After owning a 15 inch Promethean Fire globe for a few weeks, I decided to get a 12 inch Genesis as well.
I didn’t plan on this initially, but once you see one in person things change.
The colors are vibrant, the streamers are agile, and the electronics are solid. I find that I’m running them 4 hours a day on average, medium power.
For those wondering about the active cooling, I’d compare the fan noise to that of a laptop under medium load. I have an air purifier, and it’s much noisier. Maybe switch it off if you’re going to be doing close listening with the HiFi.
Customer service is at least as solid as the globe’s build quality, and Jerry answered some questions I had about the break-in period on the Promethean Fire, and even went into specifics about the electronics.
As cool as it’d be, I’ll hopefully never see a powerful aurora down here in Florida. These devices scratch the itch.
Im very satisfied with both of the globes . If your looking for a affordable plasma globe that isnt a cheap toy, this is the only one i could find. There either cheaply made or very expensive.
These wands are a perfect companion to a running globe. Hold one near the glass and it fires a full glowing column down its length with nothing plugged in, which never stops being delightful for guests. The Lava Flow orange is striking against a warm globe.
I had a minor issue with my order, and Aurora resolved it quickly and generously. That is how a good business earns repeat customers, and it is why I keep coming back.
Fun little tubes, standup company.
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.
This is my first Aurora globe and I have wanted a high quality plasma globe since I was a kid. The Genesis delivers. It is easily the most colorful effect I have seen in person: green tendrils with red and orange tips and hints of violet when you play with the power level.
The 8 inch size concentrates the effect rather than diluting it, and it runs dead quiet. No buzz at all. The field is also strong enough to light noble gas ampoules held near the glass, which adds a whole second layer of fun.
It lives next to my PC where the green palette fits the zone perfectly, and it gets run daily. Wonderful piece of work.
The 12" Legacy "Genesis" model I ordered is the most incredible plasma globe I've ever had the pleasure to experience in person. And that's the small one! The interplay of electricity and color is mesmerizing, and the greens and blues from what I assume is a fairly high concentration of xenon are stunning. I've never seen a plasma lamp with such a variety of colors before.
Already ordered several more, both for myself (had to see a 15" "Phoenix Rising" with its stark neon red and krypton white) and as gifts. Highly recommended!
Globe looks fantastic with excellent build quality.
I couldn’t be happier.
It was a pleasure doing business with you.
Thanks again,
Jimmy
Amazing plasma ball. Searched a ton and decided on Aurora and picked the Junior series in the Tyrian purple since it had red mixed in the color scheme.
This globe exceeded all expectations. Very high quality with great fit and finish. Pictures do not do it justice. I bought this for the whole family to use and interact with. Well worth it. Spend the extra money and at least go with the Junior Pro series if you are already willing to blow money on the “junky” ones sold/found in stores compared to what you get with this plasma ball.
My boys are 6 and 10 and love interacting with it. Great purchase that I would immediately make again.
I spent an hour just taking in the reflections and refractions of other hanging lightings against the globe’s sphere(notice the smiley face;) and then after turning it on I was inspired to learn even more about the science within it. This purchase is seriously worth more than I paid, in my opinion, for the beauty it radiates. It arrived from a company that had it upside down with the “this side up” obvious visible so I was worried of the condition as it also had “fragile” and so many other warnings so thoughtfully plastered all over the box. From Canada to East Coast, US with handling unknown and it was so safely packaged that not even planes, trains, autos and “bubba’s smash delivery service” (no fault of Aurora) did not damage it. Many thanks, gratitude and Love to you all at Aurora Plasma Design’s.
Got the 15" and this thing is incredible. I was on the fence because its quite expensive but let me tell you its worth every penny.
The Genesis Pro (green color) is what I thought the Emerald Fury (white) would have been. The adjustable power level alone makes this worth so much more than the max power normal Junior series. The power brick is about 1/3 the size of the older model. Even at full power, the metallic pinging noises from the bolts hitting the glass have been cut to about 1/4 of the loud annoyance that they were in the previous model. I can now leave this running during a movie as ambient lighting, without it distracting me with the loud noises my other Junior ball makes.
I could stare at this all day, and it puts my mind in such a meditative state. The build feels really solid, and no issues with shipping.
Thanks for sending me the parts and info to get the ball rolling again. Was not that hard
Ordered the Genesis 15in...it is awesome. Great size, base, action, colors. Dimmer knob a nice feature as well. Jerry and his staff were informative and helpful throughout the process. Highly recommend this item.
The plasma globe is something I have always wanted to own. When I found the Continuum Genesis 🔮 I knew it was the one. It far exceeded my expectations. I just love to sit and be in it's presence. The colours are wonderful and are identical to the videos on the website. It is worth the price. I purchased the 15" version. I was thrilled to see the brass plaque indicating it's production number.
When not being touched the tendrils of plasma are green with red ends, when touching it, the tendrils turn blue/purple to green depending on the amount of resistance on the glass. It is a genuine color change, not a product of colored glass found in inferior products.
The Genesis Junior Pro is an exceptional lamp! The colors are rich and saturated, and the control knobs make it fun to adjust the settings to produce different effects. It makes some interesting patterns on the inside of the glass that I've not observed in other globes. The powerful field that it produces is strong enough to activate nearby bulbs and ampules containing rare gases. I have a few plasma globes, and this one is my favorite by far. If you are undecided about this lamp, go ahead and buy it. You won't regret the purchase. The service and communication were also outstanding. Thank you so much!
P.S. I don't normally operate the lamp in such proximity to other lamps because it's not great for them long-term. They were arranged this way only for a quick "family portrait". =)
I’m very happy with it, ten times the quality of my 80’s toy. The feature to control the intensity is the best part. There is no limit to the speed and patterns you can have. The colors vary with spectacular whites, blues, green and red. Pictures cannot capture the brilliance of electricity. The entire globe gives off a blue aura in darkness. It’s moving art. I would not hesitate to buy one. I’m saving up for the big one. Thank you for your prompt help when I accidentally ordered it twice. Great company and people, shipped secure and fast for a US residence.
I thought that I would only be able to see it glow in a dark room. I was very surprised and delighted when it lit up for the first time. Much brighter than I thought it would be. I recommend this to everyone. I like the glow of it.
I would also like to apologize to my Canadian Friends for my governments actions.
The students in class and myself are blown away by the 15 inch Genesis Globe. Mesmerizing and fun. Very happy with this purchase.
