When installing festoon lights permanently, you may need to install a support cable as well. If your festoon strings are spanning 10m or more from each point of contact, a support cable will help to support the cable over time. Only large installations will be spanning the lights out this far though. Please let us know if you have any questions about your installation.

A per metre price can be difficult to provide as there are lots of options with regards to spacing between bulbs, types of bulbs etc. If you know what length of cable you require, what spacing and what bulbs you would like, please see the webstore for a price. Alternatively, please email or call us for a formal quote. A very rough price for the festoon lights is $60 per metre with warm white bulbs, 50cm spacing cable and transformer all included.
Absolutely! The festoon lights are designed for permanent outdoor use. All the lamp holders are factory moulded into the cable and have a weatherproof flange which keeps water out. The transformers included all IP67 rated so you can install these outside permanently as well if required.

Our LED bulbs are designed to survive the harsh Aussie conditions. The shell is made from a smash proof polycarbonate material which come in colours and a clear option which looks just like glass. Like all LED, the more you use the lights, the more they will dim. This is another benefit of these lights as you won’t see blown bulbs! They just dim over time, as they are used. If you are wanting the lights for a commercial space and are expecting to have them on from 10-12 hours per day, 7 days per week, you should expect to get at least 2-3 years out of the lamps before they need replacing. They should continue to work past this point however they won’t be providing as much output.
The festoon lights are designed for permanent outdoor use and all parts come ready for installation. This will generally require a licensed electrician as there will be hard wiring involved. The festoon cable will be cut to your desired length and bulbs screwed in and tested. The 24Volt transformer is supplied separately so you can install it wherever you need to. If you have any questions regarding installation please give us a call.
We make each festoon length to order so you can have anything you like from 1m to 40m in one continuous string. The maximum length is 40m as the festoon lights are a low voltage system.
