Welcome to the forum. As well as I can see it is a 10 rpm motor in it. The startec series are nice lights, and very affordable. But you say even 6 rpm is too fast for a mirror ball effect. I can't really comment on that too much, I've seen mirror balls used at various speeds. Some of the lights do have different speed settings though. Not sure about the one your asking about. Will have to check on that.
Get back to you on that tomorrow hopefully.

Welcome to the forum!! Dogg is right if I not mistaken the Mini star Ball has a 10 RPM motor in it. Since it is smaller the speed should be about the same as the starball.

There is no speed setting on this light. I think I have to disagree with Freestyle on what he said about a smaller light with more rpm being the same as a larger light with less rpm though. A smaller light with more rpm would turn quicker. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It is still a good light though. Check it out in the store if you can. I'll think you'll find that it's really not too fast, and would suit you very well. Just my opinion though. Have a look at some roto-pods. I have two of these right now, and I love em, great for slow dances. The Active Pod, and the Color Pods both have different settings. Static, continuous rotation, and sound active. The Roto-Pod is just continuous slow rotation. These are very affordable too, so you can buy multiples of them which even adds more to their effect.

Since the bigger ball has more parimeter than the small one it takes a longer time to make a revolution making it look like the bigger ball is moving at almost the same speed as the smaller ball with a faster motor. Ex: Say I take to mirror balls one 12" and one 16" and they both have the same motor that pushes out 3 RPM per minute, which ball will go faster? The 16" why? Because although the motors are pushing out the same speed the bigger one has more of a parimeter and when there is more parimeter it has to make a bigger revolution faster than the small ball that makes smaller revolutions. If you add extra speed to compinsate the smaller size you can match them up. This is why you don't see many 6 rpm motors that can support balls that are 16" and above.

The mini star ball will still will be going faster than the bigger one. I was just making a comparison for him if he saw the bigger one about how it would compare in speeds of the smaller one.
