Release Instructions

The most important point when releasing a sky lantern is to be safe and have fun! Please follow our release instructions below for maximum enjoyment of your lanterns.

At least two people are necessary to light a lantern.
Remove the sky lanterns carefully from the plastic wrapping, being careful not to rip or tear the delicate rice paper.
Before igniting the sky lantern, hold it by the cane rim and carefully expand it fully to remove any fold or creases. This will ensure that the lantern will take off safely once ignited.
To ignite the lantern one person must hold it by the top and the bottom rim while the other person lights the fuel cell by holding a flame against it for a few seconds.
PLEASE TAKE CARE WHEN USING AN EXPOSED FLAME TO LIGHT THE LANTERN!
The lantern will soon fill with hot air from the ignited fuel cell touch then it will be ready to be released in approximately 30 seconds.
Hold the lantern by the rim until the lantern is ready to be released then let it go once it is ready to drift into the sky.
