Montreal had never hosted a lantern carnival before. The organizing team transformed 27,000 sqm of Park Jean-Drapeau into a seven-week Chinese cultural journey, drawing 80,000 visitors and CAD $4.2M in ticket revenue, plus 120,000+ social shares. With no existing local reference point, the event relied on commanding sculptures to convert curiosity into footfall. For Event Decorations in first-time cultural festivals, a single roaring figure can anchor an entire walk-through.
The tiger stands mid-roar, body coiled in a spring-loaded stance. Black stripes are hand-painted across the white silk body, and the open mouth reveals red gums and white teeth. A landscape base of layered mountains and swirling clouds uses blue-green gradients for depth. This Giant Light Sculptures piece reads clearly from 50 meters away and rewards close inspection.
The standard configuration stands at 2.5 meters. The full set — tiger, mountain base, and cloud elements — can scale from 1 meter for indoor exhibitions to 5 meters for festival main stages. The white-and-black palette can shift to gold or yellow. The base can adopt any color scheme. Auxiliary elements can be added, removed, or redesigned.
A galvanized steel armature reinforced with cold-drawn wire captures the tiger's anatomy. Silk and oxford fabric are hand-stretched and painted over the frame in sections. LED strips embedded throughout diffuse light evenly. The sculpture ships in modular segments — body, head, base, cloud pieces — for on-site bolting and wiring. IP67-rated protection and wide-voltage 110/220V AC support global outdoor deployment.
This sculpture suits city carnivals, Lunar New Year displays, park illuminations, and cultural exhibitions where a mythological theme calls for a commanding central piece. It also fits shopping mall seasonal displays and branded event entrances.

Zigong lanterns are a recognized Chinese intangible cultural heritage. Each piece uses handcrafted steel frames, hand-painted silk coverings, and precisely integrated LED lighting. Unlike factory-produced decorations, every installation is bespoke — the silhouette, color palette, and scale are built around your specific venue and theme. The Space Center Houston project, for example, combined this 1,500-year-old craft with real-time facial recognition technology.
All electrical systems comply with CE marking requirements (LVD + EMC directives), with RoHS compliance for hazardous substance restrictions. Weatherproofing meets IP65 rating — dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction. Steel structures are designed to GB 50017 and welded per Zigong Lantern Fabrication General Specification DB51/T 2939-2022. The Kuwait Beach Carnival, operating in 45°C desert heat with sandstorms and coastal salt spray, required heat-resistant silk, UV-stabilized coatings, galvanized steel, and fully sealed electrical components — and ran for two months without interruption.
Yes. Modular designs are engineered for disassembly, storage, and reassembly. Steel frames are hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance; fabrics can be replaced or refreshed between seasons. We provide storage guides covering disassembly sequence, packaging specifications, and climate-controlled storage recommendations. The OzAsia dragon was built using modular prefabrication — shipped in containers and reassembled on-site within a predictable timeline.
Professional custom light art is worth considering when your event needs to stand out in a crowded market, when you’re targeting a premium audience, or when you need to drive measurable outcomes like foot traffic, social media engagement, or dwell time. If standard decorations feel generic and your venue lacks a visual anchor, custom light art transforms the space into a destination.
Yes. Every installation is fully custom — any shape, size, or style. A 10-meter giraffe is entirely feasible, as are pieces from 1 meter to 50 meters. We design around your venue‘s spatial constraints, viewing angles, and theme. The Kuwait Beach Carnival featured over 150 installations across 15,000 sqm, including an 8-meter Kuwait Tower replica and a life-sized camel.
