Mirror Disco Ball
Our pick: Youdepot 16 Inch Mirror Disco Ball
A 16 inch mirror ball over the dance floor is the cheapest way to make a plain room look like a party, and the disco ball moment shows up in most galleries now. It needs a rigging point the venue approves, a rotating motor, and one narrow light aimed at it; ask the DJ whether they bring a pin spot.
