Product Information
Full details
The FX Lab 15-inch mirror ball is designed for event planners, home entertainers, and club owners looking to achieve a classic disco atmosphere. Its primary benefit is the projection of hundreds of reflective light beams when paired with an external spotlight, creating an immersive, dynamic environment for parties or weddings. A notable caveat is that the unit does not include a motor or mounting hardware, requiring a separate investment in a heavy-duty motor to achieve the signature rotating effect.

FAQs
Does this mirror ball come with a motor?
No, the FX Lab 15-inch mirror ball must be paired with a separate heavy-duty mirror ball motor for rotation.
Can I hang this from a standard ceiling hook?
You should use specialized, load-rated mounting hardware and ensure the ceiling structure can support the weight of the ball and the motor.
What size are the mirror facets?
Each facet measures 5mm by 5mm.
Is the ball heavy?
It features a lightweight plastic core, but always consult the product weight specifications to ensure your motor and mounting point are rated for the total weight.
How do I ensure the ball doesn't fall?
Always use the included safety eye to attach a safety chain or steel cable to a secure, independent anchor point on your mounting structure.
Troubleshooting
The mirror ball is not rotating
Check that the mirror ball motor is powered on and that the axle is securely inserted into the motor housing.
Light reflections are dull
Clean the mirror facets with a microfiber cloth and ensure the light source is positioned correctly to hit the center of the ball.
Ball is wobbling during rotation
Ensure the ball is perfectly balanced on the motor axle and that the motor is mounted level to the ceiling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the glass facets with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could cloud the mirror finish.
