Sky Lanterns

Sky Lanterns make a beautiful display and are a wonderful addition to any evening event but, like balloons, when they are released they will eventually come down somewhere but unlike balloons many of the Sky Lanterns are just not completely biodegradeable. Even some that say they are have metal wires holding on the fuel cells or for attaching the fuel cells to. What metal is biodegradeable - new one on me! But what happens when the light dies and the lantern falls to earth, the metal will land somewhere causing a hazard to farm animals and wildlife.

A second concern was highlighted on TV when property had been set on fire, some of this was due to people not reading the instructions properly but more concerning when the lit fuel cells had fallen off or dripped as they flew overhead.

But most of this is due to inferior products which are flooding the market. There are however several companies that supply the good quality lanterns so, to ensure that Sky Lanterns are just a beautiful addition to your special event only buy the wire free lanterns with the non drip fuel cell and have a safe an awe inspiring event.

The company that despatches the Sky Lanterns below have confirmed that they are fitted with non drip fuel cells so Happy Flying!
