Common throughout the whole of Asia and particularly in countries like Japan, China or Thailand, and throughout the world, paper lanterns are definitely an attractive product. With their incredible diversity of shapes - accordion, star-shaped, egg-shaped, round or square - paper lanterns maintain their popularity among numerous customers. Extraordinary colours define paper lanterns, turning any event into a memorable occasion. Battery-operated paper lanterns differ from traditional paper lanterns in that the candle is replaced by a bulb. These items are available for sale, often with a spare light bulb thrown into the package.
