Custom Horse Lantern Displays

Custom Horse Lantern Displays for Events

Star Factory Lantern designs and makes horse lanterns for malls, parks, cultural events and themed visitor routes. Choose a single figure or a coordinated group, with the pose, colors, lighting and transport sections planned around your venue.

Choose a Horse Lantern for Your Venue

A horse can be the focal point of a Lunar New Year entrance, a cultural display or an animal-themed scene. For a Year of the Horse theme, the pose, colors and surrounding decoration help connect the figure with the celebration.

Start with the available space and main viewing angle. A single figure needs room for visitors to see its silhouette; a group needs a layout that accounts for every horse, base and surrounding feature.

For seasonal catalogue designs and custom zodiac scenes, explore our Lunar New Year lantern displays. Use the horse examples here to discuss the shape and finish of a specific figure.

Where Horse Lanterns Can Fit

Shopping malls and retail centers

Use a horse figure at an entrance, atrium or seasonal photo area. Confirm the available height, access openings and space for visitors to stop.

Parks, zoos and night tours

Place horses within an animal trail, zodiac zone or family photo area. For several scenes along one visitor route, start with commercial light festival planning.

Hotels, resorts and cultural venues

Match the pose, colors and surrounding scenery to the architecture or event theme. Confirm whether guests will view the display in daylight, after dark or both.

Three Workshop-Built Horse Styles

These workshop photographs show three color directions for horse figures. Compare their outlines, finish and placement, then agree the size, lighting and arrangement for your own display.

The raised head and sweeping mane give this figure a clear profile. Confirm which side visitors will see before choosing its position.

Use the pink finish as a color reference, then agree the daytime surface and the light color you want at night.

Use the purple horse to compare the group’s colors and proportions. Leave space between figures so each silhouette can be seen.

From the Horse’s Outline to the Finished Display

The approved pose and dimensions guide the frame, lighting and fabric work. Agree the details your team needs to review before the surface is finished or the sections are packed.

  • Design and scale: confirm the pose, overall dimensions, viewing angle, colors and position at the venue.
  • Frame and sections: review the horse’s outline, base, joints and any parts that separate for transport.
  • Lighting and surface: agree the lighting layout, fabric finish and painted details. Review the daytime appearance as well as the illuminated effect.
  • Checks and records: agree progress views and a lighting check before packing. Confirm which electrical and venue documents are needed for the order.

For the wider workshop process, see how custom lantern displays are made.

Settle the Site and Delivery Details Before Production

Outdoor conditions and power

Share rain and wind exposure, ground conditions, anchoring needs, cable routes and power access. Confirm the protection required for selected components, such as IP65, and the applicable CE, UL, RoHS or venue documentation.

Transport and site assembly

Check section sizes against container space and the smallest site opening. Agree protection, section and crate labels, connection information, assembly order and any lifting equipment the local crew needs.

Design and installation support

Use custom lantern displays to explore changes to shape, scale and finish. For stage-by-stage information and the support included in a quotation, review our custom lantern services.

Before dispatch, agree which drawings, packing photographs, cable or joint notes and maintenance information the receiving team will use. Specify remote guidance or on-site assistance in the quotation.

Horse Lantern Project Questions

When should we start planning a horse lantern display?

Start once the event date and venue are known. Allow time for design approval, production, lighting checks, packing, shipping and site assembly. Confirm the schedule against the size, quantity, destination and installation window.

Can horse lantern displays be used outdoors?

Yes. Share the weather exposure, ground conditions, anchoring and power requirements before the design is finalized. Confirm component protection, applicable electrical documents and the venue’s inspection requirements for the order.

Can Star Factory Lantern build a group of horses?

Yes. A group can combine different poses, sizes and colors. Confirm the full scene footprint, viewing angles, space between figures and transport sections as well as the dimensions of each horse.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Send the venue, country, approximate size and quantity, preferred poses and colors, reference images, opening date and delivery destination. Include access limits, power or documentation requirements and the local installation support available.

Can a Pinterest board or reference image be used to start the design?

Yes. Use reference images to explain the pose, colors, surface details and theme. Star Factory Lantern can develop those ideas into a horse display with dimensions, lighting and transport sections suited to the venue.

Plan Your Horse Lantern Display

Send the venue, opening date, approximate size and quantity, preferred poses and reference images. Include the destination and local installation arrangements so Star Factory Lantern can review the design and delivery requirements.
