FAQs
What size spotlight should I use?
A focused spotlight or pin spot typically works best. The size and intensity will depend on the room size and desired effect. Experiment to find what works for your space.
How is the cylinder powered?
The mirror cylinder itself does not require power. It relies on an external light source to create the reflection effect.
Can I use this outdoors?
Yes, it can be used outdoors for events like barbecues, provided it is protected from direct rain and extreme weather conditions. Ensure it is securely hung.
What are the dimensions of the cylinder?
The product is described as a 40cm cylinder.
How heavy is the cylinder?
The cylinder is made from lightweight foam, making it easy to handle and hang.
How do I attach it for hanging?
It comes with an integrated hanging point. You will need to provide your own suitable hanging mechanism, such as string, chain, or a hook.
Can I clean the mirror facets with glass cleaner?
It is recommended to use a soft, dry microfiber cloth for dusting. For smudges, use a slightly damp cloth with water only and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or standard glass cleaners, which may damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Cylinder does not reflect light well.
Ensure a spotlight or focused light source is directed at the cylinder. Check that the mirror facets are clean and free from dust or smudges. Adjust the angle of the cylinder or the light source.
Hanging point feels loose.
Inspect the hanging point for any damage. Do not exceed the recommended weight limit for the hanging mechanism. If damaged, cease use and consider repair or replacement.
