    Vesuvio II FAQ’s

    Quickly find answers to common questions about setup, operation, and features of the Vesuvio II
    What kind of effect does the Vesuvio II create?

    The Vesuvio II creates dramatic, high-output plumes of fog that are instantly lit up with vibrant colors. Using its built-in red, green, blue, amber, and UV lights, it can simulate effects like colorful volcanic eruptions or cryogenic-style jets, adding a spectacular visual impact to performances and events.

    How can the Vesuvio II be positioned for an event?

    The Vesuvio II is highly versatile and can be used in multiple positions. It can be placed on the floor to shoot fog vertically upwards, positioned horizontally to blast fog across a stage, or mounted overhead with brackets to shoot downwards, giving you creative control over your atmospheric effects.

    What makes the lighting on the Vesuvio II special?

    Its lighting system is designed to fully saturate the fog with rich, even color. The Vesuvio II uses two separate sections of advanced LEDs, which ensures that the entire plume of fog is brightly lit from base to tip without any dark spots, creating a more complete and impressive visual.
