Products and Technical
Yes, our in-house graphics team are experienced in creating bespoke designs, from one-off motifs that reflect a locations heritage or persons memory to helping you celebrate a specific festival or occasion. Our team will work directly with you to understand your requirements.
Can you produce images/simulations of the lights in place?
Yes, our Regional Accounts Managers and Projects Team will work with you to understand your requirements and will then produce a proposal that will include visuals and animations where requested.
Do Christmas lights have to be PAT tested?
Yes, for safety, we test all of our ex-hire lighting frames before dispatch from our warehouse.
How many lights can I supply from a single power supply?
We can power over 9000 LEDs from a single power supply. Light products are available in different lengths and concentrations of LEDs, power requirements will be dependent on these two factors as a minimum. Our team will assess the requirements during initial consultation and/or site survey.
What is the difference between IP ratings?
IP (Ingress Protection) ratings are used to show how well a product is protected against dust and water. The rating is made up of two numbers: the first refers to protection against solid objects (like dust or grit reaching internal parts), and the second refers to how resistant it is to water. The higher the number, the better the protection.
VDE stands for Verband der Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik — the Association for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies in Germany. It is an internationally recognised certification body that tests and approves electrical products to ensure they meet high safety and quality standards.
When a cable is VDE approved, it means it has been independently tested to confirm it is safe, durable, and compliant with strict European regulations. This includes checks on insulation, fire resistance, and overall performance. VDE certification is internationally recognised as a mark of quality and gives confidence that the cable is built to perform reliably and safely over time.
What is a Wind Support System?
A Wind Support System is designed to help protect larger column motifs, typically 2 metres and above, from wind damage. It reinforces the frame at the corners, where welded joints are most vulnerable, by helping to support the joint and reduce movement caused by wind. This added support helps prevent twisting or stress fractures during poor weather.
Orders and Support
Lead times will vary depending on the requirements of the customer. During our consultation stage we will be able to confirm this. We hold extensive stocks of most products and can often supply lighting at short notice.
Do you hire or lease products?
Yes, we offer both short-term hire and longer-term leasing options. A significant part of our business is dedicated to the design and hire of our products, with many of our lighting schemes hired on agreements ranging from 1 to 5 years. We can also provide individual items for one-off events or shorter hire periods, and are happy to tailor the hire to suit your needs.
Unforeseen circumstances are rare because we focus on our project management responsibilities but we have comprehensive contingencies should they occur.

Installation and Infrastructure
Yes, we can install all of our products. We partner with a network of certified and accredited electrical contractors throughout the UK and Ireland. This allows us to manage multiple installations and to provide a comprehensive aftercare service to our customers.
Can I install the lights myself?
Our products are designed for commercial use and must be installed by a qualified and licensed professional. This ensures the installation is safe, compliant with regulations, and that the product performs as intended. Improper installation can lead to safety risks and may void your warranty, so we always recommend using a professional installer.
Can you advise on the infrastructure needed to install the lights?
Yes, while the required infrastructure is variable and will be dependent on the type of installation, the location and buildings/columns we are fixing to. We can support with advice and when installation services are being provided, we will conduct a site survey prior to the installation to assess the requirements, so all goes supported.
Can you advise or assist with filling out applications to get permission to install the lights?
Yes, we are experienced in the process and can offer professional guidance.
Can we purchase products and you install them?
Yes, we may be able to support our customers with installation on purchased goods, subject to minimum installation threshold, due to fixed costs like access equipment and labour. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
