Yes. Definitely.
Especially these days when newer buildings are using particulate detectors. To my limited understanding, particulate detectors detect everything in the air, not just smoke.
I dunno, but hazers it seems are no safer than fog. Get with your venue, not just the coordinator, but the building engineer etc. before firing it up.
Check out this video by Dan from X-Laser. He's been in the industry for a while and really knows his stuff...
Just a thought - does anyone use bubble machines? Are they any good for use with lasers and do they cause any problems - thinking about slippery floors from bubble liquid I would not imagine they would cause probs with smoke alarms?

not to hijack the thread
but anyone have problems with DRY ICE and smoke detectors?
...And you may wager that some whiny guest will complain because so-and-so has asthma.
I have read reports of bubbles leaving stains on whites. Probably not what you'd want for a bride's gown or venue flatwork. ...
So many of these video snippets take so long to say almost nothing. This (YouTube - Fog Vs. Haze) was chock full of good tip and info. Well worth the time to watch.
Thanks Stew.
Couldn't agree more...great video. Very informative. Thanks Stew for sharing.
My question...where are people putting their hazer? Up with lights? Or down near the booth? Or on the floor?
Fog and haze are well suited for venues where they won't cause problems. Not many mobiles are running it these days because of the fire alarm issues in rented houses.

Yup, they can make a slippery mess on floors. We've loaded in where a bubbly machine was used... slipping and sliding around. I don't recommend using them unless the bubbles will not come in contact with the main floor or people who are dressed in their finery.
