El Loco By Vivid Pyrotechnics

An Eye Staring Back at You From 268 Shots of Colour

Vivid have done it again. El Loco is another stunning compound from a brand that consistently delivers, and this one has a trick up its sleeve right from the off. Firing 268 shots from 25/30mm max bore tubes across a huge 158 seconds, with a full 5/5 noise rating, this is a serious flagship piece with the scale and the powder weight, 3774g, to back it up.

An Opening Unlike Anything Else in the Range

The opening sequence is something genuinely different. A clever combination of firing pattern and effect creates what can only be described as a halo in the sky: red ghost horse tails forming a ring around bursts of blue and gold brocade at the centre. Stand back and watch it unfold, it almost looks like an eye staring back at you, and it’s a moment that’s hard to forget once you’ve seen it live.

From there, El Loco keeps building rather than settling. Red mines rise into red and gold brocade crowns, and the colours and effects keep coming right through to the end. This isn’t a cake that peaks early and coasts, the pace holds across the full run time, which is exactly what you want from something at this scale.

Safety Information

El Loco is a Category F3 firework with a specified safety distance of 25 metres. Category F3 fireworks are intended for outdoor use in large open spaces only and require a greater degree of experience and space than garden (F2) fireworks. Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions, use the firework only in a suitable large outdoor location, and keep spectators at or beyond the recommended safety distance. Cakes should always be secured so they can’t fall over, watch our safety videos on how to secure your cakes with bricks or wooden stakes.

Never hold a lit firework or return to a firework that has failed to ignite. Children and pets should remain safely away from the firing area.
