Electronic FIRING SYSTEMS

Why ignite fireworks electrically?  An electrical firing panel is an ideal way for someone to set off a large quantity of fireworks for a show.  The systems below allow you to ignite many fireworks at the same time, and is much safer than lighting fireworks manually.  Click on the thumbnail below to learn how to build each type of system.

This page may take a few minutes to load due to all of the diagrams.  You are welcome to print these out for your own use (set your printer to black and white so it doesn't waste colored ink on my crappy MS paint drawings), but do not publish it or sell it.
