I have been running a school firework display for 10 years and myself and the merry band are all trained in the art. I wish to fire the fireworks electronically and have a question:- Does anyone know of where I can purchase squibbs and supply the electrical specification for such?

I would sincerely appreciate any assistance.

John, just a quick one, what is your motivation for wanting to fire electronically??

I am an electrician by trade and working in teh fire life safety business and getting tired of travelling. I am aware of an opportuntiy where I live for a professional fireworks display company. John

sorry, I misunderstood your initial question, I thought you were wanting to electrically fire the retail items you used in your display.

No problem. All I am trying to find is someone whoi can supply squibbs and hopefully they can provide an electrical spec?

Where in the country are you? There will be a supplier within 50 miles, but you have to know where to look. These things are not quite retail!!

The better suppliers will offer better prices if you buy by the case (but that could be 1000 to 1500).

May assist with the transition from keen amateur to wise professional.
