IGNITE Firing Systems

The app is designed very well and is very user-friendly. Super easy to use. The show designer takes about 10-20 minutes to get fully familiar with and makes designing shows so easy. Had a 7 minute show on one i18 and not a single misfire, the only exception being a cake that was a dud (not the modules fault). Highly recommended for anyone trying to advance their backyard shows and those who want to get more professional with them. Being able to use mjg igniters (5-10 per cue) is awesome too. Cant wait for the mjg mode to be released (changes pulse time from 2 seconds to about .1). My only complaint is that the i32 came out but when I go to prep a show using 3 i32 modules, only 18 cues appear for each module. This could just be due to the fact that I don’t have an i32 connected to the app though. Looking forward to what Cobra does with Ignite in the future.

I settled on 6-I18 modules earlier this year after researching many different firing systems including Cobra, Mongoose,Muuxbrd and more. I found the cost and ease of use both of modules and Show designer great for a beginner. Now after my first 20+ minute show with 104 cues used I’m the family/neighborhood hero! Thanks Ignite!

For those that aren’t aware, Ignite is Cobra’s ‘consumer’ or ‘intro’ system. Affordable and easy. Just be aware that if you want instant fire, you also need MJG initiators (about $1 a piece). Otherwise you need talon clip-on igniters, which are similarly priced, and basically clip on to the end of the firework fuse. Either way, the system is fantastic and expandable. You can link up to 6 modules (108 cues) and they also make breakout boards (5 connections per cue) for more expandability.

There is nothing to complain about. You get a top performing system and free software for design and execution. I only wish it had more than 6 modules but for backyard enthusiasts it’s a major game changer. My only advice is start saving for the Cobra. You are 100% going to get it after you get hooked on this.

Definitely recommend! Now I get to watch my show with my friends. The kids love pressing the buttons. Will purchase more units soon!

The app is great and works very well. I did my first show in 2022 and it did everything I programmed in. Love the interface and ease of use. Go Ignite!!!

If you are like me, the price kind of put me off because I needed 3 of them. After using it this past weekend, I would pay double! My show went from me lighting one cake at a time and running in previous years, to me sitting in a safe spot and launching essentially as many as I wanted almost simultaneously. This was especially helpful when it came to the finale. The app is super easy to navigate and it’s really foolproof. Just get one and thank me later!

This year I made the leap from hand lighting to a choreographed show set to music. The software that Ignite offers was intuitive and precise. From start to finish, the preparation process was painless. To be honest, I was skeptical it would work - it was all so easy. The show went off flawlessly. I’m a customer for life. I have 2 modules and will be purchasing more for next year. On behalf of backyard pyros everywhere - THANK YOU!! This product is a game changer.

I have not actually received my module yet should be here Thursday (update coming soon), but I am VERY impressed with the online show designer and the mobile app. There is a slight learning curve as there is with any new program, but everything you need is there and seems to work flawlessly. 50mg audio file? No problem. Get the show from the online designer onto your phone? No problem. Print a report to show where to fuse? They have that too. To anyone that fuses everything by hand to a master cannon fuse with multiple music tracks and gets frustrated when the timing gets a little off - this seems to be the solution. I’m not going to fuse everything to the Module, but key things like start of boards, mortars that need to fire at specific times, etc, are all going to programmed into this. Really looking forward to putting on a great show this year and will update my review accordingly afterwords.

I needed help on a recent shoot troubleshooting a problem I created. The customer service was amazing and they help the show go off without a hitch!
