Frequently Asked Questions
About special effects machines
Can these effect machines work with DMX lighting controllers?
Yes. Most models support DMX512 control, alongside remote or manual operation.
Are cold spark / flame machines safe for indoor wedding events?
Cold spark machines are low-temperature and safe indoors. Flame machines require strict safety clearance & site protection.
Can waterproof fog machines run outdoors in rainy conditions?
IPX3/IP55 models resist splashing water, not heavy direct rain. Shelter is still required.
How long is the warm-up time for fog and haze machines?
Warm-up takes around 8–10 minutes, depending on machine power.
Can I mix different brands of effect fluid for my machines?
Not recommended. Mixed liquids may cause residue buildup, clog pumps and damage the unit.
What maintenance work do special effects machines need after each event?
Drain remaining fluid, clean filters and check connections to avoid blockage and failures next use.
