Firing Essentials — Fuse, Igniters & Accessories

Whatever your display — a back garden bonfire night show or a choreographed outdoor event — having the right firing essentials makes the difference between a smooth, safe show and a stressful one. At Fireworks Shop we stock a focused range of professional-grade ignition products trusted by enthusiasts and display operators across the UK.

Visco fuse is the go-to choice for manually lighting fireworks. Slow-burning and reliable, it gives you the time you need to step well back before ignition.

E-match igniters (also known as electric matches) allow for precise remote ignition and are the preferred choice for anyone firing multiple positions. Our e-matches feature a glow in the dark design, making them easy to locate and identify at night — particularly useful when managing several firing positions and making clean up after your display significantly easier. Available in 3 metre and 5 metre lengths, they deliver fast, consistent ignition every time.

If you are looking for a traditional reliable alternative, portfires produce a steady hot wind-resistant flame that works in all outdoor conditions — widely used by professional display operators and experienced home users alike.

Tape match fuse is designed to link multiple fireworks together so they ignite in fast sequence from a single light point — perfect for choreographed runs without the need for individual lighting.

All products are available for delivery across the UK and are stocked year-round at our Preston store. Browse our full range including barrages and cakes, firework display packs, and low noise fireworks. For advice on staying safe, visit our fireworks safety advice page. We also stock a wide range of other fireworks including sparklers.
