Frequently asked questions about Sky Candles:

1. Is launch permission required?

In most cases, no, but it would be advisable to contact your local authorities, for advice on possible regulations.

Do not use near main roads or in area where Sky Candles could be misinterpreted as a distress signal.

Important: The use of Sky Candles abroad must be approved by the local authorities of the country in question. The user in the respective country is responsible for following the set safety guidelines and regulations.

2. What is the most appropriate launch site for the Sky Candles?

We recommend using Sky Candles in a clear open space free from obstructions, i.e. power cables, trees or buildings. For maximum visibility, a clear sky is preferable. Keep away from sites with flammable gases and liquids.

3. What are the suitable weather conditions for launching Sky Candles?

Best Conditions, for launching: Still weather conditions with little wind.  A maximum wind force of 2 on the Beaufort scale (4 - 7 miles per hour) must not be exceeded at the time of launching the candles, due to the risk of the Sky Candle flying off course.

We do not recommend using Sky Candles when it is raining. Light precipitation/drizzling may still allow Sky Candles to fly, but we strongly discourage using them in heavy downpours.

4. What can be used to write good luck wishes upon the Sky Candles?

For best results, we recommend using a large felt-tip pen on a flat, even surface, free from dirt and moisture.  This is to ensure that the paper does not tear when written upon. To ensure best results minimal pressure should be applied.

5. How high do the Sky Candles fly, and for how long?

One Sky Candles burns and flies for approximately 5 - 10 minutes, in optimal weather conditions, the Sky Candles can reach heights between up to 1500m. Factors affecting Sky Candles flight include: Size of lantern, Size of heat source (fuel cell), Ambient temperature at launch site (Ground Degrees Celsius/Fahrenheit), Temperature fluctuations at various heights above launch site (Air Temperature), Location of Launch site (valley, mountain, launch site shaded by wind etc), Wind speed and direction at launch site (Ground), Wind speed and direction above launch site (In Air).

6. What happens once the fuel source has been exhausted?

Once the Fuel Cell has expired, there is no flame or fuel material left, so the Sky Candle float gently back to the Earth. Falling Sky Candles with extinguished fuel cell pose no fire risk.

The Sky Candle and fuel cell may in no way be modified or altered from its original state.

Sky Candles are made from biodegradable materials; Rice or Mulberry paper, on a Bamboo frame, which means they decompose in the shortest of times.
Please adhere to the safety guidelines and instructions laid out before you at all times.
