2
Insert the balloon light into the deflated latex balloon.
3
Inflate the balloon with either air or helium then tie the balloon to prevent the air or gas from escaping.
4
Let the balloon light drop into the neck of the balloon (normally gravity ensures the light falls the correct way up) and use the supplied cable to secure the light.
5
Cut the excess from the cable tie (optional but looks better.)
6
Twist the base of the balloon light until it begins to flash or continue twisting until the light becomes static.
7
Finally, place the balloon wherever you need it.
8
Finished.

Edit Tips

Use your imagination using the seven colours available to get your desired effect.
The darker the surroundings, the better the effect will be.
Use semi transparent latex balloons so the light can shine out.
Do not use foil balloons.
Ideal for weddings, birthdays, corporate events and any other event or special special occasion.
Set the light to flashing mode if you want the light to last more that 10-12 hours.
You can use the lights in table decorations to enhance your centrepieces.
Use 12-14 inch balloons when using helium for air time of over 14 hours.

Edit Warnings

These balloon lights contain small parts so supervision around children is necessary.

Edit Things You'll Need

Latex semi-transparent balloon (12" or over if using helium)
Helium / air
Balloon Light with supplied cable tie
Optional ribbon (to stop the balloon floating away)
