Thanks for the video. on these cheap firing systems, the red LED under each cue will illuminate bright red when you have continuity on the circuit. I knew your button press would fail as all of the LEDs were dim. Before shooting your show, go to each module and ensure each LED under a cue you have a match/igniter on is BRIGHT red.
I was going to buy one of these i started doing research on them and i came across this video now i dont want to get one because im afraid it wont work and i do big shows on new years and 4th of July
That what I'm thinking. I'm a licensed Pyro and I wouldn't hang around with someone jabbing holes in a firework. There are adapters that clip right on the fuse so you can use an e match
@@davidwallace3224 what sort of licensed pyro are you lol? in years I have NEVER seen a clip on igniter used for a professional display. that being said, this video is not exactly good or safe advice.
Hey guys thank you for the feedback! Remember, brass is a metal that does not cause sparks. Therefore, using it to punch into the powder to place the match is completely safe. We deal with TONS of companies that put the electric match directly into the firework Blackpowder. Edit: Yes, keep the plastic cover over the Ematch that you insert. This prevents from inadvertent fire It is safe and works well. 💪
@@phfamilyfireworks yeah I am glad you used brass! thats the safe way to do it. Please don't ever remove the shroud from the ematch though. they can be incredibly sensitive to friction or impact. that plastic shroud is there to protect the tip. just bore a slightly larger hole into the cake and gently insert the ematch WITH the shroud covering the tip. then fold it up and tape once over the hole and then anywhere else over the wire as strain relief. Thick brown packing tape is what most of us use. it won't come lose sitting in the sun and it adheres to the cardboard tube better than most other tapes. I know multiple people who have had a nearly fatal accident by tugging on ematches or removing the shroud. The ematch went off with a product still attached. be safe!
@@AB_PyrotechnicI saw a video with doing ematch on canister shells. Is there an easier way to use FireWire with canister shells? Or safer way? I don't like the talon igniters so I'm trying to finally use FireWire for canisters instead.

Received a system like this yesterday excited for this 4th
You are going to love it! Just make sure you touch the match end to the end of the fuse.
Otherwise it will cause miss-fires.
Thanx man
Always welcome🎉

Brass awl not a punch.
Didn't look like brass. Looks like a steel awl.
It's Brass!! 100%
Really???
