Frequently Asked Questions
What type of lighting is best for a trade show booth?
LED arm lights are the most versatile choice for most booths. They clamp onto standard frame pipes, offer adjustable beam direction, and provide CRI 90+ light that makes products look their best. For product highlights or signage, add a spotlight. For banner stands, use a clip-on light. Most 10×10 exhibitors start with 2–4 arm lights.
How many lights do I need for a 10×10 trade show booth?
2–4 LED arm lights are standard for a 10×10 inline booth. Two lights at the front corners provide general coverage. Add a third or fourth light if you have a product display table or backlit graphic that needs extra illumination. Use our 10×10 Booth Lighting Setup Guide for layout examples.
Are LED trade show lights allowed at convention centers?
Yes. LED lights are permitted at virtually all major US venues including McCormick Place, Las Vegas Convention Center, and Orange County Convention Center. Our lights are ETL/UL listed, which is the certification required by most US venues. Always confirm specific wattage limits with your show organizer.
How do I attach lights to a trade show booth frame?
Our lights use a C-clamp that attaches to standard booth frame pipes (1" or 2" diameter). No tools required — tighten the clamp knob by hand. Setup takes under 60 seconds per light. Compatible with pipe-and-drape, Octanorm, and most modular booth systems.
Can I daisy-chain trade show lights to save on power drops?
Yes. Our linkable LED booth lights can be daisy-chained — connect up to 10 lights in series from a single power outlet. This is ideal for large island exhibits where power drops are expensive or limited. See our Linkable Booth Lights guide for wiring diagrams.
What wattage do I need for trade show lighting?
16W–25W LED arm lights are sufficient for most 10×10 and 10×20 booths. For larger island exhibits or high-ceiling venues, 35W–50W spotlights provide the extra punch needed to stand out. Always check your venue's power allocation — most shows provide 5A–15A per booth.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We offer free worldwide shipping. Our lights run on universal voltage (100–240V) and are CE certified for European venues in addition to ETL/UL listing for the US.
