Paper Lantern Related:

1. Do the lanterns come with lights?

We don't sell lighting with our lanterns at this time. In many cases the lanterns look beautiful with out lights. You can also insert lights, preferably ones that don't get hot, on your own. Many customers say they either used led lights or they used Christmas lights. (See #2)

2. How do you string the lanterns?

If you want to use paper lanterns with lights the best way to string them is to use Christmas lights. The light strings that are used for most Christmas trees often work well. Fishing wire is also frequently used for hanging the lanterns. Lanterns come with a metal bar that goes inside the lantern and hold them open. The top of this bar has a hook that is designed to allow you to hook the lantern to a wire. Hook the lantern down on the wire, bend the hook down and then secure the lantern in place by either using tape or zip ties (Tape works for fishing wire, zip ties are best when using Christmas Lights).

3. Your sold out of the lanterns I want, when will you get more in?

We receive new inventory quite often. If something you would like to order is out of stock, we may still have a few in our warehouse or at our retail location. New items are often listed as out of stock while we work out how many items we have in our inventory and configure the correct pricing on our website. For more information send an email to info@jadetime.com

4. We are looking for lanterns that fly in the air.  Do you carry those lanterns?

Answer: At this time we do not carry sky lanterns.  They are unsafe and illegal in many states.  Sky lanterns are known for causing fires if they land on houses and/or in forests.  As a socially conscious company, Jadetime.com does not knowingly carry products that many cause danger to its users, innocent bystanders, and/or our community and environment.
