Filmtools China Balls are designed to allow heat to escape through the top and therefore are not compatible with the LanternLock, system which employees the use of paper lanterns that have an opening of 5", regardless of size. The 18" Filmtools China Ball has a 6.25" diameter top hole and a 4" bottom hole.

Some customers use up to 1000 watt bulbs in the 24" and 30" China Balls. If you do use higher than recommended globes be sure to never leave them unattended due to the threat of spontaneous fire. Filmtools is not responsible for any damage or injury caused by the use of higher than recommended lamp wattage.

Overall Rating for Filmtools 18" White Paper China Ball
(based on 1 review)
Great light
By Elliott from Orange, CA on July 26, 2012
I put one up in my dining room to replace an old chandelier. Doesn't look as nice, but the light produced is much better (softer). But I wish they used a better material that could withstand more heat/wattage.
Pros:
soft light
Cons:
Low rated wattage

I would recommend this item to a friend.
