Run For Your Life
£11.00
MLE Pyrotechnics
41 secs

The ultimate big bore candle with triple effects - but let down by a very pregnant pause between shots. Check out the video clip.

Colour Waves
£8.00
Millennium
30 secs

A barrage of pretty coloured stars and no noise. A useful pretty filler, or component for a no bangs display.

Move over Blockbuster, this does the same thing for half the price. Thanks Men Shun and goodbye Blockbuster!

Bombette Buster
£8.00
MLE Pyrotechnics
36 secs

MLE's entry in the big bore candle market and a good mix of colour and crackles and another one cheaper than the Blockbuster - by a long way.

Dracular Candle

MLE Pyrotechnics
23 secs

That's what was on the label! Find out if this will get your blood racing or whether you'll be coffin with embarrassment (and other equally bad puns).

Shanghai 16mm
£1.35
Shellscape
25 secs

The price doesn't inspire confidence at just over a quid each (these are sold in bundles of six) but this one was surprisingly good for the small bore size!

Sky Flash 28mm
£7.55
Shellscape
55 secs

Shellscape's answer to the Blockbuster is an impressive 28mm candle - and cheaper too! We give several effects the UK Firework Review treatment. Price, effects and duration above shown as a rough guide.

Blockbuster
£12.00
Vulcan
30 secs

An old "BEST BUY", and a sad, sad day when this review was archived. But, the awesome Blockbuster from Vulcan is finally showing its age, as is our original review.

Bonanza
£7.99
Vulcan
25 secs

This is the "baby brother" of the blockbuster candle. Another old classic firework, now out of date and bettered by the competition.

Jewelled Barrage 360 Shot
£6.99
Fireworks International
32 secs

Nearly four hundred shots for seven quid obviously means they are going to be on the small side, but thanks to a rapid pace this pulls off a nice display.

Frightened Ducks With Abundant Wind
£7.00
Golden Lion
30 secs

Frightened Ducks With Abundant Wind proves popular and not just for the name, although I would pay £7 even if it was rubbish, just for a talking point before the display!
