IonFire & firing systems
Full-stack engineering for live pyrotechnics — from PC-side design tools to embedded firmware and RF protocols.
- Show-design and choreography apps
- Hardware integration (Merlin, MFIII)
- Real-time control & deterministic cueing
Lumatech Systems builds entertainment and business software where reliability matters. We're the people behind IonFire, a firing system used to design and run live pyromusical shows — plus a steady stream of bespoke development, web work, and technical consultancy.
IonFire is a Windows-based pyrotechnic control system we built and maintain — used by professional crews to design, rehearse and execute shows. It's a good window into the kind of work we do: a real-time engine, deterministic cueing, hardware integration, and a UI an operator can actually trust under pressure.
Choreograph cues against a soundtrack with millisecond accuracy. Visual waveform, snap-to-beat, and per-firework timing offsets.
Bring shows straight from Finale 3D and other industry tools into a live firing script.
Pull GPS-disciplined time across multiple sites so distributed systems fire as one show.
Drives the Merlin firing system and MFIII slave kits over RF and wired links.
Lay out cues, modules, and effects on a multi-track timeline. Scrub, lock, and validate.
Operator views for manual cueing and backup firing while a script is running — no gaps in the show.
Per-installation licensing, signed builds, and a standalone operator mode for the field.
We've spent years writing real-time firing-system software where mistakes are loud and expensive. The same care goes into every project we take on.
Full-stack engineering for live pyrotechnics — from PC-side design tools to embedded firmware and RF protocols.
Line-of-business systems built around the way your operation actually works, not the other way around.
Marketing sites, club & community sites, and product pages — designed and built end-to-end.
Architecture reviews, technology choices, and a second pair of eyes when the work is high-stakes.
Our flagship: a professional firing system for pyromusical show design and live firing. Multi-module architecture spanning UI, real-time engine, GPS sync, hardware drivers, and licensing.
Football club site covering fixtures, news, teams, sponsors and contact. Built and delivered end to end.
Site for an award-winning fireworks display company based in Reading and Marlow, covering wedding, corporate and Bonfire Night displays across Berkshire and the south of England.
Showcase site for bespoke pyromusical displays — choreographed fireworks fired in precise sync with music — for weddings, corporate events and private celebrations across the UK.
