Here at Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of St. Louis we pride ourselves in thinking “outside the box” when it comes to new and unique outdoor lighting designs. Aside from the traditional outdoor lighting installations we are widely known for, we also have many clients that are looking for something a little more avant-garde to add to their home and landscape. Festival lighting, also known as fiesta lighting, is the answer.
Festival lighting is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after outdoor lighting genres in residential and commercial outdoor lighting. Festival lighting originated as a way to light outdoor areas in honor of outdoor celebrations such as street festivals and fairs. These venues were often draped in lights for an evening, or two, to celebrate a significant local event and then removed at festival’s end. Permanent festival lighting allows you to indulge in the same magic every night. We have completed many permanent festival lighting installations in and around the St. Louis area for both residential and commercial settings for many happy customers. Business owners and homeowners alike are requesting this unique lighting for their backyards, outdoor living spaces and commercial storefronts.
As a general rule of thumb, festival lighting falls into two categories, orb or pendant lighting and festoon (fiesta) lighting. Each genre of permanent festival lighting has its own distinct beauty and style. We offer our customers the choice of either LED or incandescent permanent festival lighting, which is also available in white (clear), and multiple colors. The bulbs can easily be changed out to honor a special occasion or as a way to change the mood of the area you are illuminating.

Festoon Lighting
The addition of festoon lighting can serve well in lighting an overlooked area in your landscape. It can also be used transform a dark courtyard or patio at your business into a most-requested location! This unique lighting technique works well in covered patios, porches, outdoor living structures or draped in a designated spot in your landscape.
We use multiple strands of low-voltage LED or incandescent festoon lights and string them over the span of the area we are illuminating. We use cable to support the weight of the electrical wiring when we install permanent festival lighting over an area with a large span; this ensures the safety and the integrity of the system. We always use commercial-grade lighting products and professional installation.
- Orb Lighting
Orb lighting, also known as pendant lighting, is based on the same principles as fiesta lighting, the only difference is the use of “orbs” give the appearance that the lighting is “free-floating”. Orb lighting comes in 10″, 12″ and 16″ and are available in white, colored as well as clear acrylic. These lights are contemporary in design and work well in both rural and urban themed settings.
Permanent festival lighting is just another way we are able to provide lighting that enlivens the senses.
