Introducing the Firetoys x Echo LED Aerial Hoop

The Firetoys x Echo LED Aerial Hoop is a perfect fusion of innovation and aesthetics, designed to transform your aerial performances into true light shows. This collaboration between Firetoys and Echo has resulted in a unique aerial hoop, equipped with hundreds of ultra-bright LEDs that will illuminate your movements and captivate your audience.

Made in the UK and fully certified by an independent testing body, this aerial hoop guarantees safe and durable use. Available in three sizes (90cm, 95cm, 100cm), this aerial hoop is suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced aerial artists, offering versatility for your routines and training.

The advanced LED technology integrated into the hoop allows for over 100 different lighting modes, offering a wide range of colors and dynamic effects that synchronize with your movements. Whether you want to create subtle lighting moods or spectacular bursts of light, this hoop should meet all your expectations.

Constructed with 10G (25.4mm) steel tubing and a 3mm wall thickness, the aerial hoop is TIG-welded for maximum strength. The powder-coated finish with a matte black coating not only enhances the hoop's appearance but also protects the steel from rust and makes cleaning easier. Ready to use with or without tape, this aerial hoop is extremely versatile.

Important information about the charge

To charge the battery, you must first disconnect the battery from the lighting system, otherwise it will not go into charging mode.

Adhesive tape coating:

The hoop comes ready to be covered with fabric grip tape. We recommend Prodigy Snake Tape . This grip tape is unique in that it doesn't leave any adhesive residue on your hands or body, even after intensive use of the hoop. For optimal results with the integrated LEDs, we recommend using white Prodigy Snake Tape . This light color allows for better light diffusion and improves the visibility of the lighting effects, especially in dark environments or during performances.

An aerial hoop grip is applied from the bottom up. The sides are then applied independently and meet at the center at the top.

LED remote control operation

The Firetoys x Echo LED Aerial Hoop comes with an intuitive remote control that allows you to personalize your lighting experience in real time. With this control, you can choose your visual effects before or during your performances, offering great creative freedom.

• Automatic/Demo Mode : Activates a pre-programmed sequence of various lighting effects.
• Solid color modes : Allows you to choose a fixed color from a wide RGB palette.
• Dynamic effects : Scroll through the modes to access light animations (blinking, fading, transitions…)
• Speed control : Adjust the speed of the animations to match the pace of your performance.
• Brightness adjustment : Increase or decrease the light intensity to adapt the hoop to the environment (stage, outdoors, dim lighting, etc.)
• Sleep/standby function : Please note that the hoop continues to consume power even in standby mode. Remember to disconnect the battery after use to conserve battery life.

Who is the Firetoys x Echo LED Aerial Hoop for?

The Firetoys x Echo LED Aerial Hoop is designed for aerial artists , circus performers , and amateurs looking to add innovative visual effects and movement to their performances. Ideal for dance shows , festivals , nighttime events , or any occasion requiring a spectacular aerial touch. Prior experience with aerial equipment is strongly recommended, and it is essential to follow safety instructions when using it.

What are the conditions for installing an aerial hoop?

We need height:

To install a hoop, you'll need a minimum ceiling height of 4 meters. The hoop itself won't necessarily be 4 meters high, but you'll need sufficient clearance both above and below it. Any installation with less than 4 meters of clearance will lead to frustration and severely limit the use of the equipment. Imagine yourself hanging from the hoop; you need significant space below it. Now imagine yourself standing on the bottom of the hoop; you also need space above you. Adding a swinging motion to the hoop requires even more space. Without the necessary clearance, you'll end up with a hoop that serves a similar purpose to a seesaw.

Dynamic vs. static:

Remember that a moving body can weigh up to three times the mass of a stationary body. When you're on an aerial hoop, you're a moving body. A harness that can withstand your mass when stationary (static) won't be sufficient.

Home installation for individuals:

Your life, or your child's life, will depend on a hoop. Don't neglect its installation.

Securing an aerial hoop is not something to be improvised. Consult a rigging specialist, an architect, or seek the advice of a mason. In our discussions with some novice clients, they suggest using punching bag mounting plates. These plates are designed to hold 30 to 50 kg to the ceiling. The mass of a person in motion (dynamic) can be up to three times their mass in a static position. Never use this type of plate; an accident is guaranteed. Every building has a unique structure with its own specific strengths and materials. One of the best solutions, requiring the least technical expertise, is to use a ring sewn around a substantial beam. Again, consult a specialist.

Fixation in a professional setting:

Do not install anchor points without having a study and installation carried out by professionals.

What diameter aerial hoop should I choose?

The diameter of your aerial hoop should be chosen according to your height. When you are seated on the hoop, there should be 10cm of clearance above your head. You can take this measurement while sitting on a chair (e.g., if the height between the chair and your head is 70cm, then you will need an aerial hoop with an inner diameter of 80cm). If you are buying for a circus school where several people will be using the same hoop, this clearance can vary slightly and be up to 15cm.

With this method, you'll be sure not to hit your head on the top of the hoop when you're seated. If you're teaching students of varying heights, remember to check that they can't bump their heads before you begin :-).
