Chinese Sky Lanterns - Firework alternative, great for special occasions

BRAND NEW ITEM

Our lanterns stand more than 80cm tall and take approximately 45 – 60 seconds to fill with hot air before they are ready to be released into the night time sky.

You will feel the sky lantern starting to tug and pull upwards when it is ready to be released.  The lantern will rise up to about 500m in the sky and will take between 2- 5 minutes before the flame dies out and the lantern gently floats to the ground.

Also known as Khoom Fay (Sky Lanterns), these lanterns have been used in Chinese and Thai celebrations for thousands of years. Traditionally, lighting a Sky Lantern would take away your troubles and the higher the Sky Lantern went, the greater your prosperity for the future!

Nowadays Sky Lanterns are currently taking the European market by storm!  From weddings to corporate events, they are being launched at all of the top notch weddings and celebrations and an article was recently written in the UK Wedding Magazine – November 2007 edition – as a super cool (and different) way to celebrate your wedding.

From weddings to bar mitzvahs, from diwali to lobola celebrations, sending up a display of sky lanterns will leave your guests amazed as they illuminate the night-time sky.
