The Harrier-1500’s innovative design means it can provide either vertical or horizontal jets of smoke to rapidly fill larger venues. This powerful smoke effect can then be highlighted with an array of colours from the 24 bright LEDs housed in the unit. The smoke and light effects are easily controlled using either the control panel on the unit, the included keyfob-style RF wireless remote or by 7-channel DMX connection. The 2.5 litre fluid bottle can be removed for easy refilling and there is a slot window to indicate the current fluid level.
