Marquee Lighting
Illuminating a marquee for any event or celebration can be a daunting prospect. With a vast area of blank canvass
to fill as well as safety and logistical issues to consider it is little wonder.
However, with the options available in modern lighting solutions, illuminating a marquee needn't be a chore. Our
store is packed with lights ideally suited to creating the right ambient atmosphere for any occasion.
Creative Lighting Effects
Bringing the outdoors inside a marquee is made possible by the range of LED curtains and nets. When connected
together you can reproduce a starry sky within the confines of a marquee simply by arranging the lights strategically
on the ceiling. If you're looking for something more than a standard static light, many of the LED net lights also
have a 'chasing light' capability, which creates a shimmering look that is sure to dazzle and delight guests.
LED light curtains are an ideal way to add a splash of light and colour to an otherwise non-descript area of the
marquee. Draping down from the ceiling the curtains of light create a glow that bathes the surrounding area in
mesmerising colour. Available in a variety of colours, styles and sizes you can enjoy creating a look to suit the
atmosphere of your event.
Flexible Lighting Options
For something a little more flexible, light ropes are ideal. These strands of light can be used in a variety of
ways, whether it's highlighting certain features or simply running around the marquee to create a colourful border.
Using either a rice bulb or an LED, ropes can go from 9 to 90 metres in length, allowing you greater flexibility
in how and where to use them. If 90 meters still isn't enough, connectors will allow you connect more ropes
together and produce a truly spectacular lighting display.
Fairy lights and connectible rope strings are similarly useful for adding a spot of colour, particularly
during the festive season. Much like the rope lights they consist of a length of cord with bulbs distributed
equally along the length. However unlike ropes they aren't encased in a protective plastic cover, which means
that they have even greater flexibility. This allows them to wrap around slender objects like plants or furniture.
Outdoor Lighting Safety Considerations
At any event safety is of utmost importance, this is never more so than when there are large numbers of people
in a confined area. Marquees are ordinarily a temporary structure, which can often be left exposed to the elements,
externally at least. Therefore ensuring that all wiring and electronics are connected correctly is essential to
safety. Our outdoor lights are specifically designed to withstand inclement weather. Using weatherproof casings
for all wires, bulbs and connectors ensures that all electrical lighting equipment is safe for use indoors and
outdoors.
To help ensure that the lights don't go out on your celebration look for lighting fixtures with our unique fuse
bulb technology. This prevents the entire circuit tripping if a single bulb fuses. By bypassing the affected bulb
the others in the circuit can continue to function as normal, allowing the celebrations to go on uninterrupted.
