Steve Thomas Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Live covers band with decent DMX controlled lighting (Par Cans, Moving Heads etc) looking for a good quality hazer. I'm led to believe that the Jem is the Industry standard, but there seems to be a few versions. Could you advise which is best for my needs and if you would recommend any other makes/types? Finally, could you recommend where is a good place to source a Haze Machine? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stee_cri1 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hi there and welcome to BR I would say that jem is one of the standard machines along with the likes of Le Matie etc, Have a look on www.usedlighting.co.uk they have some great machines on there at the min including a DF50 which does not have DMX, but the smoke factory hazer looks pritty good mate hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadhippy Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 The look solutions unique 2 is a rather nice unit,DMX or stand alone costs around £650,just make sure you shut it down correctly.Biggest proplem with the df50 is there an oil based machine,so you will end up getting a lovely oily film on everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ83 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'll second the Unique2. From Thomann.de the Unique2 + flightcase + 10L fluid comes to just under £900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Johnstone Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I also agree with the Unique2. lovely hazer!most venues it can be run on about 15% power and is nice and even! no mess either like df50's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niclights Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Unique (mk1 is better IMO but I doubt you'll be able to get one!) Significant advantages of this unit are its size and almost instant warm-up. They cover anything from pubs to arena and will run at 100% continuously. You should be able to get for less than £600 new w/out case. Oil-based will be beyond budget new. I wouldn't even consider buying second-hand smoke machines.

SoLiEn Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 As you will see from my other posts, I too will endorse the Unique 2. Amazing little machine. we need another one so we can have a pair now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PocketJem Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I have the Look Solutions Unique 2 and absolutely love it. An added bonus is that it sips fluid and gives a lovely even haze. As has already been mentioned it's happy to sit there running on full power (unlikely that you'll ever need to do that though!).

mumbles Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Another thumbs up for the Uniques, very good and easy enough to service. Don't personally get on with Neutrons, as the 2 in one of our venues regularly break and often require cleaning, much more regularly than our Unique 1. They were chosen as they supposedly don't get through fluid as quickly as the Uniques, but can't say as I've really seen this to be the case, and also, as I say they need a lot more maintenance.

stagemanagement Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Hands On are selling Le Maitre Neutron hazer (and any other new Le Maitre Products) for 20% off list price, through to the end of April 2009.www.hands-on-uk.com perry@hands-on-uk.com Pea-Soup are a good supplier for the NEutron XS also, they have a bundle deal to get a discounted 4 pack of fluid when you buy the unit as well.I'd also recommend the extra investment on the DMX remote unit as well, unless it can be plugged in near the bass player at the back!!
