Disco balls catch light beams and reflect them across a room or dance floor. They are covered with tiny mirrors that catch the light and create multi-directional beams as they rotate from a fixed spot. There are plain and multicolored mirror balls available. Disco balls are commonly used to set the mood in nightclubs, discos, and dance parties. Most models used in discos are five to 18 inches in diameter, while smaller balls are often sold as decorations or novelty items.
Hanging Disco Balls are suspended from ceilings and rotated from mounts or cables. They are usually large and used in large venues such as halls and auditoriums. They are often placed in the middle of dance floors.
Tabletop Disco Balls rotate from swivel mounts on top of tables. The mounts may have speed controls and programmable patterns. They are often mounted near DJ consoles and on bar tables.
Choosing Disco Balls (Buying Tips)
Mirror size: Choose a DJ ball with smaller mirrors to create finer beams of light. This is ideal for dance floors and accent lighting because they complement the flood lights. For general illumination, look for bigger mirrors for brighter and more focused lighting.
Weight: Choose a lightweight disco ball to prevent it from falling when suspended from the ceiling. This will help it stay in place during fast rotations. Use stronger, heavy-duty cables to support heavier balls.
