How It Works:
The Cold Sparks Machine operates using a specially formulated composite powder (Cold Sparks Powder), sold in 7 oz. bags. Each bag provides an estimated 10-15 minutes of running spark time, depending on your specific usage.
Actual duration will vary based on factors such as:
- Burst Length – Are you triggering quick 5-second effects or extended 45-second bursts?
- Spark Height – Lower heights use less powder, while maximum height (up to 15 ft.) consumes more.
All of these variables play into how long a bag of Cold Sparks Powder lasts. That's why we estimate 10-15 minutes of running spark time to give you flexibility in planning your effect.
