When are cold sparks typically used at events?
Yes. Flash Memories is fully insured, and we can provide your venue with a certificate of insurance (COI) upon request.
Always confirm with your venue first prior to booking.
Are you insured?
Yes! They are completely safe for indoor use and do not burn or emit heat like traditional fireworks. The sparks are cool to the touch and safe around people, fabric, and flooring.
Always confirm with your venue first prior to booking.
Are cold sparks safe indoors?
Cold spark machines create a spectacular indoor-safe sparkler effect using a cold titanium-based powder. They simulate fireworks—without the heat, smoke, or fire risk—making them safe for most indoor venues.
What are cold spark machines?
How many machines do I need?
Most clients rent 2 or 4 cold spark machines depending on the size of the dance floor or stage. We’ll help you decide based on your layout and vision.
Each unit requires a standard 110V outlet. We recommend placing outlets within 25 feet of the machine location. Extension cords can be provided if needed.
What are the power requirements?
Yes. A trained staff member will be on-site to set up, monitor, and trigger the cold sparks safely and professionally.
Always confirm with your venue first prior to booking.
Do you stay to operate the machines?
Yes, they can be used outdoors as long as:
There is no heavy wind or rain
A flat, dry surface is available for setup
Power is accessible within 25 feet.
Always confirm with your venue first prior to booking.
Can cold sparks be used outdoors?
Each machine can produce sparks in controlled bursts, lasting up to 15 seconds per activation, repeated multiple times throughout the show. We'll operate them at the perfect moments!
