Established 1991, hazebase continually provides superior foggers and hazers. Based in Wedemark, Germany, hazebase embodies quality and excellence in manufacturing standards and unsurpassed customer service. All machines, accessories and fluids are analyzed under the strictest standards of quality control. hazebase also provides a wide range of quality pharmaceutical-grade, water-based fog and haze fluids. We are proud that our machines are designed, engineered, and manufactured in Germany.

The FAB hazer is an elegant and efficient hazer that is a truly revolutionary machine, with less than two second warm up time. The FAB unit is two rack spaces high and comes in a rugged 19” two tone Amptown road case in hazebase black and orange. The 2.8” full-color touch screen display automatically rotates through 180° allowing easy programming regarding the unit’s orientation. The unit is auto-ranging 100-240V AC via an included powerCON TRUE1 power cable. As a result of its low power consumption, through power has also been included in this 500W package. If haze value is set to zero, the machine automatically auto cleans. Essentially, this cycle clears all tubes and the pump of fluid and sets itself into a standby mode. This shuts off power to the heating element making this unit efficient on power and takes the burden of unnecessary power consumption on the heating element. There are two blades in front that allow the user to orientate the direction of the haze output or sweeps the haze at the user’s request. Two axial fans can be controlled from 0 – 100% and are extremely quiet. This intelligent unit also features 10/100 Mbit Ethernet with an integrated two-port switch. Control options are Art-Net, sACN, DMX512/RDM. The FAB uses BaseV fluid by hazebase and gauges fluid consumption that can be seen on the machine or tracked via RDM. As compression is not required in this package, a small replaceable blue sintered air filter is conveniently located for ease of switching out for dirty or dusty environments. This filter is conveniently placed for ease of access to keep this unit running optimally. BaseV fluid is a newly developed highly concentrated, pharmaceutical grade, water based vegan fluid. The 1-Liter BaseV vegan fluid uses only 223ml per hour at full, making this very efficient on fluid consumption. Mounting options are also available and are supplied with a clamp and safety cable.

Specifications: Warm-up time 5 seconds; Fluid bottle 1000 ml; Haze density 1-100% controllable; Integrated fans two 100m³/h axial fans, each controlled from 0 to 100%, speedometer signal; two motorized controllable air leading blades, swiveling +/- 45 °; DMX footprint 2 or 3-channels (Fluid pump, fan speed, angle); 2.8” TFT display with capacitive touch panel, automatically display rotation (0° / 180°); Communication interface 10/100 Mbit Ethernet with integrated two-port switch, 5 pin XLR In/Out; Supports protocols Art-Net, sACN, DMX512, RDM; Integrated sensors: Fan speed, Fluid level, Accelerometer, Temperature sensor; Integrated battery four NiMH batteries for configuration without power cord; Approved, tested fluid Base V.

A German manufacturer of fog and haze machines, Look Solutions has a reputation for reliability and efficiency. From its inception 25 years ago, Look Solutions has evolved from a boutique manufacturer to a major supplier of fog and haze machines for the motion picture industry, theme parks, stadium tours, and major theatrical productions. Important live events, such as Olympic ceremonies, Super Bowl shows, and televised awards presentations, have all relied on Look Solutions for some or all their atmospheric effects. The company’s invention of a technology for low-power fog led to the development of the Tiny Fogger machine, which earned them an Academy Award for Technical Achievement.

Look Solutions USA is the company’s North American branch, supplying machines, fluids, and services for the USA and Canada. The products stocked in their New Jersey warehouse are made specifically to meet North American needs with 120V power and standard Edison electric plugs. The machines and fluids also conform to Actors Equity regulations and ANSI Technical Standards. Repair parts and warranty service are available from the New Jersey location, an important factor since many machines manufactured more than 20 years ago are still in use.

Over the years, Look Solutions’ products have become more popular as concerns for health of performers and audiences have increased. During the COVID pandemic, many productions required exclusive use of Look Solutions’ machines and fluids, due to the renowned German engineering of their machines and the purity and cleanliness of their fluids – qualities that productions did not hesitate to test for themselves.

Look Solutions manufactures a wide range of machines, from tiny units for creating smoke from a teapot or costume to giant systems designed for arena laser shows and outdoor movie shoots. They continue to develop new machines and invent new technologies with the goal of satisfying the evolving requirements of all types of users of atmospheric effects.
