Buy fireworks; best selection at the cheapest
prices. Fireworks for all occasions, all-year round. Top choices from your
top online supplier at prices you'll find hard to beat.
When buying fireworks from a website, it is not easy to judge the
actual size from the pictures and descriptions.
This is due to the constraints of web page
design. If the pictures were to scale then some would be too
small to be of practical value, while others would be so large
that page download times would suffer.
Many of the larger fireworks are seldom
seen in retail shops so you may have no preconception of how
big they are. To assist your choice of fireworks, this page is
intended to give some idea of the relative sizes by giving examples
of actual dimensions with a scale rule and box of Swan Vestas
for comparison.

Other factors: the size of the
fireworks is not an absolute measure of the scale of the effects
which it produces, although it is a good general principle to
follow. You should also look in the description - especially
with cakes, candles and single-ignitions - for details of the
tube calibres, and for the number of tubes in a battery.
