Diwali Firework Types: 6 Essentials for Every Garden Display
01
Garden Barrages for Diwali
A barrage (also called a cake) is a multiple-shot box that fires automatically once lit. A firework barrage delivers a rapid burst of colourful shots, dazzling effects and powerful bangs for an exciting, spectacular display
02
Colour Fountains
03
Diwali Rocket Packs for the Big Finale
Fountains are ground-based fireworks that emit showers of colourful sparks - typically in gold, red, and silver. Ground fountains emit crackle and sparks without explosive aerial bursts, making them perfect for decorating the start or end of a diwali night.
Rockets are single aerial fireworks on a stick that rise before bursting into coloured stars, brocade crowns, or glittering crackles high above. They make natural finale material and are perfect for marking key Diwali moments.
04
Sparklers for Family Diwali Photos
Sparklers are a popular choice for celebrations - the most hands-on, family-friendly firework, ideal for photos, writing names in the air, and shared moments of fun filled with light.
05
Single‑Ignition "Display in a Box" Kits
Single-ignition boxes are large, pre-fused kits that create a full mini-display from a single light. One flame, one fuse, and the entire show runs itself - ideal.
06
Roman Candles and Wheels for Gardens
Roman candles are tubes that gently fire single coloured stars one after another. Catherine wheels are spinning fireworks fixed to a post, creating mesmerising circles of sparks.
