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.

Chauvet Nimbus Dry-Ice (Dancing on the Clouds Effect) Machine Rental
This machine combines solid CO2 and hot water to produce a stunning effect for dancing on the clouds. Dry ice is not included within the rental price, nor is the water. Dry ice can usually be purchased at Publix or Airgas for around $2.25/lb. Requires at least one dedicated power circuit (a second heating element can be used if plugged into a 2nd receptacle on a different circuit breaker.) Rent out Yeti cooler, scoop and gloves as well for an additional $30.

Ultra Violet UV Black Light Rentals
Black lights (dual 4 ft 80 watt UV light tubes within a single fixture which is set up to mount horizontally onto a tripod) for a glow party effect.

1st day rental: $15 ea
Collateral: $150 ea
Number Available: 2
Cold Spark Fountains (faux fireworks)
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.
1st day rental: $95
Pouch of powder: $60 (good for ~20 minutes total use)

Sapphire
This is a colorful sound-reactive scanner. The projected beams move from side to side according to sound, based on a sensitivity dial on the back. Note that this fixture’s mirror motor makes noise that can be heard in a quieter environment. The results from this are best with fog but it’s not required.

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.
1st day rental: $25 ea
Collateral: $200 ea

Disco Mirror Ball Package

Chauvet DJ COLORstrip 38-inch RGB LED Bar
Available separately, each fixture can be set to a single color or to one of several built-in programs that create visual patterns triggered by a built in mic (adjustable via the rear dial) or they can be controlled remotely by a DMX controller. (use yours or rent ours). Link them together to synchronize them. This video shows what 4 in a line can look like mounted on a long horizontal bar. The video also shows 6 mounted to a truss.

Traditional Par Can 48 Lighting
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.
1st day rental: $5

Gobo Projector Rentals
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.
