does the wind effect the lantern

Yes it makes it harder to light and keep lit and they will travel off quickly it will not go straight up. I suggest waiting until there is no wind. They are beautiful to watch.

Yes , wind may affect the ability to light the lantern easily. But once the lantern is lit, light wind should not blow the fuel source out. Too much wind may affect the lantern's trajectory if you release the lantern in a fire hazard area that is something to be aware of.

Twist the base counterclockwise. It might be off the thread marks from the last time it was closed so look to see if the base is even with the rest of the lantern. Or the lantern base is twisted too tight from the person that put it on.

Ours lasted through one season of arts and crafts festivals. As to the wind, I don't know, we have not been in any high winds as of now.

It's an outdoor lantern. It is smaller than I expected, but no other issues

Hi it depends. I took some card board and covered it in foil. We can walk behind it after it was adjusted. On a windy day it goes off from time to time

I can't say that it would never respond to the movement of leaves on branches caused by the wind, but I have never had any of my motion detector lights come on because of the above circumstances and I have several surrounding my house and trees all around the house, if I "had" to say yes or no it would be no reaction to swaying trees.

yes, you have to put the wick on and wrap a wire around it. there are other lanterns that don't require that . . .

Unable to answer this question due to only occasional use of this lantern. So far I have not had to use this lantern for a long continuous period of time.

It has a small wind release. Very small. Not really noticeable. Doesn't do much to help with wind.

No. It only has a small hook centered on the bar so you can hang a lantern light from it.

No. 1st it's under powered. Any breeze can blow it away, unless there's no wind at all. 2nd it uses IR remote, which can be affected by sun shine easily.

Either way. I use mine as a lantern in my hand or free standing . I love it and have used it many times. Works really well.

Not sure but guessing not because light goes off when lantern is plugged in.

Hello, Thank you for your inquiry! The sky lanterns are meant to fly, they can not be used like lamps. They should also not be anchored down once they are lit that can become a fire hazard. I would recommend using a basic round paper lantern if you would like to use it for decorations, those will work out better. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions, we would be happy to assist you. Customer Service RepresentativeJust Artifacts1-866-620-8328

I deferred your question to my wife, who does the majority of our grilling. Her reply was that she has noticed no issues with the wind cooling the temperature and so far, we have not had an issue with the wind blowing out the flame, even without any type of wind screen.

I was concerned when my son launched some in town on a dry summer night. My concerns became less as I realized the sky lanterns we used were designed to burn out after about 4 minutes. Later experience allowed me to find they are not as flammable as folks think. The bottom line is that good judgment must be used to launch in a clear area; once they are up and clear of the trees, they will burn out and float the the earth. I suppose the do become litter but they do no fire harm at that point.

No. However it forms a closed solid unit upon assemblage.wind hasn't been able to blow it away.For me, it's OK.
