Flame Machine - yes or no

[ppentertainments]

I really fancy a couple of these : http://www.djanddiscostuff.com/prodpage.asp?prodid=3489

The main reason is to 'bulk' myself out a bit. However whenever I mention this to people I get negative comments.

So - Yes, No, Don't really know

[mattydinx]

There used to be a lot of negativity towards them a few years back, but I think they're becoming a lot more affordable and worth the expense nowadays.

Yes from me :D

[thex-faders]

its an item that has never really grabbed me as looking outstanding. Or somthing I think would make the rig look better.

Why not grab a couple of ropelights to really set them off? Or a couple of fuzzes??
:o

[DeckstarDeluxe]

Hate the things, cheap and tacky looking and has no place on my rig.....

[Excalibur]

Chris, for that Wow factor, have you considered the flame machine Angela linked to? ;) :D

I'm dangerous enough without that ;) :D

[funkymook]

I'd like a few of the real flame machines for a home security system!

As for these ones, like most effects, they could look good used in the right setting, and awful in the wrong one.

[Cowlinn]

Nahh, one of these any day ;)

Anyhow you forgot the Fal spot banks

[big beat discos]

i have a soundlab version people are mesmerised by it ...but you got idiots touching the cloth!!!! great effect though imo...:)

[TONYTIGER]

A Marquee company i work with a lot get a lot of hire jobs for these ,they put them at the entrance of there marquees look quite good when it gets dark,but i would not use them as part of my set up.

[Chris1984]

im not a fan - have only seen a few discos with them and they all looked tacky

[supersound]

but you got idiots touching cloth!!!!

You should have pointed them to the toilet area:)

Seriously tho Chris,with the work you do I cant see the application of a flame light working.
Proms,grand openings 18ths yes but not premier weddings.

[Leicester Ben]

We have just put a couple on our hire stock and are getting them flightcased. They have had a mixed reaction so far.

We dont take them out on discos though.

[Mark Wild]

One either side of your booth for weddings? I quite like then, not sure why :o

[ppentertainments]

Quite interesting results. I keep in contact with a number of brides who have used me for their weddings - I ask their advice.

The overwhelming majority liked the idea of the flame machines :confused: :confused:

Guess my research will continue ...................

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

I use them for the party nights in some of my venues during December and at that price might buy a few more.

Only thing that would put me off these is the bloody Henry The Hoover noise they make.....

One would hope the sound of the music playing would hide this ;) :D :D :D

They are not too bad really, heard some at phase one the other day and background noises cancel this out.

First dances can be quite quiet though huh ! The people hush up, the music is soft and old Henry The Hoover is givin' it the large one. ;) :D
