Your Questions - Our Answers

Inquire now
How much do pyrotechnics for an event cost?
The price depends on the type and scope of the effect: spark fountains and stage pyro start at a manageable cost, while flame projectors and synchronized shows are quoted individually – including planning, permits, and on-site pyrotechnicians.
Are pyrotechnics permitted indoors?
Yes, with specially approved stage pyrotechnics and appropriate safety distances. Prerequisites include venue approval, coordination with fire safety, and a responsible pyrotechnician on site.
What permits are needed for pyrotechnics – and who handles them?
Depending on the effect and location, notifications or permits under explosives law, as well as coordination with local authorities, the fire department, and the venue, are necessary. photon handles the complete permit management – on time and documented.
How safe are stage pyrotechnics?
Professionally planned, very safe: tested effects, defined safety distances, ignition systems with enable logic, and a responsible pyrotechnician who monitors every ignition. Safety always takes precedence over the effect.
What effects are available – sparks, flames, confetti?
Cold spark fountains, classic stage pyrotechnics, flame projectors, confetti and streamer shots, and CO2 jets. photon combines these effects to match the music, stage, and dramaturgy.
What are cold spark fountains and where can they be used?
Spark machines create a fireworks-like effect with significantly lower ignition risk – popular at weddings, galas, and product presentations. They also require coordination with the venue and trained personnel.
Can effects be synchronized with music and the show?
Yes. Using digital ignition systems and timecode, photon synchronizes effects precisely with music, lighting, and video – from individual accents to elaborately designed show numbers.
Is a pyrotechnician required on site?
Yes, always. Setup and dismantling, cordoning off, clearance, and ignition are handled by a responsible pyrotechnician with the appropriate qualifications – this is legally required and standard practice at photon.
How far in advance do I need to book pyrotechnics?
Plan earlier than for other services: Depending on the scope, four to eight weeks should be allocated for permits and coordination with authorities and the venue – more for large events.
Do you provide pyrotechnic services in Cologne/NRW, including planning and ignition?
Yes. photon plans, obtains permits for, and ignites pyrotechnics and special effects in Cologne, Bonn, Düsseldorf, and throughout NRW – nationwide deployments available upon request.
