“Phoenix Rising” Continuum Series Plasma Globe
We’re Back! Status of U.S. Import Charges
When the US $800 “De Minimis” exemption ended on August 29th, we stopped sales to the US in order to save our customers a near doubling of the globe's cost due to tariffs & taxes.
We have been busy modifying our globes so that they now qualify as Made in Canada. All new Canadian electronics in all globes, plus new wood bases for our Professional Globes make them tax and duty free into the US. There are still Customs entry fees that have to be paid and we are increasing our prices modestly to help with those fees. However, we will also be absorbing some of those costs ourselves. What you pay on our site will be the final total price to you. There will be no other fees upon delivery.

About Our “Phoenix Rising Continuum Series” Plasma Globe
This is the newest series of our “Phoenix Rising” globe. This series will be outfitted with a brass plaque identifying the globe as “Phoenix Rising Continuum Series.”
The “Phoenix Rising” Plasma Globe features white plasma tendrils with orange-red tips, emanating from an orange-red electrode. On a low-power setting, small plasma tendrils swirl around the center of the globe with a gentle flickering motion, but once you turn the power up the plasma streams become very active, with each tendril splitting into several energized fingers towards the tips. This gas mixture also displays an interesting effect when your hand touches the glass, sending out little fingers of plasma along the glass from the edges of your hands.
The orange and white color of the “Phoenix Rising” plasma globe are a result of a unique blend of gasses, and are not available from any other consumer plasma globe manufacturer.

⚠️ Important Notes ⚠️
All of the pictures and videos of our plasma effects were taken in near darkness. The descriptions of the effects are based on observations of the globes in the same near darkness. Just as the Northern Lights cannot be seen during the day, our globe’s effects are best viewed in a darkened environment. Increasing levels of ambient light will wash out the effect colors until they almost disappear under full sunlight.
Please be aware that no two plasma globes are exactly alike, and there may be variations in color and effect from globe to globe. We test and compare over a dozen globes before selecting the globe to be used as the best overall example of the series. We make every effort to photograph and present our globes as accurately as possible, but Videos and Photos on this website should be used solely as a guide to what a product should look like, not as an exact representation. Rest assured your plasma globe will be unique and awesome!
Our plasma globes are made from temperature-hardened, laboratory-strength blown glass. Because the glass is hand blown, it is normal for it to have some imperfections. Upon close inspection, you may find small bubbles in the glass or minor scuffs. These imperfections will be completely invisible under normal operating conditions (i.e. a darkened room).

The Ultimate Plasma Globe
Our “Museum Series” Plasma Globe lineup has gotten a major upgrade!
Introducing
The All-New “Continuum Series”
The Aurora Plasma Design flagship product for over 10 years, our 15-inch “Museum Series” globe has received a series of upgrades to make it better than ever! With our new “Continuum Series,” the plasma globe body has been completely redesigned with a number of improvements.
Stylish, Black Wood Base
We’ve always wanted to make a globe with a black base, but all our attempts have inevitably resulted in the wood grain disappearing, making the base appear to be made from plastic. We finally figured it out though! Our new bases are black “ebonized” ash, which retains the wood grain while giving that sought-after black color that so many people have asked us for.
Premium Controls
Our Continuum Series globes have replaced the previous plastic knobs with luxurious machined aluminum knobs, the kind you might see on high end audio equipment. Paired with these knobs is a new high quality carbon potentiometer, which provides a buttery smooth feel and precise control over the plasma display.
We’ve also added a separate on/off switch with a built-in, dimmed LED indicator. The separate power switch makes ignition of the plasma gasses much more reliable, especially with our more power-hungry globes like “Emerald Fury” and “Promethean Fire.”
12" Continuum Series Globe
For the first time ever, we are offering a 12-inch version of our Professional Plasma Globes! Initially available in “Genesis” style, with “Promethean Fire” coming soon, and more styles coming in the future!
The Same Dazzling Effects
“Continuum Series” globes have the same effects that are proven and loved by our many customers. We are initally offering the 15-inch Continuum Series in “Genesis” and “Emerald Fury” styles, with “Promethean Fire” coming soon.
One Final Touch
We have always considered the controls to be on the back side of the globe, but many customers like having the controls on the front, and having the power input in the same place was an inconvenience. To solve this, we have now moved the power receptacle to the underside of the globe, allowing you to position the globe however your want without the cord getting in your way!
Some of the reviews shown are from related products the merchant grouped with this one.

My Phoenix Rising is 56 of 100, the 15 inch, and it arrived in perfect condition after a careful two box pack job. This is my second Aurora globe and the step up in scale changes everything. At 15 inches it holds its place in the room from across the space, not just up close.
The character is what sold me. Slow, fat, warm tendrils in white orange and red, more fireplace than lightning storm. The effect has a wide useful range between the lowest and highest power settings, so it can run calm as ambient light or lively as a centerpiece. It anchors a mid century room with a warm amber and red palette like it was made for it.
Customer service is also genuinely excellent. Questions get answered, and the care that goes into these pieces is obvious the moment you unpack one. A serious piece of functional art.

The Phoenix Rising globe delivers in spectacular tendrils of snaking multicolored plasma. It has a soft hum when switched on, reminiscent of a vintage automobile motor's purring. My only minor complaint is that the power cord is on the same side as the switch and nameplate. I would have preferred that it be powered from the opposite side, in similar fashion to most other electronics which have the controls on the front and power cable on the back. Other than that, it is even larger than I anticipated, and the superb packaging ensured that it arrived from its shipping unscathed. Thanks for assembling an awesome product, Aurora Plasma!
Hi Erich,
We appreciate your comments and we can see why you may prefer a different layout on the base but let me give you our thinking on the matter. Many of our customers are museums, science centers and the like. They are presenting the globes to the public and it is best for the globes longevity that the On/Off and power settings not be changed constantly. Having the control at the back of the globe makes it an "Out of Sight, out of Mind" situation while still being accesible. The Indentification plaque placement was decided based on a couple of things. Since the plaque has our name and phone number on it we didn't want some customers to think that we were trying to advertise on their globe. The other consideration was that we felt the globe itself is the main attaction and that we should have clean minimalist look to the base. Thank you for your purchase.

This was a Christmas gift for my husband. I had almost given up on finding a quality globe at a reasonable price. When I opened the box (very well packaged) I was in shock as to the size and quality! My husband was shocked as well when he saw it! We tell everyone about it and where I found it! Definitely the purchase of the year!

The first Phoenix Rising that was sent was damaged by the shipping company and I never saw it. After receiving the second one I was very impressed with the time and care that was spent packing the Plasma Globe. The replacement globe was all so sent quickly which I really appreciate it! The Globe itself is amazing and everyone who has had the privilege of seeing it agrees it is awesome. I'm very happy with my purchase!! Thank you!

Thank you, Aurora Plasma Design, for making the Phoenix Rising globe. I received it today. The colors are phenomenal and just everything else about the craftsmanship including the strength adjustment knob is awesome. Shipping was good. I was worried about shipping since I knew it had to travel so far delicately but it showed up in perfect condition.

The Phoenix Rising globe arrived a few days ago, and I am very impressed! The build quality, size, and sheer beauty of the plasma effects were as good as I had hoped they would be - very securely packaged as well.

We received our Phoenix Rising plasma globe a few weeks ago and we were immediately impressed with the quality. We all crowded around it and were mesmerized for a while. I want to thank Aurora Plasma Design for making such a beautiful piece of art that truly is museum quality available to the general public. We were so impressed with our plasma globe that we're considering ordering another one, but first we have to figure out where on earth it will fit that's also next to an outlet in our home.

Love the plasma ball. The quality and beauty are stunning.

I can't begin to explain how great my globe is. Jerry from Aurora Plasma invited me to his space to show me his creations. He is a busy guy but I think he enjoyed showing me around the shop.
I could not fathom the variety and individuality of the globes. Photo's do nothing to justify the quality of these ion smashing sphere's. These are not toy store gimmicks, these are unique crafted works of art. Jerry is passionate about his product and it shows.
I can't see anyone not being happy with their lightening ball. They are amazing and from what I understand more variations in size, style are in the master plan.

I have to say that when I unpacked my "Phoenix Rising" plasma globe the first thing that struck me was the quality. There's no comparison to those cheap globes you find just about anywhere, the size adds to the impact... Then I turned it on & just reveled in its beauty. I couldn't be happier with every aspect of my purchase. If you are a science geek like me & even if you aren't & you just want a dose of awe at your fingertips, look no further than Aurora - I highly recommend them.

super fast shipping!! Love the product!!!
