Building Your Business with Bistro Lighting

Written by Ewing Outdoor Supply | Feb 27, 2015 12:07:22 AM

Are you passing up the opportunity to maximize potential revenue on every job?

With its high-perceived value and reasonable material and installation costs, bistro lighting is a natural add-on to almost every project. It enhances any outdoor living environment, from temporary special event setups to permanent installations for restaurants, patios, streetscapes and more.

Versatile, functional and easy-to-install, bistro lighting allows for the continued use of any outdoor space well into the evening hours while providing a fun and festive atmosphere.

The elegant strands of light create an ambient glow that encompasses an entire area, rather than positioning a single, high-wattage “glare bomb” from an elevated position.

Each plug-and-place 120-volt strand of bistro lights features a lamp at two-foot interval spacing. Each lamp features a 4-inch drop line from the main wire, ensuring that each fixture will hang straight down, regardless of whether the main wire becomes twisted or is installed at a sweeping angle.

Low-voltage LED lamp.

For maximum flexibility, bistro lights are offered in a 48-foot, 24 lamp or 100-foot, 50 lamp strand options.

The strands come with female plug tail ends for end-to-end connectability. In addition, our male lead and female tail are one foot long each, ensuring you maintain the two foot lamp spacing when connecting strands end to end!

Contractors also have a choice between a 2-watt warm white, classic Edison-style, LED lamp or an 11-watt incandescent lamp. For production based installations we also offer a 12v low voltage LED lamp that ties seamlessly into landscape lighting transformers!

The low-wattage LED lamp aids in keeping electrical costs down and virtually eliminates the labor and inconvenience associated with frequent lamp changes. Its brighter light makes it an ideal choice for high-mount installations or larger automated (set it and forget it) systems that are on nightly.

Incandescent lamp

Perfect for intimate backyard installations, the incandescent lamp creates a classic, Edison-style look that offers a soft, warm and inviting glow to match any mood or need.

Bistro lighting is non-competitive with any landscape lighting brand you are currently installing, and complements any hardscape or landscape application—just another layer of lifestyle enhancement you can add to your product repertoire!
