Mercun, Bunga Api and Bunga Api?

Interesting terms I found while researching about firecracker are firecracker, sparkler and firework (aka aerial firework).

In Malay, firecracker is 'mercun', sparkler is 'bunga api' and firework is.... 'bunga api' too?

I'm sure you know what firecracker is. It is small explosive thing but very capable to injure us. There are many unfortunate accidents that can attest to this every Ramadhan in Malaysia.

Sparkler is the long stick you can hold while producing bright showery light:

And lastly, firework is the beautiful display you often see during festival that light up the sky:

Does anyone know the correct terms for firework and sparkler in Malay? It seems like both are known as 'bunga api' in Malaysia.
