Roman Candles shoot flaming balls or stars into the sky, one at a time, with a pause between each shot. Each shooting star is visible as it leaves the tube and arcs through the night sky. In smaller Candles, these shooting stars burn out with colourful trails. Larger Candles create additional effects such as bursting flowers, flying fish & spinning bees. USAGE: Traditional Roman Candles such as the 5-Ball or 10-Ball are often used to lead off the aerial portion of a fireworks display. They're also great for adding time and firepower to your show at a minimal cost. Medium-sized Roman Candles can be put to similar use but are more impressive--containing larger stars and achieving greater heights. The largest Roman Candles can be used in the later stages of your display: they contain interesting effects and work especially well when inserted between single-shot Florals or Shells.
