CO2 JETs

Need an explosion of energy and excitement? We have the effect for you.

The CO2 JET effect is one of our newest additions and will be guaranteed to wow your audience. A CO2 Jet is a powerful and exciting tool that can add a visually impressive and dramatic effect to any event. Whether you are producing a concert, hosting a club night party, or organizing any other special event, a CO2 Jet is a tool that can help to create a memorable and impactful experience.

A CO2 jet is a special effects device that uses compressed carbon dioxide (CO2) to create a powerful burst of white, fog-like plume. This type of effect is commonly used in various events such as concerts, parties, and stage performances. It is a popular choice for DJs, event planners, and production designers as it adds a stunning visual effect to their shows. 


Wireless Uplighting

Uplighting has become an essential element in transforming the ambiance of weddings, parties, and various events. Our uplighting is completely wireless, battery powered and water resistant. With the strategic placement of lighting fixtures on the floor, uplighting creates a stunning effect by illuminating walls, ceilings, and architectural details. This technique allows event planners to effortlessly establish a particular mood or theme, whether it's a romantic and elegant wedding reception, a vibrant and lively birthday celebration, or a sophisticated corporate gathering. The versatility of uplighting enables the creation of a mesmerizing atmosphere, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of any venue. From providing a soft, warm glow to accentuating vibrant splashes of color, uplighting adds an extra layer of enchantment to any occasion, making it a favorite choice for transforming ordinary spaces into extraordinary ones.

Follow Spot lighting

Follow spots are an integral part of creating captivating and dynamic experiences at concerts, corporate events, and private functions. From the dazzling lights that sweep across the stage to the dramatic highlighting of key performers, follow spots play a crucial role in enhancing the overall visual impact. At concerts, these powerful spotlights intensify the connection between the artist and the audience, illuminating their every move and amplifying their presence on stage. For corporate events, follow spots are employed to focus attention on keynote speakers and honorees, guiding the audience's gaze and generating an atmosphere of prestige. Private functions, such as weddings and galas, are equally enhanced by the use of follow spots, as they add an enchanting touch to formal affairs, accentuating the elegance of the setting and highlighting the main performers or speakers. Whether it's captivating a crowd or creating an intimate ambiance, follow spots elevate the experience and leave an indelible impression on attendees.
