The Fake Flame™ creates the illusion of real gas flames, but uses absolutely no flammable products! It works by projecting coloured light onto a swirling screen of vapour in order to create a very realistic artificial flame. It is the nature of the swirling vapour which will determine just how visually effective this is. The system was designed for use in theatres and theme parks as well as on concerts and in nightclubs where a flame effect is desired but it is deemed simply too dangerous or just not practical to use real gas. Far better than silk flames and cost effective to run (with 2.5 litres of haze fluid giving 60 to 80 hours of continuous operation), this system is ideal for fixed installations as well as touring and hire work. The system creates a linear fire effect of 1.2m wide. The effect reaches the very edge of the unit, so multiple units can be placed side-by-side to create as wide an effect as desired. The flame effect is best viewed against a black or dark background and with the vapour screen strip at or just above eye level. The Fake Flame system does not produce the most realistic effect in areas where air movement is present. The best results are achieved in completely still environments. Each Fake Flame™ module weighs about 70kg and is constructed from epoxy powder-coated steel with a matt black finish (so it will withstand touring). The unit can be placed on stage or mounted flush under the stage.
