Main Features 

10 inch to 10 foot adjustable “flame” e

ect

Adjustable valves for air and water

Safe Flame e

ect

Product Description 

The VF8b is a flame e

ect

 

that

 

attaches to the standard 7.5-inch gel frame slot

 

on

 

an 

LED Leko or Par

 

fixture

 

turning a standard light into a VaporFlame e

ect fixture. 

 

Our 

most

 

versatile

 

fixture, the VF8b can create

 

a range of e

ects from

 

a low 10-inch flame 

to a 10-foot blaze

 

and can be mounted at any angle.

 

 

No heat

 

or

 

flammable

 

material

 

makes

 

the

 

VaporFlame safe to use in close proximity to 

artists, gear, and scenic pieces. 

 

 

The VF8b takes 2 channels of DMX, for individual control of the air and water output. 

 

Adjustment dials allow the user to control the fullness of the flame from the unit, 

creating the most realistic fake flame

 

available. 

 

 

Connected to any potable water line and air supply, the VF8b consumes

 

only 1/4th 

gallon of water per hour and 3

 

cfm of air. VaporFlame fixtures atomize

 

their vapor 

plumes so as not to collect on gear or surfaces. 

 

Using the available adapter, the VF8b can be bolted to a Blizzard Lighting Tournado 
fixture.
