Festoon Lighting

Create welcoming spaces with festoon lighting for weddings, beer gardens, marquees and commercial venues. Explore festoon harnesses, decorative LED bulbs, string lights, cables and accessories from PCE, elumen8, LEDJ, Lyyt and Prolite.

Festoon Lighting for Weddings and Outdoor Venues

Festoon lighting adds atmosphere to seating areas, terraces, pergolas and event spaces. Strings of visible bulbs can define a gathering area, frame an entrance or create an illuminated canopy above a wedding reception.

Prebeat’s range includes options for event hire companies, hospitality venues and commercial installations, alongside decorative lighting for seasonal displays. Choose the lamp style, spacing and cable length to suit the setting.

Festoon Harnesses and Decorative String Lights

Our festoon harnesses provide lamp holders along a cable, allowing you to select compatible bulbs for the appearance you want. The range includes different lengths and lamp spacings for layouts ranging from closely spaced displays to longer runs across larger spaces.

For a different decorative effect, explore our festoon string lights, including LED strings in white and multicolour options. Check what each product includes, as some systems require a separate power lead, controller or lamps.

Choosing Bulbs, Colour and Spacing

Warm white and decorative filament-style LED bulbs suit relaxed hospitality settings and wedding venues. Coloured lamps offer an alternative for themed events and festive displays, while globe and other decorative shapes change the appearance of the installation even before the lights are switched on.

Match the lamp cap to the harness: bayonet cap and Edison screw fittings are not interchangeable. Check the permitted lamp wattage and voltage, and use dimmable bulbs with compatible control equipment where adjustable brightness is required.

Planning an Outdoor Festoon Installation

Measure the intended route, allowing for the distance to the first lamp holder and the shape of each suspended run. Lamp spacing affects both the number of bulbs required and the overall look, so compare it alongside the total harness length.

For outdoor use, check the ratings and installation requirements of the complete system, including lamps, holders, connections and power supplies. Use compatible extension accessories and follow the manufacturer’s maximum load and connection limits when expanding a setup.

Combine festoon lighting with suitably rated wireless uplighters to add colour to surrounding walls and features while keeping the festoon display as the decorative focus.
