The ILED-FST-A is the classic festoon string: S14 bulbs spaced along a rubber cable, hung between poles, pergolas, trees and balconies. It is the light that turns a patio, a wedding marquee or a Christmas market stall into a place people stay. Three standard lengths cover the common jobs, and the strings connect end to end when the run is longer than one string.
The three lengths
The ILED-FST-A-10S runs 10 meters (33 feet) with 10 bulbs, spaced 1m apart with 0.25m leads at each end. The ILED-FST-A-15S is the 14.4-meter (48 feet) string with 15 bulbs on 0.95m spacing, which is the length in the product title. The ILED-FST-A-20S runs 20 meters (66 feet) with 20 bulbs on 1m spacing. Custom lengths and bulb arrangements are available, so a project with fixed pole spacing orders the string to match the poles instead of cutting and joining on site.
The bulbs
Each position carries an S14 LED bulb in an E26 or E27 socket, so a dead bulb is replaced in seconds without tools. The bulbs run 2800K to 6500K, warm white through cool daylight, at CRI above 80, and because they are LED the string draws a fraction of what an incandescent festoon draws on the same circuit. That matters for weddings and events, where a dozen strings used to be a generator question.
Outdoor build
The cable is H05VV-F 2×0.75mm² rubber, in black or white, and the string is rated IP44, with IP65 versions available for the harsher positions. The sockets are the part that fails first on a cheap festoon, so this is the place to check the sealing before the season starts. Input is 120V or 220-240VAC depending on the market, and the strings connect end to end, with the female socket on the tail taking the next string. Because the load is LED, the practical limit on a run is usually the cable and connector rating rather than the power draw, which is why the connected-string count is specified per version rather than left to guesswork.
Hanging and connecting
The strings hang from cup hooks, guide wires or zip ties. For a long run across a yard or a street, the guide wire takes the weight and the string hangs from it on its loops, which is how the commercial installations avoid sag and strain on the cable. Connect several strings end to end for longer runs, and size the circuit for the total load of the connected strings.
Dónde se utiliza
Patios and garden dining, strung between the house and a pole or a fence. Weddings and events, where the festoon is the ceiling of the marquee. Christmas and holiday displays, along rooflines, fences and trees. Cafes and restaurants, over the terrace where the ambience is the product. And market stalls and courtyards, where one string on a guide wire is the whole lighting scheme.
Choosing the spacing
The standard arrangements put the bulbs roughly 1m apart, which is the spacing that reads as a classic festoon from the ground. Closer spacing gives a denser, more even line for a low canopy over a dining table; wider spacing suits a long run across a yard where the bulbs are meant to mark the line rather than light it. Because the factory builds custom arrangements, the spacing is a decision to make at order time against the pole layout, not something to fix by cutting the string later.
Contenido de la caja
Each string ships complete with the S14 LED bulbs fitted, the lead and tail cables built to the arrangement, and the end connectors ready to link. The bulbs travel packed to survive the courier, and a spare set is worth adding to the order for an event where every bulb has to work on the night. No driver or transformer is needed; the string runs direct from the mains supply it was built for.
