fixture, that creates a bright, and awesome kaleidoscope effect, using 
multiple gobos and colors. The fixture can operate in three different 
operating modes; stand alone, sound-active, or in a Master/Slave con-
figuration. The Illusion 250™ comes with several built in programs and 
is best used in multiples of four. When used as a stand alone unit or 
when used in multiples linked in a master/slave configuration.

results use fog or special effects smoke to enhance the beams projec-
tions.

smell  may  arise  from  the  unit.  This  is  a  normal  process  and  is
