festoon hire/purchase

[charlie_vaf]

Hi,

 

I've got a couple of jobs this summer where I need some festoon lighting.. I think that 3x100 metre runs with the lamp holders every 3m would 'do the job'.

 

Googling throws up lots site electrics/110 volt stuff.. (I'd prefer 240 volt)

 

I need to either buy/or hire some.

 

As anyone made a festoon harness? I believe it is possible to get some 'snap' fit (one use only) lamp holders, and the cable is easy to find. Is it cost effective to make your own?

 

Cheers,

Charles.

A quick look suggests essential supplies are the only ones that stock exactly what you were looking for.

I know Gary at Showtech has some - they're the vampire-tapped versions, so you can set your own spacing....

if you do get 110V version, just change the plug, providing the cbale is rated for 230 (highly likely)
