A.C. ELECTRIC PLUG-IN 3 R.PM. MIRROR BALL MOTOR For Disco Balls, mobiles etc. Or as a general all-purpose Ceiling Turner For home window displays, trade shows, DJ's, etc., ad infinitum |
|

This is a basic, time-tested and highly reliable ceiling mount mirror ball motor. It's not always a consideration, but it may be important to you: these are quiet. A motor we used to sell (and discontinued years ago) had an annoying hum; others also created a distracting gear noise. But, not this one, which is why we've stuck with it ever since despite the higher cost. |
The engineering and construction of this
unit is rock solid, and provides reliable turning
power/torque for objects up to
about 6 or 7 pounds, or roughly what a
typical 16 inch Disco Ball weighs in at.

Picture at left: Thia gives some perspective, in relation to a typical 8 inch Mirror Ball. |
Past buyers have found myriads of objects to suspend underneath. Historical uses based on buyer feedback: Crystals of all kinds Advertising displays Art objects Store sale signs Window displays Disco Balls Christmas, Halloween and Easter decorations School displays Science fair exhibits Etc ad infinitum. |
|
Picture Left : Comes with a thick, heavy cord and 3-prong plug. If needed, you can pick up a 3 prong to 2 prong adaptor at any hardware store (about a dollar). |
|
Rotation rate
: a leisurely 3 RPM.
Generally,
most AC motors I've seen in this category turn at a
dizzying 5 RPM, but this little gem
turns at a circumspect 3
r.p.m., which you'll find much more
visually appealing than (in our opinion) a
much-too-fast motor doing 5 RPM.
3 RPM is just the right turning rate for 99% of possible applications. |
|
|
Picture at left: Pre-drilled mounting holes make for easy installation. The cord is a modest 2.5 ft, so you'll want to add an extension cord (unless there just to be a ceiling mounted socket nearby). |
|
And, last but not least, it comes with an 'S' hook for hanging your item, so you'll be up and running in no time. Size: 4.25 inches diameter, and about 1.5 inches thick Power consumption: zilch (where zilch = about 4 watts. Not much more than a night light). |
Note that this is 110v US
current, so it'll work fine in the U.S.
and Canada. However, if your country uses 230v or 240v, you'll need a voltage converter from 230v to 110v, available in any electronics or travel store. Consult an electrician to be certain you're getting the right one. |
