The Best Chinese Lanterns

In ancient China, records documenting the use of Sky Lanterns date back to the 3rd Century. They were traditionally used at carnivals and festivals, a tradition that lives on to this day around the globe.

When the candle is lit, the flame heats the air inside the paper balloon causing the lantern to rise into the air. The Sky Orbs Lantern is only airborne for as long as the flame stays alight, after which the lantern floats gently back to the ground.

Sky Orbs Lanterns are made to the highest standards, they only use flame-retardant paper and the fuel cells are non-drip. Finally, Sky Orbs Chinese lanterns pose no threat to wildlife or the environment. They were the first company to develop advanced Chinese Lanterns that contain no metal parts and biodegradable quickly, and are the only company to offer lanterns with a fireproof base, to reduce the risk of danger should the land ignited: a development that they are so proud of that they patent it.

IMAGINE

...congratulating someone close on achieving that special day
...sending birthday wishes up to the stars
...remembering the memories of loved ones past
...welcoming your new baby into the world and wishing upon a star
...or simply to create an amazing visual spectacle.... just because

Launch Instructions
check the direction of the wind before lighting to avoid your Sky Orb blowing into any obstacle. Do not use if the wind speed is above 5mph!
Remove the Sky Orb from it's packaging and unfold carefully. Gently remove the protective cover from around the fuel cell.
Hold the bamboo ring and gently swing to fill the lantern with air.
Hold the top of the sky Orb and get a 2nd person to light the corner of the fuel cell.
Continue to hold the Sky Orb as the air inside heats. When the lantern body becomes self-supporting, move your hands to the bamboo ring at the base.
As the air inside the Sky Orb warms, it will start to slowly rise out of your hands: be sure to make a wish and gentle release.
