  • will they catch on fire?

    after you light it when it lands will it still be lit?

    or will the flame be out?

  • Skylighters Sky Lanterns are treated so that they will not catch on fire. However they can char enough to get a hole in them and make them unsafe to fly.

    They fly until they have run out of fuel. So they will not land until the flame is out.

  • DANGEROUS? Are you serious? Do you live to shit on everyone's good time? It's about as dangerous as a sparkler. Yes, if you are retarded and don't handle it with proper care it can be dangerous. In China and Thailand lighting of these lanterns are symbolic of releasing your worries. This has been done for generations and if random fires resulted during their festivals i think they would have put a stop to it a couple hundred years ago.

  • i love these it was so cool i was on holiday in thailand phuket potaong beach and i was staying at a new hotel gracenlands i think and it was the suncron festible and they took everyone at the hotel and lite about 500 of these and they all went up it was quit a sight

  • Awesome...watch my video please

  • These are awesome.

  • The Maritime and Coastguard Agency says coastguards and lifeboats are sent out needlessly. In 2010 the agency recorded 1,500 flare incidents, of which 500 were believed to be false alarms caused by lanterns, while the CAA says they also pose danger to landing aircraft.

  • Crops are also at risk; last summer in Oxfordshire, a blaze from a lantern destroyed 2.5 hectares of barley. Litter is also a problem, said the NFU: "The people releasing lanterns wouldn't dream of dumping rubbish, but that's what is happening."

  • Civil Aviation Authority wants a ban on the sale of the sky lanterns, which are paper and wire hot air balloons fuelled by a naked flame. "People have no control where they land," said Nick von Westenholz, government affairs adviser for the NFU. Dorset and Somerset fire service said it had seen a sharp increase in lantern fires in the past year. Farmers say cows suffer stomach damage from eating the wire of fallen lanterns.

  • U were hasty?

    

  • or you could save yourself 2 minutes burning your fingers and fill it with a hairdryer or on a hob then light it

  • People with a good pair of eye's can tell the difference between these pieces of pointless crap and an orb which fluctuates within different colours and changes speed.

  • thats nearly 2 minutes u spent pissing about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! light it on the gas ring...lit and filled with warm air in 20 seconds tops..ready to let go outside.................job done!!!!!!!!!!!
