FAQs
Does the mirror ball come with a motor or light?
No, the FXLAB Blue Mirror Ball is sold as the ball unit only. A separate motor for rotation and a light source are required to operate it.
What type of light is best to use with this mirror ball?
Spotlights, such as pin spots or PAR cans, are ideal as they create a focused beam that reflects effectively off the mirror facets.
How do I clean the coloured facets?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth for dusting. For more persistent smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water and wipe gently, then immediately dry with a separate clean cloth.
What is the size of the mirror facets?
The individual coloured mirrored facets measure approximately 10mm x 10mm.
Can I use this mirror ball outdoors?
This mirror ball is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to weather can damage the facets and construction.
How do I attach the mirror ball to a motor?
Most mirror balls have a loop or hook at the top. Simply attach this securely to the spindle or hook of a compatible mirror ball motor.
Troubleshooting
Mirror ball does not rotate.
Check that the mirror ball motor is properly connected to a power source and switched on. Ensure the mirror ball is securely attached to the motor spindle.
Light reflections are dim or uneven.
Verify that the spotlight is directly aimed at the mirror ball and that the beam is wide enough to cover a significant portion of its surface. Ensure the light source is powerful enough for the room size.
Facets appear dirty or smudged.
Gently clean the facets with a dry microfiber cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Mirror ball makes noise when rotating.
This may indicate an issue with the motor. Check the motor's mounting and lubrication points. If the noise persists, the motor may require servicing or replacement.
