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 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. Visit our website to download our MSDS and COSHH for each of our products.

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.

Please check with the Sales office to ensure you order the correct size holders for your gerbs. 10 www.lemaitreltd.com [email protected] 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.

PP364 PP357 PP358 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.

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.

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 pin XLR) with 0-10v 3 pin XLR and manual control of both output and fan speed. Auto clean on start up. Typical fluid use of 500cc per hour. Twin haze generating circuitry. Continuously variable fan output up to 600 cubic metres per hour. Haze distribution arm is fully adjustable and lockable, allowing output from 30 degrees below horizontal to 90 degrees vertically. Replaceable, cleanable haze generator 'pipes'.

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.

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 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. SIZE: Length 1.20m x Width 48cm x Height 35cm WEIGHT: 70kg POWER: 220/240v Fire Chameleon Product codes: 3005: Fake Flame (240v) 3005A: Fake Flame (110v) 2948: Haze Fluid (4 x 2.5L) See page 35 for the fluid required for this machine. 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! SIZE: Length 44cm x Width 20cm x Height 20cm WEIGHT: 4.5kg (without canisters) POWER: 220/240v, 50Hz 28 Product code: 3008 New Range of Special Effects NEW Fire Ant™ The Fire Ant™ is a small, propane, gas effect designed for use within theme parks, concerts, theatres, stage use, training purposes and the entertainment industry. The Fire Ant™ is a great device for applications that require one or more real flame effects. The unit can be operated directly from a propane 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 1 x 5m propane gas hose 1 x Gas bottle regulator 1 x 10m remote control cable 1 x Remote control pendant with emergency-stop For further information, please visit the Fire Ant™ page on our website.

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. For further information, please visit the Megatron page on our website.

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.

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. Product codes: 7010: CO2 Jet (Standard) 7011: CO2 Jet (DMX) SIZE: Length 20cm x Width 5cm x Height 20cm WEIGHT: 1.5kg POWER: 220/240v, 50/60Hz 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.

This gun is the same as the single Electronic Flash Gun, but has two barrels which can be fired one at a time. Hand Flasher Flint Flasher The Flint Flasher is a mechanical flash gun. It gives the effect of a quick flash of fire from your hand, with no smoke. It has a heavy duty brass striker and uses a small piece of flash cotton for each shot. The Hand Flasher is a smaller version of the Single Electronic Flash Gun. It shoots up to about 2 metres. It needs two batteries, and uses a piece of flash paper for each firing. Electronic Flash Wand Double Electronic Flash Wand A magician’s wand that fires a brilliant ball of fire 3 to 4 metres in the air. It requires two AA batteries, flash cotton and flash paper. Same as the single Electronic Flash Wand, but can be fired once from each end before reloading. Flash Cord Flash Cotton Flash Cotton burns much quicker than the Flash Paper, creating an instantaneous flash of fire. Flash Paper Flash Paper is made from nitrocellulose and burns quickly and completely with a bright orange flame and leaves no ash.

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. 39 Catalogue supplied by: 6 Forval Close, Mitcham, Surrey, Wandle Way, CR4 4NE ENGLAND www.lemaitreltd.com [email protected] + 44 (0) 20 8646 2222 + 44 (0) 20 8646 1955 Le Maitre, ProStage II and PyroFlash names are registered Trade Marks of Le Maitre Limited.
