Members Alex_SF Posted December 10, 2016 Members Share Posted December 10, 2016 Are there lighting effects suitable for a club performance that can deliver some of the "wow" factor of pyro, without all the danger, liability, insurance, and other associated hassles? Strobes, blinders, and foggers are a good start. But I'd love to know what other lighting effects are out there to simulate either a column of flames or a shower of sparks -- or deliver something with a similar visual effect without any actual combustion going on.

Members bigjd Posted December 13, 2016 Members Share Posted December 13, 2016 Co2 cannons do a good job of blowing a show up. Used with the right timing and lighting they can produce a great effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stevegarris Posted December 13, 2016 Members Share Posted December 13, 2016 I would love to have (2) of these:https://www.vminnovations.com/Product_76507/American-DJ-Fog-Fury-Jett-Fog-Machine-and-LED-Light-Effect-w-Wirless-Remote.html?rd=gpf_76507&gclid=Cj0KEQiA1b7CBRDjmIPL4u-Zy6gBEiQAsJhTMDNVS1MvKNNi9M8525K8bLOztYAlpzG-_8kCDMr6HyEaAoRI8P8HAQ I think one of the posters here has a couple, and he shows them on his videos.

Members Alex_SF Posted December 13, 2016 Author Members Share Posted December 13, 2016 CO2 cannon, especially if it can have yellow-orange LED lighting, looks very cool. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bigjd Posted December 15, 2016 Members Share Posted December 15, 2016 The foggers are cool , but have a tendency to be over kill in their aftermath. The residual fog/haze left over can be overwhelming. You can totally engulf a venue in a few short bursts from those. Where the Co2 cannon dissipates quickly more expensive yes , but it is a much better effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stevegarris Posted December 18, 2016 Members Share Posted December 18, 2016 Interesting. Reading about them now. Very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stevegarris Posted December 19, 2016 Members Share Posted December 19, 2016 So how big of Co2 tank do you need to do a 4 hour show? I love the effect, but logistically looks like a lot of work. Do you rent the tanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StratGuy22 Posted December 20, 2016 Members Share Posted December 20, 2016 ADJ Fog Fury Jett looks pretty good and is 100% safe. It's only red 100% Amber 100% in this video. It's an RGBA DMX fixture. As stated, you can quickly smoke the F out of the place. I bought quick dissipating flud after this gig, dissipates in about 10 seconds, HUGE. Difference, makes them much more usable. They are on the ground, but you can mount them face down, from above, a truss etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StratGuy22 Posted January 3, 2017 Members Share Posted January 3, 2017 Now with quick dissapating fog fluid. Much more usable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members O.B.1 Posted January 29, 2017 Members Share Posted January 29, 2017 I use a pair of Chauvet RGB Geyser fixtures with the "Steam" quick dissipating solution. I actually dilute the solution about 1/1 ratio with pure distilled water for even less lingering residual haze.They are safe and won't burn the club down. (wouldn't want to pull a Great White) https://www.facebook.com/djO.B.1/vid...1935841851804/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me what movers you're using, and what controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members O.B.1 Posted January 29, 2017 Members Share Posted January 29, 2017 I am using Chauvet intimidator wash/zoom 350 irc fixtures with Chauvet ShowXpress DMX software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stevegarris Posted January 30, 2017 Members Share Posted January 30, 2017 Thanks. I see we're in the same area (I'm in Woodinville). ShowXpress really has me frustrated. I don't know the software, but it's installed at one of my clubs, and I can't figure it out for the life of me. I'm simply trying to dim the pre-programmed front wash, but can't seem to make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
