2 LIGHTSALIVE Lights Alive is a manufacturer and value-added reseller of lighting and special effects products. We offer holiday and band/dj/club lighting and special effects products. Our signature product is the FireFly® family of lightning simulators. The ProLight-200 high-power LED light is the only light designed and built especially for lightning simulation. Our line of miniFLICKERs simulate candles, fire, or electrical faults, We also build our 16-channel MonsterEyes, an ‘eyes-in-the-dark effect with personality, and Paparazzi and Paparazzi Pro, 32 and 128-channel disorienting LED curtain strobe emulators. Other products include a range of active and passive infrared sensors and an ultrasonic sensor unaffected by fog and haze. We also design and build the MANTIS line of prop controllers. Our Chameleon light controller can turn any music into a light show without programming. Chameleon is scalable, and can light anywhere from a small band or DJ to an entire mall or stadium simply by adding additional power management units, Chameleon is great for queue lines or scenes. Lights Alive was established in 2006 as a reseller of Halloween and Christmas lighting and props, but soon expanded to become a leading manufacturer of specialty lighting and prop controllers and lights. Lights Alive products are used nationwide by major haunted attractions, theme parks, haunted houses, corn mazes and home haunts. I applaud your customer service and satisfaction, it’s hard to find companies that still have it. I look forward to doing business with you, and I hope to send you some more business later. - Ken C, Rancho Cucamonga, CA I have personally not seen a lightning emulator that can hold a candle to the Firefly in design and functionality. I didn’t just fall off the pumpkin wagon when it comes to electronic engineering. Being an amateur techno geek who designs and builds sound modules and having a degree in technology from Indiana University I can tell you this is no under-engineered device. It’s built like a tank inside and out with a level of flexibility that is only topped by its user friendly interface. I have spent hours with the Firefly and can tell you, in my humble opinion, this device is a Cadillac!! - Virgil F, Linton, IN Unfortunately I didn’t see your superior product until after I ordered an xxxxx lighting controller, and I’ve been waiting for over a month… then I get an e-mail that says they are out of stock. Sucks for me because of Halloween being so close, but it does give me the opportunity to purchase your product instead… Thanks for getting back to me so promptly, and thank you VERY much for giving me the straight story. Unfortunately, the company I dealt with before didn’t understand the idea of not promising something that you don’t have, but I’m happy to see that you do. - Shawn Y, Erie, CO Lights Alive 8206 Rockville Rd., #186, Indianapolis, IN 46214 317-244-2250 [email protected] www.lights-alive.com FireFly new FF-511 - The best just got better 800% FASTER PROCESSOR - NEW features - improved functionality FireFly, the undisputed industry leader, has long been the standard by which all other lightning simulators are measured. Lights Alive has again raised the bar with significant upgrades to our flagship product, the FF-501, resulting in faster operation, more features, and a name change to FF-511. More complete details may be found on our website. • FireFly FF-511 offers four lightning channels plus a dedicated dimmer channel. New features include an 800% faster processor, more sophisticated randomizing, the ability to turn on one or more lights for positioning, two speed options and a brownout reset to prevent lockup due to a power glitch. • FireFly 201 has two lightning channels, or one lightning and one dimming channel. • FireFly 101 offers one channel, for either lightning or dimming. FF-511 ProLight-200 We weren’t satisfied with LED lights available for lightning simulation, so we did something about it. Lights Alive developed and built the ProLight-200 to use with our FireFly lightning simulators. They’ve also been tested and approved for use with i-Zombie lightning simulators. The black anodized aluminum housing resistant, and suitable for outdoor is weather seasonal use. No additional enclosure required except in extreme situations. Unique LEDs with photonic lattice technology provide optical power and brightness which are not possible with traditional high power LEDs. 5700 degree Kelvin (daylight white). Remains white, even when dimmed, thus producing much more realistic lightning simulation than incandescent lamps. Median lifespan well over 60,000 hours (to 70% intensity) Rated @ 2A, 120vac. FF-201 FF-101 Lights Alive • www.lights-alive.com • 317-244-2250 3 4 miniFLICKER miniFLICKER is designed to generate the effect of flickering flames. Three versions are available, each with its own program to closely simulate candle flames, loose electrical connections, or roaring fires. All models have two channels, rated at up to 150 watts per channel. They also include an “effects” control to adjust the speed and depth of a specific effect. EFFECTS AVAILABLE: Model MF-202/C Candle flame Model MF-202/F Roaring fire Model MF-202/E Faulty electrical connection COMPATIBLE LIGHTS: SPECIFICATIONS: Housing: Textured black flame retardant ABS with mounting flanges Size: 2.4” wide x 3.29” long (4.375” including mounting flange) x 1” deep (1.25” including control) Controls: Top mounted rotary effect control. Electrical rating: 150 Watts per channel, 300 watts total. Connections: Polarized AC plug and two polarized AC outlets Power supply: 120 volt AC, 60 Hz, 3 amp maximum. Circuitry: All solid state, microprocessor controlled LED, incandescent, halogen, dimmable CFL, cold cathode MonsterEyes MonsterEyes is a light controller with personality. It gives the effect of up to sixteen pairs of eyes in the dark, or in a prop, or wherever you want to place them. Green or blue (your preference) eyes calmly blink at random. But when ‘startled’ (external trigger input can be an IR sensor, floor mat, hand or foot switch, etc.,) all eyes suddenly snap to an angry bright red. Then, they gradually blink and fade until all lights are out, then gradually come back individually in the original color and behavior. Place eyeballs in the rafters to simulate bats. Or hide them under furniture like rats, or locate them in bushes. Removable wiring harnesses (four wire pairs per harness) are available. Lights Alive dual color LED ‘eye boards’ are available, or discrete LED’s can be incorporated into a prop run by MonsterEyes. LED boards are connected via plug, so boards can be disconnected from the harness to pass wires through a hole and eyes used on the other side. MonsterEyes is available as packages with eight or 16 sets of eyeballs, and as individual components. The ‘startle’ effect can be triggered with Lights Alive sensors, or with a variety of hand and foot triggers or pressure mats, as long as they provide a switch closure. Paparazzi & Paparazzi Pro Paparazzi is a 32 channel mini curtain strobe lighting controller that uses 5mm ultra bright LEDs to simulate the flashes of Paparazzi around your favorite celebrity. The effect is that of 32 electronic flashes firing at random. And you can place this unit in hallways or small rooms to completely disorient your guests. Paparazzi is great anywhere you wish to attract attention. This adds a superb twinkling (quite bright) to your Christmas tree too. Paparazzi Pro offers the same strobe curtain effect, but in a larger 128-channel version. In addition to the disorienting effect in a dark room or haunt, it works great as an attentiongetter in retail displays. Lights Alive • www.lights-alive.com • 317-244-2250 MANTIS Controllers miniMANTIS-2 miniMANTIS The Mantis family takes controllers to a whole new level with list of features far too extensive to list here. The microMANTIS is a digital event timer that uses rotary (analog) controls to quickly set an otherwise all digital device. Those controls consist of a PRE DELAY to adjust the amount of time between when a trigger is received and when the action takes place. The EVENT TIME control determines how long an event (prop jumping, light lighting, fogger fogging, etc) takes place. And the POST DELAY determines the amount of time before the device can be triggered again. The miniMANTIS is a single channel programmable prop/event controller using the “key-banger” approach to record and play back the user’s actions. microMANTIS The miniMANTIS-2 is trainable in the same manner as the mini, but offers two channels with up to 32-amp control, and high-quality onboard audio. With it’s audio level indicators, the miniMANTIS-2 gives you great audio on the first try. Unique to the Mantis family of products is our Lights Alive Direct Connect. Connection between any Mantis controller and any Mantis sensor or trigger is as simple as plugging in cable. In addition to the modular LADC connection, screw terminals are provided to accommodate third-party triggers. The microMANTIS, miniMANTIS, and miniMANTIS-2 are available in a quality housing, with no exposed circuit boards. In addition, the micro and mini are available as a built and tested board without case for OEM use in props. MANTIS Sensors In addition to our line of active infrared beam-bounce and beam-break sensors, we’re raising the bar for passive infrared motion sensors Our microprocessor-controlled sensors use quad-zone sensors instead of the usual two zones found in most PIRs, to improve sensitivity and reduce false triggers. The sensors operate on 9 to 15 volts DC, and have a built-in relay to trigger your controller or other device. There are four varieties to match to your individual situation: the Standard-range PIR for up to 16 feet; the Narrow PIR, with the same range but only 38 degrees horizontal view, the Long-range PIR for up to 32 feet, and the Slight-motion PIR with a shorter range but higher sensitivity. We’ve responded to users requests, and added screw terminals for power and relay closure, along with our Lights Alive Direct Connect jack that provides a one-click confirmed connection with our controllers. The ranging ultrasonic and active infrared sensors can be adjusted for a minimum and maximum operating range. The ultrasonic sensor is unaffected by any haze, fog, or ambient light in your haunt since it operates by sonar rather than infrared light. The ranging active infrared operates between 40 inches and 18 feet, while the ultrasonic operates between 8 inches and 20 feet.

Tips & tricks I f your FireFly 501 LEDs and lights blink randomly when you’re in Stereo Mode 2, it’s not stuck in test mode. Instead, turn your Threshold control down. I f one channel of lights won’t work, first be sure you’re using stereo audio cables, both on the input and the output. Lights Alive • www.lights-alive.com • 317-244-2250 ...Packages and Bundles MonsterEyes Packages MonsterEyes is an incredibly easy to use, yet quite sophisticated controller for creating the illusion of eyes in the dark. Each of MonsterEyes sixteen channels operate at random and totally independent of the other channels so there are never detectable repeat patterns. In operation, each pair of eyeballs pops on at random, blinks a couple times, then fades to dark. Typically about 75% of the eyeballs will be on at any one time. This feature adds some animation to your display rather than just blinking some lights. are extinguished will the blue and green eyes begin to appear at random. MonsterEyes packages are available as a sixteen-channel package with the MonsterEyes controller, four wiring harnesses, sixteen eyeball boards, and our MS-301X infrared bounce sensor, or as an eight-channel package with the same components, but two wiring harnesses and eight eyeball boards. This system can be expanded later to a full sixteen-channel MonsterEyes system by adding additional eyeball boards and wiring harnesses. As always, systems can be custom-configured. Different sensors or triggers can be substituted, and some users may prefer to wire their own LED’s in place of the eyeball boards using our wiring harnesses. “Startle” the monster (by an external trigger) and all eyeballs instantly pop on and turn a blood red. Once the trigger has cleared, the eyes slowly begin to fade to darkness. Only after all red eyes Custom-color eyeball boards can also be built by special order. ProLight-FX The ProLight-FX follows the successful introduction of the ProLight-200 LED flood with an all-new effects lighting unit unlike anything else available on the market.

Lights Alive • www.lights-alive.com • 317-244-2250 9 10 Chameleon Chameleon is a highly intelligent (microprocessor-based) lighting controller that creates a professional light show without the need for expensive pre-programmed shows or time-consuming custom programming. Simply connect Chameleon to your audio source and to your lights, then start your favorite music playing and you have an instant synchronized light show. Unlike sequenced systems, Chameleon interprets the pitch (frequency) and the volume (amplitude) of the music, then translates that information into light on-the-fly. Specifically, a low pitched tone will trigger one channel while a high frequency triggers another channel. A mid-frequency triggers yet another light, etc. The intensity of the light is proportional to the volume of the sound. In other words, quiet sounds yield small amounts of light whereas loud sounds create bright light. Chameleon yields a far more accurate and realistic interpretation than is possible with sequenced systems programmed via your computer. You can also change your choice of music at any time, without the tedious need to program a new show to match the music. If you already have a sequenced show, Chameleon can be incorporated into your existing show. A complete Chameleon system will consist of a Chameleon Control Unit, or CCU, and one or more Power Management Units, or PMU’s. Multiple Chameleon PMU’s can be added to a single CCU, to give virtually unlimited light capacity in a single system. Chameleon is also available as an all-in-one unit, with the control and power management units together in a weather-proof metal enclosure. Strobes & Black Lights Strobes and black lights are available in a variety of sizes and styles to fit your needs. The SL-1311 is a low-voltage high-intensity LED strobe.
