TW185 Tomaszek – compact 25-shot firework battery

The TW185 firework battery by Tomaszek is designed for customers looking for a compact yet densely filled fireworks display. The battery features 25 shots, a 20 mm calibre and a total pyrotechnic content of 202.5 g NEC.

The complete effect sequence lasts approximately 24 seconds. This creates a fast and dynamic display without long pauses between individual shots. The aerial effects reach a height of around 25 metres, making them clearly visible from the required safety distance on a suitable open outdoor site.

TW185 can be used independently as a complete compact fireworks display or included as a colourful introduction before larger firework batteries. Explore more firework batteries available from PiroHiT and compare different calibres, shot counts and effect durations.

25 shots for a complete aerial display

The number of shots has a major influence on the length, rhythm and overall structure of a firework battery. With 25 shots, TW185 provides a more extensive display than small cakes containing only 9 or 16 shots, while remaining compact and manageable.

Once the battery has been correctly positioned and the fuse has been ignited, the complete programmed sequence fires automatically. There is no need to light several individual fireworks one after another. A single ignition produces a coherent aerial display lasting approximately 24 seconds.

The combination of 25 shots and a fast firing rhythm makes TW185 suitable for customers who want plenty of visual action within a relatively short period. The display is compact, clearly structured and effective as a standalone feature during a smaller celebration.

20 mm calibre – compact, dynamic and colourful

The calibre is one of the most important technical specifications when comparing firework batteries. TW185 uses launching tubes with a diameter of 20 mm, equivalent to approximately 0.8 inch.

A 20 mm calibre is commonly used in compact batteries with a faster firing rhythm. It provides an attractive balance between the physical dimensions of the product, the height of the effects and the number of shots contained within the battery.

The final appearance of a fireworks display is not determined by calibre alone. The firing speed, sequence of effects, colour combinations, effect height and total pyrotechnic content also play an important role.

202.5 g NEC – net pyrotechnic content

TW185 contains a total of 202.5 g NEC. NEC stands for Net Explosive Content and indicates the total mass of the pyrotechnic composition contained in the product.

The NEC value is useful when comparing different firework batteries, but it does not describe the entire visual performance. A compact product with a dynamic firing sequence can create an intense impression even when larger batteries have a higher total NEC.

In TW185, the pyrotechnic composition is distributed across 25 individual shots. Together with the 20 mm calibre, this creates a compact, fast-developing and densely filled aerial show.

Approximately 24 seconds of effects

The total effect duration is approximately 24 seconds. This means that the 25 shots are fired at a fast pace without making the display feel disorganised or excessively rushed.

The relatively short but intensive duration matches the character of TW185. It is not a long-lasting compound firework, but a compact cake designed to deliver a clearly structured sequence of aerial effects within a short period.

TW185 can therefore be used as an energetic opening to a larger show or as a colourful middle section between quieter and more powerful products.

Effect height of approximately 25 metres

The effects of TW185 reach a height of around 25 metres. This allows the visual compositions to appear clearly above the firing site and remain visible to spectators positioned at the required safety distance.

A clear space above the battery is essential. Do not use the product beneath trees, overhead cables, balconies, roofs or other obstacles. Always select a flat and open firing site that meets the requirements stated in the instructions.

What occasions is TW185 suitable for?

The TW185 Tomaszek firework battery can provide a colourful visual feature during various outdoor celebrations, provided that its use is permitted by local regulations:

• New Year’s Eve and New Year celebrations;
• birthdays and anniversaries;
• weddings and wedding receptions;
• garden parties and smaller outdoor events;
• family celebrations;
• a compact standalone fireworks display;
• a dynamic opening to a larger fireworks show;
• a colourful transition before batteries with a larger calibre.

TW185 as a standalone firework battery

Thanks to its 25 shots, 202.5 g NEC and approximately 24-second display duration, TW185 can be used independently. With a single ignition, the product provides a complete sequence of aerial effects, making it a practical option for a smaller celebration.

The battery is particularly suitable for customers who want more than a very small cake but do not require a large and heavy firework battery or compound firework.

Combining TW185 with other fireworks

For a longer and more varied display, TW185 can be combined with fountains, rockets, smaller cakes or larger firework batteries. Begin with quieter ground effects and then use TW185 as the first dynamic aerial battery.

TW185 can be followed by a product with a larger calibre, a higher shot count or a longer effect duration. This allows the intensity of the show to increase gradually while keeping the most powerful product for the finale.

When combining several firework batteries, choose products with different calibres, effect durations, firing speeds and visual styles. This creates more variety than firing several similar cakes one after another.
