20 X Sky Lanterns Khoom Fay Night Lights Ufo Balloons : 3 results priced between £1.00 and £50.00

Traditionally, Khoom Fay or Sky Lanterns were made of oiled rice paper with a bamboo frame carrying a small candle in order to provide the heat to warm up the air. Their invention is credited to Zhuge Liang, a brilliant strategist from the Three Kingdoms era in China. It was one of his most useful and innovative inventions, using the concept of hot air rising over cooler air, which was a novel idea at the time. This concept was not reproduced in Western countries until the 17th century.

These lanterns are flame retardent and fully bio-degradable and use a safe solid fuel cell. Open the lantern and fill with air. Light the fuel cell and wait until the sides of the lantern get warm and the lantern starts to pull upwards. Release the lantern and watch it soar to hundreds of feet. Once the fuel cell has expired the lantern gently falls back down to earth.
