Kikkerland Solar Rainbow Maker — Heart-Shaped Rotating Prism Suncatcher, Clips to Window

The Kikkerland Solar Powered Rainbow Maker is a heart-shaped prism suncatcher that uses sunlight to rotate and cast moving rainbow patterns around your room without batteries.

Bring sunlight indoors with a playful, low-maintenance decorative piece from Kikkerland. Designed by David Dear, this heart-shaped Rainbow Maker converts natural light into dynamic rainbow projections using a tiny solar motor and a faceted crystal. It clips to windows with a suction cup and spins like a mini disco ball, scattering colorful refractions that change with the sun’s angle and room lighting.

How does the Rainbow Maker create moving rainbows?

The device uses a small solar panel connected to a motor that slowly rotates a faceted crystal prism. As the crystal turns, it refracts incoming sunlight into shifting bands of color that appear on walls, floors, and ceilings. No wiring or batteries are needed; direct sunlight will produce the strongest effect.

• solar panel drives a quiet motor for continuous rotation
• multi-faceted crystal prism splits light into vivid rainbows
• suction cup mounts directly to sunny windows for optimal exposure
• rotation speed varies with light intensity for dynamic patterns

What should I do if my Rainbow Maker isn’t producing rainbows?

Common issues are low light, a dusty solar cell, or an obstruction in the gear mechanism. Clean the solar panel and prism with a soft cloth, ensure full sun hits the panel, and gently inspect for jammed parts. If needed, reposition the suction cup to a brighter window or temporarily place it outside to charge.

• clean solar panel and crystal with a microfiber cloth
• avoid shaded windows and position where direct sun reaches the panel
• check for dust or debris in the crystal gear and clear gently
• ensure suction cup is sealed and the unit faces incoming light

How easy is installation and everyday use?

Installation takes seconds: press the included suction cup to a clean, dry pane and adjust the heart prism so sunlight strikes the solar cell. Because it’s solar powered, there are no batteries to change and it’s fully portable — move it between windows or rooms to chase the sun. The unit is lightweight and easy to remove without tools.

• includes suction cup for simple window mounting
• no batteries, no plugs — environmentally friendly operation
