Festoon belt 5 metres

The festoon belt of 5 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.

Product dimensions

The length of the cable, for example 5 metres, stands for the distance between the power plug and the end piece of the cable. In the case of the 5 metres festoon belts there is a 50 cm 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.

Number of Sockets

For these 5 metres festoon belts, we provide a choice between 1, 2 or 3 sockets per metre. 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.

Extendable and Non-Extendable Festoon Belts

The festoon belt of 5 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.

Compatibility with LED bulbs and incandescent bulbs

Our festoon belts are compatible with LED bulbs, energy saving bulbs and incandescent bulbs. The maximum wattage per socket is 15 watt.

Outdoor Use

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.
