How to Light Your Lantern the Right Way (Step by Step)

Planning to attend the Night Lights Event? 🌙 Here’s how to light your sky lantern like a total pro. Shane walks you step-by-step through the process so your lantern launches smoothly and looks picture-perfect in the night sky. ✨ Remember these 3 steps: Hold it LOW — After you light the fuel cell, keep your lantern right against the ground. This traps the hot air inside so it fills quickly and evenly. Wait for the GLOW — Be patient!
