10 Best Disco Balls UK 2024

This shouldn’t be too hard to do, but if you want an even easier option, some mirror balls come with their own extra lights fixed to the ceiling attachment which will shine down onto the mirror ball and then gleam across the room. There is also an option to choose a glitter ball that comes with a rotating motor. Dazzling!

The type you place on the floor need plenty of space so you can set them up where they won’t be kicked during a dramatic dance-off. Some are plugged in at the socket so will also need to be near a power source in the wall in order to work, others use batteries or can be powered with a USB cable.

The best thing about these disco lights is the huge variety of light patterns and colours they provide. Some come with a suction pad allowing them to be placed almost anywhere. The downside is they are often the most costly and the floor-based lights may not work well if you have limited space. However, they often come with a remote control so you can manage them mid-dance routine, which is useful!

If you’re pushed for space, a disco light bulb fitting is a great call. These simple bulbs fit comfortably in the place of a light bulb so you simply replace your main light bulb on party night and hey presto! Living room disco atmosphere with the flick of a switch.

The biggest upside of this type of bulb is they’re a little bit cheaper than fancier disco lights and don’t require any floor space at all. The one key drawback is they have fewer settings and may be slightly more effort to set up (depending on how much you love changing a light bulb.)

Many disco lights comes with a range of colour options; choose which ones to buy based on your favourite colours, the colours the dancing space is decorated with or simply the shades that set the mood you like.

A rainbow kaleidoscope mixture sets the mood for a proper party, golden and yellow light is classic and tasteful, pinks are warm and flattering while greens could work well for a Halloween event or similar. It’s also good to consider whether you want just one colour setting (simply switch on and forget them) or a large range to choose from (providing more variety throughout your evening).

Keep an eye out for disco lamps that actually change their rhythm patterns to the beat of the music: every little helps to keep the dancers on their feet!
