Are these the original sky lanterns? And are the fire retardant?

I don't know what you mean by original?? They will catch on fire if you don't use them right. For the price they are a good deal, but they are not the best.

Yes they are, I use them for my salt lamp, although the first one only lasted an hour otherwise ok.

We ordered these lighters to use at our wedding reception to light sky lanterns. It was raining outside so we never used them but I'm assuming they were all filled with lighter fluid.

I don't think they are. Actually, I highly doubt it. I've used them in regular light fixtures and have been very pleased with them. Their output is high, although I haven't measured it in lumens. Color balanced seems spot on, compared to natural daylight. I put them in a softbox and they work quite well. Regards, Steve

Don't get them. They won't light or fly. I ordered 30 white sky lanterns. I got 4 white all the rest multicolored. Only one white flew. I've gotten other sky lanterns that worked great. DO NOT GET THESE

Purchase the ones by brand Sky Lantern. I ordered the ones shown in the pic and they were awful. The shape is a little different and so is the part you light. I ordered ten and some of them were torn. The first one went into my garden and set it on fire. I even gave it another shot. The second one took off but we also watched it come down quite a distance away. They took almost two minutes to take off and seemed dangerous. The Sky Lantern brand lanterns will start tugging away in less than a minute. They are biodegradable and easy to light. Hope this helps!

No, they are resin. The set of lamps I received was also much darker than depicted in the photo. They are very nice and the perfect fit for the comfy cabin Adirondack kind of décor. The pinecone finial and pull are adorable.

I had the same issue. We used a long candle lighter to light them. We only used two lanterns out of the 50. I sent the others back for a refund. They are cheaply made. Both lanterns tore during assembly and took forever to get off the ground once we were finally able to light them. Do yourself a favor and get your money back.

Not sure what brand they are, but they do have the wax block that you attach to the wiring and light it. I've bought lanterns in the past where the block is already attached and I liked those more than these, but this order has worked just fine.

I am sorry I cannot answer that honestly. I have never had an issue with them but I never have a lamp touching them or fire near them. Sorry

Hello, Thank you for your inquiry! The sky lanterns are meant to fly, they can not be used like lamps. They should also not be anchored down once they are lit that can become a fire hazard. I would recommend using a basic round paper lantern if you would like to use it for decorations, those will work out better. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions, we would be happy to assist you. Customer Service RepresentativeJust Artifacts1-866-620-8328

Also note that Tom Glander wrote he lit them with a torch. They were very hard to get to light with just a standard lighter. It was somewhat windy the day we tried to use them but I really felt they were unsafe to let go because the fuel cell was large and burned for a long time. We did not let ours go because we were that concerned about starting a fire somewhere as the flames were too close to the paper of the lantern. I have used some before that had a flatter fuel cell that was already attached and was much safer.

They are. I have mine outside and they do fine. Not very bright as the moment though, but I'm in Oregon where it gets dark so early. They were a bit brighter when I first got them, earlier in the year, and I expect them to do very well this summer.

They don't look to be. They are just plastic tips with a light that's interconnected to all of them. Not individual lights. Though, they're verrry pretty in the day & then make a nice soft nightlight

Yes they are. They have been burning on my deck for 1-1:2 years now. They outline the bannister railing that surround my deck. A timer turns them on at 6 PM and off at 10:30 PM, except for Friday and Saturday nights when they go off at midnight. Not one section our LED lamp has burn out. A must buy. Cut them to length is a bonus.

I have no idea!! No sticker was sent with the lights. Don't buy these unless you want a possible fire from these things. Beware!!

They are flame retardant so they are fire marshal acceptable! I even briefly used a few on my windows until I was able to get fire retardant spray for my curtains.
