Yellow Smoke Flare MA0509-ZAW – intense yellow smoke for approximately 50 seconds
The Yellow Smoke Flare MA0509-ZAW is a single-ended smoke generator classified in CE category P1 and equipped with a convenient pull-ignition system. Once activated, the product produces intense, bright and highly visible yellow smoke for approximately 50 seconds.
The mechanical pull igniter allows the smoke flare to be activated without a lighter or an open flame. Place the product upright on a flat, stable and non-flammable surface, activate it according to the instructions on the packaging and immediately move to a safe distance.
The MA0509-ZAW features single-ended emission, meaning that the yellow smoke is released from only one end of the product. This makes it easier to plan the direction of the effect, position the smoke device correctly and prepare a safe area for use.
The price applies to 1 yellow smoke flare.
Intense yellow smoke for photography and video
Yellow smoke creates a bright, energetic and eye-catching visual effect. It looks particularly impressive against blue skies, dark buildings, urban architecture, green vegetation and open landscapes. The MA0509-ZAW yellow smoke flare is therefore suitable for creative photo shoots, video recordings, music videos, promotional content and other permitted outdoor productions.
The approximate duration of 50 seconds provides enough time to take a series of photographs, record a longer video shot or synchronise the smoke effect with a selected moment during an event. The final intensity, shape and movement of the smoke cloud depend on wind speed, temperature and the conditions at the location.
Yellow smoke flare with pull ignition
The MA0509-ZAW uses a mechanical pull-ignition system, eliminating the need to light a traditional fuse. Before activation, select an open and safe outdoor location and place the product upright on a stable, flat and non-flammable surface.
Activate the pull igniter with a firm movement, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Immediately move to the recommended safety distance. Once activated, the smoke flare must not be touched, picked up, moved or directed towards people, animals, vehicles, buildings or flammable materials.

Video showing the yellow smoke effect
Before purchasing, it is worth watching the attached video showing the actual effect of the product. The recording makes it possible to assess the shade and intensity of the yellow smoke, the method of emission and the approximate operating time under outdoor conditions.
The colour shown in photographs or videos may vary slightly depending on lighting conditions, camera settings, the background and weather conditions.
Safe use
Use the product only in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Place the smoke flare upright on a flat, stable and non-flammable surface. Immediately move to a safe distance after activating the pull igniter.
Do not use the product indoors, under roofs or canopies, near dry vegetation, forests, vehicles, flammable materials or busy roads. The smoke flare should also not be used in locations where the smoke could restrict visibility or create a hazard for other people.
Before use, check the wind direction, wind speed, weather conditions, local regulations and the rules of the location. Strong gusts of wind may cause the smoke cloud to move rapidly beyond the planned area.

PiroHiT expert advice
For the strongest visual contrast, position the yellow smoke flare against a blue sky, dark building façade or intense green vegetation. This combination helps the bright and energetic yellow smoke stand out clearly in photographs and video recordings.
Check the wind direction before activation and plan where the smoke cloud will travel. During a photo shoot, position the model several metres away from the smoke source, on the side towards which the smoke is moving. This allows the smoke to fill the frame naturally without placing the photographed person directly beside the product.
For larger productions, yellow smoke can be combined with blue, red, green, black, white or orange smoke. Always maintain appropriate safety distances between individual smoke devices.
