London Calling by Riakeo Fireworks

The Pioneering Single-Comet Core Effect, Done Properly

London Calling… all we can hear when we read that is the famous song by The Clash, but let’s talk fireworks! Riakeo were the first to bring out the effect which starts this cake — a burst with a single, large, coloured comet or star which appears from the core of the burst. Others have copied it since, but Riakeo were the pioneers of this effect, and it’s used brilliantly here.

120 shots open with ti-gold coconuts with nishiki coloured dahlias in red, green, sea blue, orange and yellow — that’s the spitting cores — followed by red, green, sea blue, lemon and orange bursts with fizzing stars, spit red and spit green to crackling flowers, and a stunning finale of gold fizzing palms (which Riakeo call daisy flowers) to red strobe. 100 seconds of unique, exciting action, with the maximum 5/5 noise rating.

Safety Information

London Calling is a Category F2 firework. Given the mixed tube sizes including 30mm, we recommend treating it as if it were Category F3 for distance purposes — a minimum safety distance of 25 metres. Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions, use the firework only in a suitable large outdoor location and keep spectators at or beyond the recommended safety distance. Cakes should always be secured so they can’t fall over, there are several ways to do this. Watch our Safety videos on how to secure your cakes with [bricks] or [wooden stakes]

Never hold a lit firework or return to a firework that has failed to ignite. Children and pets should remain safely away from the firing area.
