contact@thegreenhead.com (Michael Kiely) — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 03:03:27 -0500

Not only does the bright LED generate no heat which makes it much safer than paper surrounding fire, it can also last around a hundred hours on the two provided batteries. The Balloon Lamps are wireless and portable so they can be hung up all around your home or yard and if you purchased thousands of them, you could have one incredibly illuminated balloon drop on New Year's Eve!
