Bazinga! by Brothers Pyrotechnics

288 shots for under thirty quid, from a garden you can actually use.

Bazinga is an oversized Roman candle — a single 810mm tube on a spike — firing a constant stream of red, green, yellow and purple stars with crackling dragon eggs bursting through them. It’s rapid, it doesn’t let up, and the crackle is what gives it its character.

The numbers are what make it stand out. It reaches 40 metres, which is higher than plenty of 25mm cakes manage, yet it only needs 8 metres of viewing distance because everything is firing from one narrow 10mm tube. That combination is rare, and it means you get genuine height from a normal back garden.

It’s also the firework to buy in multiples. Stake two or three in a row and fire them together and you’ve got 576 or 864 shots going up at once, which looks far more impressive than the price suggests. Plenty of retailers sell it as a two-pack deal for exactly that reason.

Noise is on the lower side for a crackling firework, so it’s a reasonable choice if you want action without a lot of bang.

Best for: garden displays on a budget, firing in multiples at a larger show, or adding height to a display built from smaller cakes.
