Modern Flames Orion Traditional V2 OR42-TRAD-V2 Virtual Electric Fireplace - 42" Built-In

Product Overview

The Modern Flames Orion Traditional V2 42" (OR42-TRAD-V2) is a built-in virtual electric fireplace designed for homeowners, designers and builders who want a traditional fireplace look without gas lines or venting. Its 38 1/8" x 24 3/8" viewing area, up to 30" tall flame display and 5" deep ember bed give it the proportions of a classic masonry opening, which suits living rooms, bedrooms, offices and mantel surround projects.

The V2 uses a next-generation LCD display with Heliovision flame technology and adaptive brightness that adjusts to room lighting. An internally lit log set, black reflective glass and multi-color accent lighting add depth to the flame picture, and the unit pairs with the Modern Flames+ app for Wi-Fi control, flame customization and over-the-air updates.

This 42" model also includes a PTC ceramic heater, built-in speakers with Bluetooth audio streaming, and compatibility with Alexa and Google Home. It is a zero-emissions, 100% electric appliance that can be framed in as a clean-face built-in or used to retrofit an existing opening, subject to the manufacturer's installation manual.
