What we do

Festoon hire and outdoor event lighting, Auckland wide

Festoons are the easy part. Getting them to look right and stay up all night is the rest of it. We handle spans and layout, warm-white or amber tone, power distribution, and safe rigging, so the lighting reads as designed rather than draped. Straightforward outdoor lighting hire, from a single garden span to a festival site.

Two ways to hire

Dry hire, or designed and installed

Dry hire

You collect, you hang, you return it. A straightforward way to get a proper look on a smaller budget, with both incandescent and LED sets to choose from.

Designed and installed

We plan the layout, bring the power and rigging, install on the day, and pack it out afterwards. The right call for larger sites, tricky spans, or when you would rather not think about it.

Quick answers

The questions everyone asks

Where do you cover?

Auckland as standard. Beyond that we travel across the North Island for the right job. Travel is priced honestly: time, distance, and accommodation if the install needs an overnight stay. Tell us where the site is and we will give you a straight answer on what it adds.

Dry hire or installed, which one do I want?

Both work, for different jobs. Dry hire suits smaller sites, simple spans and people happy on a ladder: you collect the kit, hang it yourself, and return it afterwards. Designed and installed is the right call for larger sites, long or high spans, tricky anchor points, or a date where nothing is allowed to go wrong. We plan the layout, bring the power and rigging, install on the day, and pack it out when it is over.

Incandescent or LED?

We stock both. Incandescent festoons give the classic look: a warm filament glow with a softness LED still struggles to match, at the cost of more power draw and more care on long runs. LED sets run cooler, draw a fraction of the power, handle longer runs off a single feed, and put up with knocks. If the look matters most, go incandescent. If the site is big, the power is tight, or the run is long, LED is the sensible call. We will tell you straight which suits your site.
