Light colour clarification
The light colour of white bulbs is expressed in Kelvin. Kelvin is a spectrum where the lower the number, the warmer the colour. 2000 Kelvin (2000K) is what we call 'extra' warm white. It is similar to the colour of candlelight, where the light is a bit more yellow. 2650 Kelvin is the colour of the incandescent bulb. This colour is still warm white but a little less yellow. The 6500 Kelvin bulbs have a cool white colour. We sometimes have customers who find the 2000K too warm, but on the other hand, we also have customers who find the 2650K not warm enough. Fortunately, the vast majority of customers are happy with their initial choice for either variant.
Product dimensions
The total length of the festoon cables are measured from the plug to the end cap. For example, with a 5-metre-long festoon cable, there is 50 cm between the plug and first fitting. For 10-metre festoon cables, this is 1 metre. And for festoon cables of 15 to 100 metres, this is 1.5 metres. If you find the distance to the first fitting too short, you can add an extension cord. We have made an overview with the detailed dimensional drawings for each size of the festoon lighting cables so you can see which size is most suitable for you.
Number of fittings
With this set, you can choose between 1, 2 or 3 fittings per metre. The number of fittings depends on the light image you want to create, but also on your budget. Most customers choose 2 fittings per metre.
Connectable and non-connectable festoon lights
When making your choice, you can select standard or connectable festoon cables. The connectable festoon cables feature a unique connector system. If you do not plan to interconnect a festoon cable, a standard festoon cable is the best choice. Should you wish to reconnect this festoon cable in the future, you can do so by mounting a festoon plug connector at the end.
Easy installation
After receiving this warm white festoon lighting cable set with bulbs, all you need to do is screw the bulbs into the sockets. Please note! Our loose LED bulbs have a protection value of IP20. With the festoon cable set, the bulbs and the festoon cable are supplied separately. You have to screw the bulbs into the sockets by hand. Please check the manual for step-by-step instructions on how to screw in the bulbs correctly.
Furthermore, the festoon cable is "plug & play". This means that the fittings with sealing rings, the plug and the end piece are already assembled. You can easily fix the festoon cable with cable ties or an attachment kit.
