That’s why we wouldn’t recommend this for use at home but definitely find it one of the top choices for bars and other event venues. This means that you need a powerful motor to keep this big boy spinning, which, in turn, eats a lot of energy. The ball itself, with no chain or accessories, weighs 13.55 lbs, almost twice the size of regular 12” ones. It’s important to note that the ADJ Products M-2020 is significantly heavier than most models you’ll see. While we’re not completely sold on the choice of styrofoam for the inner shell, it seems to hold the glass pieces well.
This model is covered in 0.5 x 0.5 inch glass fragments, which refract more light, creating much brighter illumination. If this applies to you, we recommend the ADJ Products M-2020, a 20” sphere that’s anything but lightweight. However, if you’re throwing a shindig at a bigger space or even running a club where a disco sphere is needed nightly, you’ll have to find a larger and more reliable model. And dancing to your favorite tunes as white light refracts from the 12-inch ball is a classic way to have fun.Ī standard 12” mirror ball may be good for lighting up a home party, the kind where there’s a bunch of people in your living room. You won’t have to worry about the pinspots or the motor running out of juice as they both only need the AC to work.
Other than that, though, the Adkins Professional Lighting MBKIT-12DUAL-A is a great kit for those who are about to throw an epic party. While the 12” sphere should be more than enough to light up a medium-sized room, it still needs to be placed in the middle of the dancefloor for maximum effect, so you’ll probably need an extension cord. For example, the motor cord is not that long and thus the motor and, consequently, the ball have to be placed close to the socket.
However, make sure to set up the disco system well in advance so you don’t run into any problems. The pinspots have rotary bases so you can angle them as you see fit, shining onto the ball from several sides. This kit includes a styrofoam and a glass ball that will spin up high as you shake it on the dancefloor, a motor that will keep that sphere going for hours, and 2 LED pinspots that bathe the glass orb in white light. We trust you can handle the first two yourself but you can leave the latter to the Adkins Professional Lighting MBKIT-12DUAL-A. Looking to throw a party that your friends could remember for years? Well, you’ll need drinks, good music, and, above all, an appropriate ambience.
