The Traditional Electric Fireplace Insert That Actually Looks Like Fire
Most electric fireplaces give themselves away — the flame moves wrong, the logs look plastic, and anyone who's sat next to a real fire knows the difference immediately. The Orion V2 Traditional is built specifically to close that gap. Next-generation LCD technology displays high-definition fire across a 17-inch vertical viewing area, with lit driftwood logs and a moving ember bed that make the hearth look genuinely occupied — not like a screensaver.

The Full Picture
The fireplace in a restaurant or hotel lobby isn't decorating the wall — it's the first thing people see when they walk in, and it's what they describe when they tell someone else to go. That's the job the Orion V2 Traditional is built for.
The 26" model gives you a 22-7/16" × 17-1/16" viewing window — tall enough that the flames have real presence rather than a thin band of light. The internally lit driftwood log set plugs into the ember bed and sits exactly where real logs would, with reflective black crushed glass layered around it. Adaptive brightness reads ambient light in the room and adjusts the flame display automatically. At noon with the lights up, it holds its own. At dinner service with lights dimmed, it commands the space.
Control happens through the Modern Flames+ app, the included remote, built-in touch controls on the unit, or by voice through Alexa or Google Home. Over-the-air updates deliver new flame styles and content directly through the app — the same way a phone receives a software update — so the fireplace doesn't become dated after two years on the wall. And because the V2 uses the identical chassis dimensions as the V1, it's a direct drop-in replacement for any existing Orion Traditional installation.
Who It's For
The Orion V2 Traditional is the right fit for boutique hotels and B&Bs with traditional fireplace openings in guest rooms or common areas, high-end restaurants and bars looking to convert an existing masonry hearth into a controllable focal point, and luxury residential properties where the fireplace is the anchor of a primary living room or suite. It's also the practical answer for anyone who wants to eliminate the ongoing cost and maintenance of wood or gas while keeping everything a fireplace is supposed to do — provide warmth, presence, and the kind of ambiance that makes a room feel finished. Two installation paths cover both new builds (clean-face built-in) and existing openings (insert) with one unit.
