The Full Story
(Plasa 2005)
FakeFlame LaunchedFakeFlame™, launched at PLASA 2005, is a patented product designed and built by Back Stage Technologies Europe (BSTE) exclusively for Le Maitre Limited.
FakeFlame™ creates the illusion of real gas flames but uses absolutely no flammable products! The system was designed for use in theatres and theme parks as well as on concerts and in nightclubs where a flame effect is desired but it is deemed simply too dangerous or just not practical to use real gas.
Better than silk flames and cost effective to run (with one litre of FakeFlame™ fluid giving over 80 hours of continuous operation), this system is ideal for fixed installations as well as touring and hire work.
Each FakeFlame™ module weighs less than 25kg and is constructed from epoxy powder-coated steel with a matt black finish (so will withstand touring!). The unit can be placed on stage or mounted flush under the stage.
Measuring 1.2m wide, 0.48m deep and 0.35m high the system creates a linear fire effect of 1.2m wide. The effect reaches the very edge of the unit so multiple units can be placed side-by-side to create as wide an effect as desired.
Production begun in December 2005, so pre-ordering is advised as demand is very high!
