Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
This is the phenomenon of the year with every other televison advert featuring a sky lantern they are a must have for everyone. These lanterns will excite and enthrall young and old alike and are now fully biodegradable with the controversal wire element contained in early examples now replaced by fire retardant string. Light the fuel cell and allow the hot air from that to fill the lantern so that when ready it is able to float away majestically into the sky. Not to be used by children or in windy conditions. Ideal for all occasions like parties, weddings, bonfire night, New Year, anniversaries etc or just with friends or family.
Product Description
Fireworks and sparklers? Oh how painfully passe. And of course with these one has to submit an 8 page report to Kev from Health and Safety and incur the wrath of the Millers next door who go to bed at 7pm promptly. For something a little more original that won't land you an ASBO, look no further. What you need is a magical, mystical Sky Glowing Flying Lantern. Make your mark, dear customer. Celebrate New Year, Weddings, Birthdays, Halloween, Bonfire Night, Diwali or any other special event with this traditional Chinese-style Sky Glowing Flying Lantern. It will fly for up to 20 minutes and can rise over a mile in the sky where it will be visible to a multitude of folks. 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. But we at Gadgetshop cannot resist the urge to tattoo them with rude messages/not so subtle advertising. The Sky Glow Flying Lantern is made from flame-retardant, bio-degradable materials. Now, one can celebrate in style and create an amazing visual display in the sky without waking everyone within a 5 mile radius. Go forth and light up your life.

Bought these on a whim for my wife's birthday from 'Wish Lanterns' who delivered them well-packed and quickly.
We each lit one, my wife, myself and the two kids (they lit theirs first, of course!)
They were utterly magical and it was fascinating to watch them soaring to quite some height over North London. There'll be few UFO reports in Harrow, I bet and several of the neighbours will be buying them now.
I cannot recommend these highly enough, the kids were thrilled out of their skulls. The lanterns are extremely beautiful and quite some size so you get to watch them float for ages.
These are one of those purchases you will feel really pleased about.

I bought these lanterns after reading good reviews about them. They were bought to celebrate our first wedding anniersary. I opened them to "personalise" them with the free marker pen that came with ut. Much to my disappointment the marker pen was bone dry! I then got a marker pen of my own and thought it's not the end of the world. As i was unfolding the first lantern it seemed to be stuck together at each point. I gad to take great care but each time i tried to peel it gently it just ripped. I decided maybe it was just that one but every single one was the same. It was as if the glue hadnt dried before they packaged them. After 45 mins of unfloding (whicj should have taken seconds i ended uip with 3 out of ten that luckily didn't rip. I would not reccommend buying this product!

I bought my lanterns from "Light A Lantern". I can see that this advert might sound like its from the seller or a friend but its not, its genuine (i am a customer). The reason i write about them is because they managed to get my order to me within 2 days as i desperately needed the lanterns for a very special occasion and left the ordering too late (not recommended!!!). I was nervous and concerned that they wouldnt arrive but "Light a Lantern" pulled out all the stops and whats more is they responded to an email on Bank Holiday providing me with a contact telephone number to contact them on bank holiday!!! Excellent communication. The actual lanterns were a triumph. These are brilliant lanterns and if you want something special it truly works. its a beautiful and magical moment and well worth the money. We used them to them to remember some special friends....

keep them dry
cant really comment that highly, they all got water damaged before I had a chance to use them. Keep them safe and dry, water destroys them entirely.

Burning Litter
I would urge people not to purchase this product. There seems to be an attitude that as long as litter floats away whilst looking beautiful, it's ok. It isn't. Read more

Let down
We bought 20 of these lanterns and only 7 made it up in to the sky. Extremely difficult to light. Some of the lanterns didn't even come with the flamable block. Read more

Awesome!
These are 'a lot' bigger than I expected and it really does take 2 or 3 people to successfully get them launched. Read more
