Black Smoke Flare MA0509-ZAW – intense black smoke for approximately 50 seconds
Black smoke flare MA0509-ZAW is a single-ended smoke generator classified as CE P1 and equipped with a convenient mechanical pull-ignition system. Once activated, it produces dense, intense and clearly visible black smoke for approximately 50 seconds.
The mechanical pull ignition allows the smoke flare to be activated without a lighter or open flame. Place the product vertically on a stable, level and non-flammable surface, activate it according to the instructions on the packaging and immediately move to a safe distance.
The smoke is emitted from one end of the product because the MA0509-ZAW features single-ended emission. This makes it easier to plan the direction of the effect and prepare a suitable, safe location before use.
The listed price applies to 1 black smoke flare.
Intense black smoke for photography and video production
Black smoke creates a powerful, high-contrast and attention-grabbing visual effect. It is particularly striking against bright skies, light-coloured buildings, open landscapes and green vegetation. This makes the black MA0509-ZAW suitable for creative photography sessions, film recordings, music videos, promotional content and other permitted outdoor projects.
The operating time of approximately 50 seconds provides enough time to take a series of photographs, record a longer video sequence or synchronise the smoke effect with a specific moment during a production or event.
The final shape, density and direction of the smoke cloud depend on factors such as wind strength, wind direction, temperature and the conditions at the selected location.
Black smoke flare with pull ignition
The MA0509-ZAW uses a mechanical pull-ignition system, so there is no need to light a traditional fuse. Before activation, choose a safe and open outdoor area and place the smoke flare vertically on a stable, non-flammable surface.
Activate the pull mechanism strictly according to the manufacturer’s instructions and immediately move to the recommended safety distance. Never touch, lift or move an activated product. Do not direct the smoke outlet towards people, animals, vehicles, buildings or flammable materials.

Safe use
Use the smoke flare only in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Position the product vertically on a level, stable and non-flammable surface. After activating the pull mechanism, immediately move to the recommended safety distance.
Do not use the product indoors, under a roof, near dry vegetation, forests, flammable materials, vehicles or busy roads. Do not use it in places where smoke could restrict visibility or create a dangerous situation.
Before use, always check the wind direction, weather conditions, local regulations and the rules of the selected location. In strong winds, the smoke cloud may quickly move outside the planned area.

Yes. Intense black smoke creates strong visual contrast and can be used for photography sessions, promotional recordings, music videos and other permitted outdoor productions.
PiroHiT expert advice
For the strongest visual contrast, position the black smoke flare against a bright sky, a light-coloured wall or an open landscape. This will make the dark smoke cloud clearly visible in photographs and video recordings.
Always check the wind direction before activation. During a photography session, position the model several metres away from the smoke source, on the side towards which the cloud is moving. This creates a natural surrounding smoke effect without placing the person directly next to the product.
For larger productions, black smoke can be combined with lighter colours such as white, red, blue or yellow. Always maintain safe spacing between individual products. See also the PiroHiT 2026 product ranking.
