I thought the trusty old incandescent lamp would have the right punch for the mirror ball, but I was wrong. The included lamp is pretty weak, and the spot looks very patchy and uneven, which is then reflected into every "dot" on the wall. It is what it is - old technology. I would recommend going for the LED pinspots if you can. On the other hand, if you like the vintage look and the irregularly shaped blobs on the wall, then this is right for you!
