compromising on their visual or acoustic performance.

FAQ's
Is it safe for bedrooms or childcare facilities?
Yes. PULSE panels run on a safe, low voltage (12V, DC) system with absolutely no heat or live current at the fibre-optic points. They meet Australian Fire Rating AS5637.1-2015 (Group 1), making them approved for use in residential and sensitive commercial environments, including childcare centres (Building Classes 9a, 9b & 9c).
What else do I need to buy to make them work?
The PULSE panels are sold individually so you can customize your layout. To power them and control the effects, you will need to add:
-
A Power Supply (Power Supply 12V, 5A), which can run up to 30 panels.
-
A Wi-Fi Controller (StarEFX WiFi App Controller) to unlock the 170+ animations and App control.
Can I install it myself?
Yes, it is designed for modular installation. Panels can be laid directly into standard suspended ceiling grids, or screw-fixed onto ceilings. For plaster ceilings, we highly recommend installing battens first to ensure long-term stability and alignment.
Note: While the 12V panel connection is DIY-friendly, you will need a licensed electrician if you require a new 240V power outlet installed in your ceiling cavity.
Will the stars look repetitive if I use many panels?
No. A key feature of the PULSE system is that no two panels are identical. The 40 fibre-optic points on each panel are randomly placed to ensure that when you connect multiple panels, you get a natural, non-repetitive starry sky effect.
Does it actually improve acoustics?
Yes. The core is constructed from high-density polyester acoustic fibre which effectively absorbs sound reflections. This reduces echo and "harsh" noise in rooms like home theatres, studios, and open-plan living areas, resulting in clearer, warmer audio.
How many panels can one power supply run?
You can daisy-chain up to 30 PULSE panels in a continuous run off a single 5A power supply (PS-12V-5A).
