No Lantern Left Behind

Eco Friendly

Lights Over America’s Sky Lanterns Are Eco Friendly To Both Land And Sea. 

Our Lanterns Are Made Of All Natural Products, Metal Free, And Also Flammable Liquid And Gas Free Materials. 

Lantern Materials; Rice Paper, A Bamboo Ring, Natural Fiber (hemp) String, And A Bee’s Wax Cake Fuel Cell.

Check Out Our Lantern Safety Policy.

Tracking & Cleanup

Clean Up; We have a “No Lantern Left Behind Policy”, where we have our cleanup team stationed out in the landing zone ready to collect every lantern as they begin to descend.

We track our lanterns flight with 4 Mavic 3T Enterprise Drones, so we know exactly where every lantern flies and lands. We hold a trial run before the event date to test and determine where the lanterns will land.
