Mirror spheres, sometimes called disco balls or mirror balls, are usually spherical objects covered in small mirrors that reflect light in every direction. These mirror spheres were first used in nightclubs as far back as the 1920s. In discotheques and modern nightclubs, they help create a dazzling and festive atmosphere, essential for a party vibe.
Understanding the Mirror Sphere
Although the mirror sphere might be considered an essential part of a dance floor, this iconic silvery symbol has a place in stage production. Whether you’re recreating the feel of a 1970s disco or want to create a sparkling light effect from every angle, mirror spheres make for great stage props. They can come in a variety of sizes and you can use them almost anywhere.
Inflating Style and Sparkle
Inflatable mirror spheres are a lightweight and portable alternative to traditional mirror balls. They are usually made of a durable PVC material covered in small mirrors. You can inflate and deflate these quickly and easily, making them great for mobile events and parties, as well as stage productions requiring set changes.
Reflecting the Light
Consider using mirror spheres in the following ways:
- Hang a large inflatable mirror ball from the ceiling in the center of a dance floor to create a sparkling focal point.
- Use mirror spheres on the floor to generate a dazzling disco-like effect.
- Place smaller mirror balls on tables as glamorous centerpieces.
- Make unique lighting effects by placing a mirror sphere near a spotlight or other light source.
