After release the Wish Lantern will burn for approximately twelve minutes, and then self-extinguish and float gently to the ground. Made of 100% biodegradable material they will bio-degrade in two to three days. Wish Lanterns are completely environmentally friendly and safe to use.

The Wish Lantern is based around the design of the first hot air balloon - The Kongming Lantern - which is said to have been invented by the sage and military strategist Zhuge Liang. Chinese lanterns are claimed to date as far back as the 3rd century AD as a type of signalling balloon. Similar products are also known as sky Lanterns or Khoom Fay.

Simply light the fuel cell at the bottom of the lantern and watch as it gracefully floats up into the sky. Each Wish LanternTM comes individually wrapped with a set of safety instructions enclosed and a sleeve of silica gel in each sleeve. Wish LanternsTM are the must-have party item - fireworks will never be the same again.
