How to launch our chinese flying paper lanterns?
Sky lanterns are not that different from hot air balloons, it is the heated air that makes this chinese lantern fly.
Launching or sky lanterns is not difficult, all it takes is enough hot air inside the balloon. It is obvious that heating the air as shown on the left will not work out, these lanterns are grounded forever! However, the guy on the right either knows his natural sciences or simply did read the attached manual: this is how you do it! One person holds the lantern from the top while the other lights the fuel from below.
Hint: the more of the four angles you will light the sooner the lantern will fly, normally it takes about 90 seconds.
Making our lanterns fly is not that difficult at all!

He loses his mother at the age of 16, which makes a big impression on him. He has been struggling with mental problems from a young age and is regularly hospitalized for this. Because he is partially disabled, he receives a small pension. The combination of his illness, loneliness, the hard isolated life in the mountains with limited means makes him make very instinctive poetry from within, which seems to arise from the complexity and suffering that has haunted him all his life. He is at his best when he describes the overwhelming nature of the area around Andreis. I think one of his most beautiful is how he describes the glow worms, because of his simple life he was very close to nature, just like our candlebags on the grass.
LED lights balloons

Looking for LED lights for balloons, candlebags, light bags, lanterns? You can buy them very easily via our website. They are packed 10 pieces and very simple to use. Each LED light has a plastic tab, if you pull that out, the light will light up. We state that it gives light for 72 hours without any problem, we have customers who tell us that 6 days is also no problem. So we can safely say that such a light has a very long burning time, which is always nice. We often get the question whether LED lights are biodegradable, the answer is no: LED lights are not biodegradable, because they are made of partly plastic and naturally contain a battery, and batteries are not biodegradable to date. They are also extremely suitable for lighting candle bags. If you want to send these bags by post as a Christmas card, such a light can simply be sent in the envelope. If you want to let them fly in a balloon with helium, we advise you to fix these balloons with a string. That way you can admire them all evening as they float above the party. And the kids can take them home afterwards where they provide light for days. That is much more fun and also much better for the environment. If you want to let them fly, you need balloons that are large enough to bear the weight, at least 30 cm. Our balloons are also not biodegradable, but they do break down into tiny tiny pieces under the influence of light.

History of Sky Lanterns
27-01-2019
Sky lanterns have their origin in 3rdcentury China, is it said that they have been invented by Zhuge Liang, a Chinese politician, engineer, writer, military strategist and inventor. His courtesy name was Kongming, which explains the name of the sky lantern: Kongming Lantern.
Kongming found himself trapped during the battle of Pingyang against Sima Yi in the spring of the year 231 and used the sky lanterns for signaling during the battle and to send messages to his allies to ask them for help.
Another explanation for the name Kongming is the fact that the sky lantern resembles the hat worn by Zhuge Liang: that is why it was named after him. Another name for the lanterns is Khoom Fay.
After their use in wartime they were adopted by the local people and launched during festivities together with traditional fireworks. The idea was that the lanterns carried away troubles and brought good luck and prosperity, the higher the lantern would fly the better it was.
In a later stage lanterns were used by monks, the flame guided them to knowledge. Nowadays Chinese still use sky lanterns during the Chinese New Year for good luck. Khoom Fay Lanterns, the fairies of the Sky.
