COLOR: To interpret the color rating, bear in mind these
facts. Not all fireworks have a lot of colors in them, some products were
meant to have a lot of colors and some were not. If they were meant to have
color, the color should be bright. Five Pyrodudes probably means that the
colors in the product are very bright. If you see two Pyrodudes, it could
mean the colors are a slightly dull, but check to make sure it isn't just a
firecracker or other item that doesn't need color to be fantastic!
DURATION or HEIGHT: Duration refers to how long an item lasts. Some items can "wow" you in seconds and some take a while to show off all their effects. There are yet other items set up in a way that their shoot time varies. Reloadables, rockets and roman candles are a perfect example. The time it takes each consumer to light each item will vary. These items are better judged by their height, rather than their duration. The more Pyrodudes you see, the longer it will last or higher it will go.
NOISE: The noise of an item is pretty self-explanatory. If
an item shows 5 Pyrodudes for noise there are going to be loud reports, loud
crackle and/or loud whistles. The lower the number of Pyrodudes the quieter
the item should be. There will always be a little noise with fireworks, but
not everything will wake up the neighbors.
SPACE NEEDED: Each firework needs a certain amount of space. Keep
in mind that an item requiring a lot of space doesn't just mean ground space,
it requires aerial space as well. Tree cover, houses, power lines and the
like should all be taken into account. For example, novelty and flying items
are best used on hard surfaces, such as driveways, but some of them also
require some overhead aerial space too. Be sure to read the product
descriptions and warnings on each item before using it and always check the
weather, including fire warnings and wind speed.
STAFF RATING: Our staff, both seasonal and year-round, are well
trained in the product they sell. From the different categories to the
individual effects, they know what to look for. A few times every year,
Fireworks Forever conducts product demo's for our employees. That way they
can see, first-hand, what they are selling. They are also required to watch
product-demo videos and acquaint themselves with each item. All this
experience gives them the skills they need to deliver educated opinions.
