What is better about Electronic Firing?
Electronic firing is the use of e-matches (or electric matches) that are wired into an advanced electronic firing system, which may or may not be controlled by a computer. When this type of system is used the fireworks can be more tightly choreographed, and can also be shot in sequences that allow for multiple rising positions of effects at precisely the same time. Hand firing of fireworks does not allow for these levels of timing and multiple position firing. Also with hand firing all the crew are in the same area of firing for reloading, monitoring, lighting and related tasks. In an electronically fired display the crew are at safe distances, and can spend their time spotting, which is watching the display for anything out of the ordinary, or for people entering the safety zone of the display. These types of displays are much safer for the crew as well as audience, when done with state-of-the-art equipment and properly trained crew.
