mirrorball

Spinning reflective sphere

A mirrorball is a large sphere covered with small mirrored tiles that rotates and scatters light in all directions, creating moving spots of reflected light across a room.

Standard equipment in dance clubs and discos since the 1970s, it evokes nightlife, celebration, and retro glamour: The mirrorball spun lazily above the dance floor.

Also called a disco ball.
