Festoon/Festoon VW String / Extension String / Additional Festoon Strings
Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the
Your Festoon/Festoon VW string may be exposed to rain and moisture and comes
with an IP rated cap meant to terminate the end of the Festoon/Festoon VW string.
Retain this cap, and ALWAYS terminate the open end of your string when being used
outdoors or near moisture.

The Festoon/Festoon VW String may be installed using various ways to achieve stunning looks, but the
bulbs MUST hang at a 90° perpendicular angle to the ground. This will prevent rain or moisture from
collecting in the lamp holders.
Rigging
•
Before deciding on a location for the product, always make sure there is adequate length/distance
to the controller and other strings. Use the extension string if necessary.
•
Make sure that the structure onto which you are mounting the product can support the product's
weight. See the
Technical Specifications
•
Use the built-in eyelets to hang the Festoon/Festoon VW String. The extension string may be hung
with zip-ties or equivalent.
•
To prevent line sagging, it is recommended to use every eyelet, or in open installation areas (such
as outdoors) it is recommended to use a guy line fed through the eyelets to tighten slack.
•
Use support poles as necessary. Chauvet recommends a support pole every 8 m. If the support
poles are used as end or corner supports, they will need to be tied back.
•
The height of the attachment point should be at least 8 feet (2.4 m), or higher when deemed
necessary.
