Starting Your Own
Drone Light Show Business
The global demand for drone light shows is booming.
The potential return on investment is huge.
Drone light shows uniquely combine creative vision with technical skillsets.
You want to get into the industry, the question is, where do you start?
"What sort of drones do I need for a Drone Light Show?"
Drones
The most fundamental part of a drone light show is of course, the drones themselves. Our drones, the PIXEL and PYRO, are specifically engineered for the light show industry.
PIXEL & PYRO
The PIXEL is our flagship drone. A true workhorse, the majority of your fleet is likely to be made up of PIXEL drones.
​
Nimble, robust and equipped with an ultra-bright LED, these bring your creative vision to life.

Our PYRO drone is a speciality drone - that as its name suggests - allows pyrotechnics to form part of your show
​
These are controlled remotely, offer a range of types and are considerably safer than conventional fireworks.

Our drones are purpose built to be agile, fast and resistant to environmental factors such as wind gusts and light rain showers.
"How many drones do I need in my Light Show?"
Fleet Size
Our packages start from as few as 20 drones and can go to over 1000.
​
The number of drones you require is determined by the displays you're looking to create and the audience you are targeting. Of course, you can add to your fleet at any time.
For private event such as weddings, birthdays or christening - then a swarm of 20 to 50 drones allow you to display simple 2D shapes such as initials or a symbol such as a heart. This is a great starting point.
For corporate functions or larger events, then we recommend at least 200+ drones as your creative options increase and the overall resolution of the display becomes more defined.

Here are some simple examples:

" How do I communicate with my drones and fly them? "
Ground Control Station (GCS)
With our Ground Control Station bundle, you have everything you need to fly your drones to an accuracy of just 1cm. This is down to our F9P RTK base station that provides extremely accurate mapping of the flight area and ensures that your designs look as they are supposed to.
Additional safety features such as ring-fencing ensures your operation zone is never breached.
​
The Control System operates in dual channel (422MHz or 915MHz) to act as a redundancy and ensure constant communication with the drones.
The drones are also equipped with remote power control, so you can activate them all from the comfort of your laptop and GCS when you are ready to fly. ​​
"How can I charge the batteries of so many drones?"
​Alongside our drones, we have also designed a smart battery charging case that can simultaneously charge 20 batteries in as little as 1.5 hours!
​
One case is included in our Ground Control Station Bundle - and more are available to purchase separately as required, alongside additional batteries.
