Pop and Sizzle Christmas Lights?

Hi all,

The director for a show at our company brought up a way to get Christmas lights on a tree to pop and sizzle, maybe even smoke a little bit, but I have never heard of what he is talking about.

It sounded like there was some sort of dot that you stuck onto the lamp and as it heated up it would begin to smoke. I'm not sure where the sizzling would come from however. He told me that he has used these in the past, but I just don't know.

Do you have any thoughts or ideas about this?

Thanks!
 
I have never heard of a smoke 'dot' for lights and have just asked all the guys I work with and they haven't heard of anything like that although one person did suggest a heat sensitive paint, i tried finding something online but had no luck. i know how you can make them flicker if you are not DMXing them. and to make them pop and sizzle... maybe just use a SFX and DMX the lights that you want to pop out individually so you can control which ones go out?
