Festoon Lights

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Product Overview

Festoon lights are strings of lamps set at wide, regular intervals on a heavy cable, hung in swags between posts, walls or roof lines. They are used over terraces, beer gardens, markets, restaurant frontages and event grounds. Ningbo Hengboyi Lamp Co., Ltd. produces spaced-lamp strings at its factory in Yuyao, Ningbo, and has exported decorative and solar lighting since 2012.

The Hengboyi website does not list a product page named festoon. Festoon-style strings are built from the spaced-lamp strings that are listed: the US standard S14 string at 27 ft with 2.5 ft spacing, the European rubber engineering string at 27 ft with 2.5 ft spacing, and the 5 m pendant strings with 0.5 m spacing. The engineering strings use a SJTW 2C 16AWG main wire and a SPTW-1 2C 18AWG suspension wire.

The US standard string is listed for AC120V 60Hz with an E26 base, a maximum of 25 W per lamp and 1200 W per string. The European rubber string uses an E27 base at 80 lm and 2700K, and is listed at IP65. Both carry 10 bulbs. These data are the ones to check when a long span has to carry its own weight between two fixing points.

Buyers are importers and distributors, hotel and landscape contractors, e-commerce sellers and lighting brands. The company states that it offers OEM and ODM services covering length, voltage, wire type, appearance and packaging, so lamp count, spacing and cable can be set to a festoon specification when the catalog length does not match the span.

Technical Specifications

The table lists the spaced-lamp strings on the Hengboyi website that are used as festoon strings, with the data published on each product page. Length, spacing, wire size and rating are the four values that decide a festoon span.

Longer spans can be quoted as a custom length because length and wire type are on the customization list. Span limits and the maximum unsupported distance are not published and are confirmed against the cable specification in the quotation.

Applications and Target Customers

The table sets out who buys festoon strings and which published strings match each use. The spaced-lamp format fits open-air spans, so the series named are the ones with the longest published length.

Customer TypeTypical Use and Relevant Series
Table 2. Summary of applications and target customers for festoon lights.
Importers and distributorsStock lines can carry the 27 ft strings in two versions: the US standard S14 string for AC120V 60Hz with E26 bases and the European rubber string with E27 bases at IP65.
E-commerce sellersRetail sets for small terraces use the 5 m string with 0.5 m spacing, such as the S14 outdoor E27 string with 10 lamps at 2700K and about 80 lm per lamp.
Retail chainsChain stores that sell one design in two markets can pair the AC120V US string, rated 1200 W per string, with the AC220-240V pendant strings of the same spacing.
Hotels and engineering projectsBeer gardens, hotel terraces, courtyards and market streets are spans where the IP65 engineering string with SJTW 2C 16AWG main wire and SPTW-1 2C 18AWG suspension wire is used.
Lighting brandsBrand lines can change length, lamp spacing, wire type and packaging, which are on the customization list stated on the Hengboyi website.
Solar variantSolar festoon strings are covered by a separate tag page for sites with no mains supply, where the span is lit from a solar panel.

Festoon installations depend on the fixing points. The buyer states the span between posts and the planned sag so that the string length and the cable can be confirmed.

Customization Capabilities

Hengboyi offers OEM and ODM services for Festoon Lights. The website states that these services cover product design, specifications, packaging and branding, and that voltage, length, wire type, appearance and packaging can be customized. A dedicated R&D team handles exterior design, structural optimization and circuit design, and the process follows four stages: requirements discussion, sample production, mass production, and delivery with after-sales support. For Festoon Lights, the points most often fixed at this stage are string length, lamp spacing and cable cross-section.

Certification and Quality Systems

The About page of the Hengboyi website lists CE and RoHS as certifications obtained around 2020, and states that the products meet international safety and waterproofing standards. The certification page displays three certificate images. The product pages state the protection rating and the supply voltage per model, and these values are the reference when a certificate copy or a test report is requested. The table shows what each listed certification covers.

Buyers whose target market or customer requires a further approval can raise it with the sales team before placing an order, so that the requirement is checked against the specific model. The company also states that it holds independent export qualifications and is familiar with international market regulations.

Quality Control Process

The website describes quality control as running through the whole order cycle, from sample development and trial production to production-line inspection and mass-production checks, and shows a laboratory area on its factory page. The table lists the inspection points applied to Festoon Lights, using attributes that appear in the published specifications.

Lead Time and Production Capacity

Ningbo Hengboyi Lamp Co., Ltd. began in 2003 as Yuyao Hengli Auto Accessories Factory, moved into decorative and LED lighting in 2008, started exporting in 2012, was renamed in 2015, upgraded its production and testing facilities in 2018, and expanded its global customer network in 2023. The factory page shows workshop, warehouse and laboratory areas, and the production process uses injection molding. Festoon strings use the engineering-string and pendant-string lines, so the cable type and the length are fixed when the order is scheduled.

Packaging and Logistics

The company handles its own export documentation and logistics under independent export qualifications.

Procurement FAQ

  • Q: What is the MOQ for Festoon Lights?
  • A: The minimum order quantity depends on the model and on the level of customization. Catalog models and models changed in string length, lamp spacing and cable cross-section can carry different quantity levels. Send the model name, bulb shape, base type, voltage and target quantity to sale2@hengboyi.com, and the sales team replies with the MOQ for that item.
  • Q: How are samples charged and how long do they take?
  • A: Sample production is the second stage of the OEM/ODM process on the website. Sample cost and sample time are quoted per model, since a catalog item and a newly developed item need different work. The quotation states both before the sample is started. For Festoon Lights, the sample is checked for string length, lamp spacing and cable cross-section before it is approved for mass production.
  • Q: Can Festoon Lights be made under our own brand?
  • A: Yes. OEM and ODM services cover product design, specifications, packaging and branding. For Festoon Lights, the brand is normally applied to the packaging, the instruction sheet and the product label. Brand name, logo, packaging design, string length, voltage and wire type can be set to the buyer's requirements and are recorded in the project specification.
  • Q: What payment terms are used?
  • A: Payment terms are stated in the quotation and the sales contract for each order. Buyers can state the preferred terms at the inquiry stage so that they are agreed before production is scheduled.
  • Q: What warranty applies?
  • A: The website lists delivery and after-sales support as the fourth stage of the OEM/ODM process. The warranty period and the handling of defective units are written into the sales contract, and the buyer can request this wording during quotation.
