DJ VISUAL EFFECTS AND LIGHTING RENTALS

Chauvet Vertical Fog Geyser T6

Use the included wireless remote control to activate this effect.  The buttons on the remote activate the production of this water-based fog and turn on the LEDs in Red, green, blue or white.  (The 4 color options can be programmed to produce a different color if desired). The plum of fog comes out of the top of the unit and disappears in about 5 seconds.  The quick dissipation fluid is significantly less lightly to trigger smoke alarm sensors than a long-lasting effect like the one intended to make light beams 3D (see the Chauvet Hurricane fog machine).

Chauvet Hurricane 1300 Fog Machine

This high power water-based fog machine (20,000 cu.ft/min) creates an effect that’s perfect for lasers and narrow light beams.  Comes with a wired remote control that has instant button as well as a timer setting.  This can white-out a small room in a few seconds.  The long-lasting fog will hang around for 5+ minutes. Check with the facility to make sure they allow an aerial fog effect before use as it can easily trigger smoke-alarms.  Extra fluid is available for $35/gallon.

Cold Spark Fountains (faux fireworks)

Cold spark fountain rental

This effect machine includes buttons for three different heights for the fountain of cold sparks.  They are called cold sparks because the sparks are cold and as much as I have tested these firing them directly onto my skin, clothing and paper, the sparks haven’t caused any negative effect except what I would call “soot” particles that are easily lost or vacuumed up.

Sapphire

Compact Battery-Powered Uplights

Battery-powered Uplights with 9 LEDs 

These are LED par cans that can be used for uplighting or wash lights (can be set to a color, strobe, flash (sound reactive), fade and can also be DMX-controlled.  Although they look the same, 12 of the 30 fixtures also offer UV black lighting, amber and true white LEDs.  Color mixing using the least amount of LEDs to accomplish the color you want will increase the time they will remain lit on battery power.  They can operate using a regular AC power receptacle as well.  These usually last 5 to 6 hours on full intensity.  Because they have 9 LEDs, the projected light is rich in color, especially compared to smaller or less powerful fixtures, such as the other uplights offered here.

Traditional Par Can 48 Lighting

par can light

Par 48 can with 90 watt halogen flood bulb and your choice of a colored gel.  Comes with an O-clamp to mount onto a lighting stand.  Bundle 4 to 8 fixtures on a lighting stand with a sequencer/dimmer pack that can be DMX controlled (see DMX controller below).  Unlike LED light fixtures, these do get HOT… And they draw significantly more power than an LED fixture.  LED fixtures also offer much more functionality because you can change their color while they are on.  These traditional Par Can lights have fallen out of favor for those reasons but they still have their charm and purpose.  Install a different color gel into each fixture’s frame and then use a DMX dimmer to control the intensity and sequence of illumination.

Gobo Projector Rentals

Gobo projectorRent a gobo projector

AC or battery-powered, these fixtures have a magnetic mount and thus can be stuck to vents and even in some cases, other light fixtures, or, with a clamp or scissor clamp, mounting to a tripod or drop ceiling grid is easy.  Without a gobo (shape disc), these can also be used as a spot light.  With a gobo, project a name or pattern/design onto a wall, curtain, table, ceiling or floor.  On a freshly charged battery, these last around 4.5 to 5 hours. The battery powered gobo projectors aren’t as bright as gobo projectors we offer that run only on 110v, which we offer for monograms or whatever you imagine… and those can continuously rotate, if desired.  The gobo disc can be selected from in stock options or custom gobo discs can be ordered for around $12 to $70, depending on some variables… We can help you with that.  Gobos already owned are available at no extra charge.
