At BigDjsystems, we've done our best to create a Web site that anticipates and satisfies our customers' needs. With that goal in mind, we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions. If you do not find an answer to your question here, contact us at (303) 503-2899
Q: Do I need to use a smoke machine ?
A: A smoke machine is not a requirement, but it will enhance lightning effects. If you are using a laser system, a smoke machine or hazer is required to see the aerial effects.
Q: Will a smoke machine trigger the smoke alarms in my building ?
A: Possibly, because of many venues use smoke detectors that measure density of particles in the air, fog effects (especially dense fog effects) can “fool” the detectors and trigger a fire alarm. If you are unsure of what type of smoke detector your venue has, consult with the head of maintenance or , as a last resort, notify the fire department and do a test shot.
Q: My fog effect triggers the fire alarms! Does this mean I can’t do fog?
A: Not necessarily, It’s a little known fact that, according to NFPA regulations, smoke detectors do not have to be turned on during a performance: all that is required is some way of notifying you and the fire department in the event of fire.
Q: How much power do I need ?
A: Our systems do indeed draw a lot of power. In many cases we need our systems to be on several separate circuits, so no fuses will blow.
