FirePixels go almost anywhere you would put a lightbulb, LED or other traditional lighting element. Each FirePixel's variable flame control lets you create real-time flame effects, only before possible in the world of lighting.
When we built the FirePixel, windy environments were a challenge we needed to address. So each FirePixel has an electronic flame sensing system capable of detecting not only when the flame is on or off, but even when it is about to blow out.
It takes a fairly strong gust of wind to even blow out the FirePixel at all. We accomplish this in the shop with a 90psi blast from an air compressor. And note in this video that as the FirePixel blows out, each time it relights on the first spark, in under 1 second. With subsequent blowouts, the minimum flame size is increased so the flame resists the wind even better. When the wind is reduced, the minimum flame size goes back down to a tiny candle.

LiveSpark took center stage during 2014 CES at the Passport to Downtown party in the newly opened Container Park. Thousands of attendees were treated to a fire and video display that was choreographed live. Working with internationally renowned audio-video remix artist, Jonny Wilson of Eclectic Method, LiveSpark created a custom multi-dimensional tower that provided thirty vertical feet of flaming visuals.
