Seasonal Displays for Public Venues
Star Factory Lantern designs and manufactures custom illuminated holiday decorations for malls, parks, plazas and public events. Choose an entrance feature, a coordinated group or a larger venue display, with lighting, export packing and installation support agreed for your site.
A Complete Seasonal Display
A commercial holiday lighting order can combine entrance features, walk-through arches, trees, animal or character scenes and photo settings. Start with the pieces you need, their quantities and where they will be used. Agree the design, lighting, transport sections and assembly support as one scope of supply.
For coordinated Christmas trees, Santa scenes, gift displays, entrance features, and festive photo settings.
Outdoor landmarksFor oversized trees, arches, tunnels, plaza centerpieces, and other features designed around an outdoor site.
Retail venuesFor atriums, mall entrances, tenant corridors, Santa photo areas, and short installation windows.
Wireframe lightingFor repeatable illuminated collections, coordinated wireframe sculptures, or a site-specific public landmark.
Choose by Venue
A mall atrium, zoo trail and public square need different display sizes, installation methods and finishes. Share the viewing distance, visitor access and installation window. If the displays will return next season, include the available storage space and who will reassemble them.
Choose a focal piece and supporting decorations for the atrium, entrances or photo area. Check tenant access, the installation window and how the sections will be stored between seasons.
View mall displays
Animal lanterns and family photo scenes can complement an existing visitor route. Review the animal designs, viewing positions and daytime appearance with your venue team.
Explore zoo festivals
Arches, tunnels and oversized features need space for visitors, clear sightlines and suitable access. Include the outdoor conditions, support locations and available lifting equipment in the brief.
Explore outdoor Christmas displays
Develop a lantern, floral scene or approved character around your venue. Confirm the main viewing angle, overall footprint and the details that need to read clearly in photographs.

Choose the Order Size
A single feature needs dimensions, viewing distance and a mounting plan. A coordinated display also needs a list of pieces, quantities, shared colors and installation locations. For a full light festival, use the planning service to develop the visitor route and themed zones alongside the display order.
Creative Direction
Use reference images to agree the style and scale, then choose how the pieces will work together. Christmas scenes, photo features and character displays may share a venue while needing different finishes, supports and controls.
We develop character lanterns around your approved artwork, with the pose, dimensions and surrounding decorations agreed as a coordinated seasonal scene.
View Christmas displays
Create a photo setting with illuminated wings or a custom backdrop. We review viewing angles, visitor space and power access as part of the display design.
Explore event decorations
Add character to a themed setting with expressive faces and illuminated details. For sound or movement, our custom animatronics service can develop the mechanism and controls around your brief.

Outdoor Planning
Before production begins, the team should review power access, weather exposure, drainage, anchoring, visitor barriers, service routes, lifting access, and the order in which the sections will be installed. Final structural and electrical requirements must also follow local regulations and site approval.
Design, Build, and Delivery
Agree the frame, illuminated finish, packing and assembly information before production. We can provide progress photographs and review the lighting and delivery details with your team.
Confirm the piece list and dimensions, section and crate labels, connection drawings, wiring notes and packing records. Match the assembly information to the crew, equipment and access at the venue. Agree shipping responsibilities, installation support and any spare parts in the quotation.
For Lightopia Brussels at Grand-Bigard Castle in 2022, we designed and manufactured the lantern displays, prepared them for export and guided the local installation team. The project combined a Golden Christmas Tree with characters, animals and floral scenes. Explore the Lightopia Brussels project Explore our winter lantern display project for a historic manor.
Send the venue, season, dimensions, quantities, reference images and opening date, plus any access limits.
Confirm the piece list, sizes, colors and positions. Use the festival planning service if the brief includes a complete visitor route.
Agree the lighting appearance, power requirements, control method and cable access for the proposed displays.
Review the frames, surface work and illuminated appearance. Agree the checks and progress photographs needed before packing.
Agree section labels, protection, crate dimensions and loading records with the shipping and site access plan.
Specify connection drawings, wiring notes and assembly order. Confirm remote guidance or on-site support in the quotation.
Before Requesting a Quote
Compare the same piece list, quantities and dimensions across quotations. Check what is included for design, lighting, testing, packing, shipping and installation support, and agree which drawings and records will accompany the order.
Identify the venue, usable footprint and main viewing distance. Include access openings, power locations and any installation or removal restrictions.
List the display types, quantities and sizes you need. Separate custom lantern scenes, wireframe LED sculptures and any requested moving characters so each can be specified correctly.
Review workshop progress, frame construction and illuminated samples. Agree which trial-assembly, section-label and packing records your team needs before dispatch.
Share approved artwork, original mascots or venue references. Confirm the colors, proportions and details to retain when adapting the design to a different size or setting.

FAQ
Yes. Our work can include design development, frame fabrication, surface finishing, lighting and trial assembly. Agree the production updates, section labels, export packing and installation guidance needed for your order.
A project may include entrance landmarks, illuminated arches, light tunnels, large trees, gift scenes, animal displays, seasonal characters, photo settings, and supporting pieces for the visitor route. The final mix depends on the venue and theme.
Oversized trees, arches, tunnels, and plaza landmarks usually act as anchors within a larger route. Their position, viewing distance, structure, power supply, packing, and assembly sequence should be planned together with the surrounding displays.
Yes. The layout and display mix can be developed around the site size, visitor flow, brand colors, photo locations, power access, outdoor conditions, installation window, and storage requirements.
Outdoor projects need a site-specific review of weather exposure, drainage, anchoring, barriers, cable routes, maintenance access, and lifting or assembly conditions. Electrical components can be specified for the destination and project requirements, while final approval remains subject to local regulations and site engineering.
Start with the same piece list, quantities and dimensions. Compare materials, lighting and controls, production checks, sectioning, packing, shipping, assembly information and installation support. Confirm the responsibilities and any items to be supplied by your local team.
A holiday display order can combine lantern scenes, entrance features and photo settings. Use the commercial LED light sculpture service when the main requirement is a wireframe collection, a coordinated sculpture series or a standalone illuminated landmark. A full visitor route with themed zones belongs with festival planning.
