What Makes Exhibition Lighting Different in Europe?
European exhibition venues operate on 220-240V power at 50Hz. Lighting equipment used by exhibitors should be properly certified and suitable for the venue's electrical requirements. For EU trade shows, CE certification is essential; for UK exhibitions, UKCA compliance is also important.
Booth Lights LED arm lights are designed for these requirements, with universal voltage input and documentation available upon request.
How Does LED Arm Lighting Compare to Venue-Supplied Lighting?
| Factor | Venue lighting rental | Booth Lights LED arm light |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per show | Often EUR 200-600+ | Reusable after purchase |
| Light quality | Often mixed color and lower CRI | CRI 90+ options for product color accuracy |
| Control | Limited position and color temperature | Adjustable head and optional dual CCT models |
| Setup | Depends on venue schedule | Self-install in minutes |
| Ownership | Rental only | Reusable across multiple shows |
Which Wattage Is Right for European Exhibition Stands?
For many 3x3m and 3x4m booths, 25W LED arm lights are a strong all-purpose choice. A four-light setup consumes only 100W, leaving plenty of capacity within typical booth power allocations.
For teams focused on lower power use, the 11W LED booth arm light can be a smart option. It helps reduce electricity demand at venues where power is charged separately or where the booth has a tight wattage limit.
