Firework Lighters

Thanks! Looks similar to last years selection. Was hoping that they would have some sort of cathrine wheel pack back like they did a couple of years ago, they were really good, think they were called space dust and at 2 for £5 were good value! Seems that you cant get cathrine wheels anywere these days unless visiting a proper firework retailer which is a shame.

Also, wonder what these 'firework lighters' are? portfires??

I think the firework lighters will be the usual stick type slow burning lighters that every pack and selection box contains;don't think they'll be portfires:(

Yeah probably wishful thinking! ha

Just seems strange how it appears on the list when these are usually included in packs. Wouldnt pay a penny for those useless stick things they include if they are trying to sell those, useless! :rotfl:

The lighters would probably be sold in packs of 5 like brightstar's thick safety lighters are:)

If I had a supermarket chain and sold fireworks;I would sell packs of portfires at 20 for a fiver so people can easily set off their fireworks with something that actually lights fuses than something useless that needs constant relighting:j

Great to see videos for all of their fireworks including selection boxes which we dont usually see

would be interesting to see if this works for or against them though. Got to admit they all look ok in the videos, rockets look a bit 'too good' though!
