FAQs
What is the 'Yellow' in the product name?
The 'Yellow' designation typically refers to the product line or color family of the FXLAB brand, rather than the color of the mirror ball itself. The FXLAB Mirror Ball is characterized by its black mirrored facets.
Does the mirror ball come with a light or motor?
No, the FXLAB Mirror Ball is sold as the ball itself. A separate spotlight and, optionally, a mirror ball motor are required to operate it.
What size spotlight is recommended?
A spotlight with a beam angle of 10-30 degrees is generally recommended for best results, but compatibility depends on the room size and desired effect.
How do I clean the mirrored surface?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth for dusting. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth with water only and dry immediately with another soft cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners.
What is the recommended room size for this 12-inch ball?
The 12-inch mirror ball is suitable for small to medium-sized rooms, such as typical living rooms, small bars, or dance floors up to approximately 200 square feet.
Can this be used outdoors?
This product is designed for indoor use. Exposure to weather elements can damage the mirrored facets and internal structure.
How is the mirror ball mounted?
It typically features a loop or eyelet at the top for hanging via a hook, cable, or a specialized mirror ball motor.
Troubleshooting
Ball is not reflecting light effectively
Ensure a strong, focused light source is directly aimed at the ball. Check that the mirrored facets are clean and free of dust or smudges. Verify the ball is rotating if using a motor.
Light patterns are weak or scattered
Increase the intensity of the light source or move the spotlight closer to the ball. Reduce ambient light in the room to make the reflections more prominent.
Mirror ball feels unstable when hung
Double-check the security of the hanging point and any attached hardware. Consider using a more robust mounting solution or a mirror ball motor with a secure hanging bracket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have a secure mounting point capable of supporting the ball's weight (plus any movement if using a motor).
- Many users opt for a simple hanging hook or a dedicated mirror ball motor for continuous rotation.
- Position the mirror ball centrally or above the main area where light effects are desired.
- Direct a spotlight or other focused light source towards the ball to achieve the desired reflection patterns.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with most standard spotlights and stage lighting.
- Works best with stationary spotlights or motorized mirror ball rotating motors (sold separately).
- Suitable for use with LED, halogen, or incandescent light sources.
Care:
- Gently dust the surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain reflectivity.
- For stubborn smudges, use a slightly damp cloth (water only) and immediately dry with a soft cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the mirrored facets.
