Top tips for chinese lanterns

Many people find lighting their Chinese Lantern an easy task, however, here are some tips to ensure you get it right everytime.



1. Always check weather conditions are clear and calm prior to lighting your Wish Lantern, never use the Lanterns on a windy day or near tree, electricity poles, etc...
2. Always use two people to light the Wish Lantern.
3. Have one person hold out the corners of the lantern while the other person lights each corner of the fuel cell, we’ve found it easiest to light with a cigarette lighter.
4. Wait for the lantern to fill up with hot air before releasing, try not to get too excited and throw it into the air, wait for it to fill up fully and then release it, the lantern will rise faster this way.

Using this technique you can be assured that you will get the maxinum benifit out of your sky lantern.

Happy Flying
