Le Maitre Smoke Bursts deliver an instantaneous burst of dense coloured smoke for maximum visual impact.
Designed to produce a dense, highly visible cloud of coloured smoke with no fallout, Smoke Bursts create an immediate visual effect that stands out even in bright daylight conditions. Their intense colour makes them ideal for outdoor events, festivals, sporting occasions, military and emergency response training, film and television productions, and any application where traditional pyrotechnic effects may be less visible in sunlight.
Red (R), Orange (O), Yellow (Y), Green (G), Lime Green (L), Blue (B), Pink (P), Purple (PU), White (W) and Black (K). Additional colours are currently being introduced across the Smoke Collection; please contact us for the latest availability.
Smoke Bursts are also available with optional Glitter (G) and Crackle (C) effect variants. These suffixes are added to the end of the product code (e.g. SMB16RG = Red Glitter, SMB16RC = Red Crackle).
All product codes and prices can be found on the current price list.
Product codes follow the formula:
SMB16 + Colour Code

Smoke Bursts also have the option of being harnessed, making them a T2 product. As a result, certain specifications and operational requirements differ from standard consumer pyrotechnics. Please contact us for further information.
The dB level distances stated on the website are those at which testing was conducted for CE certification and should not be considered safety distances. The radial safety distance and direction-of-effect safety distance are the distances that must always be adhered to.
