LDI will see the unveiling of a brand new hazer - the EcoHazer, making a world first preview on Le Maitre's booth.
Le Maitre hazers are already known for their incredible output and low power consumption, not to mention the haze fluid which converts to produce the purest, most efficient and long lasting haze on the market. The new EcoHazer takes the environmental aspect even further and Le Maitre believes that it is the most energy efficient water-based hazer on the market today!
The EcoHazer consumes a low 100-150W, a rate that other haze units on the market with a similar output simply can't match, with many requiring up to 1500W - that's ten times the electrical energy! The EcoHazer uses a completely new heating system borne out of Le Maitre's R&D team's experience when they developed the HazeMaster and which provides two significant benefits. Firstly it is highly efficient, drawing less than 0.4 amps at operating temperature. Secondly it is self-regulating temperature-wise, so there's no risk of burning the fluid or damaging the unit.
Le Maitre has been chosen by German manufacturer TBF-Pyrotec GmbH as the exclusive North American distributor for their flame range. TBF's Spraymaster, Spraymaster Multicolour, Fountain Flame; Single Shot; Pyromaster and 5-Master will now all be sold by Le Maitre in the US (excluding Las Vegas) and Canada.
Says Bruce Baum, COO & CFO of Le Maitre USA, "We are absolutely delighted that TBF-Pyrotec has recognised Le Maitre's perfect positioning in the marketplace to be able to successfully promote and sell their flame units and consumables. TBF-Pyrotec has been developing and producing great flame machines and effects for the entertainment industry for over 10 years and their machines complement our existing offering perfectly."
Christoph Muller, Managing Director of TBF-Pyrotec based in Geesthacht, Northern Germany, commented, "We have a great range of effects which are well known within Europe but until now we haven't had as much exposure in the North American market as we would like. We are extremely happy to appoint Le Maitre USA, LLC as our sole Distributor there. Le Maitre is a global brand, highly thought of throughout the industry and we had no hesitation in knowing they were the right people to channel our flame range through. I look forward to working together."
Le Maitre will have the 5-Master, Pyromaster and Spraymaster on their booth at LDI along with video footage of all the effects they will be distributing.
Le Maitre's latest range of pyrotechnics, the VS - "virtually smokeless" range is continuing to expand and receive excellent feedback from the market, followed up with increasing orders.
"The VS range is in line with Le Maitre's strategy of continuously introducing the best range of visually stunning pyrotechnics on the market ensuring spectators get to see the effects at their very best!" states Karen Haddon, joint managing director and owner of Le Maitre Ltd.
"In the year of the 20th Anniversary of the G300 Smoke Machine we are delighted to be running an original 20 year old G300 on the Le Maitre USA stand and which will be located next to a brand new G300 model, underlining just how durable this industry leading unit really is," says Bruce Baum.
