View full detailsThe Modern Flames Orion Series revolutionizes electric fireplace technology with the most realistic flame effects ever created. Unlike traditional 2D electric fireplaces that produce flat, unconvincing flames, the Orion Series uses patented Heliovision® technology to deliver multi-dimensional flames that look authentic from every angle - whether you're standing, sitting, or viewing from across the room.
Since its introduction, the Orion Series has set a new standard for virtual electric fireplaces, offering homeowners, designers, and architects an unparalleled combination of realism, versatility, and smart home integration. With 5-year warranty coverage and proven reliability, it's the choice of over 10,000 satisfied customers across North America.
The heart of every Modern Flames Orion electric fireplace is the patented Heliovision® flame technology - a groundbreaking advancement that creates virtual flames so realistic, 95% of viewers cannot distinguish them from real fire. Here's what makes Heliovision® different:
Unlike conventional LED fireplaces that project flat 2D images, Heliovision® creates depth and movement through advanced digital projection technology. The flames appear to dance and flicker naturally, with randomized patterns that never repeat - just like real fire.
Traditional electric fireplaces look best from one viewing position. Heliovision® maintains perfect flame consistency whether you're viewing from the front, sides, above, or below - making it ideal for open floor plans and multi-sided installations.
With 3 flame styles, 6 colors, and adjustable speed settings, you have 18 unique flame combinations to match any mood or décor. The system even allows future updates through the app, ensuring your fireplace stays current with new flame patterns as they become available.
The Modern Flames Orion Multi is the most versatile electric fireplace in the lineup, offering stunning views from multiple angles with its innovative multi-sided design. Perfect for modern homes, commercial spaces, and dramatic room dividers.
The Orion Multi can be installed as:
The Modern Flames Orion Traditional brings virtual flame technology to classic firebox designs, perfect for converting existing wood-burning fireplaces or creating traditional focal points in new construction.

Transform your old masonry fireplace in under 2 hours with the Orion Traditional. The unit slides directly into existing openings, and optional surround trim kits ensure a perfect fit regardless of your opening size. Professional installation typically costs 80% less than gas fireplace conversions.
