FAQs
What size spotlight should I use?
The effectiveness depends on the room size and desired effect. A focused 50W to 150W spotlight is often sufficient for smaller to medium spaces. Experiment to find the best fit for your event.
Does it come with a light source?
No, the spotlight or lighting source is not included. You will need to provide your own.
How durable is the mirror glass?
The mirror glass facets are securely attached to a foam core. While designed for visual effect, avoid dropping or subjecting the cylinder to hard impacts.
Can I use this outdoors?
Yes, but it must be protected from the elements (rain, strong winds). It is best used in a covered outdoor area like a patio or gazebo.
What is the best way to clean the mirror facets?
Gently dust with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth with plain water and immediately dry with a soft cloth.
How heavy is the mirror cylinder?
The cylinder is constructed from lightweight foam, making it very light and easy to hang.
Troubleshooting
No light reflection or weak effect.
Ensure a spotlight is directly aimed at the cylinder. Check that the spotlight is bright enough and properly focused. Adjust the angle of the cylinder or the spotlight.
Cylinder seems unstable when hung.
Verify that the hanging point is securely fastened to a strong support. Ensure the hanging material (rope, wire, etc.) is in good condition.
Mirror facets appear dull or dirty.
Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth with water and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
