Sky Lantern

The Original – the best sky lantern on the market!

Sky lanterns, also known as Khoom Fay or Chinese lanterns, are part of a millennia-old Asian tradition. During Thai and Chinese festivals, hundreds of glowing lanterns rise into the night sky – a truly enchanting spectacle. According to tradition, your worries and troubles float away with the lantern. Bring this beautiful tradition to your next celebration!

Why choose the Original Sky Lantern?

Don't settle for a cheap imitation. Our Original Sky Lantern – also called flying lantern or floating lantern – is 100% biodegradable, made from fire-resistant paper, and inflates to a diameter of 90 cm. The burner, made of paraffin-soaked paper, is securely attached to the bamboo frame, ensuring it stays in place throughout the flight. Quality is regularly tested and certified by Bureau Veritas in Lille.

How it works

You'll need two people per lantern: one person holds the sky lantern while the other lights the burner. After lighting, wait about 1.5 minutes for the lantern to fill with hot air – then release it after making a wish. The lantern rises up to 500 metres and glows in the night sky for 8–10 minutes. Simple to use, breathtaking to watch!
