Very easy to set up and use, this range of disco lights for home use is impeccable for helping lift the mood. You'll find a wide variety of party lighting, great for birthday gatherings and other celebratory social events that are certain to change any atmosphere! House party lights can be used in a multitude of ways, which we will discuss in the following section.

Let’s begin with the difference between wash lights and effect lights, the two lighting styles are usually used in tandem with one another, but some lighting has both options. Firstly, the classic wash effect is a broad lighting effect that will impressively brighten up the surrounding area when active. For example, if you set a light blue wash effect the majority of your room will look that colour, think of this shade as a base colour.
Secondly, effect lights tend to move and are more like lasers and other shaped lighting, these effects cut through the base wash lighting to add to the overall spectacle. So with a light blue wash as mentioned earlier, you could simply use a contrasting light purple or pink to accentuate the wash light appropriately. Experiment with different colour combinations and see what works for you, you could perhaps match your lighting design to parties theme, such as oranges and purples for Halloween.
As mentioned, some of the light options we stock here can do both of these effects and can be selected to either wash or effect your room. You can use UV to achieve wash effects too, a pair of UV Light Bars set up at opposite sides of the party will look more than stunning. All of this lighting can be enhanced even further if you ordered a fog machine, smoke effects like this improve any and all existing lighting fixtures.
How to use House Party Lights?
As mentioned previously, the majority of our bedroom disco lights are enhanced by smoke effects such as haze and fog. When these effects are used in conjunction with the lighting they will detail the entire length of the light beam created. This light is usually hard to see, but once the smoke is involved you will see how much light these compact systems can produce.
Further improvements come from the wide range of differently sized mirror balls we have available on our site. Mirror Balls are hung from ceilings, trussing and other overhead surfaces, a small motor rotates the ball which of course, reflects light that comes into contact with it. Also, if a light is pointed directly at a mirror ball as it spins the light will be reflected all around your room.
This category contains a lighting unit named the Jellyball, this product is a swift way to cure any atmospheric issues you may run into. The Jellyball is versatile, reliable and operationally very simple to get excellent results at a moment's notice, one variant is also DMX compatible. The Jellyball is one of the better disco lights for home purposes that we stock and it performs well all year round.
The era of Bedroom Disco Lights
We see a lot of our latest products being used by the public in viral videos that surface every few weeks. With the arrival of apps like TikTok many young people in the UK now use our lighting for an interesting backdrop to their respective video channels. This lighting also pops up on the channels of British musicians and YouTubers, again as a way to dress up their surroundings or their home studio for instance.
They all have the home aspect in common, while lighting and other effects are usually found at parties these systems work just as well at places of residence. Many of the options above also come with remote control for distanced usage, changing colour palettes and rotational speeds without moving out of the frame of your videos. We’ve also seen a few orders from up and coming eSports companies that want to dress up their events for online audiences to enjoy all around the globe.
Set the tone of your videos or your channel by having consistency in your lighting, decide on a couple of your favourite colours and use them as your backdrop. Furthermore, you can change the lights to red and white for Christmas themed videos or perhaps orange and yellow for a summery, seasonal feel to your uploads. Be sure to get creative with some contrasting colours that complement each other well, although note that UV light doesn’t turn out too great on non-professional cameras.
Lights as decoration
Recently, we’ve seen the inclusion of our lighting and mirror balls in articles encouraging the public to try out improving their home decor with tasteful choices. Some use a jelly ball to cast red and orange lights around their living room for that warm mulled wine by the fire Christmas feeling. Alternatively, mirror balls have made quite the return to the public conscience, now being used in homes beside windows to better reflect natural light.
UV lights, wash lights and effect lights are used in nightclubs, bars and other leisure destinations, bringing the atmosphere those places promote to your own home. There are now mirror balls that include their own motor and spotlight as a handy kit meaning it’s never been simpler to get great, rotational lighting effects. Look out for other kits on our site, you can often save money while buying kits and what’s more, you’ll alleviate a bit of pressure on our warehouse team.

How do you attach a disco ball to the ceiling?

How do I set up party lighting for homes?
Firstly, you need to know where you are going to put your lights. Once you have decided this, you should put them up and test them, just to make sure they work and they are how you want them.

How do you position disco lights?
Disco lights can be placed on mounts to elevate them up, or even on flat surfaces. They should also be angled towards the area you want illuminated.
How do I make my lights move to music?
Some lights are sound-activated, meaning that they can pick up sound and react to it by changing colours or flashing with the music.
DMX technology can also be used to control the movement, colour and intensity of the lights, although doing so through DMX is a little more tricky.
Do I need a smoke machine with disco lights?
Whilst it is not essential to have a smoke machine with your disco lights, it can really enhance and create a more immersive atmosphere. This is because the effect of the smoke makes whole beams of light visible, making the lights more effective as a result.
What is the best way to light a disco ball?
This largely depends on the size of the disco ball. Normally, spotlights are used to light up disco balls, since they have a narrow beam that can create a more focused effect. The spotlight should ideally be angled towards the top of the disco ball, aiming slightly downwards. This creates a sparkling and dynamic effect. Larger disco balls can use multiple lights that are angled at different parts of the ball.
