Banner Light — LED Lights for Exhibition Banners & Banner Stands

Banner Light

A banner light is a compact LED fixture designed to illuminate exhibition banners, retractable banner stands, and pull-up displays. Banner lights address a specific challenge: banner stands have thin, tall uprights that are difficult to clamp standard lights onto, and the banner surface itself is narrow (typically 80–100 cm wide) and tall (up to 220 cm), requiring a light that can cover this vertical format efficiently.

Banner Stand Upright Compatibility

Standard retractable banner stand uprights are 18–25 mm in diameter — thinner than most display frame rails. BOOTH LIGHTS banner lights include a clamp pre-configured for this range, with a rubber-lined jaw that grips the upright securely without scratching the finish. The clamp attaches at the top of the upright, positioning the light above the banner graphic.

Illuminating a Vertical Banner Format

A standard exhibition banner is 80–100 cm wide and 200–220 cm tall. Lighting this format from a single top-mounted point requires a wide horizontal spread (to cover the full width) combined with a downward angle (to illuminate the lower two-thirds of the banner). BOOTH LIGHTS banner lights use an asymmetric beam pattern — wider horizontally than vertically — optimized for this exact format.

Weight and Balance

Banner stands are not designed to carry significant top loads. BOOTH LIGHTS banner lights weigh under 280g including the clamp, keeping the stand stable even on carpet or uneven flooring. Heavier lights risk tipping the stand, particularly in high-traffic areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a standard arm light on a banner stand?

Standard arm lights with clamps rated for 8–40 mm frames may not grip banner stand uprights (18–25 mm) securely, as the clamp jaw is designed for wider frame profiles. BOOTH LIGHTS banner lights use a clamp specifically sized for banner stand uprights.

How do I position a banner light for best coverage?

Mount the banner light at the top of the upright, angled down at 30–45°. This angle illuminates the upper two-thirds of the banner directly and allows reflected light to reach the lower third. For full-length even coverage on a 220 cm banner, add a second light at mid-height on the upright.

Will a banner light tip over my banner stand?

Not if you use a light within the weight limit. BOOTH LIGHTS banner lights weigh under 280g, which is within the stability tolerance of all standard retractable banner stands on flat flooring. On carpet or uneven surfaces, use the banner stand’s base weight bag if included.

Are banner lights the same as roll-up banner lights?

Yes. Roll-up banner, pull-up banner, and retractable banner stand all refer to the same display format. Banner lights designed for this format work on all three.
