Send your lantern soaring to celebrate New Year, Weddings, Birthdays, Halloween, Bonfire Night, Diwali or any other special event. It will fly for up to 20 minutes and can rise over a mile in the sky - where it will still be visible all around!

Traditionally used in Chinese and Thai celebrations, these are a beautiful and fascinating way to light up the sky that's becoming increasingly popular throughout the world for any kind of event. Flying Lanterns are traditionally known as 'Khom Fay' or 'Khom Loy' in China and have been used for nearly two thousand years. It was believed that wishes written on lanterns would rise up to the heavens and come true.

The Sky Glow Flying Lantern is made from flame-retardant, bio-degradable materials and the frame is made from Bamboo - a wood that is quickly replenished. A quieter, gentler alternative to fireworks, flying lanterns are the safe, simple and perfect way to create an amazing visual display in the sky!
  • Made from flame resistant paper, it is 100% biodegradable
  • Fuelled for 15-20 minutes of flying time
  • Includes: 10 flying lanterns

  • Safety instructions:
  • Only use in very calm conditions.
  • Only use in open spaces and not near to buildings.
  • Not suitable for use by children under 16.
  • Never use near airports, under flight paths, near pylons or overhead cables.
  • Do not use near anything that may catch fire, such as dry crops or woodland.
  • Keep a fire extinguisher or bucket of water nearby.
  • This product is not a toy and should not be used by children.
  • Do not tie anything or add any weight at all to the lantern.
  • Do not use if you are under the influence of alcohol
  • The Eco Lanterns have no metal parts. The metal wire holding the fuel in place has been replaced with bamboo and are 74cm when fully inflated.

 Serious fire hazard!

| | See all wayneking's reviews (3)

these are a major fire hazard and as the warning on the product page implies, there are few safe places to use them!

have a little respect for your local environment and neighbours and don't risk starting serious fires in this nature. You're basically sending a flame anywhere the wind cares to take it with no control at all over where it might land or what it might ignite.

If you live in the middle of nowhere, fair enough I suppose, but if you're in a city or near any tall grasses, forests or petrol stations or many types of farms, these are not such a good idea!

 Regarding the Fire Issues

| | See all 22GrandJob's reviews (7)

I bought one of these and set it free outside Glasgow in Scotland. The thing lifted really well and went really really high. With regards to people worrying about fire hazards and the eco factor, the lanterns are made from rice paper making the 100% bio degradeable. Any rain will virtually turn it into mulch, so no problems there. And as for fire risks, the paper for the fire to burn on has a limit. And since the lantern will not start lowering until the hot air cools, the lantern will have to burn itself out before returning to ground.

Excellent product for celebrating occassions

 Littering

| | See all toppebster's reviews (1)

These things may look pretty, but when they fall they just add to the unsightly mess levels. If they end up in fields what are they going to do to livestock. Save money don't buy them and use the money tat is saved more usefully

This item can be used for many reasons but if you have lost someone to death, recently, anniversary or whatever, writing a simple message on one of these, lighting it, and watching it softly float and rise to the sky, to the heavens if you wish, is an affordable fantasic idea.

 Fun For all the Family.

Some people just need to chill out! I watched some kid drop a crisp packet earlier today, he did more littering than what all 10 of these do....

We had these at a party, Great idea, works great, Just please be careful of the small fire issue.

Open spaces is best! And calm weather, Definately not near buildings. Just read the safety precautions and everything will be just dandy =)
