Why Choose Festoon Lighting?

Enhanced Ambience and Aesthetics

Festoon lighting creates a warm, inviting atmosphere, perfect for setting the mood in outdoor spaces. The soft glow of festoon bulbs can transform any venue into a magical space, ideal for events, dining, or simply relaxing. Whether strung overhead, draped along walkways, or used to highlight architectural features, festoon lighting enhances the visual appeal of any environment.

Versatility and Customisation

One of the key advantages of festoon lighting is its versatility. With a wide range of bulb styles, colours, and cable options, you can customise the lighting to suit your specific needs. Flexible Neon's festoon lighting products offer endless possibilities for creating unique lighting displays that reflect your brand and captivate your audience.

Durability and Weather Resistance

Outdoor lighting must withstand various weather conditions. Flexible Neon's festoon lighting is made from durable polycarbonate, unlike many competitors who use glass. This ensures that our festoon lighting is both shatterproof and weather-resistant, making it a reliable choice for outdoor use.

Design Tips for Using Festoon Lighting

Use festoon lighting to illuminate pathways and entrances, guiding guests and creating a welcoming atmosphere. Flexible Neon's festoon cables with 0.5m spacing are perfect for this purpose, providing even and consistent lighting.

2. Create Overhead Canopies

String festoon lights overhead to create a canopy effect. This is particularly effective in outdoor dining areas or event spaces, where the overhead lighting adds a touch of elegance and charm. Our 0.9m spacing cables are ideal for creating expansive canopies.

3. Accentuate Architectural Features

Highlight the architectural features of your venue with festoon lighting. Use our custom-designed lanterns and shades to add a unique touch and draw attention to specific areas.

4. Enhance Themed Decor

Match the festoon bulb colours to the theme of your event or venue. For example, use warm white bulbs for a classic look, or vibrant colours like cyan, red, or green for festive occasions.

5. Layer Your Lighting

Combine festoon lighting with other lighting solutions, such as fairy lights or LED strips, to create depth and dimension. This layering effect can enhance the overall ambience and make your space feel more dynamic.
