Atmospheric and physical effects for stage, events and touring: smoke, haze, low fog, dry ice looks, snow, bubbles, confetti, wind and the fluids that keep it all running, from ADJ, Chauvet DJ, Chauvet Professional, Equinox, LEDJ and Elumen8. The best sellers give a fair picture of the spread, from the ADJ Fog Fury Jett PRO vertical fogger and Equinox Vapour 1000 hazer to the Chauvet Cumulus HP low-lying fog machine.

The sub-categories split by effect, so start from the look you need rather than the machine type. Haze Machines produce the fine, even atmosphere that makes light beams visible; Smoke Machines give visible clouds and vertical bursts; Low Fog and Dry Ice Machines keep fog at floor level for first dances and theatre reveals; Snow, Bubble and Wind Machines handle the more literal effects; Confetti Canons cover drops and hits; and Smoke & Haze Fluid holds the consumables, scents and cleaning fluid. Whichever route you take, match fluid to machine per the manufacturer, and think through the venue side early: smoke detection, floor residue and extraction all shape what you can actually run on the night.

Stage Supply supplies effects alongside the DMX control, rigging and cabling to integrate them into a show, with trade accounts for production companies.
