Modern Flames 36" Orion V2 Traditional LCD Electric Fireplace

Traditional fireplace aesthetics have always had a distinct appeal. The Modern Flames 36" Orion V2 Traditional LCD Electric Fireplace takes everything people love about that classic look and pairs it with technology that would have seemed impossible even a few years ago.

Next-generation LCD flame effects, TruWood-style log detailing, smart app control, and a built-in audio system come packaged in a 36-inch format that fits a wide range of homes and installation types. Dreamwood Living carries the Orion V2 Traditional because it represents something rare: a fireplace that honors classic design without making a single concession on modern performance.

Modern Flames 36" Orion V2: Traditional Character Powered by LCD Innovation

The flame display in the Orion V2 Traditional is a meaningful departure from what most electric fireplaces offer. LCD technology produces multi-dimensional flame effects with richer color, greater depth, and a realism that holds up under close inspection.

The adaptive brightness display adjusts automatically to the room's lighting conditions, so the flame effect looks just as engaging at midday as in the evening.

At 36 inches, this model is well-suited to living rooms, bedrooms, studies, and retrofit installations where a traditional aesthetic is important to the overall design. Homeowners and designers browsing our electric fireplaces will appreciate how naturally this unit fits into period-style interiors without looking out of place.

Feature highlights include:

• Next-Gen LCD Flame Technology: Multi-dimensional flame effects with richer colors and genuine visual depth

• Adaptive Brightness Display: Automatically calibrates to suit any lighting condition throughout the day

• Smart App Control and Over-the-Air Updates: Manage flame styles and receive new updates through the Modern Flames app

• Highly Realistic TruWood Log Set: Internally lit logs with detailed grain and texture for an authentic wood-burning appearance

• Energy-Efficient Heating: No gas lines, no venting, no smoke, and no ongoing maintenance requirements

An Audio Experience Worth Talking About

The Orion V2 Traditional treats sound as seriously as it treats visuals. The integrated speaker system adds a sensory layer that brings the whole experience together:

• Crackling Fire Sound Effects: Layered audio that makes the flame display feel lived-in and atmospheric

• Bluetooth Streaming Capability: Connect a device and play music or ambient audio through the fireplace speakers

• Flexible Audio Control: Sound can be adjusted or switched off independently from the flame display and heat settings

Design Details That Earn the "Traditional" Label

This fireplace earns its traditional designation through deliberate aesthetic choices, not just form factor:

• TruWood-Style Log Set: The internal lighting on the log set creates a glow and shadow effect that replicates the look of burning wood convincingly

• Black Glass Media Bed: Frames the flame display with a polished finish that suits both traditional and transitional interior styles

• Compact 36-Inch Profile: Versatile enough for fireplace surrounds, media consoles, built-in nooks, and bedroom feature walls

• Built-In Installation Format: Designed for a clean, integrated finish that looks intentional rather than an afterthought

FAQs

Can the 36" Orion V2 Traditional replace an existing wood-burning fireplace insert?

It can work as a retrofit option in many existing fireplace openings, provided the framing dimensions are compatible. The framing opening measures 32 5/8" wide by 23 7/8" high by 10 1/2" deep. Always verify measurements before purchasing.

Does this model need to be hardwired, or can it plug into a standard outlet?

Both are possible. The Orion V2 Traditional ships with a power cord for standard 120V use at 5,000 BTUs, on a dedicated 15-amp minimum circuit (20 amps preferred). For 240V operation at 10,000 BTUs, it must be hardwired to a dedicated circuit by a licensed electrician.

How does the BTU output on the lower setting compare to the higher setting?

On a standard 120V circuit the unit runs one heater at 1,465 watts for 5,000 BTUs. Hardwired to a dedicated 240V circuit, both heaters run for 2,930 watts and 10,000 BTUs. The 240V option is available on the 36", 42" and 54" Orion V2 Traditional only.
