IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION - Please read carefully
The use of pyrotechnics, indoors and outdoors, is at the sole discretion of the operator, who will have taken full note of
the prevailing situation.
Operators are warned that pyrotechnic devices can sometimes vary in their performance and no guarantee is given by
Le Maitre or its agents that every pyrotechnic device will perform the same.
This must be borne in mind when siting devices.
Le Maitre pyrotechnics must only be used in conjunction with Le Maitre firing systems or Le Maitre approved devices.
Any approved device will have written approval from Le Maitre. No liability of any sort will be entertained by Le Maitre
where pyrotechnics are used with an unapproved firing system.
We are often asked what is a safe distance from an effect, or what is the safe working height. As every situation is different
it is impossible to give any definitive solution. What is required is a profound knowledge of the product being used, matched
with a proper risk assessment. If the product is new to the user it should be observed in a safe outdoor location so that
the effect can be fully ascertained before being used indoors.
HSE CAD documentation is available for each pyrotechnic effect.
Full safety information and Le Maitre’s Code of Practice are available on 020 8646 2222.
If you are in any doubt whatsoever as to the firing of an effect, then please refer to these guidelines or contact us
directly for detailed advice and instructions.
Le Maitre, ProStage II and PyroFlash names are registered Trade Marks of Le Maitre Limited.

PyroFlash or ProStage II?
Le Maitre manufactures two ranges of stage pyrotechnics.
- The first range is PyroFlash. This is the system with plug-in cartridges. The PyroFlash system is a simple Plug and Play
system for semi-pro users. Le Maitre's patented Pyroflash system has been regarded as the safest in the industry since
its conception more than twenty five years ago.
- The second range is ProStage II. ProStage II is our professional range of pyrotechnics. ProStage II pyrotechnics do not
plug into our PyroFlash pods; instead the effects have wires for connecting to pyro circuits. Our ProStage II
pyrotechnics were developed using modern day techniques.

New Projection Cartridges and Hardware - better product, lower price!
Our new smokeless projection cartridges are now in a longer, thinner tube, which allows greater projection of the contents.
All of these new devices still utilise our Variable Angle Pod (1103), but do require an additional piece of hardware, the Fixing Clamp (1110) that
prevents the device from being projected from the pod as it uses a pinned base.
Confetti Cartridges
These replace the old style PyroFlash and ProStage II Confetti Cartridges; that is, 1232 and 1232B (PyroFlash range) and 1515 and 1516

ProStage II Pyrotechnics
ProStage II is our professional range of pyrotechnics. ProStage II pyrotechnics do not plug into our PyroFlash pods; instead the effects have
wires for connecting to pyro circuits. Our ProStage II pyrotechnics were developed using modern day techniques.
ProStage II Pyrotechnics are designed for professional users over the age of 18 years old.
It is important to remember that the use of pyrotechnics, indoors and outoors, is at the sole discretion of the operator, who will have
taken full note of the prevailing situation.
Operators are warned that pyrotechnic devices can sometimes vary in their performance and no guarantee is given that every
device will perform exactly the same. This must be borne in mind when siting devices.
We are often asked what is a safe distance from an effect, or what is the safe working height. As every situation is different it is impos-sible to give any definitive solution. What is required is a profound knowledge of the product being used, matched with a proper risk
assessment. If the product is new to the user it should be observed in a safe outdoor location, so that the effect can be fully ascer-tained before being used indoors.
ProStage II must only be used with firing systems that are either designed for the purpose by the company, or have written approval
from the company. No liability of any sort will be processed where ProStage II has been used with unapproved firing systems.
ProStage II Stage Gerbs
The ProStage II range of professional Stage Gerbs are identified by
the burn time in seconds (first number) x the height in feet
(second number).
For example: a 1/4 x 20 is a gerb of 1/4 of a second
duration that reaches a height of 20ft.
Heights are also given in metres.
ProStage II has probably the largest list of stock stage gerbs of any manufacturer.
Most items will be off the shelf, but some will be subject to minimum order
quantities and lead times.
All our Stage Gerbs are boxed in 10s.
Most Stage Gerbs are also available in bulk quantities of 250, with igniters.
Only 1/4 x 6 to 1 x 25 Stage Gerbs are fitted with igniters.
DURATION: as specified (see page 10)
FALLOUT: cold
Please note:
The height of a gerb is defined as the height to the top of the main plume, some sparks will go higher.

Waterfalls
Waterfalls are a speciality of ProStage II. These are specific Waterfall effects and should not be
confused with upside down Gerbs or a typical firework waterfall stick.
Traditionally there have been two types of waterfall: an inverted gerb giving a rushing effect, or
the archetypal waterfall with a large choke producing a liquid water effect but with a huge amount
of very hot fallout hitting the floor.
ProStage II Waterfalls use a new type of choke that gives the best of both effects without the tubes
catching fire. A gentle Waterfall effect which is much cleaner than traditional waterfalls.
Please note that the red caps are no longer fitted or supplied with our Waterfalls. If required, these can be sent out
at no additional charge AT THE TIME OF PLACING THE ORDER. However, should these red caps be needed without the
Waterfalls, they are available to purchase.

Silver Cascades
Our silver cascades are similar to our waterfalls but the whole effect is denser. They only need to
be positioned 7.5 cm apart to create a much fuller effect than our waterfalls.
Our silver cascades are therefore a cheaper option, as you don't need as many as when using our
waterfalls. Much fuller effect which looks similar to an inverted Gerb.
Please note that the red caps are no longer fitted or supplied with our Silver Cascades. If required, these can be sent
out at no additional charge AT THE TIME OF PLACING THE ORDER. However, should these red caps be needed without
the Silver Cascades, they are available to purchase.

8oz Gerb
4oz Gerb
These 1.5 inch Gerbs produce a dramatic spray
of sparks to a height of approximately
6 metres, for a duration of 25 to 30 seconds.
These 1 inch Gerbs produce a dramatic spray of
sparks to a height of approximately 4.5 metres,
for a duration of 25 to 30 seconds.
4oz and 8oz Gerbs are the largest of the Stage
Gerbs in the ProStage II range. The plume of
sparks is wider than that of normal gerbs,
producing more of a Christmas Tree shape. This
means that there will be hot fallout associated
with these effects and they are recommended
for use in large venues only.
ProStage Holders are available for use with
these gerbs.

The SureFire Wireless System has been designed for the increasingly complex demands of the professional
pyrotechnician. Pyrotechnic effects are often located where cable runs would be difficult; for example, bullet
hits on the body, in a lighting truss, ice shows...
Each receiver unit is assigned to a channel using its channel addressing dip switch.
Each receiver has a stand by time of up to 30 hours with two new good quality PP3 batteries.
The wireless system can fire an unlimited number of receivers. Each receiver can fire up to 5 effects
in series.
Uses a unique 48 bit encryption technology to transmit a data stream to the receivers. This data
security system ensures that there is NO risk of accidental misfire.
Every system also has its own embedded 4 digit pin number for complete safety.
Fires over a maximum 150 metres (500ft) line of sight range.
Match continuity LED, battery check LED and receiving signal LED on each receiver.
The controller is available as a desk or a rackmount unit.

Stadium Hazer
The Le Maitre Stadium Hazer is a revolutionary new concept in the manufacture and delivery of vast volumes of non-toxic haze.
It is generally accepted that oil haze leaves deposits and water/glycol haze is ineffective and expensive on consumables. The Stadium Hazer
allows huge amounts of haze to be delivered without the problems of oily deposits, and with cost effective, non-toxic consumables.
The patented delivery system is designed for easy maintenance and is programmed to self-clean on start up and shut down. The delivery arm
can be angled through 120 degrees and has a variable speed booster fan to project the haze to where it is required.
The DMX receiver is a fully compliant, flash memory, 512 channel unit, with rotary selection switches. An LED status indicator differentiates
between No signal, Receiving signal, Idle in high state and Idle in low state.
In order to be easily compliant with the growing use of the ‘talkback’ protocol, bi-directional communication already exists between the main
control section and the remote station. When ‘talkback’ DMX becomes fully standardized, the remote station will be able to transmit with
minimal hardware upgrade.
Twin fully filtered Switch Mode Power Supply units.
10-stage variable output.
Remote station combines 512 channel DMX (rotary selection - In and Out 5

The Dragons
Le Maitre is the official European dealer for The Dragons, the amazing gas system designed and manufactured by Pyrotek in Canada.
The Dragons is a propane gas system that has been successfully used at indoor concerts all around the world. Each unit is able to fire a column
of flame up to 15 metres.
Each unit operates a maximum of two flame heads. If more flame heads are required, more Dragon units are needed. The heads can also be
replaced with other effects, such as Dragon tails that create a wall of fire rather than a single column.
The control method is DMX. This means that sophisticated controllers are relatively inexpensive and readily available all around the world.
There is a very specific routine that needs to be run prior to firing the Dragons, so short incorrect dmx bursts will not accidentally trigger the
flame. Because each unit is analogue and requires no specific boot time or routine, it is possible to attach the power supply for the Dragons
to a “dead man’s switch” for maximum security.
There are two versions of the Dragons available: one has a 60lb accumulator and the other has a 100lb accumulator. Obviously the 100lb is
better because it can supply a sustained large burst for longer.
The Dragons can produce a spectacular flame effect of up to 40ft in height. This system has been used successfully throughout the USA and
on many tours in Europe and the UK, including Jay Z, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Britney Spears and more recently Take That.
They can be hired with an operator for indoor and outdoor venues, or can be purchased in Europe only exclusively through Le Maitre for tours
or permanent installations.
Also available are Dragon tails which create a wall of flame.
For more details or for a demonstration in our London office, please contact our Events department on +44 (0) 20 8646 2222.
Please note that due to the nature of the equipment Le Maitre can and will refuse to supply anyone it deems unable to handle such a piece of equipment safely.

Aqua Visual FX
Le Maitre, in partnership with Pyrotek Special Effects Inc., is proud
to showcase its latest and greatest special effect product line
offering, the Aqua Visual FX.
NEW
Aqua Visual FX is designed with a new and innovative water management system. The technology includes automatic and optical
control sensors that allow complete water cycling and creative
programming automation.
The water modules are manufactured in 6ft lengths with the ability
of interconnecting to produce custom water screen lengths of
12ft, 24ft, 36ft and 48ft. Additional 2ft sections can be designed for
custom tailored requirements.
With the ability to exhibit a visual graphic-rich story of designs,
shapes, logos, text and the capability to display custom artwork
from controlled water droplets, the Aqua Visual FX is one of today’s
most innovative notice boards: "a waterfall notice board".
With its user-friendly software, the Aqua Visual FX can be
customized to meet whatever its user desires.
The system for showcasing falling water images, text and other
types of water effects comprises of three major components:
a water management system, which controls the flow of
water to maintain consistent water-based effects.
a central computer system, which manages the complete
system, including the storage and the programming of
sequences of images to produce complete “shows” or a
series of water effects.
a series of intelligent droplet controllers, which “pixelate”
the falling stream of water.
en at
As se
On a par with the aesthetic display is the product quality.
Designed by a team of technical engineers, the Aqua Visual FX has
a complete water management system with automatic and
manually controlled indicators, creating a spill proof system. It also
offers three separate filtration systems to maintain the quality of
the solenoid components.
The Aqua Visual FX can be hired with two operators for indoor
venues in the UK and Europe, or can be purchased exclusively
through Le Maitre for tours or permanent installations.
For more details or for a demonstration in our London office,
please contact our Events department on +44 (0) 20 8646 2222.
The Aqua Visual FX is currently seen in the Never Forget Musical.

Fake Flame™
The Fake Flame™ is a patented product designed by Back Stage
Technologies Europe (BSTE), and built by Le Maitre Ltd.
The Fake Flame™ creates the illusion of real gas flames, but uses
absolutely no flammable products! It works by projecting coloured
light onto a swirling screen of vapour in order to create a very
realistic artificial flame. It is the nature of the swirling vapour
which will determine just how visually effective this is.
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.
Visit our website to view
this great effect in action.
Far better than silk flames and cost effective to run (with 2.5 litres of haze fluid giving 60 to 80 hours of continuous operation),
this system is ideal for fixed installations as well as touring and hire work.
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.
The flame effect is best viewed against a black or dark background and with the vapour screen strip at or just above eye level.
The Fake Flame system does not produce the most realistic effect in areas where air movement is present. The best results are achieved in
completely still environments.
Each Fake Flame™ module weighs about 70kg and is constructed from epoxy powder-coated steel with a matt black finish (so it will withstand
touring).
The unit can be placed on stage or mounted flush under the stage.
The Fake Flame™ is only available through Le Maitre and its authorised distributors.

NEW
The Fire Chameleon system does not use a gas supply to create its
dramatic flame effects and is, therefore, considerably safer than some
propane gas systems that are currently in the market place.
The Fire Chameleon uses Mini Mist-sized canisters of fuel which simply
screw into the Fire Chameleon module in the same way as a can of
smoke fluid screws into a Mini Mist smoke machine.
The canister contains everything the system needs, i.e. the fuel,
the propellant and the colouring agents.
There is a choice of colours available: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange,
Pink and Purple.
Each Fire Chameleon module will accept up to four canisters at one time and these will be selectable via DMX allowing the operator to choose
any one of the four coloured flames they desire.
Other systems currently in the market place enable you to select colours in this way, but the Fire Chameleon also allows you to
mix the colours, so the operator, for example, could select Green or Red or both Green and Red to give Yellow.
The operator can also increase the operational time of each module by inserting four of the same colour canisters into each machine and in
this way, when one can is empty, they simply select the second (via DMX), and then the 3rd and so on - and the show goes on!

bottle with no need for a gas accumulator.
The DMX512 facility enables multiple units to be linked together to create dramatic chase sequences, as well as being programmed into any
show.
The Fire Ant™ has many safety features, maximum flame height adjustment, remote flame height adjustment and remote E-stop pendant.
The Fire Ant™ is available in two models:
• Fire Ant™ – STE (Standard)
• Fire Ant™ – STE-DMX
Both Fire Ant™ versions come with:
1 x Power cable

Megatron
The Megatron is a very high powered, liquid nitrogen, fog cannon. Capable of engulfing an entire dance floor with freezing fog in just a few
seconds, these cryogenic cannons are the ultimate nightclub effect. Blasting up to 6 cubic metres of fog per second from its 35mm diameter
nozzle, the megatron uses liquid nitrogen at -198°C to create its awesome effect.
These cryogenic fog cannons first started out in the clubs of Ibiza and Miami, but have now been installed in super clubs all over the world
from the UK to Russia.
The effect is primarily intended for nightclubs but can also be used to mask scene changes, simulate smoke as in the blast from a rocket takingoff or as an icy finale to an attraction or show.
A loud roar also accompanies the effect as the system blasts up to 50 litres of liquid nitrogen per second into the atmosphere.
A recent development is the conversion of the system from Liquid Nitrogen to Liquid Air which eliminates any need for oxygen depletion
monitoring and means the effect can be used as much or as little as required with no adverse effects on health or worries about respiratory
problems.
The Megatron comes in two standard sizes, although systems can be designed and built to suit any size venue and with any number of effect
heads.
All Megatron fog cannons are "made to order" and have a lead time of a minimum 10 to 12 weeks from receipt of order.

Liquid Fire
Liquid Fire is a dancing, outdoor, fire effect.
Made up from multiple effect heads, each capable of firing a streamer of fire 8m into the air, the
Liquid Fire system is an ideal accompaniment to firework displays, as a substitute for dancing
water fountains or for a dramatic show in its own right.
Each head can be up to 10m from the next (with 12 heads, that’s 120m wide show! See photo below)
and is fully DMX controllable, so complex sequences can be programmed using any standard
lighting desk.
Each head has automatic spark ignition of its gas pilot which, in turn, ignites the main fire effect.
With full, individual, flame monitoring and quick connections on all inputs, the system is both
extremely safe and easy to set up.
Each system is built to order, with the client’s specifications in mind and comes with one central
pump and control station for each set of heads.
Standard systems are available with 4, 8 or 12 heads, although there is no reason this cannot be
increased to whatever size required.

CO2 Jet
The CO2 Jet is a simple, instant, effect which has been designed for maximum impact on a smaller scale than our TerraFog or Megatron fog
products.
The CO2 Jet, as the name suggests, runs on liquid carbon dioxide and creates a blast of cold white fog between 2 and 4 metres in length
(depending on gas pressure and ambient conditions).
The CO2 Jet is fully DMX512 compatible with DMX “in” and “link”.
Running from 240V 50Hz, the effect is triggered by the internal, high pressure, solenoid valve and fires from the black “horn” which can be
swivelled to the desired position and then locked off.
The CO2 Jet comes in two versions: Standard CO2 Jet and DMX CO2 Jet.
For further information, please visit the CO2 Jet page on our website.

TerraFog™
TerraFog™ is a patented design and was brought about by a desire from the nightclub market to have a high powered smoke effect to simulate
the large liquid nitrogen fog cannons seen in some of the super clubs of Ibiza and Florida but at a fraction of the cost!
TerraFog™ uses one or two Le Maitre G300 smoke machines (not supplied) to give a visual effect. It also uses carbon dioxide for the cooling
effect, compressed air or nitrogen for the pneumatics and special fog fluid to ensure the effect disappears quickly.
The combination of these things gives a very large blast of cold fog that can be blasted upwards, down on to the audience or across a stage
in a matter of seconds!
This product is also useful to simulate rocket blasts or explosions in theme parks as well as for reveals on stage, etc.
Available in one standard model (TF-3), it comes flight cased, although no smoke fluid is included as this needs to be ordered separately.
For further information, please visit the TerraFog™ page on our website.

The Freezefog Pro is used in conjunction with a Le Maitre Freezefog enabled smoke machine,
such as the G300 or Speedfogger Pro, to produce an extremely powerful dry ice effect.

Smoke and Haze Fluids
Visit our website to download
the COSHH for each of our fluids.
Le Maitre’s smoke fluids are specifically designed to create different effects for different applications.
Different smoke effects are created by the blend of glycols and water used; it is up to the user to choose what kind of effect they require.
We, at Le Maitre, pride ourselves on providing top quality products. Our smoke fluids are made from a sugar and water based mix and
are therefore extremely safe and residue-free.
We strongly recommend you to use our branded smoke and haze fluids with our machines,
as using other manufacturers’ fluids might damage your machine and invalidate the warranty.

Le Maitre’s Events
Le Maitre’s Events consists of a team of people dedicated to design, augment and deliver any type of special effects; from a one-off product
launch using a pyrotechnic display to a year long Rock 'n' Roll tour. After taking an initial enquiry from a customer, this division specialises in
organising a pyrotechnics show that is totally customised and individual in its concept, design and implementation.
Events prides itself on being a truly unique set up, with a remit ranging from plain and simple advice to organising the logistics of a global tour.
Le Maitre’s team of experienced designers and pyrotechnicians are always on hand to offer advice for the smallest show to the largest extravaganza. They can design and fire numerous shows for Rock ‘n’ Roll tours (Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé, Meat Loaf...), corporate launches,
musicals (Spamalot, Grease, Never Forget...), television and films.
Our products are shown on all Award ceremonies for pop artists, including the MTV, the MOBO, the BRIT Awards and the Eurovision Song
Contest, for live and television audiences.
Our Outdoor displays range from such contracts as The Edinburgh Festival, the Winter Olympics to the G8 Summit display, which was fired
from the roof of Buckingham Palace in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen and the world’s great leaders.
What makes Le Maitre's Events department so different from any other company?
Le Maitre designs and manufactures the pyrotechnics, so all our designers are totally familiar with the complete range of special
effects available.
Our global network of distributors allows our products to be imported to any country for shows and tours. This makes Le Maitre the
only company to use their product on a tour and not to have to change it halfway through when a tour moves from one continent
to the next!
Le Maitre's ability to design and fire both indoor and outdoor shows with the same level of expertise.
The resources available to Le Maitre from their pyrotechnic factory in Peterborough.
With a team of experts, including a Doctor of Chemistry, Le Maitre can design tailor made and innovative special effects for your
requirements.
30 years experience in pyrotechnics and special effects. A comprehensive understanding of the constantly changing regulations sur-rounding moving, storing and using special effects in any environment.
A hire department allows customers to fire their own shows if they are familiar with the equipment and pyrotechnic effects.

Down Memory Lane...
30 years of explosive passion by the Masters of Fog and Fire...
Le Maitre was started in 1977 by Martin Blake and his old friend and sound engineer, Rick Wilson.
Over three decades of continuous research and product development, backed by in-the-field experience, have enabled Le Maitre
to become one of the largest, if not the largest, manufacturer of stage pyrotechnics in the world and the leading supplier of
pyrotechnics, smoke generators and theatre effects to the entertainment industry.
We are very proud of our achievements and even prouder to share our mesmerising effects whether it might be on a stage or on a
silver screen. Le Maitre has become a household name in many different industries over the years, all over the world.
Get ready to see even more of our awe-inspiring effects in the 30 years to come!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a license to buy and operate pyrotechnics?
No, it is however an offence to supply fireworks or pyrotechnics to anyone under the age of 18.
Does Le Maitre run training courses?
Le Maitre recommends the course by Lincoln Parkhouse, which is independently run. Details of courses can be found on the Association of
Stage Pyrotechnicians website at www.stage-pyro.org.uk
Can I order directly from you?
No, we operate a worldwide distributor network. The chances are we will have a distributor in your neighbourhood. Please contact our Sales
team on 020 8646 2222 to find your local distributor. Details of our distributors around the world can be found on our website:
www.lemaitreltd.com/Distributors.asp
Do I need a license to store pyrotechnics?
Possibly. You should check with your local trading standards department. The information you will need is the hazard type (usually 4), the Net
Explosive Quantity (this can be found on the side of the shipping box as NEQ or NEC) of the pyrotechnics you will be storing. You may also need
to know the UN Numbers for pyrotechnics; these are 0432 for 1.4s and 0431 for 1.4g. The laws regarding the storage of explosives changed in
2005, you should check the new MSER regulations to ensure you comply. Below is a brief “in a nutshell” version of how MSER affects
pyrotechnic users.
- You can store up to 5kg of Explosives from Hazard Type 4 without a license.
- You can store up to 100kg of Hazard Type 3/4 for less than three days.
- Pyrotechnics should no longer be stored in locked metal boxes or cabinets, instead they should remain in the outer shipping box as
this box has been approved to United Nations standards
Please note that these weights only apply to the explosive content and not the gross weight. Explosive weights can be found on the MSDS Sheets
(on our website) or on the brown delivery box (NEC or NEQ mark).
A summary of how MSER affects pyrotechnic users can be found at www.lemaitreltd.com/ftp/docs/mser.pdf
How do I dispose of old pyrotechnics?
For small amounts of pyro (except Plastic maroons and Microdets) you have two options:
- You can attempt to fire the device outside at a safe distance.
- You can immerse the device in a bucket of water for 24 hours. You should pierce any paper tops so that the water can easily
permeate the device.
If you have a large amount of old pyro, we operate a free disposal service. Please call 020 8646 2222 to arrange a pickup.
If you have Plastic Maroons and Microdets to dispose of, you should first attempt to fire them in a bomb tank outside at a safe distance. If this
is not possible, they will have to be sent back to us for disposal. You will need the correct box and labels and use a courier service that will
accept 1.4G shipments. Please contact us for details. We can arrange a pickup service, but we may have to make a charge for this service.
Alternatively you can bring any old pyrotechnics to either our London factory or our Peterborough factory for disposal.
Where can I find the Safety Distances for your products?
We stopped giving our products safety distances back in 2000. There were lots of reasons for us doing this. The main reason was that many
operators are using pyro at angles and sometimes even upside down. If we were to give a safety distance and someone got hurt, we could be
liable. Instead of issuing safety distances, we now recommend that you fire the effect in controlled conditions outside to familiarise yourself
with the effect. You can then implement any safety distances yourself and document them in your risk assessment.
Are all products from stock?
Most of them are. However, at busy periods, such as Christmas, our stock can become depleted quite quickly. We hold a large amount of the
most popular stock at our Mitcham factory. We can send out shipments to our distributors on a next day delivery service if we receive the
order before 3pm (UK time). We can also arrange same day vans to most of the country at additional cost. If your distributor does not have a
product in stock, they can request that the shipment goes directly to you. We have a regular van run each week from our factory in
Peterborough. These are usually on Tuesday or Wednesday. All UK Shipments can only leave via our Mitcham office (unless you want to collect
from Peterborough).
More FAQs can be found on our website: www.lemaitreltd.com/FAQ.asp
These questions are written for UK users. Customers in other countries should contact their local government regarding local laws about pyrotechnics.
