Commercial waterproof festoon lights for contractors, venues and distributors. Custom E27/B22, 24V/230V and OEM/ODM outdoor string light systems for UK, EU and Australia projects.
WENDADECO manufactures flat cable festoon lights for commercial outdoor lighting projects, including venues, restaurants, beer gardens, markets, wedding spaces and event rental installations. Flat cable systems are the preferred choice when buyers need neat cable runs, stable socket positioning and a clean appearance for repeated outdoor use.
Our waterproof flat cable outdoor string lights can be customised with E27 or B22 lamp holders, different socket spacing, cable length, plug type, voltage and bulb style. Options include 24V low-voltage systems for public areas and 220V/230V systems for longer runs. We support contractors, distributors and venue operators with factory-direct bulk supply, OEM/ODM packaging and project specification support for the UK, Europe and Australia.
Flush mounting: Flat cable lies smoothly against surfaces — rooflines, beams, pergolas, fences and building facades — without the twisting and rotation issues common with round cable. This creates a professional, installed appearance.
Stable socket orientation: The flat profile keeps lamp holders upright and bulbs correctly oriented, preventing bulbs from rotating upside-down due to cable twist.
Easy installation: Cable clips or cable ties secure flat cable quickly along any surface. No specialised mounting hardware required.
Cost-effective: PVC flat cable is more economical than rubber round cable while providing equivalent waterproofing for permanent installations.

Can flat cable festoon lights be cut to length on site?
Yes, but only at designated cutting points between lamp holders. Cutting between sockets allows on-site length adjustment. Always seal the cut end with IP65 termination caps.
Is flat cable suitable for event rental use?
Flat cable works for occasional rental use, but round rubber cable is recommended for frequent installation/removal cycles due to superior abrasion resistance.
