The Orion Series by Modern Flames showcases two variants: the Orion Slim and the Orion Multi, each designed with unique installation, aesthetic considerations, and innovative HELIOVISION™ flame technology.

The Orion Slim is a frame-like fireplace designed for spaces where room is limited, fitting seamlessly into a 2” x 6” wall or being wall-mounted in any setting. It offers four sizes, ranging from 52” to 100”, and features a 15" high viewing area. This model is a single-sided built-in linear fireplace, ideal for those seeking a sleek, modern look.

The Orion Multi offers more versatile installation options, such as front view, left corner, right corner, or bay configurations. Available in sizes from 52” to 100” with an 18" high viewing area, the Multi variant is better suited for larger spaces or for making a more significant visual impact. 

Both models have similar feathers, with the exception of the Orion Slim’s heating (110V). Nonetheless, both variants feature the latest in flame simulation technology with HELIOVISION™, providing a multi-dimensional flame appearance with three flame patterns and six color options, totaling 18 different flame displays. They also offer adjustable flame speed, ambient crackling sound, and multi-color options for the ember bed and downlighting for enhanced customization.

Each variant is equipped with WiFi control via the Modern Flames app, adding convenience and ease of use, and includes a quiet and high-efficiency PTC ceramic heater with a capacity of 5,000 BTU. The Orion Multi also offers a 10,000 BTU option to accommodate larger heating needs.

Modern Flames is continuously developing new flame and log options to enhance user experience further. This series caters to every user's needs, offering flames shot by a professional movie studio.

These videos include various types of fireplaces, such as wood-burning and gas, with visuals incorporating sparks and smoke for added realism. The fireplace features 3D flames, ember bed lighting, and a top nightlight that illuminates the log set, with customizable colors for both.

An app-based control system, operable via WiFi, allows users to adjust flame patterns, speed, ember bed brightness, and color. The app includes a default button to revert the fireplace to its stock color anytime. The Orion Series also replicates the look of gas fireplaces with its third flame option.

The flames emerge from the middle, with the logs reflecting at the back for depth. This fireplace can be installed flush against a wall or in open corners, offering flexibility in placement.

What We Like

Some Considerations

Smart Home Integration: Compatible with Amazon Alexa® and Google Home®, enabling voice-activated control which adds convenience and modernity to its operation.  Customizable Settings: Offers a wide range of settings including 60 flame and base color combinations, adjustable flame speed, intensity, and a built-in timer, allowing users to tailor the ambiance to their preference.  Versatile Installation: Can be installed either as a recessed unit in the wall or mounted directly on the wall, providing flexibility depending on the room layout and personal style.  Safety Features: Includes an automatic WiFi disconnect after 24 hours without use, enhancing safety by preventing accidental operation.

Limited Heating Capability: While it can warm a room, it’s not intended to be the primary heat source for a home or large space.  WiFi Setup Complexity: Some users might find the WiFi setup and use of the app to control the fireplace settings a bit complex, especially those who are not tech-savvy.  Cost: As a premium model, it might be considered expensive compared to simpler electric fireplaces, which could be a deterrent for budget-conscious buyers.

Performance

 Ambiance: Large viewing area with realistic flame experience, 60 flame and base color combinations, adjustable flame speeds, and intensity.

 Warranty: The warranty includes coverage for parts such as the heating element, flame effects, LED lighting, and electrical components. Labor is typically covered for the first year. This warranty provides basic protection against defects in materials and workmanship.

 Features: Smart home integration with Amazon Alexa® and Google Home®, dual-mode operation, and extensive settings accessible via remote or app.

 Heating Capabilities: Two settings (750W/1500W) suitable for heating up to 400 sq. ft., ideal for smaller rooms or supplementary heating.

 Cost: Premium model with advanced features and smart integration, justified for those valuing aesthetics and convenience.

 Efficiency: The flame effect operates without heat to conserve energy, though energy consumption details are unspecified. Installation flexibility may add complexity.
