Why Choose Our Floating Water Lanterns?
Professional Buoyancy Structure & Stability: Water lanterns must be stable, not just floating. We customize steel pontoon bases or high-density floating rafts based on the lantern’s weight. After strict buoyancy and counterweight calculations, we ensure the lanterns remain stable in outdoor winds and waves, preventing them from capsizing or drifting with the current.
IP68 Ultimate Waterproofing: Electrical safety is the bottom line. All Floating Lanterns undergo full sealing treatment. Internal wiring uses waterproof connectors, and light sources meet IP68 diving standards, equipped with leakage protection systems to guarantee absolute electrical safety during long-term submersion.
Reflection Aesthetics & Dual Visuals: Water lanterns possess a “Mirror Aesthetic” that land lanterns cannot match. We specifically enhance bottom lighting details during design to leverage water reflection. When night falls, the physical lantern and its reflection complement each other, creating a doubly impressive visual volume.
Eco-Friendly & Environmentally Adaptable: We deeply understand the sensitivity of aquatic ecology. All buoyancy materials and exterior coatings use eco-friendly, non-toxic materials that will not pollute the water source. Simultaneously, the structural design accounts for water level changes, adapting to the natural rise and fall of dry and wet seasons.
Core Application Scenarios for Water Floating Lanterns
1. Urban River & Lake Lighting
Scenario Description: Broad waters often become “black holes” in city nightscapes, lacking visual focus.
Application Solution: Install giant Floating Lotus Lanterns, Water Dragon Lanterns, or abstract light sculptures. These Large Water Floating Lanterns can instantly activate the dull water surface, becoming nighttime landmarks for urban waterfront parks.
2. Scenic Water Shows & Theme Parks
Scenario Description: Many scenic spots possess water resources but lack interactive night tour content.
Application Solution: Combine fountains and water screen projections with custom mechanical water lanterns (e.g., dynamic opening flowers). They serve as the core background for live water performances, providing visitors with an immersive Floating Lantern audio-visual feast.
3. Resort Pools & Commercial Waters
Scenario Description: High-end resorts or commercial centers need to enhance the festive atmosphere of their landscape pools.
Application Solution: Customize medium-sized Water Art Installations. Whether it is a floating swan, a glowing sphere, or a brand Logo, the light reflecting on the quiet water surface can significantly elevate the luxury and romantic atmosphere of the venue.
Manufacturing & Installation Process of Water Lanterns
Step 1: Buoyancy Calculation & Chassis Design:
(Key Step) Before manufacturing the lantern body, engineers first calculate the total weight, design a matching pontoon or floating raft chassis, and reserve anchoring points.
Step 2: Skeleton Rust Prevention & Waterproofing:
The steel frame undergoes thickened anti-corrosion and rust-proof coating treatment. All light strip interfaces and color-separation lines are double-sealed with glue to prevent moisture entry via capillary action.
Step 3: Onshore Assembly & Water Hoisting:
We first complete the assembly of the lantern group and the buoyancy chassis on the shore. Large cranes are then used to hoist the entire unit into the water, and boats tow it to the designated position.
Step 4: Underwater Anchoring & Cable Laying:
Divers or construction boats drop concrete anchor blocks to the riverbed and secure the lantern’s position via steel cables. Waterproof cables are laid along the riverbed or floating bridges to the onshore power distribution box.

Floating Water Lanterns FAQs
Have more questions? Feel free to contact us.
1. Are your "Floating Lanterns" the Sky Lanterns that fly in the air?
No. We specialize in Custom Large Water Project Lanterns (such as steel-structure lanterns floating on lakes, like giant lotuses or swans). We do not produce paper disposable Sky Lanterns or small candle wishing boats.
2. How are water lanterns fixed? Will they be washed away by the current?
Absolutely not. Based on the water flow velocity and wind force of the area, we design a professional underwater anchoring system. We connect the lantern chassis to heavy concrete anchor blocks on the riverbed using steel cables, acting like a ship’s anchor to ensure the lantern remains precisely positioned even in winds and waves.
3. Since it is an electrified product, is it safe to soak in water?
Very safe. We implement the strictest IP68 waterproof standards.
Low Voltage Supply: The underwater parts exclusively use 12V/24V safe voltage.
Leakage Protection: The onshore power distribution box is equipped with a high-sensitivity leakage circuit breaker. Even in the event of an extreme accident, the power will be cut off in milliseconds to protect aquatic life and personnel.
4. What happens if the water level rises or falls?
Our design possesses adaptive water level capability. Since the lantern group is fixed to a floating chassis, it naturally rises and falls with the water level, always staying afloat on the surface without being submerged by rising water or left hanging by receding water.
5. Do all water lanterns have to be lotus shapes?
Of course not. While the lotus is a classic theme, we can customize Floating Water Lanterns in any shape. From mythical dragons and sea monsters to modern artistic geometric forms, as long as it conforms to buoyancy principles, we can turn it into reality.
