The festoon belt of 15 metres is ideal for adding atmosphere to your garden, party or restaurant. The beauty of the festoon belts with E27 sockets is that the product has changed very little over time. Our sturdy festoon belts are made of high quality rubber and contain a copper core of 2 x 1.5 mm². The festoon belts are suitable for outdoor use. Our festoon belts are plug and play, which means that the sockets, the plug, sealing rings, and the end cap come pre-assembled. Upon receiving these festoon belts, all that remains is to screw the bulbs (can be ordered separately) into their sockets.
The length of the cable, for example 15 metres, stands for the distance between the power plug and the end piece of the cable. In the case of the 15 metres festoon belts there is a 1.5 metres distance between the power plug and the first socket. If you find this distance to be too small, then you can always order an extension cord. Click here for detailed drawings of the festoon belts and all the measurements.
PLEASE NOTE: the 15 metres festoon belt with 15 sockets is not suitable to use in combination with the filament bulbs on our website. This has to do with the fact that the bottom of the filament bulb is narrower than the one of a standard bulb, which has a bottom with a diameter of 45 or 60 mm. As a result, the sealing ring does not fit tightly enough around the bottom of the filament bulb, which makes it insufficiently splash-proof for outdoor use. This festoon belt is suitable to use in combination with our standard round bulbs with a diameter of 45 mm.
For these 15 metres festoon belts, we provide a choice between 15, 20 or 30 sockets. The amount of sockets will depend on the lighting effect you wish to create, as well as on the available budget. Most of our customers choose to have 2 sockets per metre.
The festoon belt of 15 metres is not extendable. However, if you would like to extend this festoon belt, you can mount a female plug at the end. When connecting the festoon belts, make sure that the total wattage is never higher than 1500 watt and that the total length of the festoon belt is never longer than 300 metres.
Our festoon belts are compatible with LED bulbs, energy saving bulbs and incandescent bulbs. The maximum wattage per socket is 15 watt.
When using our festoon belts outdoors, it is important that the bulbs (not included) are well protected against water damage. Therefore, please make sure that the bulbs are screwed in correctly (see manual). The sealing ring will then prevent water from leaking into the socket.
