Before purchasing our famous Chinese Sky Lanterns, we kindly ask all customers to read over these helpful tips for launching.

• Prior to use, keep lanterns in a dry and secure place, away from children.
• Become familiar with the lanterns before lighting and launching.
• Check the wind direction prior to releasing the lantern to make sure its flight path is clear.
• Do not launch in wind conditions any higher than 5 mph. Refer to your local weather forecast for wind speeds.
• All buildings and trees should be farther than 30 meters away.
• Do not light lanterns within five miles of an operational airport or landing strip.
• Do not light lanterns within two miles of a road or highway.
• Do not light lanterns in an area where the glow can be mistaken for a distress signal.
• Unpack the lanterns away from the source of ignition.
• Never light lanterns under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Never smoke while handling lanterns.
• Before the lantern is launched, the naked flame must be supervised at all times and never unattended.
• Launching a lantern that is torn or has burn holes may cause premature landing, which in turn may cause a fire.
• When lit, the flame heats the air inside the lantern, causing it to rise into the air like a hot air balloon. It needs a minute or two to heat up, it won't float right away
• Ensure all children are kept under the supervision of and away from the source of ignition.
• Make sure you have water and/or fire extinguishers at hand.
• Do not light and release the lanterns wearing flammable clothing, in case the wick ignites the clothing.
• For additional safety, protective gloves can be worn.
• Our Lanterns are 15 inches diameter at the bottom, 22 inches diameter at the top, and 40 inches tall.
