OK,
So I have all these groovy new DMX lights I have bought and been programming the crap out of. Everything looks great. Now I want to bring it all to life!.... I know all about foggers and how they work (I own like 6 different ones) and how the density of the output trips smoke detectors yada, yada, yada... I have done my homework on how hazers work as well, got all that down pat. I love the fact that the Hazer doesn't spew out smelly thick, nasty fog! Some of the venues around here will definitely not allow foggers, trying to pitch the Hazers to the hall managers as an alternative for my clients that are Pony'ing up the dough for the full light show.
So, for those of you who own Hazers, from your real life experience with these things, am I looking at the same issues as with the fogger? I know the particulate matter is much less dense but once again, if used conservatively and just to Haze in front of the lights to accentuate the beams, have any of you cats had problems (tripping smoke detectors, fire alarms, etc?) Or am I just spinning my wheels and should I save my $500?...
Everything I have read says I will encounter the same issues... what is your experience?
