American DJ heavy duty mirror ball motor 3rpm for up to a 12" mirror ball and under

I decided to build a small disco for my kids last winter. Every Saturday night they have friends come over and this added a whole new dimention to our family fun times. Here is a list of what I bought from Amazon. All of this is still in perfect working order after almost a year of use. The moror is soundless and spins at the perfect speed. The strobes work well and will cause the required "where am I" feeling if left on too long. The Black light is strong enough to make anything 20 feet away glow brightly. Our living room is 20x 20 and with the lights out, the room is lighted perfectly.2 x American Dj Pl-1000 Pinspot With Lamp $20American Dj Pinspot Hard Gel Color Caps $6American Dj M-Hdac8 3 Rpm Mirror Ball Motor $102x MINI DISCO STROBE LIGHTS Flashing Stage Gear $10American Dj Pc4 Four Channel Power Switcher $15Eliminator Lighting Black Lights Black 24 Black Light Bulb $20American Dj Supply M-800 8 Inch Glass Mirror Solid Core $16I took a 10 ten foot long 1x8 board from home depot and placed the motor and mirror ball in the center. I placed the spot lights approximatle 2 feet to each side, with tthe color gel caps. The mini strobes are placed about 1 foot behind those. I put the Black light on the wall and ran all the cords to the wall mounted Power switcher so we can controll all of these with a flip of a switch. Mounted this boad accross my rafters with hole drilled into board so the cords could pass through and be hidden. I am not a DJ nor do I know what is better or best. I can tell you that we are happy with all these items and when kids come over they squeel with delight. Cant ask for more at this price.I also got:8" LumiStick Brand Glowsticks Glow Stick Bracelets Mixed Colors (Tube of 100) for $8Sargent Art 66-5525 Washable Fluorescent Paint Set, 6-Count $10To add so Disco Fun. My 5 kids are extremely happy and really enjoy dancing every week. Next year I want to conver our travel trailer so we can take the disco on the road !

This motor works fine. The gears lock when powered off, so your mirror ball doesn't free spin. I ran it for 3 hours straight so far with no issues. It comes with a split ring for mounting your mirror ball.** FYI: This is not a slow motor for large rooms. In a small room it will be slow, but from over 15 ft away, the beams will move pretty fast. There are faster and slower models.

So I bought the spinner I bought the disco ball and it works good not too fast not too slow. We could definitely couple skate though for sure. But I took my spinner and I hung a selfie stick off of it put my phone on it and made some rad videos spinning around slowly lazily calmly and it worked like a charm the speed is good. Just a thought for you Artists out there...

Motor is solid and well built, but not just for disco balls! I got this to use as a low speed driver for other projects, and it can be easily adapted to Halloween and other Holiday special effects. It has good torque, and will work quite well for a large crank ghost or other animated prop, and with a motion sensing outlet, it can be rigged to only start moving when someone comes into a specific area of your haunt for great effect.

Works as described and reasonably silent. I chose this model over the kitted model as many reviewers said that 6 rpm was too fast and their guests got sick or dizzy. I did not have this problem and it seems to be just right in the amount of light motion. It was a little tough to attache the mirror ball to the ring on the motor -- I ended up having to use a flat-head screw driver to open the ring and HOLD it open when attempting to attach the mirror ball. It was tricky but I got it done. Overall, very happy with this product.

Needed a motor to rotate a mobile for art class. This motor does the job perfectly. It is intended to be mounted on the ceiling, so there isn't an on/off switch. Mine is mounted on a base for table-top use, so I simply added an on/off switch in line.The unit is quiet and rotates at a good speed.

Very well made and turns at the right speed. I mounted it up in the ceiling with the chain hanging down through a small hole so the unit is not visible, which appears to be how it is intended to be used. I would definitely buy it again.

Perfect for a 12 inch mirror ball.
