Fireworks are Great!
Get Energy and feel great at Guy Fawkes, at Diwali, and keep some locked in a tin for maybe an ocassion? There is a mid sized display that is not seen much. This has to be lit by a certified pyrotechnician that has organised with a few departments,police, fire department and even air space control at times though not usually when mid sized fireworks are used. With these mid sized displays, many more than supposed can have a display for a wedding a 21st or even an 80th Birthday.Of course cultural days are good with these mid sized displays too. If you have even a smidgen of interest then please contact people sooner than later. There is a bit of normal red tape involved.Let there be Sparkles,Let there be Light,Let there be Thunder.Accept it rather than ban, that almighty fright.Let happy noise purify you,cleanse out the cotton wool.Make a burning fuse be slowly surely assuredly coming up to the SSshKaaapoooow!
I hope you are a nice person,that is about all you need to be.All the dangers and the care needed are pretty much easy to see.Area,age, experience and/guidance,dryness of surroundings,instructions to read.Maybe try some on your own beforehand,new things come out all the time.Do not get too many people around you,and do not seat them near or far.Have people able to be freely able to move.They can even wear cottons and safety glasses.
By the Way.For people in New Zealand coming to our Hobson Street Branch during the Four Days of Guy Fawkes being 2nd Nov until and including the 5th of November, we often have special parking at Holders Automotive ph 3070510 to check when he has room.Why not go back there after Guy Fawkes and get a service?We may make it Koha.That means that you can give a little if you can afford it.Sorry, but this year there may be no parking at Holders. Maybe offer an amount directly to him for parking?Sorry that we cannot afford it this year.
For Special Big events like weddings then you should text details to 0272890596 Otherwise come and get your retail fireworks from Us at Wah Lee?Pyrotechnicians can text the 0272890596 number for storage or pyro firework requirements also.
Some thing that I have seen is that you are not necessarily safe at a display.
I would advise against getting a front row view.Not only is the action actually up in the air, but time again I have seen some near misses.
Be like a good Pyro and read the wind too.Do not be downwind of explosive pyrotechnics,no no.
Not only ash and smoke, but much worse could come your way.Wind, rather than rain will stop a show.
Now some tips for use of that excellent firework called a cake....
There is a firework called a "Cake".It is so marvellous that we have the privilege to buy these.Please do not get into trouble with these most marvellous fireworks.They have considerable power, and with many people funnelled into parks away from Beaches by well meaning councils, you lose the ability to be able to bury them on each side down into the sand.do not put these on uneven grass in parks to light.Take a board along at the very least.It would be better to glue your cake to this, or have spikes in the board to poke the cake into.I personally have never done this and some spike systems are just not very secure or strong enough.I would say a system where the cake is held tight like in a vice,maybe between rocks or concrete blocks is very good.But also,my brother's family have a tin.Around the cake,they put things beside it in the tin to give support.Have water handy, for if you do not have superior fireworks on you, or even if other people are not sure about how their firework is going, you could douse the firework to be sure.Leave it alone for quite a while as fireworks have been known to smoulder until they then go off.If without any system of holding your cake, then check maybe that your cake is quite heavy.This has to be some clay to weigh it down as 40g is the maximum amount of gunpowder allowed in any firework.This is good though, and then you just have to make sure that your cake is placed on a flat surface.Do not put onto uneven grass,and certainly do not hold in hand.
Do not hold Candles (Roman candles) in your hand either.These should be dug deep into earth or have a can with rocks to keep the candles at the right angle,even as it shoots out powerful balls.We even have proper pyrotechnic Fibreglass tubes available for you to light the candles in.But these tubes, also called mortar tubes, need to be fixed, or dug into the ground,or tightly fixed into a frame.
A torch is indispensible.You need to see what you are doing, and a person with another torch could be in charge of your stockpile too.
Wah Lee 2012 Fireworks Product List For General Public.
Not all products will be available,as some could possibly sell out .
BC 290 #8 Big Cone Spray.Goes quite High.Not noisy.Quite attractive.Kids would not be scared by it, and a couple of these could add ballast to a night which will have a finale of big explosive works.
BC516 100Shots Pack Roman candle.Nice bright colours.The pack will give a 100 shots, but each stick has one colour and it has twenty of them.Not explosive, but just good true colours.Some light, some coming on strong.Very sensitive to needs. It may be available again in 2012?
0947 Big Colourful wheel.Not many available.Very hard to manufacture properly.May be unavailable.
K3306 Bird in Cage. A hanging Spinner.Opens up into a souvenir.
BC513 Black Cat Roman Candles 10 balls.A very well made standard many colour balls without explosions Roman candle.You should still not hold this in your hand but we suggest use of our fibreglass tube as long as it is itself anchored deep in soil or sand,or in anything else to fix it.
Cake Pack Asylum Packs.A huge number of cakes exclusive to this pack.
This can be sold out early.Quite heavy to carry,so I am just warning you.The cakes are quite light in weight with not enough ballast to keep them from falling over, so you will have to organise a way to shore these up.Ways used have been to surround each cake with concrete blocks on each or two sides.
Another way is to put them into a 4 gallon can with a cut top and one which has not had any flammable solvents or such during its life,but maybe one that had food.Around the cake, put some big stones or bricks to stop them falling over under the force of the display.
You could get some boards and glue the bottom of the cake to the board with PVA glue.It is not flammable with heat.
Sometimes there are spike or small plastic holders supplied with the cakes.I would say that these are not always up to the task.I would not put my faith into these personally.
I would politely leave the party if cakes were going to be put onto grass that makes for an uneven base.No, do not light cakes on grassy fields unless you have a can or bricks, or boards.Heavy cakes may work on flat areas of soil.Light ones should have something heavy around them to stop them falling over nd aiming at you or loved ones.
BBSC3 Freaky Friday 8 Shot with Whistle.Thank the Gods of Fireworks testing that have deigned to pass this little beauty. Not that it is little, nor is its effect on your feelings going to be anything less than something to do with a profound and utter feeling of satisfaction.Or was it just me?
BBFC3 Cake Meltdown 6 shot Orange Star Burst with Green Tail.Not sure if this will be available?
T2508 News Transmitters more truthful than stories of economic meltdown or tell tales lies of mass destruction possibilities of innocent pawns in the way of some selfish plan of nonsense nations(Bless them).Screams out information faster than online tweets.
BBSC1 Cake Raging Inferno.8 Shot Orange Star Burst with a Green Tail.Goes high and has loud explosions.Big Bang Bouquet.
6002 Ring Of Pirates. Just exquisite.Be sure not to miss out.A Good Finale Cake.
Covers the sky in its final triple burst.
Do not put your head above cakes when lighting, and watch your assistant's head too.
Keep other fireworks away from firing area, and keep lighting sticks like incense sticks away from the box of fireworks too.You could have someone there with a torch too.They can help by reading out names of fireworks to come as well as any instructions that might be relevant.
BBSC2 Cake Tick Tock 8 Shot Purple Star Burst.Very powerful and likely to set off car alarms all around.
Cake Pyro Pink Flamingo. Always a great contrast to the colours of the night.
Still explosive.
W702 Cock Crowing at Dawn. Shoots some colours and screams.A Hoot.
BC 6038 Colour Pearl 48 Shots.Affordable Magic.No great frights.Pure delight.Yet gunpowder used is top knotch,and this is a great example of Black Cat Brand quality.Compare this to other colour pearl 48 shots and see that the difference is not subtle.Safer to have around too, as they do not have unstable mixtures in their chemical composition.
Lovely colours,pure and bright.For me and a young daughter.
It does finish with a great flourish.
0860 Black Cat Colour smoke balls.You can see that compared to other brands, these have more powerful jets of smoke, and their colours are brighter.Great for using during daylight or dusk so that some children can get to bed earlier.I am sure their imagination will go wild with these.
BC 213 Flashing Strobe Signals.These are far too bright to look at, but you will have wonderful strobe like shadows cast around as you may like to dance.May get again, or the Magnum Flashers.
W625 Flower Pagoda.Has spinners on three sides,all lit with the one wick.They spin violently making the firework almost levitate.These may be impossible to get in the future.Be in the now.
FC301 Fujiyama Cone.A controlled yet wildly powerful spray comes from this firework that even finds its way into organised firework displays.Crackling loud and silver stars fountain.The Black Cat Silver Glitter is very good too and it is cheaper.
BC504 Handful candles.The Reasonable price and slim design of these candles belie that incredible Black Cat Quality you like to expect at your Fireworks Do.Comprised of Four Candles...Mystical Candle has a range of effects that is quite inspired as it is made by some of the modern masters of pyrotechnic design and incorporates understanding of a little explosive spice,a little timely and stirring whistle, as well as highly radiant colours from a choice mix of best and pure chemicals.
Then there is Blue Blaster, for some may just want action and a beautiful colour that needs to be repeated for making that artistic statement in the sky.
A Spitfire candle is included which is a noisy crackling repeated ejection of a more golden coloured aerial display.
The fourth member of this group is the Rainbow Repeater Candle.
BC 503 Kaleidoscope Kandle. Excellent for price and size.Has whistles, explosions, colour pearls, and especially,it has good timing.
Black Cat Cuckoo and Killer Bees are colourful sprays that have a spirited output for their size, and they have whistles that are loud.
The Shogun Oriole shooter is lovely, and may not be always available in future.Not explosive, but sends bird call whistling lights very high.
Black Cat Crackling candles and Shogun Crackling Comets are lovely and send densely sparkling and popping series of silvery lights repeatedly up high.
Shogun Magnolia and White Spider candles are very popular because they are rather satisfying for those that can handle presence.
Their presence will certainly be noted, not only by sound, but also by their display that is explosive in appearance and white.
The Hatfield and McCoy Fountains are quite spirited and the fireworks are made to look as hilariously small minded and mean as they sound.
RIDICULOUS-CHUCKLE-SANDPAPER-BE
The Magnum fountains by Black Cat were quietly described to me by a tester of fireworks as quite possibly the best fireworks he had seen.
Well some fireworks we get in that will not be on this list , and some on this list may have sold out before you get in.
No, I am not too much into displays, but I just love a personal meditation that uses fireworks and their immediacy and need for care, to inspire.

Display Fireworks from 500g cakes of Black Cat,and Robert Foti Tubes and Star Shells.
His Tubes are Fibreglass in a yellow colour so are more easily seen at night,are reusable, and are very light to carry.
His electric igniters are designed to be reliability paramount.
The Black Cat Cakes lend themselves to use in restricted area and lower budget applications, but do be surprised by their power and exquisite pre displays,
also the colour is brighter because of selection of high grade gunpowder and chemicals.Reliability of firing is to be expected of course too.
- Here is a link to a site talking of the superiority of Fibreglass Mortars.
- The Mortars Sold by Wah Lee are even Stronger than the ones Pictured here.And in particular, there is an extra ring of Fibreglass around the top Rim.There is a lot of BS about other's ones.I would not touch Steel ones, if they explode then Shrapnel would not be a pretty sight.These are more reusable than paper ones,and yet another one is super heavy and expensive.
PLEASE PLEASE ADD YOUR PIECE.

It's many years since I visited the excellent Wah Lee, mainly because parking is so awful around there but I see now there is a solution. This is a most fascinating shop and I advise anyone to go look, especially if you need unusualu and interesting gifts for Christmas or birthdays.

Some dogs can be quite vicious and their Barks can be loud and scary,but I would not ban them.Some dogs and cats like fireworks.Maybe some owners can control their pets and teach them peace.Certainly in competitions,a test is based around distractions at least.Loud and sudden noises are not only from Fireworks.Out of control firework parties would be scary to even people however.So please have some control over your Fireworks lighting.Not all fireworks are explosive also.So you can ask to choose Sane ones suited to your venue and level of nerves.The colours are amazing and there are still energizing thrills in quiet fireworks.( the explosive ones often go higher and have a bigger display of course).

Sparklers in New Zealand.You cannot buy a single packet since 2007.So a mother buying this needs to get special big pack with at least 3 other items, each with at least 15gms gunpowder in.
Also, just because they look like sparklers, Morning glories need to be bought in the same way.This was all introduced by David Benson Pope of Tennis ball in the mouth of unruly school kids infamy.He is now no longer in the MOE which is the department making rules about fireworks.
Years ago, when rockets were banned, they also banned buzzy bees and helicopter type fireworks at the same time.This is just lazy legislation by those whom have no real feeling for the management of dangerous things and their optimum availability.Buzzy bees never caused any of the problems asociated with rockets,and yet on the other hand were very satisfying and creative pyrotechnics within quite reasonable boundaries of the hoi polloy being able to handle them.Only one incident that was not disastrous was one that almost hovered up a lady's Sari.

For a couple of years, I used to work at a fireworks place, one of the biggest in Florida...for the Holidays...New Years and Fourth of July...I learned a lot about pyrotechnics. It gets in your blood.
There are a lot of people out there that truly love fireworks and would save up all year to buy then. Then have a great party for the neighbor hood.
THOSE same people would always be back, if they came in early...because they just could not resist letting some go, off, out into the night.
You are a great blogger, Monkeybrain.

wahlee says:
There are no bangers since 1989. My daughter asked if there ws much fuss seeing as I said that they were super popular. No there was not. But it shows how outrageous policies can come into effect even if against their super popularity. I think the techniques are to not get too strident in your criticism or fears. Do pick telling little tales and feed them often around the place. But also, the loss of Rockets and bangers has actually led to a far wider range of interesting fireworks, so things were not really that depressing for those that continued to be interested.

To make Wah Lees business viable, please support the dairies and superettes that normally help Wah Lees distribute Fireworks.
Visit them and give them a list of what you might want to buy over the shortened period of 4 days.Also get your parent's signature if you are under 18 years of age and show that they will come in to pick up and pay for the goods.You might also want to show good deeds or tasks you will do to get into your parent or guardian's good books.You could also show where you are going to light them and the shopkeeper could assess whether this is appropriate or not as thev parents may be learning about fireworks themselves.
It is hard work selling fireworks and this could be a solution.

Post links that may be technical, or of practical help to other readers please.
Also, I am sorry that the Pyro review link may not work.Actually, this because not everyone is allowed in there.With the forum they do not want anyone to post unsavory techniques.So you will have to go there the long way.Behave yourself, behave in what you write, and immerse yourself in a heaven of fireworks related topics.See you there maybe?

The Wah Lee Mortar Tubes
These start at two and a half inches diameter,then we have three inch diameter,and up to six inch diameter ones.
The two and a half inch ones and three inch diameter ones, we suggest that you should buy before Guy Fawkes.If into carpentry, then make a solid stand for them.This will be your launch platform for Roman candles.With one it will mean a good platform for setting them off, and a great model for others on how to light roman candles safely.No blown off fingers in case some still persist in the dangerous habit of holding roman candles that they light.
Also, on a creative streak.You could set up a few mortars.This way you could more easily time and multiply and design your now pyrotechnic display.
Now on a sideline, if your rack that holds these mortars is good and strong,a pyrotechnician could even use them to light starshells in.This is after all, what they were designed for.This could cut huge amounts off the cost of a display if you show them what you have made and they are approving of your handiwork.
Without a rack for your mortars, you could dig holes in the ground with your fibreglass mortar about three quarters submerged.As these are waterproof and brightly coloured yellow, this will be a safety feature as you almost always light most fireworks when the day light is gone.
Email barrywahlee@myspace.com to enquire about these fibreglass mortar tubes.They are empty and can be bought at any time of the year.
For enquiries from outside of Auckland or New Zealand, we would have to look into cartage costs and secure payment systems.
Black Cat Smoke Balls
Most Fireworks are Generic,some are generic with own house labels.
Black Cat Fireworks have a performance that is often superior to Generic Fireworks.You can see this dramatically in the Black Cat 48 shot Colour Pearls.
It looks far more stirring and colourful than generic 48 shot colour pearls .
Sadly, we cannot have throw downs in New Zealand because generic brands have seen them auto ignite and even factories that make them have exploded.A major reason why rockets are not allowed is because there was a spate of badly made rockets coming into the country.Some were even upside down and exploded rather than launch.
In the case of smoke balls, there is a reason why some can discount them so heavily.They are not going to be BLACK CAT BRAND.Black cat brand smoke balls have a brighter colour, and they shoot their display out with more vigour to a greater height.These are suitable for daytime/dusk time use too.So you can let some young ones see them if in case they have to go off to bed.It may be a way to ease pets into seeing fireworks as they have no explosions.
As with all things, fireworks or not, there is a safety aspect and always follow your intuition.For example, there is a minor initial flame or spark aspect to even smoke balls, so beware how you use them and still do not hold in the hand nor light them near flammable places, place that could catch alight that is.
Do not feel too proud not to look up any pyrotechnic terms.I am sure that search engines will help you there.
Fireworks information.
When you would like to try to learn about various terms that pyrotechnicians(firework show professionals)use.
- Black Cat Fireworks - New for 2009 - Black Cat Fireworks - The Best You Can Get
- New for 2009,but in New Zealand we can only be allowed a fraction of these.
For Pyrotechnicians you must show your Certificates and Only 40 foot container loads can be ordered for you.They have to be paid for before shipment, and ordered by Chinese New Year of any year, if delivery is to be made by any time that year.Preferably delivery is to be allowed when fireworks are ready for export.You must prove that you have appropriate storage facilities before the shipment can be commenced.
Similarly for retail, orders must be paid for before shipping,and orders for the same year must be made before Chinese New Year of the same year you need them delivered.You must also have an appropriate place to receive goods.

Black Cat Mortar tubes.
A very good strong base.
These were lit on a cleared out part of our city's main street .
The Diwali was being celebrated.
This was from the best Fireworks display I have seen and experienced.
It was quite close proximity,and the fireworks were lovely.
The Display was designed and lit by a Pyrotechnician called BJ.
Front part of Auckland City's Town Hall Clock Tower.
Our Black Cat Bangers are being set up ready to be lit.
Each year the Diwali festival gets bigger and bigger.
A Pity, because I really enjoyed the fireworks been done in this location.

A very long string.
Very loud bangers.

A good cross selection of Black Cat Cakes.
This size of firework is excellent.
The displays are big,
but there is less worry than in handling the big mortar fireworks.
Just have a very flat never uneven surface in which to place fireworks.
These were lit by port fire sticks.
Also, there should be very little, or no , wind blowing.
Wind is the worry, not rain.

There is firepower here, but there is also subtlety.
These cakes give a very good preset display.

Superlative HPP-9
Just Superb
Lovely to see these fabulous Fireworks.
See how clean these cakes are after having given a ferocious display.
No sign at all of even getting near catching alight,
and a 100% firing success rate.
This may not always be the case as there are many fireworks factories in China, in the world.This is the Black Cat range.I recommend them.I sell them.

Mortar Tubes for setting of Starshells.
From Robert Foti.
These are very strong, very reusable,very light, and can be seen in the dark unlike the other strong ones which are black in colour.
Get some training while you have had experience with retail Fireworks.
Can you imagine the future when Pyrotechnicians will never have had experience beyond their training?
I have seen a pyrotechnician put fireworks on an uneven surface before lighting!Get
some common sense.
Do a lot privately with common fireworks before getting into Display work.
A lot of people do not know that you can get Fireworks anytime in New Zealand with conditions if for cultural reasons.
See the EPA website for a list of test certifiers.The department has been changed tom EPA NZ.
You will, if accepted, have to pay about $200 plus GST and are expected to allow a few days or weeks before the event before asking.They may want to check out your venue.Also other things.You may have to contact your local police and firebrigade with your permit.Also neighbours should be informed.Also check out local stables or places with animals to give the a chance to organise themselves.
Even if you do have a Pyrotechnician's Licence,you often have to see the local Fire Brigade,Police,Air Space Controllers,and have a permit to light product,a permit sometimes from the venue.
I would suggest not undercharging for the show as all these costs mount up.
City councils should not plump for the cheapest quote.The dangers of price undercutting should be obvious.
So much more safety would come if all helpers were on a living wage rather than get called out once or twice a year as unpaid enthusiastic help.
There is also the not inconsiderable cost of specialist Fireworks Storage.
- Get some training.Make it a Hobby.Even do overseas courses later.
- After getting all your certificates, see me at the shop.

Robot Firework by Black Cat
Robot Firework in Still action.
Robot with more violent action
There are many sides to this Robot,it may just be getting some artificial intelligence.
Your Money's worth Yet?
This is made by Black Cat after all.
You can expect more from Black Cat.You can expect this performance and a half.
He will punch from the Left( light sabre punch) !
It (she?) will Punch from the Right!?
Extra Large California Candle by Black Cat.
Like a Sparkler.
This has a lovely look but do hold it so the wind will be blowing sparay away from you and others as well as dry or flammable things-including your other fireworks of course!
Mr Crazy Head
You will have to see him for yourself.
Just quietly,
there is some screaming,
and I think you should expect some eerie smoke.
You need room for him to dance,
but as he has no feet,
do not expect the River Dance.
Even so, there may have been some Guinness involved??
It could just be The Black Cat Magic.
The Hen
A generic old masterpiece.
Perhaps even a silly bit of nothing.
I do not know how your mind works.
As to mine, the eccentric pyrotechnician calls for time out on lethargic uncommunicative leaden goals.
Make eggs, wish you were hen.
Only smoke and burning balls will come out of this one.
There wont be a happy h end.
Smoking.
The Happy Hen.
The Value,not just of Fireworks,but of many things.
Is it money time or care well spent?
or do we have a feeling,
just as in an affair,
when life just seems to bloom again,
and you notice things.
Many who do not want to take time for home or children
may not be keen to see major creative displays either.
- Qi Gong awareness and energy
- For the start to live feeling.
Sorry sorry, I asked people to give me some stories,but had no guest book!
Here is your guestbook.Please relate your creative yet safe experiences.
I heard many great tales relating to firework nights whilst serving in our shop.Here is the place for you to relate them.Sorry for putting it right at the end of the Lens

- I love that you added some fireworks safety to the lens. There are so many children injured from their parents lack of supervision. I think you've done a wonderful job with this lens on a unique topic.

Videos from many places.
I would love to collect your experiences of danger in normal times.
The only trouble, and why I may not, is that ordinary things do get people rallying to ban them too.
An example I might have put forward of an opening danger is bangers,er, as in sausages.
A helper just about killed himself after he bit a piece off an organic hot delicious sausage the other day.
It happened that just after he had bitten the morsel,he had to sneeze! The piece of super hot deliciousness proved to be burning burning.Luckily he pulled it out himself.
Another reason,and a thing to look at.
Another reason is all about those grave diggers that like to put a dark cloud over things.
For many years, accidents have been amazingly avoided.Bad behaviour is not bad enough to be reported.
But now what is the worry,is the amount of garbage left behind.Now personally, I have waited the appropriate time
to see that Fireworks are not still live and then been with people whom have picked up every last piece.
So please do not leave rubbish around after Fireworks.
