Introducing Cosmic Launch Control™ – Interactive Show Trigger

Cosmic Launch Control interactive trigger station with illuminated arcade buttons

Interactive buttons are one of the most popular ways to engage visitors in modern holiday light displays.

We’re excited to introduce Cosmic Launch Control™ — a professionally assembled, outdoor-rated 3-button interactive trigger station engineered for the Baldrick Turniput™ ecosystem. It’s designed to let guests trigger FPP playlists, sequences, effects, API calls, and external devices with a simple push or hold.

No custom wiring. No improvised enclosures. No guesswork. Just clean, reliable interaction — built to match the quality of your Cosmic Controllers system.

Bundle & Save: Save $25 when Cosmic Launch Control™ is purchased with a compatible controller. Discount applies automatically at checkout.

Why Interactive Buttons Are So Popular

Interactive displays turn a lighting show into an experience. Instead of simply watching the display, visitors can trigger songs, animations, or special effects themselves. Kids love choosing their favorite song, guests stay longer to try different buttons, and shows become far more memorable.

Cosmic Launch Control™ was designed to make that type of interaction simple, reliable, and cleanly integrated with Baldrick controllers and Falcon Player.

Designed for Interactive Lighting Displays

Launch Control plugs into Turniput-enabled Baldrick controllers to add simple, durable, real-world triggers for your show. Mount it where guests can reach it, run standard xConnect extensions back to your controller enclosure, then assign actions inside the Baldrick web interface.

How It Works

Each of the three illuminated arcade-style buttons supports both Push and Hold actions when connected to Turniput™ inputs — providing up to 6 programmable actions in a compact control station.

  • 3 illuminated mushroom-head pushbuttons
  • Push + Hold functionality per button
  • Standard xConnect extension cable connection
  • Sealed cable gland for weather-resistant routing
  • Stainless mounting brackets + hardware included

Seamless FPP + Baldrick Integration

When paired with a Turniput-enabled Baldrick controller, Cosmic Launch Control™ integrates directly with Falcon Player (FPP) for real-time show interaction.

Each button can be configured to:

  • Start or stop playlists
  • Play specific sequences or songs
  • Adjust master volume
  • Trigger FPP API calls
  • Enable test modes
  • Activate external devices or relays

All logic is handled within your Baldrick controller and FPP configuration — the Launch Control station itself requires no onboard programming or Raspberry Pi setup.

Built for Outdoor Installations

Launch Control is designed for real-world holiday displays and permanent installations.

  • Durable weather-resistant enclosure (not submersible)
  • Sealed cable entry for clean routing
  • Illuminated buttons for nighttime visibility
  • Stainless mounting brackets for 4×4 posts or flat surfaces

The result is a clean, cohesive interaction station that looks intentional — not improvised.

Custom Labels and Overlays

Every display is different, which is why Launch Control supports multiple customization options for labeling buttons. The Complete Kit includes two seasonal overlay signs (Christmas + Halloween) built for outdoor use and repeated handling. These aren’t stickers or printed vinyl — the graphics and text are embedded into the part so they won’t peel, wear off, or lift at the edges.

  • Printed in UV- and weather-resistant PETG for outdoor durability
  • Multi-layer construction with embedded text and graphics
  • Crisp color separation for clean, professional-looking labels
  • Recessed mounting pocket and internal bracing for rigidity

Launch Control also supports a variety of DIY labeling methods:

  • Seasonal overlay plates (included with the Complete Kit)
  • 3D printable badge plates for raised labels
  • Vinyl graphics from Cricut or Silhouette cutters
  • Weatherproof printable labels for quick customization
