They appeared on the markets and in stores not so long ago, but quickly gained popularity in both children and adults. They are called differently: heavenly or Chinese lanterns, magic lights, balls of desires. Not everyone knows how to launch sky lanterns to get really impressive, and most importantly - safely. Although, probably, everyone saw these beautiful, flying lights across the sky. Do not worry: you can learn how to properly launch sky lanterns in just a couple of minutes. Just read this article and follow all directions exactly. And then you will succeed on the first try!
In general, instructions on how to launch sky lanterns should be present on the package itself. If it is in a language you do not know or is presented in a schematic form that is not entirely clear to you, we offer our recommendations.
First, you need to remove the flashlight from the factory packaging and carefully, trying not to damage it, deploy it. Grasp the hoop at the bottom of the product and shake it a little a couple of times so that the flashlight is filled with air and takes the necessary shape. Secondly, correctly attach the burner, securely fixing it with a wire and spreading its ends to the sides. The burner should be exactly in the center of the base of the sky lantern. Thirdly, evenly, ignite the wick from several sides at once. Since it is quite inconvenient for one to launch sky lanterns, it is better to get a partner: he will hold the product by the upper part, and you will light the wick.
After a couple of minutes, the burner will burn properly. You will need to lower the flashlight lower, to the ground, so that it quickly fills with heated air. As soon as this happens, the flashlight will begin to tend upward. All that remains is to raise it in front of you with outstretched arms and release it into the sky.
Now let's talk about where to launch sky lanterns. Their flight is a romantic and unforgettable sight, but do not forget about safety. It is better if the launch takes place in an open area, away from residential buildings and industrial premises, power lines, railways and other potentially dangerous facilities. Outside the city, you also need to be careful - you can not start lanterns above a wheat field or forest, where they can cause a fire. But near the ponds, sky lanterns can and should even be sent to flight. Dark time of day, calm weather and a mysterious water surface will create a unique atmosphere. And if you still choose the right music, write your desires with a marker on a flashlight (or just make them to yourself), then the event will turn into a real show, giving everyone present a vivid impression. Especially when you launch not one, but several flashlights at once.
Now you know how to launch sky lanterns, where it is better to do it and how to complement the process. We hope you succeed! After all, any event, whether it’s a friendly picnic, a romantic dinner or a noisy party, will pass unforgettably with these amazing lights!
