When it comes to creating stunning festoon lighting displays, choosing the right E27 festoon cable is crucial. Festoon cables not only provide the electrical connection for your lights but also play a significant role in determining the spacing and layout of your lighting arrangement. With various options available, selecting the ideal festoon cable can seem daunting. In this guide, we'll explore the different types of E27 festoon cables and provide insights to help you make the right choice for your lighting project.

Understanding E27 Festoon Cable Options: E27 festoon cables come in a variety of styles and configurations, each offering unique features and benefits. However, all the cables have a 80m max single feed festoon cable length. Here's a closer look at some common options available:

  1. Festoon Cable BLK E27 Flat 0.25m Spacing (mtr): This type of festoon cable features a flat design with a spacing of 0.25 meters between sockets. It is ideal for creating densely packed lighting arrangements, providing a high concentration of lights in a limited space.

It offers a balanced combination of coverage and spacing, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

  3. Festoon Cable BLK E27 Flat 0.90m Spacing (mtr): With a spacing of 0.90 meters between sockets, this festoon cable provides ample room for larger lighting fixtures and allows for a more spread-out arrangement. It is ideal for illuminating outdoor spaces such as gardens, patios, and event venues.

  4. Festoon Cable BLK E27 Round 0.50m (mtr): Featuring a round design with a spacing of 0.50 meters between sockets, this festoon cable offers a classic and elegant look. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and provides flexibility in terms of layout and configuration.

Why Choose 24V Festoon Lighting?
24v Festoon Bulbs Festoon Festoon Lighting Outdoor Festoon Lighting

Why Choose 24V Festoon Lighting?

While festoon lighting is available in various voltages, including 12V and 240V, opting for 24V festoon lighting offers many distinct advantages. Here's why you should consider choosing 24V festoon lighting for your next lighting project:

  1. Enhanced Safety: One of the primary reasons to choose 24V festoon lighting is its enhanced safety features. Compared to higher voltage options, such as 240V, 24V lighting poses a significantly lower risk of electric shock, making it safer for use in both indoor and outdoor environments. This is particularly important for installations in public spaces, events, and areas frequented by children or pets.

  2. Reduced Voltage Drop: Voltage drop occurs when electricity travels through a wire, resulting in a decrease in voltage along the length of the cable. With 24V festoon lighting, you'll experience less voltage drop compared to lower voltage options like 12V. This means that your lights will maintain consistent brightness and performance over longer cable lengths, ensuring even illumination across your installation.

  3. Longer Cable Runs: The use of 24V festoon lighting allows for longer cable runs without sacrificing brightness or performance. This flexibility is especially beneficial for large-scale installations or outdoor lighting setups where longer cable lengths are required to cover expansive areas. With 24V lighting, you can achieve your desired lighting design without worrying about limitations imposed by voltage drop.

  4. Compatibility with LED Technology: 24V festoon lighting is well-suited for use with energy-efficient LED bulbs and fixtures. LED bulbs offer numerous advantages over traditional incandescent bulbs, including lower energy consumption, longer lifespan, and enhanced durability. By choosing 24V festoon lighting compatible with LED technology, you can enjoy the benefits of efficient and eco-friendly lighting solutions for your home, business, or event.

  5. Versatile Applications: Whether you're decorating a backyard for a garden party, illuminating a wedding venue, or enhancing the ambience of a commercial space, 24V festoon lighting offers versatile applications. Its low voltage, combined with a wide range of bulb styles and cable options, makes it suitable for a variety of indoor and outdoor settings, including gardens, patios, cafés, restaurants, festivals, and more.

  6. Compliance with Regulations: In Australia, electrical regulations dictate the use of low-voltage lighting solutions for certain applications, particularly in outdoor and public spaces. Choosing 24V festoon lighting ensures compliance with relevant regulations and standards, giving you peace of mind knowing that your lighting installation meets safety requirements and guidelines.

24V festoon lighting offers enhanced safety, reduced voltage drop, longer cable runs, compatibility with LED technology, versatile applications, and compliance with regulations. Whether you're a homeowner, event planner, or business owner, opting for 24V festoon lighting provides a reliable and efficient lighting solution that delivers exceptional performance and aesthetic appeal for any occasion.

Understanding the Longevity of Flexible Neon LED Strip Lights
Fairy Lights Festoon Lighting Flexible Neon Floodlights

Understanding the Longevity of Flexible Neon LED Strip Lights

LED strip lights, like those offered by Flexible Neon, are renowned for their longevity and versatility. To understand how long these LED strip lights can last, it's essential to examine their structure and the factors that influence their lifespan.

 

The Structure of LED Strip Lights:

The main components of LED strips include LED's (Light Emitting Diodes), FPCB (Flexible Printed Circuit Boards), resistors, and other essential elements. These components are assembled using Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Assembly Process, which mounts LED's, resistors, and other components onto the FPCB.

Some outdoor or underwater LED strips may also have a protective silicone or PU glue coating. However, it's crucial to note that LED strips with higher IP ratings, designed for enhanced protection against dust and water, may have a somewhat shorter lifespan compared to IP20-rated LED strips. This is primarily because LED strips with higher IP ratings struggle to dissipate heat as efficiently. Generally, cooler environments support a longer LED lifespan, as higher temperatures tend to reduce light output. (For more details on how heat affects LED's, see "How are LED's affected by heat?")

 

Understanding LED Lifetime and the "L70" Rule:

Unlike traditional incandescent or fluorescent bulbs that fail abruptly, LED's gradually lose their light output over time. They continue working until they become too dim to be practical. The industry has established a standard for this gradual decrease in light output, known as the "L70" metric. It signifies the point at which an LED has dimmed to 70% of its original brightness.

In some instances, you may come across symbols like "LxByCz(h)" to describe the lifetime of LED luminaires. Here's what it means:

  • "Lx" denotes the number of hours after which the luminous flux has dropped to x percent.
  • "By" signifies the percentage of luminaires in the same group that have fallen below the specified luminous flux.
  • "Cz" indicates the percentage of luminaires in the group that have experienced total LED failure.

For example, "L70B10C0.1 (50,000 h)" means that after 50,000 hours:

  • The LED luminaires must still provide at least 70% of their initial luminous flux.
  • Up to 10% of the luminaires can provide less than 70% of the initial luminous flux.
  • In just 0.1% of the luminaires, all LED's may have failed.

Understanding the Longevity of Flexible Neon LED Strip Lights

 

How Is "L70" Calculated?

To calculate LED lifetime, a testing method called LM-80 is often employed. This method specifies a predetermined temperature and driving current for testing LED samples. The light output change is measured at intervals of 1000 hours, up to a maximum of 10,000 hours. Reputable manufacturers conduct LM-80 testing at third-party laboratories to ensure impartial results. They then publish these results in report format. It's important to note that reliable LED strip suppliers should be able to provide LM80 test reports, especially when purchasing large quantities.

However, LED life testing can be time-consuming. For instance, even with LED's operating 24/7, a 10,000-hour test takes around 14 months. This timeframe is impractical for fast-moving industries like LED lighting. To address this issue, the TM-21 extrapolation algorithm is employed. It considers the performance of LM-80-tested samples during the first few thousand hours and provides an estimated lifetime.

 

Factors Affecting LED Strip Light Lifespan:

Several factors can affect the lifespan of LED strip lights:

  1. FPCB (Flexible Printed Circuit Board): High-quality, double-layer pure copper flexible PCBs facilitate the smooth passage of significant current, reduce heat generation, and promote efficient heat dissipation. By attaching the LED strip to an aluminium profile, you can dissipate heat effectively and lower the operating temperature, thus extending LED life.

  2. Double-Sided Tape: Quality matters when it comes to adhesive tape. LED strip lights from reputable suppliers often use high-quality tapes, like the 3M brand VHB tape. Proper tape quality ensures long-lasting installations and good thermal conductivity.

  3. Resistors: Resistors regulate the forward current through LED's to maintain their designed brightness. It's crucial to use high-quality resistors from reputable manufacturers to avoid shortening the LED strip's life or causing damage.

  4. Power Supply: The power supply is a critical component. Always use a reliable, brand-name power supply to ensure stable voltage output. Low-quality power supplies can deliver unstable voltages that might exceed the LED strip's working voltage, potentially damaging it.

  5. Heat Dissipation: Heat can significantly reduce LED lifespan. To manage heat effectively, install LED strips in well-ventilated areas. If feasible, attach the LED strip to an aluminium profile to aid in heat dissipation, as aluminium is an excellent conductor of heat.

 

By considering these factors and following best practices for installation and maintenance, you can maximise the lifespan of your Flexible Neon LED strip lights, ensuring they provide brilliant and reliable illumination for years to come.

What is IP Rating
24v Festoon Bulbs Festoon Festoon Lighting Flexible Neon Floodlights Led Floodlights Neon Led Strip Outdoor Festoon Lighting

What is IP Rating

Manufacturers often use the term “dust resistant” or “waterproof” to describe their products’ robustness. But such statements don’t give proper justification for the extent of protection. So, to specify and strengthen such claims, they use IP ratings to define the resistance level of their products. The first number in the rating is from 0-6 and measures the protection from solids, 6 being the best protection). The second number is the protection against liquids, usually measured 0 to 8 (higher number the better).
