Planning a family Deepavali by budget
What ₹2,500, ₹5,000 and ₹8,000 buy, and how to spread it over the evening.
Count, burn time and noise: decoding the label
Count, burn time and noise: what the small print on the box tells you.
Every box we sell has the same few facts printed on it, and knowing how to read them helps you plan a family evening.
The count tells you how many pieces are inside: “box of 10” for sparklers and flower pots, “box of 5” for bigger fountains. For sky shots, the number is the shots, so a 12-shot fires twelve times from one piece. The burn time is in seconds for sparklers and fountains, and in minutes for bigger shots.
The height is how high the effect goes, which matters on a balcony or a narrow street. A small flower pot reaches about 1.5 m; our deluxe gold reaches 3 m. The noise level is marked as “soft”, “crackling” or “loud”. For families with babies, pets or older relatives, stick to soft and crackling.
Reduced-emission green crackers say so plainly on the box. Finally, look for the safety line: the distance to stand back and the age advice. If a box has none of this, do not buy it, from us or anyone else.
