Preferred over the more expensive Eurolite half 30cm
thelxman 23.11.2018
A few years ago I bought the Eurolite version of a 30cm half mirror ball. It was ok (review on Thomann).

This Showtec version is also ok. But it's a bit more ok than the Eurolite version and it's 10 Euro cheaper. I just bought 2 of these and I would choose the Showtec again over the Eurolite. I'm sure these two versions probably come from the same factory, but I do prefer the Showtec for more consistent quality (such as it is at this price level).

I bought the pair of Showtec's for a pair of "floor mounted" mirror balls. The motor in the Showtec is nice and strong. I couldn't stop it with reasonable hand force. Also the bracket arms are square to the mounting surface - this was one of my complaints about the Eurolite, they aren't.

The (half) ball is mounted to the motor spindle with a nyloc nut and a split pin. There is also an internal secondary bond wire.

About 0.75m of flex is provided. There is no plug fitted.

It's a synchronous ac motor so can start rotation in either direction. With hand force, I wasn't able to stall the motor and get it to rotate in the other direction, which is very useful for my floor application.

All mirror facets were intact and securely mounted (again not the case on my Eurolite). Because this is a small diameter ball, as you get towards the apex, there are a few gaps, because the mirrors are 1cm square.

RPM - not sure, maybe it's in the spec. From observation probably something like 30rpm; but whatever it is, it's about right.

Overall much happier with my 2 Showtec's versus the Eurolite I also have. So say yourself 10 Euros (pretty much a 25% discount) and buy the Showtec rather than the Eurolite (which strangely has higher Thomann sales). Hence awarding 5 stars since I gave the Eutolite 4.

Sufficient for purpose!

I bought these to create a snowing effect which required them to rotate vertically- not possible with a conventional mirror ball. They did the job well, they are of rather flimsy quality, but acceptable for the price!

Perfekt wenn es wenig Platz gibt und die Decke nicht erreichbar ist Perfect when there is little space and the ceiling cannot be reached
MOD 10.11.2019
Tut was Sie soll - im Gegensatz zu anderen Bewertungen war meine Kugel in Ordnung - keine fehlenden Spiegel oder losen Teile.
Der Motor geht in Ordnung und dreht ganz normal mal rechts oder links nach dem Anschalten - finde ich OK; Kabel ohne Stecker - gut wenn man Sie sowieso an einem Lampenanschluss montiert. Einzige Kritik - die Kugel selbst ist durch die Zentralachse mittels einer sehr fetten Mutter nach aussen sichtbar montiert und das nicht "bombenfest - sprich die Halbkugel eiert an der "unausgewuchteten" Stelle wenn an der Wand montiert. Es stört im Live-Betrieb nicht aber wer eher an eine Wohnzimmernutzung denkt, sollte sich die Schraube mal vornehmen und "unterfüttern" damit alles gerade sitzt.
Geräuschpegel normal - hab aber nicht checken können ob sie auf "lautlos" springt da wandmontiert, normalerweise pendelt sich Massenträgheit und Drehmoment bei Deckenmontage nach einigen Minuten ein sodass nichts mehr zu hören ist. Für den Preis - top!

Does what it's supposed to do - unlike other reviews, my ball was fine - no missing mirrors or loose parts. The motor works fine and turns normally to the right or left after switching on - I think that's OK; Cable without plug - good if you mount it on a lamp connection anyway. The only criticism - the ball itself is mounted visibly from the outside through the central axis using a very fat nut and is not "bomb-proof" - i.e. the hemisphere is stuck in the "unbalanced" place when mounted on the wall. It doesn't bother people in live operation If you're thinking of using it in a living room, you should take a look at the screw and "reline" it so that everything sits straight. Noise level is normal - but I couldn't check whether it switches to "silent" because it's wall-mounted, normally the mass inertia and torque level off after a few minutes when mounted on the ceiling so that nothing can be heard anymore. For the price - great!

Mauvaise fabrication Poor manufacturing

la fixation de la demi boule sur l'axe moteur est catastrophique, aucun stabilité, la boule tourne en se balançant , impossible de serrer sous peine de décoller les facettes. on en a installé 8, mêmes symptômes !
the fixing of the half ball on the motor axis is catastrophic, no stability, the ball turns while swinging, impossible to tighten otherwise the facets will come off. we installed 8, same symptoms!
