We are often asked about the selling of Category 4 fireworks to organisations and individuals that have carried out small displays using Cat3 fireworks and wish, they think, to progress to bigger and better things!<\/p>\n
In most cases the distinction between a Category 3 and 4 display is quite clear. If you feel your event has outgrown a Category 3 display then it is time to get in a professional company!<\/p>\n
Category 4 fireworks are for use by persons with \u201cSpecialist Knowledge\u201d and will require a company to have, in most cases;<\/p>\n
as well as the technical knowledge and experience to determine appropriate \u201csafety\u201d distances that are applicable under the conditions of the display.<\/p>\n
Category 4 fireworks are not simply \u201cbigger\u201d or \u201cbetter\u201d than Category 3 fireworks \u2013 they are often incomplete and require ancillary equipment, whereas Category 3 fireworks are supplied complete. If used in accordance with the instructions it is perfectly possible to put on a safe, spectacular and extensive display using Category 3 fireworks \u2013 paying attention to the minimum safety distances prescribed, and by creative use of a variety of firework types to provide a flowing display with highs and lows and with a suitable finale. Your supplier will be able to provide assistance, or we recommend that you consult the following book by Dr Tom Smith:\u2013<\/p>\n
