UK - Lighting Partners is now the exclusive distributor for Hazebase Products in the UK and Ireland. The distribution agreement, having been under discussion for a number of months, was finalised during ProLight&Sound in Frankfurt.

"The move to Hazebase was a logical decision for the company," commented Lighting Partners director, Iain Dennis. "Hazebase products share technology, components, and consumables with Smoke Factory so we already have huge experience in selling and supporting the range."

Uta Raabe, owner of Hazebase in Germany explained: "This collaboration with Lighting Partners in the UK marks a significant milestone in the development of the Hazebase brand worldwide. The UK Market is an important one for any manufacturer and finding a company which shares our ethos of first class customer service has taken us some time."

Coinciding with the distribution announcement is the launch of Base-Cap, Hazebase's first 650W smoke machine. Iain Dennis notes: "This is the machine that has always been missing from the range. It's a cost effective solution for those only needing a smaller machine but while maintaining the pedigree of quality. This will be a machine which can be locked away for 10 months and will work first time when called upon. Furthermore, common fluids across the range make sense for rental companies with requirements for small and large machines."
