Lancework: Pictures & messages in fireworks
 |
 A classic 'Goodnight' to end the show. |
 Welcome in the New Year |
 'Happy Birthday Amber' as built.. |
 . . . and in action |
Fireworks
which depict signs, symbols or logos, or which spell out names
or messages are known as lancework.
::
They are built
on a framework and use small fireworks called lances to spell
out the message in small, bright points of light.
Design and Build
Every piece of lancework is designed and built to order. It has
to be large, for visibility, and it is fairly fragile.
Use
When you receive the lancework it must be unpacked carefully,
and will have to be attached to two or more stout posts - nails
or cable ties will do.
There is a single fuse to light and the ignition will spread across the
lances, revealing the image as the lances catch light.
The lancework wll burn for about a minute before fading and dying.
Most users of course, have other fireworks at the same time as the lancework is burning to emphasise the message.
Standard lancework uses lettering about 30cm / 12" high
Estimate on a cost of £14 per letter + £22 delivery, e.g. 'GOODNIGHT' £148, 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' £204.Symbols, logos etc by quotation.
Use the 'contact-us' page to ask for an estimate on lancework.
