3.0 out of 5 stars They changed the design July 29, 2011

I bought a box of 10 sky lanterns from this company in 2010 and absolutely loved them. They always had plenty of lift on take off and went very high in the sky. I timed them and they had approximately a 4 minute light time before they extinguished.
I wanted to buy some more this year and went through the same company. They have changed the design as they are smaller in dimension and do not have the lift and duration of the ones I bought last year. They are still nice to see lit and floating upwards. I just thought I was buying the same product that I received in 2010 and therefore disapointed in the performance in comparison.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous sky lanterns February 5, 2011

These were the highlight of my daughter's 5th birthday. We had seen the movie Tangled and I thought it would be a really fun idea to send these up for her birthday party. All of the kids were outside sledding and the adults sent the sky lanterns up - we couldn't believe how high they went and how beautiful it was. Everyone asked where I got them - I have no doubt that we will do it again:)

3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and bright...left us with fright... December 30, 2011

By Josef Chamberlin

Can I say something here? I'm not going to label myself a SkyLantern Master Jedi or anything, but I have launched quite a few...and for the first time after 100's of 'em, I felt a little unsafe.

* The directions, albeit not exactly needed by us...are so poorly translated, "Beware of the fire demon who lurks in the sky!" They're
for entertainment purposes only. You're on your own, Fire Demons.

* These are just a teeny bit smaller, a teeny bit cheaper...to us, as for quality control, it must have been a really bad day @Chinese
SkyLantern Factory #9

* Compared to other SkyLantern's, these use a different ignition source - the better-quality one's use wax-encased paper, these use what
looks to be fire-log wax, affixed via wire ends you twist yourself...the other type are ready-2-fly. Consequently, the flame is
higher, not nec. hotter...and burns out quicker. The negative? Because it's all wax, it's heavier...and man, when you're ready to fly,
they rise a-c-h-i-n-g-l-y s-l-o-w, which wouldn't be big deal if not for a little wind and a few shots of Special 151 Proof Herbal
"Wong Hung Low" brand power drink, with genuine Unicorn Horn and Horsefly Extract...which means they are a heck'of'a'lot more nail
biting to launch, herbal drink of not...since you're essentially launching a burning mass of wax below a paper-balloon and you want
that sucker to go high.

All in all? The other lanterns listed...for just a little bit more $$...would have been worth it for safety's sake. The other ones we bought easily went 2000-3000ft, and these went 1000ft max (I'm a pilot and ex-USAF...I can tell). The directions were indecipherable and
we needed a larger area free of obstructions....

Even 'tho they looked pretty...the stress wasn't worth the 5$-$10 we saved. In our case, one group's Skylantern's could have been another city's fire hazard.

3.0 out of 5 stars Be careful!!! January 16, 2012

By ckbabs

Color Name:White 10

I've set these off a few times in the past with family. No problem. We LOVE it! We even write our wishes gently with marker on the lanterns. This past week we set some off and to my horror, the wind picked up and blew one onto the roof. It then couldn't get an updraft to carry it up. And there it stayed bouncing around on a roof. THANK GOD the building didn't catch on fire but I've never been so freaked out in my life. Do not do this if there is even a whisper of wind. Scared me enough that I don't think I'll ever be able to do it again. I've never posted before but I really feel that people need to know the possible dangers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Trust me, July 6, 2012

By Jeremy

I've lit several sky lanterns before, they're the coolest thing ever. But these are different, very different from what they used to sell. The old ones were made of strong paper, already-attached fuel supply that lights quickly, and is very safe. These are made of paper that have tears for every other balloon, have a wax square for the fuel supply (you have to attach yourself, with chance of breaking/crumbling) that takes 30 min to light, and once it does light, it flies horizontal rather than UP. I'm not only writing this review cause I'm ticked off, but because I don't want YOU to buy these for a party or occassion and be sad when you realize they don't work. Waste of money, dangerous, crappy. Don't, please don't, buy. Trust me.

Respectfully,
Jeremy

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth buying January 20, 2012

By N. Bailey

If you can read Chinese you have a head start but if not it wasn't too hard to figure out. Open the package, carefully open the lantern until you see the wire, take the square fuel cell and slide the hole over both loops, butterfly the wires to hold it in place. I staged all 10 at the same time and stacked them. When it was time to set them off I gently unfolded the lantern paper and then holding the wire part I moved it up an down to put air inside to open it up. If you try opening it up any other way you can tear the paper easily and they won't work. The fuel cell wasn't as easy to light as I first thought but with a propane lighter and a little patience it worked just fine. Only one out of the 10 didn't last the full 12 minutes. I would NEVER light them during the dry summer as they burn hot enough to set dry grass on fire if they don't burn out high enough in the air for the fuel cell to stop working. It only takes one to set a field in fire and given that one didn't work and came down while the fuel cell was still burning hot it would be foolish. I would buy them again for my daughters BD. I would also buy them for a NewYears party for everyone to make a wish on.

If the manufacturer would put the fuel cell hole in the center of the fuel cells they would burn better and be safer.
