FAQs
What size spotlight should I use?
Any focused spotlight will work. A stronger or more focused beam will create more intense reflections. Experiment with different types of lights to achieve your desired effect.
How do I hang the cylinder securely?
Use the pre-attached hanging point. Secure it with a strong string, rope, or chain, ensuring it's attached to a reliable overhead fixture.
Can I use this outdoors?
Yes, it can be used outdoors for evening events, but it should be protected from rain and direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the mirror facets.
How do I clean the mirror glass?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the mirror facets. Follow up with a dry microfiber cloth to remove any streaks. Avoid abrasive materials.
Does the cylinder come with a light source?
No, the cylinder is a reflective accessory and does not include a light source. You will need to provide your own spotlight or suitable lighting.
What is the diameter of the cylinder?
The product description specifies a length of 40cm. The diameter is not explicitly stated but is consistent with a typical cylinder shape for disco balls.
Is the foam core easily damaged?
The foam core is lightweight but should be handled with care to avoid dents or punctures, especially during setup and storage.
Troubleshooting
Cylinder not reflecting light effectively
Ensure a spotlight is directly aimed at the cylinder and that the room is sufficiently dark. Check that the mirror facets are clean and free of dust or smudges.
Hanging point feels loose
Inspect the attachment of the hanging point to the cylinder. If it seems insecure, consider reinforcing it with a strong adhesive suitable for foam and mirror backing, or use a secondary support system.
Mirror facets appear dull
Gently clean the facets with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture and ensure the cloth is lint-free.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The FX Lab Polished Mirror Cylinder comes ready to use with an integrated hanging point. Simply attach a secure string, rope, or chain to this point and hang it from a suitable fixture (e.g., ceiling hook, stand). Ensure it is hung at a height where a spotlight can effectively hit it and the reflections can spread across the desired area.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with most standard spotlights, stage lights, or focused LED lights. Its reflective surface works with any color light, though colored spotlights will cast colored reflections. It does not have any electronic components and is purely a passive reflective accessory.
Care: To maintain its shimmering appearance, gently clean the mirror facets with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the mirror surface. Dust can be removed with a soft brush or a dry microfiber cloth. Store in a safe place to prevent damage to the mirror facets or the foam core.
