FLOATING LANTERN

Float the lantern on the water

The floating lanterns are a common sight at major Asian lantern festivals. This year’s China Blue Lotus Lantern Festival featured numerous floating blue lotus lanterns, achieving a resounding success!

Our products are not only suitable for roads and grasslands, but also commonly displayed on water surfaces. We fill the water with our lanterns, creating reflections and ripples. This makes the scene more vivid,  romantic, and beautiful!

In many Asian countries celebrating water lantern festivals, people typically purchase small floating floral lanterns and release them into rivers during the event while silently making wishes. As the lanterns drift away with the current, it symbolizes the release of misfortune and worries, welcoming renewal and hope.

While small traditional floating lanterns focus on personal festive experiences, our floating water lanterns serve as stunning visual spectacles—the ideal attraction for scenic spots and event organizers to boost visitor engagement.The lanterns in the water can reflect bright colors. They also mix with the waves to create lively visuals. The fluctuation of the water surface makes the reflections constantly change, adding a sense of liveliness and interest. This effect makes the audience feel as if they are in a dreamy world, enjoying the interplay of light and shadow.

In some huge lantern festivals, the floating lanterns match the surroundings. This creates a romantic atmosphere. The floating Chinese lantern cast beautiful reflections on the water surface, forming symmetrical images, giving people a feeling of tranquility and charm. This design not only enhances the viewing experience but also provides excellent photo opportunities for tourists, becoming a popular check-in spot on social media.

How to build floating Chinese lantern

We usually recommend water exhibitions for venues that meet the conditions, as this method may be more popular among tourists, and can even be used for water shuttle by boat. We can pair lanterns with smoke and fountains to make the scene more romantic.

However, the most difficult part is how to build! FOREST PAINTING LANTERN has a different mode, you can use the float to carry the lantern, you can also use the steel frame to support!

Pairing with smoke and fountains, the Blue Lotus Lantern Festival in the scenic area becomes even more romantic, attracting tourists to stop and watch. The smoke effect can add a dreamlike atmosphere to the lantern festival, making visitors feel as if they are in a mysterious fairyland. Smoke machines can improve the visual effect. They make the lantern floats on the water look more charming in the swirling smoke. This also creates a great background for tourists to take photos and remember the moment.

Of course, the addition of such equipment, while enhancing the experience, also poses a great challenge to our construction. We need to consider the stability, safety, and harmony of the equipment with the surrounding environment. Additionally, we need to precisely control the effects of smoke and fountains to ensure they blend perfectly with the lantern display.

In this project, we utilize a substantial array of smoke-generating equipment in conjunction with lanterns to create a mesmerizing ambiance. Given the significant distance, ranging from tens of meters, between the water and the shoreline, a waterproof FRP distribution cabinet is imperative. This cabinet must be equipped with a time control switch to facilitate precise timing and management of the effects. Additionally, considering the extensive use of equipment, a robust power load capacity is essential to ensure the seamless operation of the installation.

Despite this, we are happy to accept these challenges because they make our exhibitions more unique and unforgettable. By continuously exploring and innovating, we are committed to providing customers with more exciting and challenging exhibition experiences.
