This 49 shot pro barrage is a personal favourite and features heavily in our professional displays. China Star pairs red aerial bursts with white strobe effects. The strobe adds a flickering quality to the white light, creating contrast with the red and keeping the colour scheme focused throughout the display.
With an approximately 36-second duration, this firework is a useful choice for a distinct section within a longer show. If you enjoy a deliberate colour combination, China Star offers a clear alternative to a firework that cycles through many different colours.

We would choose China Star for a large garden celebration where you want a short, clearly defined red-and-white sequence. Consider it for a ruby anniversary, a celebration with a matching colour theme or a Bonfire Night programme that gives each firework its own moment.
For a longer display, place it between pieces with different palettes to make the change in colour more noticeable. Wait until darkness for the best contrast, and give guests advance notice that the effect includes flashing white light.
Use a clear outdoor firing area with firm, level ground. Spectators need to be at least 25 metres away; also check the product label for the required space around and beyond the firework.
Position the barrage upright and secure it using the method specified by the manufacturer. Make sure its main fuse is accessible, removing only the packaging the instructions tell you to remove. Once the viewing area is ready, light the fuse at arm’s length with a suitable taper and retreat promptly. Our guide to setting off fireworks covers the main preparation steps for barrages. Always follow the instructions supplied with your particular firework.
Keep the firing area clear, check wind conditions and never return to a lit firework, even if it appears inactive. Read our guide to using fireworks safely at home before planning your display.
