Experiencing the joy of large-scale illuminated festive displays is a much-loved and timeless Christmas tradition enjoyed by all.

As Christmas display specialists and industry experts, our team have over a decade of experience in designing bespoke solutions to bring our client’s visions to life in shopping centres, and corporate settings as well as Council communities around Australia.

When it comes to illumination we are always mindful to provide the best advice to ensure stakeholder expectations are successfully managed. This includes the understanding that the success of the purely illuminated Christmas displays celebrated in the Northern hemisphere is due largely to their short days and long winter nights which commence from much earlier than nightfall at the same time of year in our Southern hemisphere.
Herein lies the challenge in clarifying project priorities that meet the client’s vision, stakeholder expectations and are delivered to budget.

We often find that nighttime appeal needs to be balanced with daytime appeal which results in the need for innovative solutions that deliver Christmas sparkle 24/7.

How is this achieved?

While our talented team works with each client to ensure the best Christmas display solutions are designed to meet their requirements, the most effective solutions often lie in designing displays that strategically incorporate the use of a combination of specific products during the manufacturing process.

Some of these products include the following:

Holographic vinyl

This product is a clever solution for a southern hemisphere Christmas with its long summer daylight hours. The holographic film utilises the sunlight, flickering and changing colours depending on the viewing angle. It is effective at night too, reflecting from car and street lights.
Holographic vinyl is manufactured from eco-friendly, phthalate-free PVC resins. It is quality assured and also at the core of our sustainable range of decorations.

Sequin Garland

This elegant product brings movement and sophistication to Christmas displays. It is made up of many Individual metallic discs fitted to thin wire ‘branches’ to deliver a fullness to the display. It accentuates the display design as the discs naturally position at different angles to reflect light sources. It will also move with any air movement, such as the wind or air conditioning (if inside). Sequin Garland is particularly effective at bringing daytime sparkle to decorations and adding to nighttime appeal especially when used in conjunction with traditional lighting solutions like fairy lights.

Sustainable Lighting Solutions
LED Neon flex has the ability to take the design of commercial Christmas decorations to the next level, elevating both day and night time appeal. It is available in a wide range of colours and can be used to bring extra magic to everything from Christmas trees and Santa sets to hanging or ground-based displays.
Not only is it environmentally friendly, its durable design makes it shatterproof, waterproof and it has a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours.

Traditional Lighting
Fairy lighting, rope lighting, LED and RGB lighting solutions will always have their place in creating magical moments to businesses and communities across Australia.

The key is to consider how they will present during the daytime and how this resonates with each client’s requirements. At the core of our business, is a passionate team that lives and breathes Christmas each and every day and understands the intricacies of designing products that deliver maximum impact.
