Im trying to make a disco ball. I can make the disco ball look like a mirror in that you can see the outsides surroundings on the ball, but i am trying to make the light "bounce off" the disco ball and affect all the objects around it. Any thoughts?

I've faked this effect before by placing an omni light in the centre of the disco ball, excluding the disco ball from it, then I think I put a projector map on it (black with random white squares) & rotated it slowely. its not completely correct, but everyones on drugs at discos, so who would know? :D

You probably can use finalRender Luma, it don't takes long time to render, but the effect is impresive.
