Frequently Asked Questions

Who manufactures this product and where is it made?
This product is manufactured by FestiveLanterns (Zigong Huilongtang Culture & Art Co., Ltd.) at our 60,000m² factory in Zigong, Sichuan Province, China. Zigong is known worldwide as the "Lantern Capital of China" with over 800 years of lantern-making heritage. We are a direct factory, not a trading company or reseller, which means better quality control, factory-direct pricing, and direct communication with the artisans who build your order.
Can this product be customized in size, color, or design?
Yes — full customization is our standard. We can adjust dimensions from small tabletop versions (under 1 meter) to monumental installations exceeding 30 meters in height or length. Color schemes, patterns, LED lighting effects, and design details can all be tailored to match your event theme, brand colors, or venue requirements. Send us your concept or reference images and we will provide a free 3D design proposal.
Is it suitable for outdoor installation in all weather conditions?
Absolutely. All our outdoor products are rated IP65 (waterproof) as standard, with IP67 upgrades available for ground-contact or prolonged exposure installations. The steel frames use galvanized anti-rust coating, the silk coverings are treated for UV and moisture resistance, and LED systems are commercial-grade with redundant circuits. Our products have been successfully operating in Canadian winters (-25°C), Middle Eastern desert heat (50°C+), tropical humidity, and European alpine conditions across 40+ countries.
How long does production, shipping, and installation take?
Typical timeline from signed contract to grand opening is 10–14 weeks: (1) Design & 3D visualization: 2–3 weeks, (2) Factory fabrication: 4–8 weeks depending on scale, (3) Ocean/air freight: 2–4 weeks depending on destination, (4) On-site installation: 1–3 weeks with our experienced team. Rush orders can reduce total time to 6–8 weeks for smaller projects. Every project includes weekly progress photos/videos during production so you can monitor quality remotely.
Do you handle on-site installation, or do we assemble it ourselves?
We offer full turnkey installation service — our experienced team travels to your site anywhere in the world to handle complete assembly, testing, calibration, and staff training. Team size ranges from 5 to 20+ technicians depending on project scope. If you prefer self-assembly, we provide detailed assembly manuals with diagrams, video guides, and labeled components. Most clients choose our supervised installation where we send 2–3 lead technicians to guide your local crew.
What warranty and after-sales support do you provide?
All products include a comprehensive 2-year warranty covering structural integrity, LED lighting systems, and animatronic mechanisms (where applicable). We supply a spare parts kit with every shipment covering common replacement items like LED modules, fuses, and mechanical connectors. Post-warranty, we offer discounted refurbishment services including silk replacement, repainting, LED upgrades, and mechanism servicing.
