ROMAN CANDLES
Unlike most fireworks which fire only one shot per tube, Roman Candles are fireworks that shoot multiple effects one after another from a single tube. The type of shots can range from a simple colour star to more complex strobing, bursting, whistling and crackling.

How Fireworks Work - Roman Candles
Though roman candles seem like a simple firework, the construction process is quite complex and difficult. After a clay plug at the bottom, the roman candle tube consists of alternating layers of lift charge, stars, and delay compositions.
When the fuse enters the tube, it activates a slow-burning delay composition that makes its way down. Within seconds, the delay charge reaches the first star, simultaneously igniting both it and the lift charge below it, which blows the star out of the tube. As the lift charge fires, it also ignites the next layer of delay composition, which will light a star and the lift charge to blow it out a few seconds later. This continues until every star has been blown out of the tube.
