Chinese (Khoom Fay) Lanterns

Sky Lanterns seem to get a bit of stick these days but ours are completely biodegradable and are manufactured with fire retardant paper. The market seems to be swamped with cheap lanterns but we made a commercial decision to stock only the very best quality items.

Here is a message from our Sky Lantern supplier.

We are well aware there are cheaper Chinese Lanterns for you , the consumer to purchase.

These Lanterns can be dangerous for the reasons listed below.

• The wicks are usually glycerine based and drip which can be very dangerous if you are looking up as your lantern floats away.
• They may not be fire retardant which means the lantern could catch fire.
• The instructions inside are usually basic and not nearly detailed enough to avoid the hazards that can come with using a Chinese lantern if not used correctly.
• The wick is often too close to the lantern ,causing it to burn the paper.
• The packaging is also a problem as they do not contain anti moisture packets. These lanterns can therefore be damp when lit which creates a problem when trying to launch them.

So please rest assured and buy our lanterns with full confidence.
