Bright Star! The first question I guess is just who ARE they? I think now marketing fireworks under the brand name "Star Burst" and possibly "Night Star" , and they also own (or are maybe owned by) the Esco Brand.

They were one of the first companies to have a really good website- featuring nearly all their products, as well as products from Panda, as downloadable videos, at a time when this was very rare (before You Tube!) I think they were linked to (or owned by) Panda, and possibly Men Shun at some point.

See, it gets complicated!

Onto the Fireworks!

They actually produce a large and generally decent range, not stocked by many all year round shops with some innovative items, usually at the cheaper end. They have a wonderful firework that is a wheel/fountain combination, at Cat 2. They also had rockets with a fountain start- something that didn't catch on, but an interesting idea never the less. I havn't seen much of their bigger stuff at all, I would imagine that it is sort of similar to Men Shun.

A few years ago they had a sub-brand that was based on "War of the Worlds-" an interesting idea (themed brands), that obviously didn't catch on.
