Choosing festoon lighting
Festoon lighting uses lamps spaced along a cable to create decorative ambient lighting across event spaces, outdoor areas and architectural features. When choosing a system, consider the length of the run, lamp spacing, installation method and whether the equipment is suitable for the environment in which it will be used.
- Outdoor use: check the published IP rating of the festoon system and any associated connections or accessories before installing it outdoors.
- Run length: calculate the total distance to be covered and check the permitted connection or extension length for the chosen system.
- Lamp spacing: closer spacing creates a denser decorative effect, while wider spacing may suit larger areas and longer runs.
- Mounting: plan suitable support points, mounting poles and fixing accessories for the location and installation.
- Application: festoon lighting is commonly used for weddings, marquees, hospitality spaces, festivals, Christmas displays and decorative event lighting.
