Rosco Mini-V Fog Machine

Rosco Mini-V Fog MachineThe Rosco Mini-V Fog Machine is the most affordable, compact fog machine in the Vapour Range.  Delivering a powerful, continuous stream of fog, Mini-V’s small design and energy-efficient, durable heat exchanger make it a perfect choice for mobile users or applications that lack the space for a larger machine.

Simple functions mean easy operation, no hassles and solid reliability.  The Mini-V heats quickly and delivers a solid stream of fog, triggered by an on/off rocker switch. No training is required for assistants, students, technicians or engineers – just press and hold to make fog.

This light-weight unit is easily transported to any location that needs a professional-grade fog machine – making the Mini-V ideally suited for photographers, mobile DJs and event planners.  The Mini-V fits comfortably into standard duct work, making it an excellent choice for industrial applications, such as HVAC testing.

We Sell & Install Stage Curtains

Stage Curtain Details

Stage curtains are special!

Custom-tailored for every theatre, stage curtains are one of the most visible parts of any stage.  They must be rugged, beautiful…and flame retardant.  Typically sewn from panels of cotton velour, time and dust will eventually cause stage curtains to become fragile, tattered, faded remnants of their former glory.

Types of Stage Curtains

Depending on the environment in which they hang, and how they are maintained, most stage curtains will loose their flame retardancy and need to be replaced after 10 or 20 years.

Parlights can help.

Measuring Stage Curtains

Our team has the expertise to help you evaluate, budget, and replace your curtains if necessary.  Often, the information we need is located on a tag at the bottom of each curtain.

If a site visit to measure and evaluate your curtains is required, Parlights will schedule a time to meet with you at your facility and take the appropriate measurements.
(this service is offered at no charge to many customers in the Mid-Atlantic region).
