The Weco £6 Cyber Pack contains Cat 3 25M fountains, tiny things, or "pretties" as they are known I'll shall fire these at about 5M.

Good on you! do so at 5m and you will find there's NO risk because of their tameness and size.

Not sure if anyone has verified it yet- but the Lidl 2 for £12 are indeed mix & matchable.

Well there's a degree of common sense required, as in all things. I'm not going to simply blindly follow the printed letter. Case in point, the small fountain below, the one the size of a packet of Polo's, this is a "Display Firework" (run!!! ) It clearly states spectators should be at least 25m away, I'll fire this at about 5m. The huge 9 barrel Kimbolton fountain behind is a Garden Firework with the 5m recommendation. I shall fire this at 10m 'ish to see the effect better. Just use your noggin TBH.

I told you small fireworks labelled 25m don't always pose a risk at less than that;but no Tappy and Thommo think you should heed it at all times even on small stuff like that fountain! Stuff like Cyberbox is crap at 25m.

Same here, they're great aren't they

This looks quite good in the Cyber Pack, Weco Quattro 4 Colour Fountain, weighs in at 90g, approaching 1/4lb of powder in old money :

(let me know if the pics are too big guys)

Everybody should ignore "AnthonyUK" with regards to 25M fireworks, please for spectators safety adhere to manufacturers instructions at all times.

Are you sure the firework is not weighted in the bottom?
