Product Details:
Our 10m Festoon Light strands for hire are provided with 10 x 25 watt clear warm white vintage light bulbs as standard with lower wattage and LED coloured bulbs also available. A standard non-connectable festoon strand has approximately 8m of bulbed cable with 2m of blank cable from the plug to the first bulb socket. If you need more than 8m of bulbed cable, we suggest considering a 20m festoon strand.
Bulb Types:
We provide a range of bulb styles to choose from to suit your event style and installation type.
25 Watt Clear Warm White: This bulb provides the classic warm white vintage glow, loved by photographers and film makers for their organic warmth. When used in a 20m festoon strand you can power up to 4 x 20m runs from one standard 240v 10amp outlet. Being incandescent, this bulb type is dimmable using an external 240v dimming device.
7 Watt Clear Warm White: Much like the 25 watt option, this bulb provides the same warm white vintage glow whilst using a reduced amount of power. We recommend this type of bulb for cases where lots of festoon is being installed and the power available is limited. When used in a 20m festoon strand you can power up to 16 x 20m runs from one standard 240v 10amp outlet. Being incandescent, this bulb type is dimmable using an external 240v dimming device.
3 Watt Frosted LED Bulbs: Available in a warm white or cool white option, this bulb style is frosted (you can’t see the insides) and made from durable plastic. Being LED, 3 watts is much brighter than the incandescent 7w or 25w clear options above. Ideal for use at outdoor festivals, night markets, sporting events and more where large areas need to be lit whilst being power efficient. Due to the high brightness of the LED bulbs, we don’t recommend this option for small spaces or in areas with low ceilings. The 3 watt frosted warm white and cool white bulbs are not dimmable.
3 Watt LED Colour Controllable Bulbs: Perfect for that classic party light look, the 3 watt LED colour controllable bulbs come supplied with a remote control to customise each bulbs colour. This option is great for decorative use and even provides the ability to have the individual bulbs cycle through colours and strobe, flash or fade if required. These bulbs are dimmable with the supplied remote control. Do not use with an external dimming device.

Our 25m Connectable Festoon Light strands for hire are provided with 25 x 7 watt clear warm white vintage light bulbs as standard with lower wattage LED options and coloured bulbs also available. Connectable festoon is a great solution where a continuous run of festoon is required to be used. Each length comes with an adaptor on the end that simply screws into the start of the next strand.
WARNING: 25m connectable festoon is not recommended for use when using festoon poles kits if the span is more than 12 metres unsupported. For spans over 12m a festoon pole or support in the middle of the strand is required to reduce cable strain and sag. Failure to support the festoon strand appropriately can result in injury and harm to equipment and your event guests. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that adequate support is in place to ensure safety for both people and equipment.
We recommend using a rope or catenary wire attached the festoon strand to reduce sag and avoid damage to the cable caused by tension over long spans when installing with spans of more than 12m from point to point.

Our festoon lighting and fairy light pole hire kits are 3.2 metres high which provide enough height to still have sag in the lighting cables over long spans to comfortably clear crowd height.
The Festoon Pole hire kit for installation in soil comes with 2 star pickets that are placed into the ground creating a column which the festoon pole is then secured into using zip ties. You can use your own zip/cable ties or select the option to include them with your pole kit hire.
IMPORTANT Transport Information: Due to the 3.2m length of the lighting pole, a suitably sized vehicle will be required to transport it safely if you choose to pick up your order from our warehouse. Please measure 3.2m on or in your vehicle or trailer before arriving to collect to ensure that you can transport the equipment appropriately.
Instructions are provided at the time of delivery or pick up. Please ask our friendly team if you are unsure about the installation process and we’ll gladly assist.
We suggest using at least eight 4.8mm x 30cm zip ties per pole (3 top, 2 middle, 3 bottom) to secure the pole to the star picket column safely. Choose to have zip ties included when adding this item to your cart, provide your own or order a bulk pack here: Zip Tie 100 Pack
A Clamp and Shackle Assembly is included with each pole kit hire to safely, easily and quickly attach festoon, fairy lights and more. The clamp can slide up and down the length of the pole to easily change the clamp height.
Festoon Pole and Ground Stake Kit Includes:
1 x 3.2m Structural Aluminium Pole
1 x Clamp and Shackle Assembly
2 x 1.8m Star Pickets
1 x Star Picket Column Spacer
(Zip/Cable Ties if selected)
For accurate installation of the star picket column we recommend adding the “Star Picket Driver” to your order for easier installation of star pickets in soil. Using normal hammers can take longer, damage the picket and cause the picket to insert on an unhelpful angle.
For quick removal of the star pickets, we recommend adding the “Star Picket Remover” to your order. This handy device will pull the pickets out of the ground with ease when it’s time to pack up your lighting installation.
WARNING: Brisbane Festoon Hire accepts no responsibility for damages to property or injuries to people due to equipment that is hired and installed by the hire customer. It is the responsibility of the hire customer to provide safety to all guests and/or audiences when hiring and installing equipment.

Our festoon pole and base plate hire kit provides a weighted base plate for delicate, hard or concrete surfaces where the ground stake kit is not an option.
Solid Surface Pole Kit Includes:
1 x 3.2m Structural Aluminium Pole
1 x Clamp and Shackle Assembly
1 x 19kg Base Plate and Pole Spigot
NOTE: 10kg weight bags shown in photos are for example only and NOT included unless a quantity is selected when adding this item to the hire cart.
You can choose between 10kg weight bags for easy handling or 20kg weight bricks which can stack together on top of the base plate.
We recommend the following weights for the spans listed below:
The minimum weight limits below are for parallel (pole to pole) layouts only. If you are creating a zig zag pattern with your lighting, you will need to double the weight on the base plate. For example, a 10m zig zag means two lines are coming off one pole, totalling 20m, requiring double the weight of a single 10m run.
0 to 5m Span of Standard Festoon
- Minimum 10kg Per Base Plate
5 to 10m Span of Standard Festoon
- Minimum 20kg Per Base Plate
10m to 15m Span of Standard Festoon
- Minimum 40kg Per Base Plate
15m to 20m Span of Standard Festoon
- Minimum 60kg Per Base Plate
To hire additional weight bags, click here.
WARNING: Failure to stabilise a base plate and pole kit using at least the minimum recommended amount of weight bags can result in serious injury and/or property damage. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that there is an adequate amount of weight placed on base plates to prevent poles falling over under tension. Brisbane Festoon Hire accepts no responsibility for damages to property or injuries to people due to equipment that is hired and installed by the customer. It is the responsibility of the customer to provide safety to all guests and/or audiences when hiring and installing equipment.
IMPORTANT Transport Information: Due to the 3.2m length of the lighting pole, a suitably sized vehicle will be required to transport it safely if you choose to pick up your order from our warehouse. Please measure 3.2m on or in your vehicle or trailer before arriving to collect to ensure that you can transport the equipment appropriately.
