Algam Lighting LAPS2000 - High-performance 1500W professional smoke machine
The Algam Lighting LAPS2000 redefines the standard for atmospheric fog machines for entertainment professionals. Designed for demanding stages, this 1500W unit is not just another fog machine; it's a precision tool capable of transforming any space in seconds. Its engineering stands out for combining impressive raw power with delicate control, thanks to its advanced fluid management system.
What truly sets the LAPS2000 apart from other conventional machines is its ability to generate a massive airflow of 850 m³/minute , an outstanding figure for its category, guaranteeing complete coverage in large venues, nightclubs, or outdoor events. Furthermore, its robust construction and professional connectivity options, such as PowerCon ports and W-DMX compatibility (via USB), make it the preferred choice for rental companies and lighting technicians seeking reliability and quick setup.
Total control with immediate shut-off valve
One of the most important innovations of this model is the integration of an electromechanical shut-off valve . Unlike inexpensive machines that continue to emit residual smoke after the emission is cut off, the LAPS2000 stops the jet instantly. This allows for the creation of "CO2"-type effects or precise bursts synchronized with the music, avoiding the unwanted haze that often obscures visibility on stage when smoke is not required.
Autonomy and Power for Long Events
Forget about constant refills mid-event. The LAPS2000 features a large 5-liter tank , designed to withstand long, uninterrupted work sessions. Its efficient heating system reaches operating temperature in just 5 minutes , allowing for continuous bursts of up to 30 seconds, ideal for climactic moments in live performances or intense DJ sets.
Key benefits for the professional
-
Stage cleaning: Thanks to its shut-off valve, fluid dripping and passive smoke release are prevented, keeping the floor dry and the environment controlled.
-
Versatile control: Operate it as you prefer: manually, using the included wireless remote, or integrate it into your lighting console via DMX.
-
Future-proof: The dedicated USB port makes it easy to power wireless DMX receivers, eliminating unnecessary cables on the truss or stage.
-
Connection security: The PowerCon power input ensures that the cable does not accidentally disconnect during the show, an indispensable standard on tours.
Recommended use cases
This machine is extremely versatile and adapts to multiple environments:
-
Concerts and Festivals: To quickly fill stages and highlight the beams of moving heads and lasers.
-
Clubs and Discos: Thanks to its 6-meter jet, it can cover large dance floors with a single shot.
-
Theaters and Auditoriums: Its precise control allows for the creation of subtle or dramatic atmospheres without the excessive noise of lower quality machines.
-
Filming and TV: Ideal when smoke is required at very specific times without residual fog floating indefinitely.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of liquid should I use?
It is recommended to use high-quality, standard water-based smoke fluids. For fast dissipation effects (CO2 type), use light density (Fast Dissipating) fluids.
Can it work vertically?
Although it is primarily designed for horizontal use, the power of its pump and the shut-off valve allow shots at a certain angle, provided that the fluid tank is kept in a safe position to prevent spills.
Does the wireless controller come included?
Yes, the unit includes a wireless remote control for operation without the need for a DMX console, which is ideal for simple uses or fixed installations without an operator.
How does the USB port for W-DMX work?
The USB port provides 5V power specifically designed for compatible wireless DMX receiver dongles, eliminating the need for external power supplies.
