LIT SPINNING ORB DESK FOUNTAIN

The Light Is Inside the Orb, and the Orb Turns

Two things happening in one object. The orb is turned by the falling water rather than by a motor, and the light sits inside the orb rather than under it, so what rotates is a lit sphere rather than a dark one passing through a beam. That is a noticeably better effect, because the light turns with the glass and the highlights move.

The flow control sets both the sound and the rotation speed, so you have one dial that takes it from a barely moving glow to a visibly spinning lit sphere.

The cascade behind it is layered light gray slate, deliberately plain, because on a piece this size a busy rock texture would fight the orb. Nine and four fifths inches high on an eight inch square, which is the smallest useful footprint we offer that still has a moving feature in it. Rated for indoor use.

What You Get With This Desk Fountain With Orb

  1. 01

    The light is inside the orb.

    It turns with the glass rather than shining on it, so the highlights move as the sphere rotates. That is a different effect from a lit base with a dark ball on top.

  2. 02

    Water drives the rotation.

    No motor, so nothing extra to fail, and the orb stops when the pump does.

  3. 03

    One dial sets sound and spin.

    The flow control takes it from a barely moving glow to a visibly turning lit sphere, so you tune both at once.

  4. 04

    Plain slate behind it, on purpose.

    A busy rock texture would compete with the orb at this size, so the cascade is kept simple and light gray to let the moving part hold your attention.

Where to put it

A desk, a shelf, a bedside table, a reception counter. At under ten inches it is seen at arm reach, so put it where you actually sit. Level is critical on this one, more than on any other piece here, because an orb in a cup will not turn evenly on a tilt and the rotation is the whole reason to own it. A coaster or mat underneath on anything that marks.

Keeping This Desk Fountain With Orb in Good Order

Desk Fountain With Orb upkeep, in three lines

  • Every few days Top up. The water must always cover the pump.
  • Every 2 to 3 weeks Empty, rinse, wipe the pump screen, refill.
  • Before the first frost Drain it completely and bring the pump indoors.
Looking after the finish

Top the basin up every few days, since a piece this small holds very little and the level drops quickly. Lift the orb out when you clean, rinse it ...

Questions About This Desk Fountain With Orb

Where exactly is the light
Inside the glass orb, not underneath it. That means the light turns with the sphere and the highlights move as it rotates, which is a better effect than a lit base with a dark ball sitting on it.
How is it different from your eight inch orb fountain
That one has color changing light in the rock and a crystal textured orb. This one is a little taller at nine and four fifths inches, the slate is plainer, and the light is inside the glass orb itself rather than in the base.
Does the orb need a motor
No, the falling water turns it. It spins when the pump runs and stops when it does not, so there is no mechanism to wear out.
Why does level matter so much
Because an orb sitting in a cup will not turn evenly on a tilt, and the rotation is the whole point of the piece. Check the surface is flat before you fill it rather than after.
