WHICH LIGHTS DO I USE FOR A DISCO PARTY?

To enhance the disco experience and to make the colors really pop, we recommend turning your disco party into a glow party with a black light glow party kit. As shown in the BeeGees music video below illuminated dance floors featured in lots of the best nightclubs back in the 70s. Using black lights you can create your own glowing dance floor by marking out squares with neon fluorescent tape. You can also hang neon decorations from the walls and ceiling that will glow in vibrant colors. Make sure to also include colorful laser lights that will reflect off the mirrorball.
