Frequently Asked Questions

What is a drone light show?

• A drone light show is a spectacular aerial performance where hundreds or even thousands of drones equipped with LED lights fly in synchronized formations to create stunning animations, logos, and stories in the sky. It’s a modern, eco-friendly alternative to fireworks, ideal for festivals, product launches, and celebrations.

How many drones are used in a typical light show?

• The number of drones depends on your event’s scale and creative concept. Small shows may use 300–500 drones, while large-scale productions can feature 1,000–6,000 drones or more to form complex 3D animations and visuals.

How long does a drone light show last?

• Most drone shows last between 10 to 15 minutes, depending on storytelling, location, and flight regulations. However, MIRS Innovate customizes each performance to match your event theme, timing, and audience engagement.

Is a drone light show safe and approved by authorities?

• Yes. Drone light shows require official flight approvals and safety assessments. MIRS Innovate works closely with aviation authorities (e.g., CAAS in Singapore and local regulators worldwide) to ensure full compliance and secure operations.

Can the show include my company logo or custom animation?

• Absolutely! Each drone light show is fully programmable. Our creative team can design custom animations, text, and logos that align with your brand message or event theme—turning your vision into a breathtaking story in the sky.

How far in advance should I book a drone light show?

• It’s best to book at least 4–5 weeks in advance to allow for flight approvals, show design, and animation programming. For large international events, earlier booking ensures smooth coordination with local authorities and venues.

Where can a drone show be performed?

• Open outdoor areas—stadiums, waterfronts, large parks, or plazas—work best. The site must support safe takeoff/landing, crowd separation, and local airspace rules.

How far must spectators be from the flight area?

• Usually 50–100+ meters, subject to site survey and local regulations.

Is a drone show safe?

• We use RTK/GNSS precision positioning, geofencing, link redundancy, failsafes, and tiered safety procedures. Every show undergoes simulation, test flights, and full rehearsals.

How is pricing calculated?

• Pricing reflects drone count, animation complexity, site logistics, permits, crew, and travel. Typically it’s a base fee plus a per-drone rate. We provide fast quotes after scoping.

Can you perform over water or by the sea?

• Yes. We account for wind, humidity, tides, recovery paths, and lighting reflections, and adjust formations and safety buffers accordingly.

What’s the typical event-day run-of-show?

• Load-in and setup → system checks → small-group test flights → full-array rehearsal → show window performance → recovery and verification → strike/clearance.

How do you handle last-minute changes or weather delays?

• We follow a tiered contingency plan: shift the window, run a simplified formation, delay, or reschedule—always prioritizing safety.

What should clients prepare to start?

• Event date/time/location, estimated audience size, brand assets (logo/CI), messaging goals, show length, budget range, music preferences, media/streaming needs, and venue/permit contacts.

How do we book and lock the date?

• Scope confirmation → concept & quote → contract & deposit → design & permits → rehearsals → show delivery. Popular dates fill fast—reserve early.
