The Modern Flames Orion Slim Fireplace That Makes People Stop and Ask If It's Real

Most electric fireplaces look like exactly what they are — a screen with a flame graphic running on a loop. The Modern Flames Orion Slim V2 runs on next-generation LCD technology that produces flames with the kind of visual depth and color realism that makes people look twice. It fits a standard 2x6 wall, needs no gas line, and arrives ready to install.

  • Over-the-Air Flame Updates — New flame styles delivered through the app after purchase — the fireplace keeps improving
  • Premium Built-In Speakers — Three crackling soundscapes plus Bluetooth streaming, all from the fireplace itself

The Full Picture

A property either has a focal point or it doesn't. When guests walk into a hotel lobby, a restaurant lounge, or a home great room and there's nothing to anchor the space — no feature, no reason to stop — they keep moving. The right fireplace changes that. People slow down around fire. They sit closer to it, photograph it, and remember it. The question is whether the one you install actually earns that response.

The Orion Slim V2 was engineered to earn it. The next-generation LCD display produces flames with the kind of visual depth that makes people lean in — deeper blacks, richer color gradients, and adaptive brightness that reads the room and adjusts automatically. You don't manage it. It manages itself. Point it at a bright morning lobby or a dim evening bar and it recalibrates in seconds. The built-in speakers layer in crackling fire sounds or let you stream directly from any Bluetooth device. And because it runs on the Modern Flames + platform, new flame styles come over the air after you buy it — the fireplace your guests see this December may look different, and better, by next year.

At six inches deep, it disappears into any standard 2x6 wall. No gas. No venting. A dedicated 20-amp breaker and a finished opening, and it's done. For properties that have been putting off a fireplace because the infrastructure wasn't there, this is the one that removes every excuse.

Who It's For

The Orion Slim V2 52" is the right fireplace for hotel lobbies, boutique resort common areas, upscale restaurants, and luxury apartment amenity spaces that want a genuine visual centerpiece but can't — or won't — run gas or gut walls for a deep firebox. It's equally at home in high-end residential settings: a primary bedroom accent wall, a home bar, a dining room feature, or any room where the space was never designed for a fireplace but the homeowner wants one that looks like it was always supposed to be there. If the installation site is a standard 2x6 wall, the Slim V2 is the most realistic electric option that fits.

The Modern Flames + Platform

The Orion V2 is the only fireplace in the Modern Flames catalog that receives over-the-air flame style updates. Through the Modern Flames + app, flame styles, brightness levels, color settings, ember bed behavior, audio modes, and heat are all managed from a phone or tablet — or handed off to an Alexa or Google Home routine. For hotel and restaurant properties, that means staff can set a morning ambiance and an evening ambiance without touching the unit. For homeowners, it means the experience you have on day one is not the ceiling — it's the starting point.

Frequently Asked Questions
What wall depth does this require?
The Orion Slim V2 52" is 6-5/16" deep and is engineered for standard 2x6 wall construction. The finished opening for a recessed installation is 50-3/4" wide x 19-1/8" high with a minimum depth of 6". No custom framing or bump-outs required for a standard 2x6 wall.
Can this be installed outdoors?
Yes — the Orion Slim V2 is approved for outdoor installation in a built-in configuration under a covered patio or overhang. The overhang must extend at least 50% of the fireplace's height on all exposed sides. Wall-mounted outdoor installation is not approved. All electrical wiring must meet local building codes.
Can I run the flames without the heat?
Yes. A built-in heater lockout micro switch (located behind a small access panel inside the viewing area) lets you permanently disable the heater while keeping the flame display and all other features fully operational. This is ideal for warm-weather ambiance and installations where supplemental heat isn't needed.
What electrical does it need?
A dedicated 20 Amp or higher breaker at 120V / 60Hz is required. The unit draws 1465W (5,000 BTU). It can be plug-in or hardwired — hardwiring requires a qualified electrician. Do not share the circuit with other appliances.
What's new in V2 compared to the original Orion Slim?
The V2 adds a next-generation LCD display with deeper color and sharper contrast, adaptive brightness that adjusts automatically to room lighting, over-the-air flame updates through the Modern Flames + app, a custom-engineered premium speaker system with three crackling soundscapes and Bluetooth streaming, and a TruWood log set lit from within. The V2 is a drop-in replacement for V1 — same physical dimensions and framing requirements.
How is the fireplace controlled?
Four ways: the built-in touch control panel on the upper right corner of the unit, the included premium remote control, the Modern Flames + app (available on iOS and Android, connects via 2.4 GHz WiFi), or through Alexa and Google Home smart home platforms. All four control methods manage flame style, color, speed, ember bed, downlighting, heat, and audio.

The Orion Slim V2 turns a standard wall into the focal point your property is missing — no gas, no venting, no construction surprises. Our team can help you confirm sizing, installation method, and delivery timeline before you order.
