These compact yet powerful lighting machines are an excellent addition to house parties and other small-scale events of similar size. Anybody can use LED magic ball light technology and most of the lighting fixtures on this page go by the name Jellyball. Simply activate a Jellyball and use the dials on the reverse to customise colour mixing, speed of light revolutions and you can also switch between a wash or flash effect.
Some Jellyballs even come built with DMX functionality, designed for linking up with other DMX compatible equipment for a large network of lighting and effects. An excellent technique to get the best results for your Jellyball is to use them in combination with a fog machine system. Many pros will often use fog or haze to simplistically enhance their led magic ball lights and other lighting units.
Some Jellyball lights also have small music sensors built inside, selecting this option will allow the ball to react to the beats of your music. This means the lights inside will change in time to the song's tempo for a more immersive audiovisual experience. Many of the LED disco balls also come with remote controls, allowing full operation from a distance, this is helpful if you have mounted the ball to the ceiling.
Using LED magic ball lights
As mentioned, this type of party lighting can be mounted or otherwise hung up from stage trussing, ceilings or roofs. The LEDs themselves are beneath a shield of concaved material which spreads the light effect all around your room or venue. This concave effect acts as a shield to the inner lighting system, protecting the LEDs and doubling up as a multiplier of the effect itself.
Due to the small stature of these lights, they will fit in any vehicle with ease - this easy transportation is ideal for the working DJ. Many of the units also have an extra section beside the control panel which can assist in your roof mounting. This hangs the ball upside-down from the ceiling allowing light to be emitted to the dance floor, bar or other social areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are LED disco balls?
An LED disco ball is a modern version of the traditional disco ball that uses LEDs instead of mirrors to shine lights around a room/space. They are designed to be lightweight, portable and easy to install, which makes them popular for home parties as well as events and DJ performances.
How do LED disco balls function?
LED disco balls work by using LEDs to shoot lights out rather than reflecting lights off mirrors. The ball itself rotates round with an in-built motor too; these two features make it much easier to set up compared to a traditional disco ball, since you don’t need to worry about buying a separate spotlight or motor.
How do you look after your LED disco ball?
LED disco balls should be looked after in the right way in order to prolong their quality and make sure that they don’t get damaged.Your LED disco ball must be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth from time to time; harsh chemicals or abrasive materials can scratch the surface of the ball, so it is important not to use them.
The LED disco ball should also be stored in a safe, cool and dry place and should be handled with care when being transported. The power source needs to be appropriate for the required voltage of the disco ball, whilst the guidelines/instructions set in the device’s manual should be followed too.
How do I hang my LED disco ball?
In order to hang a LED disco ball, it typically requires ceiling fixtures such as hooks or screws. However, if your LED disco ball comes with a mounting rod, it is recommended to adhere to the instructions provided in the manual. It is worth noting, however, that LED disco balls are most commonly positioned on the floor.
What are LED disco balls made from?
LED disco balls are predominantly made from plastic, with multiple LED lights being embedded into the ball. They also include an in-built motor, which spins the disco ball round, shining the LED lights across the room.
The plastic dome of an LED disco ball is designed to help spread the light from the LEDs evenly across the entire surface of the ball. The dome is made from a special type of plastic that has a high degree of transparency and light diffusion properties.
What is the difference between LED disco balls and traditional disco balls?
LED disco balls don’t use mirrors and connect to mains power, using LED lights to generate multi-beam effects. They can also be controlled remotely or through mobile apps, which allows users to customise their own lighting effects and have a more immersive and dynamic experience.
Whilst LED disco balls save you the hassle of having to buy a separate spotlight and motor, many people much prefer the traditional, nostalgic feel that comes with a classic disco ball; particularly people who grew up and partied in the 1970s.
Who came up with LED disco balls?
Whilst LED lights have been around for a long time, LED disco balls are a relatively new invention/variant of disco ball, and there isn’t a known person that can be credited for it.
Charles Harrison is credited with inventing the mirror ball in 1917. Although it was initially used in theatres and cinemas, it did not become popular until the 1970s, when it became a symbol of disco and dance music culture and was widely used in nightclubs worldwide.
Where should I position my LED disco ball?
LED disco balls are commonly placed on the floor to evenly distribute light throughout space. However, there are alternative ways to position LED disco balls. For bigger rooms or spaces, such as those found in a professional setting, LED disco balls may be better suited being hung from the ceiling, since it will be more visible and its lighting effects will be seen better.
Can LED disco balls rotate on their own?
Yes, LED disco balls can rotate on their own. LED disco balls are typically equipped with an internal motor that allows them to rotate automatically, which helps to create the sparkling and swirling light patterns associated with disco balls.
The rotation speed and direction of the disco ball can often be controlled using an accompanying remote or switch. Some LED disco balls may also have the ability to rotate in sync with music or other sound sources, adding an extra element of excitement to any dance party or event.
Do I need any extra accessories with my LED disco ball?
With regards to extra accessories/parts for your LED disco ball, it depends on the disco ball you have and what you want to do with it. If you want to hang your LED disco ball from the ceiling, then a hook would be required, unless it comes with the disco ball, or you have bought a set that includes one.
Smoke/fog machines also compliment LED disco balls really well since they help to show entire beams of light, making them more visible and effective. That being said, accessories such as smoke/fog machines and hooks are not compulsory, but they are recommended for the best effects to accompany and enhance your LED disco ball.
