I fired up 37 lanterns last night and had them placed along my little lane from the county road and around my house and a bunch on the front porch. I started fueling and pumping them up a week ago and started firing them up about 4:30 pm and had them pretty much put out by 6:00. Sun sets her about 5:01 here. UPS guy delivered a package just before 6 so he got to see it and was in good cheer. Guy i work for said when he came over a ridge more than a mile from my place said it looked like a runway. He and his kids got a kick out of it. Several other people stopped by. Only 2 lanterns went out but the other was getting dim as I wasn't going to go around and pump them all up as they do not self pressurize like in warm weather. Started to bring them in about 8:30 and was done by 10. I still have lanterns scattered around the living room.
Did not get good photos and took a video but about all you see are dots of light and the vehicle I drive has head lights on all the time.
Do not know what I will do next year. Probably cap the lights at about 20
