Igniters

To light a sequence using an electric igniter is quite simple and reliable. First the PIC linking the sequence is joined to a short piece of Pipe Match. (See PIC/Pipe Match) It is then simply a matter of inserting the igniter into the open end of the Pipe Match and securing it with a cable tie.

The fire from the igniter is more than sufficient to ignite the Pipe Match which will, almost instantaneously, pass the fire on to the exposed PIC. There is a short delay (<0.25 Sec.) between making the firing circuit and the first firework in the sequence igniting.
