Frequently Asked Questions

THE drone shows are a disruptive technology ahead of its time. Our prices start at 16,000 euros for a show reproduced several times at the same venue. Find details online of price for a drone show.

We offer pre-designed scenographies each season.

We recommend allowing 2 months to properly plan each milestone.

Please note that the duration of the prefecture's authorization request is 45 days for a public show and 30 days for a private show.

Our pre-filled files allow us to ensure that the prefectures give their response quickly.

Together, we strive to find a new date that suits you best.

Yes, all the shows we design are thought out based on a theme.

Then we look for images and inspirations that we can adapt into shows. 

If you have an idea, our creative team would love to hear about your project.

The only limit is your imagination.

More concretely, our technical limit is 65534 drones.

Allumee produces outdoor shows only.

Our drones position themselves in space using signals sent by GNSS satellite constellations (GPS, GALILEO, BAIDU).

The constraints are similar to fireworks, we are limited to strong winds, heavy rains and thunderstorms.

Yes, we can operate above water. This requires additional precautions but will greatly simplify the establishment of a ballet in a dense urban area.

Our drones have 25 minutes of effective flight time. 

However for safety in case of very low temperature or very strong wind, we design shows of 20 minutes maximum.

Nevertheless, we can foresee two fleets of drones that take turns every 20 minutes to put on a perpetual show.

This will strongly depend on the surface displayed in the sky and the density of drones.

A drone is visible up to 5 kilometers away, however alone it will be difficult to see among other light sources. 

On the other hand, 200 drones in dense formation can greatly exceed these 5 kilometers.

This is exactly the question that the Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile asked us, and we wrote a 200-page file to explain it. 

They liked the answer! And we are allowed to fly anywhere in Europe.

In summary: A lot of security and simple and easily applicable procedures.

For the public the risk is extremely low, we have: 

• Software security
• Hardware security
• Observers
• In the worst case, the drone will fall into the exclusion zone, where the public is not.

We prefer to leave this area to specialized companies because it goes against our values, these shows generate a lot of nuisance (pollution, noise, fire).

Technically, with two fleets taking turns, we can put on a continuous show.

With a single fleet, the time to change the batteries and calibrate the drones, it will take us 30 minutes.

We take care of this part to be sure that nothing is missing on D-Day.

Yes, our drones are reusable. They are rated to fly thousands of hours, we consider them a sustainable resource.

We know that 70% emotions pass through sound. At Allumee we are committed to offering a sound and light system that will delight spectators.  

In order to respond as precisely and quickly as possible to your request, we need the following information:

• The desired duration of the show.
• The number of drones desired. We invite you to refer to the page “Our shows” in order to realize the possible achievements.
• The possible flight zone(s). A Google Map link would be ideal.
• The date of the performance.
• The type of performance desired: show from the catalog or personalized show.
