Modern Flames Orion® V2 Traditional Virtual LCD Electric Fireplace

The Most Realistic Electric Fireplace Insert — Now Smarter Than Ever

The Modern Flames Orion® V2 Traditional electric fireplace represents the next generation of virtual LCD flame technology — delivering the most realistic electric fireplace experience available today. Designed and engineered in Phoenix, Arizona, the Orion V2 Traditional combines deep, multi-dimensional flames with immersive audio, intelligent heating, and app-based smart controls, turning any room into a warm, inviting living space without the need for gas lines, venting, or chimney work.

Available in five sizes — 26", 30", 36", 42", and 54" — the Orion V2 Traditional is built for maximum installation flexibility. Whether you're framing a new build, retrofitting an existing wood-burning fireplace, or upgrading an older electric insert, this unit installs as a built-in clean-face, self-trimming insert, or a traditional retrofit — no other electric fireplace on the market offers this level of versatility. Every model is approved for both indoor and outdoor use, making it equally at home in a living room, bedroom, basement, or covered patio.

What truly sets the Orion V2 apart from conventional electric fireplaces is what happens after installation. Through the Modern Flames + app, new flame styles, visual themes, and feature updates are delivered directly to your fireplace over the air — meaning your fireplace actually improves over time rather than remaining static.

Product Features

Next-Generation Virtual LCD Flame Technology

The Orion V2 Traditional uses an upgraded LCD display system engineered to produce flames with unprecedented depth and realism. Unlike conventional electric fireplaces that rely on LED light refraction or rotating mirrors, the Orion V2 renders multi-dimensional virtual flames with fluid movement, rich color depth, and lifelike behavior. The improved panel technology delivers sharper contrasts and deeper blacks, making flames appear more vivid and natural — especially noticeable when viewing from off-center angles.

24 Flame Options with Over-the-Air Updates

Right out of the box, you get access to 24 distinct flame styles covering a wide range of colors and moods. Three standard multi-dimensional flame styles are permanently loaded, and a fourth slot can be swapped with new options downloaded through the Modern Flames + app. Unlike static electric fireplaces that never change after purchase, the Orion V2 is a continually evolving platform — new flame designs and digital scenes are added to the library regularly, so your fireplace keeps getting better long after installation.

Adaptive Brightness for Any Lighting Condition

An intelligent brightness system automatically adjusts the flame display to complement the ambient lighting in your room. During the day, flames remain bold and visible against natural sunlight. In the evening, brightness softens for a more natural, relaxed glow. This ensures the flames always look balanced and realistic — no manual adjustment needed.

Immersive Built-In Audio System

The Orion V2 Traditional features custom-engineered speakers purpose-built for this fireplace, delivering sound quality that matches the visual realism of the flames. Choose from three professionally produced crackling soundscapes — Classic Crackling, Starry Night, and Stormy Night — each designed to recreate the warmth and ambiance of a real wood fire. When you're not using the fire sounds, Bluetooth connectivity lets you stream your own music, podcasts, or ambient playlists directly through the fireplace speakers.

Realistic Lit Log Set and Active Ember Bed

Crafted from real split wood, the Orion V2 log set offers a level of authenticity that molded plastic logs simply cannot match. Each log is internally lit, casting a warm, natural glow that enhances the overall hearth experience. Beneath the logs, an active ember bed adds glowing movement and vivid color, creating layered visual depth that brings the entire firebox to life. Brighter downlights further highlight the log detail, adding character and dimension to the display.

Smart PTC Ceramic Heating

Advanced PTC ceramic heating technology provides fast, consistent warmth with whisper-quiet operation. The 26" and 30" models produce up to 5,000 BTU (heating up to approximately 400 sq. ft.), while the 36", 42", and 54" models offer 5,000–8,500 BTU output (heating approximately 400–700 sq. ft.) with dual 120V/240V voltage capability. The heater operates independently from the flame display, so you can enjoy the ambiance of the fire year-round — with or without heat.

Three Installation Methods for Any Project

The Orion V2 Traditional is one of the most versatile electric fireplaces on the market for installation. It can be installed as a built-in clean face for a seamless, flush-to-wall look in new construction or remodels. It can slide in as a self-trimming insert with a sleek 1.3" built-in trim that covers gaps between the unit and the wall. Or it can be used as a retrofit replacement for an existing wood-burning, gas, or non-working fireplace — no new framing required. Every model comes with a 120V plug for simple plug-in operation and is also hardwire-ready for a cleaner finished installation.

Smart App and Remote Control

Control every aspect of your Orion V2 from the included premium remote or the Modern Flames + app (available for iOS and Android). Adjust flame style, speed, and color; select crackling sound modes; fine-tune brightness; manage heat settings; and download new flame themes — all from your phone or the palm of your hand.
