Custom Lantern FAQ

We make illuminated displays for light festivals, theme parks, zoo events, cultural celebrations, retail venues and city events. The right design depends on the theme, available space, viewing distance and visitor route. For a complete event route, start with commercial light festival planning.

Our fabric-covered lanterns use shaped steel frames, weather-resistant fabric and internal LED lighting. The surface finish, structural details and electrical components are selected for the design and its indoor or outdoor setting. See our factory production examples for a closer look at the work.

Fabric lanterns use shaped steel frames covered with fabric and lit from within, creating coloured surfaces, painted details and character scenes. Commercial LED light sculptures use visible LED lines to define the form, often leaving the wireframe exposed. Choose by the appearance you want in daylight and after dark.

With suitable maintenance, our lantern displays typically last three to five years or longer. Maintenance includes repairing and touching up the surfaces, checking electrical safety and inspecting the structure. Weather exposure, operating hours and storage conditions affect the upkeep needed. Discuss the display period and reuse plan with us before ordering. Review our outdoor display considerations when preparing the brief.

As a guide, an individual custom lantern usually takes 15 to 20 days to produce, while a complete festival display typically takes 25 to 30 days. The schedule depends on quantity, size, design complexity and workshop capacity. Confirm the production start date and completion date for your order, allowing separately for design development, freight, customs clearance and site assembly.

We arrange international freight by sea or air according to the order and destination. Large displays can be divided into transport sections, protected with wrapping and packed in plywood crates where needed. Agree section sizes, packing and loading arrangements, shipment documents and assembly information before dispatch.

Our production process follows ISO 9001 quality management standards. CE documentation and IP65-rated electrical components are available according to project requirements. Tell us the venue’s electrical, weather-exposure and documentation requirements before ordering, so we can confirm which components and supporting documents apply.

Price depends on dimensions, structural and surface detail, lighting, quantity, packing, delivery and installation support. Send approximate sizes, quantities, reference images, the opening date and destination for a project quotation. Confirm the drawings, checks, packing and support included when comparing offers.
