How to read a sky-shot label
Shot count, duration, effect names and what the numbers mean in the sky.
Three sky-shot plans for three budgets
What ₹3,000, ₹7,500 and ₹15,000 buy in sky shots, and how to order them.
Most people buy sky shots one by one and light them in any order. A little planning makes the same money feel like a real show.
With ₹3,000, buy a box of whistling rockets to open, one 30-shot cake for the middle and one 12-shot to close. That is about five minutes, which suits a terrace.
With ₹7,500, start with rockets, then a gold rain fountain at the base while a 30-shot goes up. Fill with a box of crackling aerials, then a 60-shot, and finish with a peacock aerial. You get about twelve minutes, with no long gaps.
With ₹15,000, plan two acts. The first half uses smaller cakes and aerials while families gather. After a short pause, the second half builds through a 60-shot and a 120-shot to a crackling close. That is around twenty-five minutes.
Whatever the size, choose one person to light, keep watchers at least 15 metres back, and lay out the cakes in the order you will light them. We send a written firing order with every planned show.
