Launching a Wish Lantern- or sky lantern if you prefer- is a relatively straightforward process, but you’d be surprised how many people miss a crucial step and swiftly turn a fun, simple, and rewarding activity into a frustrating one. This needn’t be you. if you follow my simple guide to a successful lantern launch, you’ll be releasing your lanterns left, right, and centre, positively reeling with the simplicity of it all! And believe me when you see your beautiful lantern rising gracefully into the skies, your very own personal light display, you’ll realize how worth it the whole thing really is.

The first thing to do when you receive your Wish Lantern through the post, is to unwrap the plastic packaging very carefully. A lot of people rip into the plastic covering and inadvertently tear part of the lantern body. This must be avoided at all costs! The next thing to do is to carefully remove the tissue paper protecting the fuel cell- again handle with care.

Once these two steps have been completed. You will need to hold the lantern upright and fan out the rice paper so that the air gets through your lantern and it looks as it would once lit. When you’re satisfied that the lantern is resembling a tulip shape and that none of the paper is touching the fuel cell, you can light your lantern. Some people prefer to do this in a pair with one person holding the body of the lantern, while another lights all four corners of the cell, but this can be done single-handedly as well.

When the fuel cell is fully alight and roaring with flames, wait. Yes wait. This is crucial. The lantern must fully inflate before you release it, or either it may rise incredibly slowly, or worse, not rise at all! You’ll know its fully inflated the same way you’ll know when to stop puffing into a balloon. You’ll see the body expand and feel the hot air straining inside. Then release. 

If you follow these steps you will have a guaranteed successful launch. All you need to do now is get on the website and order your lantern today.

It came as a welcome surprise to the Wish Lantern team that through the post came flooding a bout of letters from pupils at Littlehampton Community School, which all sang their praises, declaring enthusiastically and passionately how highly they regard the wish lantern business. They had been instructed by their teacher (and recent wish lantern customer)- a Mr Colin Langdon- to state why they each felt that the business was a successful one. This was clearly an exercise in recognising good business practice for these aspiring young students, but nevertheless it was encouraging to receive such an onslaught of unflinching positivity.

What each student, almost without exception, picked up on, was the keen attention and dedication to customer care. It is without question one of the most important elements of any business. To genuinely care or at the very least be seen to put the customer first is essential for attracting a loyal following in the first place. These days, the public are demanding more and more from the services they call upon, and are certainly not willing to throw money at something that refuses to meet their specific requirements. This is another reason why the wish lantern website stands out above and beyond other similar websites, It is willing to improvise to satisfy each individual customer. This is certainly not common practice amognst other companies (though it should be).

Hand in hand with customer care, is clear communication. The website is clear to navigate, and offers detailed pictures of the product in question. Viewers can see the wishlantern from all angles, both packaged, open, and in mid-flight, so that they know exactly what they are buying. With all this under their belts, it’s no wonder the wish lantern team were so highly praised.

Andre Savoie asked:


If you’re looking for a great way to enhance the exterior of your home or commercial building, look no further: gas lamps are the perfect way to enhance your exterior while providing a functional light source.

The many styles of gas lamps can all be powered by electricity, propane, or gas and displayed in a variety of ways:

Standing Alone: Lanterns of all styles can be mounted on a post or column and positioned wherever you like. On a Wall: Lanterns can also be mounted directly onto an exterior wall using bracket mounts to light the areas closest to your home or office. With a Bracket: More elaborate brackets can be used to hang the lantern off of the wall in a more decorative manner, ideal for party and gathering areas such as a patio or deck. Hanging: Suspend your lantern over a doorway of entryway for a unique alternative to electric lighting fixtures.

Which Style is Best Suited to Your Needs? 



With all of these options available, you may be uncertain which style or mounting option is right for you.

Exterior Walls: Brackets are the ideal way to attach a lantern to an exterior wall, providing adequate light in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Entryways: Hanging is the best way of lighting an entryway. There are many different ways to hang a lantern, and nearly all styles of lanterns are able to be fitted with the appropriate facets to be suspended. Monte Carlo Style lanterns look particularly lovely over an entryway. Driveways or Walkways: Post mounted lanterns, particularly the French Quarter style due to the light-emanating nature of their tops, are ideal for lighting a path such as a driveway or walkway. Indoors: The best lantern choice for indoors is an electric lantern, however gas and propane powered lanterns can also be a great choice if positioned safely. Gas or Electric: While gas lanterns provide a unique look, in some cases electric power is simply more feasible. One of the advantages of French Quarter style lanterns is that every style can be fitted to function with natural gas, propane, or electricity.

MCF asked:


What size washer/gasket should I get to replace the one that is used in a Coleman-type propane lantern? It’s the gasket that is up inside the part of the lantern that screws onto a small propane fuel bottle. I’ve measured an old, worn out one as 22 mm outside diameter, 10 mm inside diameter. This must be a universal standard. Is there a website that gives an authoritative answer to this question?

Chow Siew asked:


The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival and the Chinese Lantern Festival, is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. This usually occurs around late September or early October when the moon is supposedly at its fullest and roundest.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is the most important festival in the Chinese calendar, apart from the Chinese New Year and Winter Solstice (also known as Dongzhi Festival), and is a national holiday in some countries.

Traditionally, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season on this date. Chinese family members and friends gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and enjoy moon cakes and pomelos together.

Overthrow of Mongolian rule

According to Chinese folklore, the Moon Festival commemorates an uprising in China against the Mongolian rulers of the Yuan Dynasty (1280-1368) in the 14th century. Group gatherings were forbidden by the Mongolian rulers and it was impossible to orchestrate a rebellion.

As the Mongolians did not partake in the eating of moon cakes, the rebel leaders came up with the idea of timing the rebellion to coincide with the Moon Festival. They distributed thousands of moon cakes to the Chinese residents in the city and cleverly inserted inside each moon cake a piece of paper with the message: “Kill the Mongolians on the 15th day of the 8th month.”

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the rebels successfully attacked and overthrew the Mongolian government. Following the overthrow of the Mongolian government was the establishment of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). As a result of the successful rebellion, the Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated with moon cakes on a national level.

Mid-Autumn Festival in London

Gerrard Street was the main focal point of the Moon Festival in London and Chinatown was lit up by thousands of orange paper lanterns to mark the occasion. Thousands of local Chinese and visitors from all over the world were there to participate in the anxiously awaited annual event. Many children were wearing the traditional bright coloured Chinese costumes and they look pretty in them.

This event was organised by the London Chinatown Chinese Association and was held on Sunday, 11th October, a week later than usual, to coincide with the London Restaurant Festival (8th - 13th October 2009).

An outdoor stage was setup on Macclesfield Street, facing Gerrard Street. The opening ceremony started at 1.00pm with the ever-popular lion dance.

The afternoon’s performances were a mixture of traditional and modern entertainment including a lion dance, martial arts, Chinese traditional music, hip-hop dance and Hong Kong Canto-Pop.

Gifts were distributed to those who participated in quizzes or were brave enough to go on stage to give a performance. There were also food tasting, candy and noodle-making classes and even a Chopsticks Challenge.

28 Chinatown restaurants participated in the London Restaurant Festival and offered mouth-watering special menus of Oriental cuisines at special prices.

Elsewhere Chinese community stores were set up to sell Chinese products and those selling paper lanterns and fans seemed to have done very well on the day.

And so did the lion who danced from one shop to another offering good fortune to the Chinese business community.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in London was clearly enjoyed by everyone. There was so much fun and laughter and even the drizzle near the end did not dampen the spirits of those who participated in this year’s event.

I am thinking of becoming a pilot in the future but I am not able to pass the dot pattern colourblindness tests. I understand I can do a farnsworth lantern test instead. How easy is it to pass, how is it done, and will employers see having to take this test as a weakness?
