These Biodegradable Sky Lanterns are a great way to make any occasion a real celebration. Unlike conventional lanterns, these are constructed from biodegradable and sustainable parts, helping them to pose no hazard to farm animals or wildlife and be eco-friendly.

The Biodegradable Sky Lanterns, known as Sky Orbs, allow you to enjoy chinese lanterns without any worries over the environmental impact. We here at Envirogadget love a good party, be it new years, a wedding, an engagement, or just a good get together, and seeing chinese lanterns fill the night sky or helping to release one and watching it rise into the heavens is a wonderful experience that we and many others enjoy. With many lanterns there is a great risk to animals, due to the metal parts within them, that can lead to many deaths of wildlife and farm animals. These lanterns use no metal in their construction and all of the lantern will biodegrade safely.

The Sky Orbs are constructed from rice paper, flame resistant wool, and an eco-friendly pre-attached fuel cell that’s easy to light and non-drip. The fuel cell is made from the wax of discarded Buddhist temple candles and is a larger fuel cell than other similar lanterns. The lanterns come with full instructions including photos to help you release them without any hassle, letting them float out of your hands and up to the sky. The lanterns burn for 12 minutes, and can travel up to 2 miles in that time. The packaging is recyclable.

The Biodegradable Sky Lanterns are available in 3 colours and 3 different shapes. They can be in blue, which traditionally in Asia represents immortality and peace, orange, which is used as a sacred colour, for concentration, purpose and general success, or in red, which is traditionally used for celebrations, representing good luck and used to signify joy and happiness.  Each colour is available in either cylinder, diamond or oval shape. The Sky Orbs are a great way to make a celebration or event special, without any worries over the environment.

The Biodegradable Sky Lanterns are just £2.99 each.

We’ve all seen the rather bland solar-powered lights for the garden. Usually a black or silver post with a faint glowing LED light mounted at the top. If you fancy something that looks far more attractive, then the Frosted Scroll Solar-Powered Lantern might be of interest. The lanterns have an internal battery that’s charged via the solar panel, giving you a maximum of 8 hours of bright white glow per charge.

Rather than coming on automatically, these lanterns have an on/off switch, which means you can turn them on when you want them on. Perfect as a wind-resistant alternative to candles for a romantic evening dinner outside. The scroll-effect frosted windows and the antique-style appearance give the lantern a touch of elegance to solar-powered lighting.

The lanterns measure 10cm (w) x 22.5cm (h) and come as a pack of 2 for £29.99. At the time of writing, the lanterns are available at a special offer price of £24.99.
