Are there equipment options available?Įquipment options for FauxFire are as follows: The smoke version is oil based (Propylene Glycol) and is generally used for short term applications such as trade shows and special events. Though there are two forms of FauxFire systems, (smoke and steam) we generally sell the steam based system for permanent and long term applications due to the ease of service, reliable nature of boiler systems and the fact that steam is a water based product. Also, the background against which the FauxFire effect is viewed should be kept as dark as possible, black being optimal. However, the system can be utilized outdoors at night, if the conditions are controlled.įor proper visual appearance, the ambient lighting around the FauxFire appliances should be controlled so as not to “wash out” the effect since this is ultimately a lighting effect. The FauxFire® Simulated Fake Fire System effect is not generally sold for outdoor applications because there is usually limited control over air currents (wind) and ambient light levels. The base to the equipment can be surrounded with a low wall or other scenic, as long as a minimum 6″ air gap is maintained to allow for proper ventilation. Though the grating can affect the appearance of the FauxFire to a degree, none of our clients have found this to be a problem. In specific stage situations, Technifex has had success using certain types of metal grating over the top of our FauxFire equipment. Any type of cover interferes with the animation and lighting and can cause the effect to be compromised. If the effect is to be of the highest quality, the top of the equipment space must be open and unobstructed. Can the effect be covered for concealment of equipment? That being said, the equipment can be placed in a trough below floor level such that the FauxFire appears to emanate at floor level.Īn optional Light Block can be added to lessen the visibility of the light fixtures. The FauxFire appliances should be placed such that guests will not be able to see the equipment that produces the effect. The FauxFire can be made viewable from both sides with the Dual Light option. Is the FauxFire effect viewable from both sides? There are methods for dealing with this, which we can suggest on a case-by-case basis. It must be noted that there may be gaps in the flame effect in this configuration. Image Galleryĭ = 20.00″ Can FauxFire appliances be used in a curved or circular pattern?Ī FauxFire® Simulated Fake Fire System effect can be created as a segmented arc or circle, using Technifex Products standard straight appliances, within the limits of the required space. However, the system can be utilized outdoors at night, if the conditions are controlled. NOTE: The FauxFire effect is not generally sold for outdoor applications because there is usually limited control over air currents (wind) and ambient light levels.
