timpman19 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 yeah I have seen this company before but never had replies to my emails. If I remeber correctly their website used to say they have been at PLASA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDD Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 yeah I have seen this company before but never had replies to my emails. If I remeber correctly their website used to say they have been at PLASA.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> They were at PLASA in 2002 according to the website, which doesn't appear to have been updated since 2003. Incidentally, I can't find them on this year's PLASA list, so are they still active? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyromonkey Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 yeah I recieved an email from them the other week. they will be opening early 2006 I believe. :** laughs out loud **: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scjb Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I may be wrong, but I think this is Martin Blake's "new" venture. If so, it has been a long time in the making. Blake was the guy behind the original Pyroflash system. I believe there was a Blake's Pyro for a while, after he left LM, which sold compatible product. He is also I/c "The Effects Company" who make smoke machines, low-smoke convertors and the DMX controlled CO2 heads, amongst other things. These are very well engineered products. He has a unique approach to customer service. I'm sure there will be others here with more up-to-date info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert morley Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 hi all I have just received a e-mail from one stuart vaughan saying that he will send a catalog out but the new factory is still not ready yet and is going to let me know soon when it will open (I hope I get invited to the opening) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_korman Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 hi all I have just received a e-mail from one stuart vaughan saying that he will send a catalog out but the new factory is still not ready yet and is going to let me know soon when it will open (I hope I get invited to the opening) :unsure:<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi, I know both Martin Blake and Stuart Vaughan. We (www.carshaltonpanto.co.uk) have been beta-ing the control system for a couple of years now - it's pretty good. We're going to use the moving head C02 unit (CoJet) in our January production.. I believe the problem with the consumables has been partly due to the licensing process - it's tough to set up explosive factories these days!

robert morley Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I hope it all works out for them the coloured flame projectors sound great (I have only been able to get red orange and green before and could do with blue for next years panto)any ideas? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I've just found a rather tired web site for xlfx, excellence in pyrotechnics it says. Has anyone used them or their product? They seem to sell controllers and pyro, some of the pics are nice, is the product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyromark Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 They have never actually made any product so no one has seen it. The chap behind it is Martin Blake who was the guy that invented the Le Maitre Pyroflash system.Apparently they have had some money issues but the project is still happening, just very very slowly!
