Four Aurora plasma globes

Four plasma globes that I got from Aurora Plasma Design in 2017-2019. Two of them are running on drivers stolen from Smirnoff plasma displays and two of them are running on the original drivers.

    These are beautiful, I could sit and watch those for hours

    Very cool. I didn't know they made ones this big. I'll have to get one.

    I wish they were available in the UK

    The Aurora globes are a bit pricey but they're really really great.

    AURORAS measure 22' tall and 15'' globe. I have two.  However your lamps look photo shopped.  I've taken a lot of plasma lamp photos and even posted the rare MAGMA Plasma Lamp 12'' globe and it looks nothing like your photo.  Nothing like the photo posted. Almost looks fake.  What am I missing here.   Especially the one in front of the window.  The glow looks totally off.

    This was a 1 second exposure, first of all. Anyway - the globes on the stands are a "broken in" Promethean Fire and an Emerald Fury. Both are running on drivers which are around double the frequency of typical plasma drivers - for both of those globes this improves the effect quite a lot. The Emerald Fury specifically is much more chaotic with a clearer image.

    On the bottom are a quite old Genesis II which was run for many thousands of hours (which is why the effect is so dramatically different from what one would expect) and a Phoenix Rising. Nothing here is photoshopped.

    I just bought an genesis junior. If I like it I'll buy one of the big ones. Maybe a phoenix rising. I've been thinking about buying a plasma globe for a while now and didn't know there were high quality ones for collectors so thanks for posting this.
