A Roman candle is a classic firework that fires a series of colorful stars or effects one at a time from a long tube—like a slow-motion skywriter. Here's the quick scoop:
• Effect Style: Shoots individual balls of fire, stars, or crackling bursts in timed intervals. Some include whistles, tails, or small reports.
• Performance: Typically 5–10 shots per candle, spaced out for a rhythmic display.
• Visual Impact: Effects travel 30–100 feet into the air, depending on size—great for layering into a show or adding variety.
• Use Case: Popular for handheld use in professional settings (though not recommended for consumers), or mounted securely for safe ground-based firing.
