Short answerHaze is a fine mist that makes light beams visible. Smoke is thicker and comes in bursts. Low fog stays close to the floor, a bit like dry ice.

More about smoke & haze

Which one suits you mostly comes down to what you want people to notice. Haze is the subtle one. You will hardly see it in the air, but it catches the light, so every beam from our lighting becomes visible. That is what turns a dancefloor into a proper party. If you are already booking lights, haze is usually the one that makes them worth having.

Smoke is for drama. The machine gives bursts of atmosphere, which works well for an entrance, a first dance or a big moment in the night. Low fog is a different effect again, creating a cloud across the floor rather than filling the room.

They also pair well with our DJs and lighting, so you can add one to a package you are already planning. Prices start from £35 including VAT. We deliver, set up and collect, with delivery priced by distance and shown in the instant quote. A 25% deposit secures your date.
