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 a true light show. 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 firm, the 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 advanced aerial artists, offering versatility for your routines and training.

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

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

Adhesive tape covering:

The hoop comes ready to be covered with fabric grip. We recommend Prodigy Snake Tape . This grip has the particularity of not releasing glue residue on the hands and 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 better diffusion of light and improves the visibility of light effects, especially in dark environments or during shows.

An aerial hoop grip is established from the bottom up. The sides are done independently and meet in the center at the top.

How the LED remote control works

The Firetoys x Echo LED Aerial Hoop comes with an intuitive remote control that lets you customize your lighting experience in real time. With this remote control, you can choose your visual effects before or during your performances, giving you 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 modes to access light animations (flashing, fades, transitions, etc.)
• Speed Control : Adjust the speed of 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, subdued atmosphere, etc.)
• Standby function : Please note that the hoop continues to consume energy even in standby mode. Remember to disconnect the battery after use to preserve battery life.

Who is the Firetoys x Echo LED Aerial Hoop for?

Ideal for dance performances , festivals , nighttime events or any occasion requiring a spectacular aerial touch. Previous experience with aerial equipment is highly recommended, and it is essential to follow safety guidelines when using it.

What are the conditions for installing an aerial hoop?

Height is needed:

To install a hoop, you'll need a ceiling height of at least 4 meters. The hoop won't necessarily be 4 meters high, but you'll need height above and below the hoop. Any installation with a height lower than 4 meters will cause frustration and very limited use of the apparatus. Imagine yourself hanging from the hoop; you need plenty of space below it. Now imagine yourself standing on the bottom of the hoop; you also need space above you. With a swinging motion on the hoop, you'll need even more space. Without the necessary space, you'll end up with a hoop that will serve a similar purpose to a swing.

Dynamic vs. Static:

Remember that a moving body can weigh up to 3 times the mass of a static body. When you're on an aerial hoop, you're a moving body. A binding that will support your stationary (static) mass won't be enough.

Fixing at your home as an individual:

Your life or your child's life is about to end up on a hoop. Don't neglect its installation.

An aerial hoop attachment cannot be improvised. Consult a rigging specialist, an architect, or seek the advice of a mason. During our discussions with some novice clients, we were told to use punching bag attachment plates. These attachments are designed to secure 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 would be guaranteed. Each building has a different structure, with its own specific strengths and materials. One of the best solutions, which requires the least technical skill, is to use a ring sewn around a large beam. Here again, consult a specialist.

Fixation in the professional environment:

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 is chosen according to your height. When you sit on the hoop, there must be 10cm of flapping space above your head. You can take this measurement by sitting on a chair (e.g., height between the chair and your head = 70cm, so you will need an aerial hoop with an internal diameter of 80cm). If you are buying for a circus school where several people will be using the same hoop, this space can vary slightly and extend up to 15cm.

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