Description
The GX2 is an effect device for the creation of straight flame effects of up to 6m height.
The GX2 uses Propane/Buthane bottles as a fuel supply, and can also be used with Aerosol cans by usage of the additional accessory "Aerosol adapter". Another option is the upgrade of the Projector for use with liquid fuels. In this case, the GX2 is modified in a way that it can access an external pumping station with fuels like Bioethanol, ISOPAR or Isopropylalcohol.
Regardless of the control variant, the gasprojector always uses a solenoid valve to control the gas or fluid regulation, as well as an electrical high voltage spark for ignition. The usage of different nozzles and fuels influences the effect height and the setting of the effect time can change the form of the effect (Flame ball or fire pillar).

About flame effects
How it works
Flame units produce real fire on cue, from a short burst to a column of several metres. Gas units burn propane or a propane/butane mix from cartridges or cylinders. Liquid units atomise a flame fluid and ignite it, which gives a flame with more body; some can add colour.
What you need
Fuel: gas cartridges, or a gas cylinder with regulator and hose, or flame fluid. The nozzle sets the size of the flame. Fuels and colour additives are in consumables; hoses, regulators and nozzles are in the accessories of each unit. Not sure whether gas or liquid suits your show? Read liquid vs gas flame: how to choose.
Safety
Every unit has its own safety distances and an indoor or outdoor rating; respect what the product sheet and the manual say. Keep an extinguisher at hand, watch the wind outdoors, and use a safety arm system so that no effect can fire by accident.
Frequently asked questions
Can flame effects be used indoors?
Some units can, in large venues and with the approval of the venue and the fire service; others are for outdoor use only. Check the rating on the product sheet.
